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).

Review: The Devil’s Doorbell Anthology
The Devi's Doorbell Anthology Released: April 26, 2016 Erotic Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm super impressed with this erotic anthology. I'm not a big fan of anthologies, but I couldn't pass up a collection of dirty stories from these authors. They are done well. Almost all feature a heroine who is coming back from a bad divorce or break-up, and trying to find herself again. And each features mention of the devil's doorbell *wink* I highly recommend! In the Garden by Continue Reading
Review: Undecided by Juliana Keyes
Undecided by Juliana Keyes Released: April 4, 2016 New Adult Self Published Reviewed by Kini This author is one of my auto buys after I read her book, Just Once. She has not led me astray. I remain on the fence about new adult books, but I just keep finding really good stories in that genre so I keep reading. This was definitely up there in the top of the genre. Low drama and angst Nora spent her first year at college drinking and partying and living the college dream. This did not Continue Reading

Review: Eidolon by Grace Draven
Eidolon by Grace Draven (Wraith Kings #2) Released: April 18, 2016 Fantasy Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Before I begin, let me stress that you must read book one, Radiance before Eidolon, or you will be lost in this world. If you have yet to read Radiance than you have failed in life, because it's amazing and romantic and a must read. No pressure. Eidolon picks up pretty much where Radiance leaves off. Brishen, a Kai who has greyish skin, odd eyes, fangs for teeth and Continue Reading
