Review: Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Beards & Bondage #1) Released: April 26, 2017 BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi How can I pass up a series titled, Beards & Bondage?? What I liked most about this story is while it is erotic, and there is a beard, and there is some bondage, their courtship is presented so well. And the trauma and recovery the heroine goes through in this book felt so realistic. Claudia is from the city but goes on a camping trip with her brother but they run Continue Reading
Review: Relaunch Mission by Robyn Bachar
Relaunch Misson by Robyn Bachar Released: April 24, 2017 Sci-Fi Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "I'm not going to be caught naked, midcoitus when the ship enters hyperspace. That's asking for sprains in places we don't want." The blurb and the cover drew me into this one and I ended up really enjoying it. I'll say up front while there is a HEA and love scenes, the romance does take a back seat to the sci-fi action. But the heroine is awesome, and her crew is Continue Reading

The VIP Doubles Down by Nancy Herkness (Wager of Hearts #3) Released: April 18, 2017 Contemporary Romance Montlake Romance Reviewed by Mandi This is book three of the series centered around a group of three male friends who make bets about whether they will find true love. This is the first I've read of the series and it stood alone well. The bet thankfully didn't play too much into this story - I don't like it when there is a bet, which leads to a relationship, and the eventually the Continue Reading
