Review: Most Eligible Bastard by Annika Martin
Most Eligible Bastard by Annika Martin Contemporary Romance Released: November 7, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed Annika Martin's (aka Carolyn Crane) voice for some time - her books usually involve zany bad guys and are erotic. This one doesn't have a bad guy - just a hero who starts off a little....bastardy. But he is actually a great guy - it just takes some time for that side to be noticed. Henry Locke is the CEO of a very large construction/poperty company. He Continue Reading

Review: Hooking Up by Helena Hunting
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
