Running Wild by Linda Howard and Linda Jones. (The Men from Battle Ridge #1) November 27, 2012 Contemporary Romance Ballantine Reviewed by Mandi I’m not huge on romantic suspense stories that involve stalkers. They frustrate me because I feel like either the stalker isn’t really a viable threat or the heroine doesn’t take her safety seriously, making me roll my eyes. So when this story started, I braced for frustration, instead I was impressed with the stalker and the story Continue Reading

Getting Hotter by Elle Kennedy (Out of Uniform #8) Released: November 20, 2012 Erotic Contemporary Romance Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year, I read my first Elle Kennedy book, Feeling Hot and immediately purchased her back list and read all of her Out of Uniform series.

Top Ten Reasons to read Leave Me Breathless by Cherrie Lynn
A few days ago, I saw Kati tweet something about a tattooed hero, and immediately had to click the link to see what she was talking about.

The hero, Seth “Ghost” Warren is a tattoo artist, with a shaved head and a pierced peen. Do I Continue Reading
Review: Rescue My Heart by Jill Shalvis
Rescue My Heart by Jill Shalvis (Animal Magnetism #3) Contemporary Romance Released: November 6, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoy Jill Shalvis’s voice and her Lucky Harbor series is one of my favorite contemporary series.

Adam was the bad boy growing up. Having a rough childhood, his Continue Reading
