Harlequin Contemporary Romance Box Set Vol 2 Released: June 2, 2014 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi This boxed set contains four stories, two of which I really liked, one was just okay and one I didn't like at all. I think for the current Amazon price of $3.82, it's worth it for the two stories I enjoyed. All of these stories will be available separately in September. I'm going to review them out of order from how they appear in the set. All I Have by Nicole Continue Reading
Review and Giveaway: For the Longest Time by Kendra Leigh Castle
For The Longest Time by Kendra Leigh Castle (Harvest Cove #1) Contemporary Romance July 1, 2014 Signet Reviewed by Helyce I’ve been a fan of Ms. Castle for years now. Her paranormals have always been an auto buy for me and I especially enjoyed her recent Dark Dynasties and Hearts of the Fallen series. So while I was surprised at her jump to contemporary romance, I looked forward to it. Excited to see what she’d come up with and I’m thrilled to tell you how much I enjoyed this Continue Reading
Review: Suddenly Last Summer by Sarah Morgan
Suddenly Last Summer by Sarah Morgan (O'Neil Brothers #2) Released: June 24, 2014 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Today I chopped liver that has more brain than you. I'm a big fan of Sarah Morgan, but for some reason I never picked up the first book in this series, Sleigh Bells in the Snow. May adored it last year, so when this book came around, I grabbed it and I have to say, it's one of the best contemporaries I've read this year. It was just Continue Reading

Review: Melting into You by Tracey Alvarez
Melting Into You by Tracey Alvarez (Due South #2) Contemporary Romance Released: June 8, 2014 Icon Publishing Reviewed by Mandi Similar to book one, In too Deep, this one is cute but at times slow. Maybe even a bit slower than the first book. I think this author has a nice voice, and her books are easy to read with likable characters, but not a lot happens. Kezia Murphy's husband died four years ago and at the same time her daughter Zoe battled leukemia - so to be standing strong in Continue Reading
Review: The Billionaire Submissive by Joely Sue Burkhart
The Billionaire Submissive by Joely Sue Burkhart Erotic Contemporary Released: June 17, 2014 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi This book has a really strong start but I had some problems with it after a while ( (pretty sure I've said that in 1,000 reviews). When the author sent me the review request, I couldn't help but be intrigued with a billionaire submissive hero. Donovan Morgan may be wealthy beyond all imagination, but he isn't pleased sexually. He craves to be dominated, but hates going Continue Reading

Review: Burned by Sarah Morgan
Burned by Sarah Morgan (Miller Sisters #2) Released: May 27, 2014 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi This is a quick read with great sexual tension and a sexy, intense hero. I loved Ripped by Sarah Morgan last year, which features the heroine's sister. Burned is Rosie's story, who was so cute in Ripped (and she is still cute!). Rosie's passion is the martial art of Muay Thai. She works at a fitness center which has just been sold to new management, so she is unsure about Continue Reading
