Hurricane by Cherry Adair (Cutter Bay #5) Released: April 4, 2017 Romantic Suspense St. Martin's Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "She was so horny her eyeballs throbbed." Back in the day, I read quite a bit of Cherry Adair (remember her T-Flac series??? Those were my crack.). She writes fun, steamy romances and we get that with Hurricane. We also get an over the top suspense plot with an over the top villain, which made me roll my eyes a little. But still a fun book. Rydell is a Continue Reading

He ran his knuckles over her jawline. "Sweet?" I should have killed you when I had the chance," she said. She snuggled closer to him. I really enjoyed everything about this book.

Review: Absolve Me by Morgaine Cameron
Absolve Me by Morgaine Cameron BDSM Released: March 20, 2017 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I like the taboo nature of priest romance books (I recommend you check out Amber Belldene's series) and this one throws in a few extra kinks. Liza is a sex therapist/surrogate. I had never heard of a sex surrogate before this book, and I learned that in some cases she actually has sex with her clients to help them through issues they may be having. She can also help couples who are having Continue Reading

Review: What it Takes by Shannon Stacey
What it Takes by Shannon Stacey (Kowalski Family #10) Released: February 28, 2017 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I've really enjoyed the Kowalski series over the years. I've not read the entire series, but several, especially those in the beginning. It's a nice contemporary series - it makes me laugh, and the heroes and heroines are nice and a little dirty. A good combination. This book has a stand alone romance but is also a reunion book. We meet Laney, whose Continue Reading
