Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas (The Ravenels #2) Released: May 31, 2016 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi I enjoyed this book more than book one, so yay for that! We meet Rhys and Helen in book (although this can be read as a standalone). They fall in love in book one, they get engaged in book one. What's left for this book, right? Well, at the end of book one (omg I'll stop saying "book one") they have a fight and they break up. This is where book two starts. Rhys was Continue Reading

Review: Deep Dark by Laura Griffin
Deep Dark by Laura Griffin (Tracers #10) Romantic Suspense Released: May 24, 2016 Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi I'll say it again - I love this romantic suspense series by Laura Griffin. So well done. Deep Dark has a thirty-nine year old homicide detective hero and a twenty-four year old cybercrime hacker - and their chemistry is soooo good.

Review: Showmance by L.H. Cosway
Showmance by L.H. Cosway Romance Contemporary May 16, 2016 Self Published Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to just love and be loved in return.” Fans are sure to notice the deviation in plot and characterization that Cosway takes in her latest endeavor. Showmance is a sweet, sexy, mildly angst driven romance that perfectly showcases the allure of opposite attraction by slowing building a relationship between an introvert and a romantic. Mild Continue Reading
Review: Midnight Quest by Lisa Marie Rice
Midnight Quest by Lisa Marie Rice (Men of Midnight #4.5) Released: April 19, 2016 Novella Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This is a follow-up novella to Midnight Vengeance, so the couple has already had their HEA. I've read Midnight Vengeance, but I don't remember it, and this still read really easy as a stand-alone. I love Lisa Marie Rice books. They always have super alpha, over-protective heroes who are obsessively in love with the heroine. Over the top in love - it's fun. Jacko Continue Reading

Review: The Devil You Know by Jo Goodman
The Devil You Know by Jo Goodman (McKenna Brothers #2) Released: May 3, 2016 Western Historical Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed the previous book in this series (both are stand alones) so I was excited to pick this one up. Jo Goodman writes very well-developed characters, and Willa and Israel carried this story. I'll start by saying, this is not an action-packed book. There are some secrets, a little intrigue, and some scuffles with neighbors, but otherwise, not a lot Continue Reading
