Carry Me Home by Lia Riley (Off the Map #3.1) New Adult Novella Released: May 5, 2015 Reviewed by Mandi This is the first I've read of Lia Riley and this series - I assume Tanner and Sunny have had page time in previous books but I didn't feel cheated or left out of their story.

She is in his race car bed and he says things like: "Damn, Continue Reading

Review: Ripped by Edie Harris
Ripped by Edie Harris (Blood Money #2) Releases: May 18, 2015 Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read Blamed, book one in this series and I loved it.

Review: Colin by Sotia Lazu
Colin by Sotia Lazu (Threefold #1) Released: March 19, 2015 Erotic Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I accepted this review request because the author mentioned this: Although the trilogy eventually involves m/f/m and m/m, this part is m/f and includes voyeurism.
