Review: Midnight Alias by Elle Kennedy
Midnight Alias by Elle Kennedy (Killer Instincts #2) Romantic Suspense February 5, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoy Elle Kennedy’s Out of Uniform series she writes for Samhain so when I saw she was writing a romantic suspense series, I thought I’d give book two a try. It didn’t quite do it for me though. The book starts out strong. Due to her mom’s cancer and huge medical bills, Olivia had to drop out of college and work to pay all the bills. When her friends offers Continue Reading
Review: Going Under by Lauren Dane
Going Under by Lauren Dane (Bound by Magick #3) February 5, 2013 Paranormal Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I recently discovered this series and read the first two books and really enjoyed them. Lauren Dane has created a really nice paranormal world mostly filled with witches, but other supernaturals as well. While each book features a new hero and heroine, the world has been building up the past two books. This book really dives into what would happen if witches were Continue Reading
Review: One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean
One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean (The Rules of Scoundrels #2) January 29, 2013 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi I found the set-up in the beginning of this book to be so far-fetched that I could not buy into it, therefore setting a frustrating tone for this book. Pippa is engaged to be married to an Earl. It is not a love match, rather she is the last of her sisters to get married and her father thinks she will do well by this man. He is a kind man, but Continue Reading

With two new stories and two previously published ones, Holding Out For a Hero has a nice mix of stories and brings some heat as well. Christine Bell and Ella Dane - Continue Reading

Review: The Trouble With Being Wicked by Emma Locke
The Trouble With Being Wicked by Emma Locke (The Naughty Girls #1) Historical Romance December 18, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I believe this is the debut for Emma Locke and with a cute cover and a cute blurb, I had to try it. At times this book was rather adorable, and at times this book was rather slow. I think overall this author has the potential to write a charming, sexy book. This one didn’t quite make it there for me though. Celeste Gray is a very well known Continue Reading
