I liked its really dark erotic content. When she offered me her latest, Hear Me for review, I grabbed it. However, Hear Me is even more extreme in its dark content and I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it. First let me Continue Reading

Released: August 28, 2012 Paranormal Romance Brava Reviewed by May A pair of paranormal romance novellas, each around 150 pages long and each features a wolf shifter, finding true love, and of course trouble with humans.

Series: Barker Triplets #1 Released: October 1, 2012 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a contemporary romance with a hockey hero and Logan Forest is a pretty good hockey player in this book. But when I found very intriguing when I heard about this book, is that Billie Jo, the heroine, is the true hockey star. Billie Jo was so good at hockey, she left her small town and moved to Sweden to play on a professional men’s team that allowed women to play as Continue Reading
