Review: Succubi Are Forever by Jill Myles
Succubi are Forever by Jill Myles (Succubus Diaries #4) Paranormal Romance April 20, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi When I read book one, I honestly didn’t like Jackie, the heroine very much.

Barefoot in the Sand by Roxanne St. Clair (Barefoot Bay #1) Contemporary Romance May 1, 2012 Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “How’d it go with the big stud? That’s an architectural term, you know.” I believe this book is the first foray into contemporary romance for Roxanne St. Claire.
