Review: Blamed by Edie Harris
Blamed by Edie Harris (Blood Money #1) Released: November 3, 2014 Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: --her phone chimed with an incoming text. "You...you need to let me look at that." "I need my cock inside you, is what I need." (damn boy!) I was hooked on this book from the first page of the prologue.. Which is kind of funny because when I got to the end of the book, I had forgotten about the prologue (first chapter goes back in time) and then my Continue Reading
Review: In the Raw by Eileen Griffin and Nikka Michaels
In the Raw by Eileen Griffin and Nikka Michaels M/M Romance Released: October 6, 2014 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Two of my favorite things - boys kissing and food.

Except not, not, not. Jamie comes from a very wealthy family who own a chain of restaurants. He is expected to work for them after Continue Reading

Review: Private Politics by Emma Barry
Private Politics by Emma Barry (The Easy Part #2) Released: September 8, 2014 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read and enjoyed Special Interests by Emma Barry and was excited to see she had another book coming out revolving around DC politics. Now, before you scrunch your nose and tell me you don't want to read about our lovely government, let me tell you - Emma Barry makes it very interesting. Where we could get bogged down in dry terminology and boring Continue Reading
Review: Midnight Vengeance by Lisa Marie Rice
Midnight Vengeance by Lisa Marie Rice (Midnight #4) Released: August 18, 2014 Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I'm a fan of Lisa Marie Rice's voice - she writes very over the top alpha men who fall to the feet of the heroine. It's all very sexy and this book is no different. Morton Jackman, known as Jacko to his friends, is a former Navy SEAL sniper who now works in private security. He is a bad ass, who gets a lot of boners when he looks upon a friend of his boss's Continue Reading

Review: Sharp Love by Ava March
Sharp Love by Ava March (Gambling on Love #2) Historical M/M Released: June 9, 2014 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi In a rare turn of events, this Ava March book didn't work for me.

Both orphans, they beg, stole and survived on the streets as children. As adults, their life took separate courses. Jack Continue Reading
