Raw Deal by Cherrie Lynn (Larson Brothers #1) Releases: January 24, 2017 Contemporary Romance Swerve Reviewed by Mandi Years ago I read some of Cherrie Lynn's Ross Siblings books and I really enjoyed them so when I saw she has a new series coming out I was eager to try it. This book worked pretty well for me. I love the set-up - Savannah's brother is a well-known MMA Cage fighter who dies by an accidental punch to the head by his opponent.

Review: Love and First Sight by Josh Sundquist
Love At First Sight by Josh Sundquist Young Adult Contemporary Released: January 3, 2017 Little, Brown Books For Young Readers Reviewed by Helyce I heard about this book when Netgalley was doing an early arc giveaway to the first 50 requestors. I didn’t win an advanced copy, but I was intrigued by the blurb so I purchased this book when it was released. I haven’t read a YA book in a long time, but I’m so glad that I picked this one up. Will Porter has been blind since birth. His Continue Reading
Review: Phantom Kiss by Chloe Neill
Phantom Kiss by Chloe Neill Series: Chicagoland Vampires, #12.5 Urban Fantasy Romance January 17, 2017 Orion Books Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “I'm obedient when it counts.” Chloe Neill takes pity on her faithful fans and gifts us a small adventure with Merit and Ethan before the final farewell novel, Blade Bound, releases. This novella isn’t necessary to the advancement of the series and can be read as one’s leisure. Fans will remember in Midnight Marked, Ethan and Merit found Continue Reading

I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills. He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing. Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. Only, turned out, he wasn't an intruder at all. Drew was the rightful occupant of Continue Reading
Review: The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood
The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood (The Rule Breakers #2) Released: January 16, 2017 Contemporary Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi I adored The Rule Book last year and was excited to try another from Jennifer Blackwood. This one is just as good - maybe even better. And just to put out there - there are sex scenes this time! I know a few people who didn't read the first book due to fade to black scenes. That book had such great sexual tension it was a bit of a let down to have the Continue Reading
Review: Wild Kisses by Skye Jordan
Wild Kisses by Skye Jordan Series: Wildwood, #2 Contemporary Romance Released: January 10, 2017 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: “I still feel like I’m in a dream. All anxious that I’m going to wake up and I’m still going to be fighting to reach this dream.” You can't keep a good gal down! It has been a while since I've enjoyed a heroine like Avery. Initially coming off as quiet and meek and ripe for being taken advantage of, I was concerned that her personality would be Continue Reading
Review: Perfect Game by Casey Cameron
Perfect Game by Casey Cameron (Legendary Pairs #1) Released: January 1, 2017 M/M Contemporary Novella Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a nerdy romance and this fit the bill quite nicely. Neil is an awkward guy - a research biologist getting his PhD, living in a new city has Neil a little lonely. One thing that gets him out of the house is playing in Legendary Pairs tournaments. Legendary Pairs is a fast-paced card game - I don't know what I can compare it to - but it features Continue Reading

Review: Fearless by Lauren Gilley
Fearless by Lauren Gilley (Dartmoor #1) Released: January 2015 Motorcycle Club Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I wanted to be special to you." "Fillette, you were always that.” It's been a while since I've read a big, epic book and throw on top of it the fact that this book is a motorcycle club romance - something that has been missing from my life recently, and I was set to snuggle in and be drawn into the world of the Lean Dogs. The Lean Dogs are a Continue Reading
