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

Review: Martinis with the Devil by A.A. Chamberlynn
Martinis with the Devil by A.A. Chamberlynn (Part #1) Released: April 2016 Urban Fantasy Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm cautious to try urban fantasy books that are shorter in length because I always feel a new urban fantasy world needs time to build and simmer before I can really get into it. However, I'm happy to say that this book, coming in at 133 pages, is pretty well done. But let me also warn that it is part one of two, and it ends in a cliffhanger (part two has been Continue Reading

Review: Fly With Me by Chanel Cleeton
Fly With Me by Chanel Cleeton (Wild Aces #1) Released: May 3, 2016 Erotic Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed Chanel Cleeton's previous political series, so when I heard she was doing a new series about fighter pilots, I got excited! Top Gun, y'all!! Except as we learn from our hero, it's not Top Gun. These guys are in the Air Force, Top Gun was the Navy. Whatever! (There are a lot of cute top gun references in this book though). U.S. Air Force fighter Continue Reading
