Review: Tanya by Rebecca Rogers Maher
Tanya by Rebecca Rogers Maher Released: April 30, 2014 Erotic Novella Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read The Bridge by Rebecca Rogers Maher, a very powerful novella about two people who meet when they are on a bridge ready to commit suicide. As you can probably guess, these two end up leaving this bridge and falling in love. In those short pages, Maher really excelled at giving us a very dark, emotional love story. Tanya takes place during the wedding of Henry and Continue Reading

Review: Misunderstandings by Tiffany King
Misunderstandings by Tiffany King (Woodfall Girls #2) Released: May 6, 2014 New Adult Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I was so intrigued when I started this book.

Review: Bet On Me by Alisha Rai
Bet On Me by Alisha Rai (Bedroom Games #3) Released: April 8, 2014 Erotic Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed the heck out of this erotic trilogy and I'm sad to see it end, but it is a very satisfying ending. I highly recommend you read this series in order - they are all novella-length books, so they are quick reads. One thing that really stands out about Wyatt and Tatiana in this series is how mature they are. They have fears, and are scared of commitment and Continue Reading
Review: Make You Mine by Macy Beckett
Make You Mine by Macy Beckett (Dumont Bachelors #1) Contemporary Romance Released: May 6, 2014 Signet Reviewed by Mandi I had never read Macy Beckett before and when I saw this was the start of a new series, I decided to give it a try. I didn't dislike this book - there are some cute moments that made me laugh and a sexy romance that turns romantic. But it also felt a little over the top with all of the curse stuff. For close to 100 years, the men in the Dumont family of New Orleans Continue Reading
Review: How to Say Goodbye by Amber Lin
How to Say Goodbye by Amber Lin New Adult Released: April 7, 2014 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've read several of Amber Lin's previous books, and while sometimes the stories don't work for me, her voice is just lovely and I'm always eager to read her next one. This time, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I was hesitant because it's a New Adult (hero is 18 and heroine is 19) and I'm kind of over the super, emo angst that this genre always brings, but this one is different. I'd say Continue Reading
