Hooking Up by Helena Hunting Released: November 7, 2017 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi All I wanted was a nice wedding. Instead I end up with a husband who gets a blow job during our reception - and it's broadcast to everyone attending. I've enjoyed Helena Hunting's voice in the past - she usually makes me giggle and highlight all of her over-the-top silly quotes. Her books are super fun. Hooking Up is also fun, and a great read, but it's not as raunchy and goofy Continue Reading

Review: Rewritten by Bronwyn Green
Rewritten by Bronwyn Green (Bound #8) Released: September 27, 2017 Contemporary/BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This one had its ups and downs for me. For the most part I enjoyed it, but it did have a little slower beginning and a rushed ending - and I wasn't super into the BDSM aspect of it. But the hero and heroine are cute together. Angus is a Scottish popular sci-fi author who has a hit a rut. A big rut. He was going to end his series, but then was offered a bunch of money Continue Reading

Review: Ready for Wild by Liora Blake
Ready for Wild by Liora Blake (Grand Valley #3) Released: October 31, 2017 Contemporary Romance Gallery Books Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and picked this one up without even reading the blurb. Had I read the blurb, I may not have proceeded: Blurb: Braden Montgomery is certain about three things: one, luck is for suckers; two, time spent outdoors is what keeps him sane; and, three, when it comes to sharing his bed, there’s only one female he’s Continue Reading
Review: Touch of Red by Laura Griffin
Touch of Red by Laura Griffin (Tracers #12) Romantic Suspense Released: October 31, 2017 Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi This is my favorite romantic suspense series - I'm a huge fan of suspense in general. Almost 100% of what I listen to is suspense (not necessarily romantic) and the darker the better. (Shout-out to Karin Slaughter). Touch of Red is not the creepiest or grittiest of Lauren Griffin's work, but it's still enjoyable, even with a slightly annoying heroine. Brooke Porter Continue Reading
Review: Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates (Copper Ridge #10) Contemporary Romance Released: October 24, 2017 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Honey, I only know how to be inappropriate. And I think you like that about me." I'll start every Maisey Yates review by saying she is my go-to comfort read author. The story arcs and the set-up all might be a little similar, but I like it. I know what I'm going to get with a Yates book. Her heroes seem to be always a little gruff - Continue Reading
Review: His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras
His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras Matched to Perfection #1 Contemporary Romance September 26, 2017 Zebra Shout Reviewed by Kini I was a little worried about reading two dance related books so close together, and although they share several common things like Latinx author, Latinx characters, and dancing, they are very different. Yazmine, our heroine, has been a dancer since she was a young girl. She went to New York after high school and was working in the industry but left Continue Reading

Review: Take the Lead by Alexis Daria
Take the Lead by Alexis Daria Dance Off #1 Contemporary Romance October 3, 2017 Swerve Reviewed by Kini This is basically a romance novel set in a fictional version of Dancing with the Stars. I watch the show with some regularity, so I was pretty interested in this book. It also features a Latinx heroine by a Latinx author, doubling my interest. Gina is a pro dancer on “The Dance Off” and really wants a strong partner to help her to the championship and ultimately win the show. She Continue Reading
