The Billionaire’s Muse by Ava Lore (the complete series) March 11, 2013 Erotic Contemporary Brittle Divinity Press Reviewed by Mandi Oh this book. Why did I read another billionaire hero you ask? Wellll…I received this review request and I went onto Goodreads and scanned reviews. This book was originally published as a five book series, but now it is all combined into one book. When scanning reviews for part three there were many – OMG! WTF! This hero is insane! So of course I had to Continue Reading
Review: Kentucky Home by Sarah Title
Kentucky Home by Sarah Title April 18, 2013 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi When I received this review request I first noticed Sarah Title is a debut author, which I am always eager to try and then the horses on the cover drew me in. Giddy up. This one very pleasantly surprised me. When it first starts we meet Luke, who is the hero’s brother. Luke left his family’s Kentucky horse farm to move to DC and explore other adventures. He met Mallory at a business Continue Reading
Review: After Hours by Cara McKenna
After Hours by Cara McKenna April 16, 2013 Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi I never know what to expect from Cara McKenna (or her Meg Maguire pen name), which is why I always have my eye out for a new release. They don’t always work for me, but when they do they really work for me. She takes chances and seems to push the envelope with her characters and the situations she places them in. Her latest, After Hours takes place at a dangerous psych ward. I really Continue Reading
Review: Real by Katy Evans
Real by Katy Evans (Real, Raw & Ripped #1) Contemporary Romance April 8, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I had heard some good buzz about this book on Twitter and the blurb definitely caught my eye so when the author offered this book for review, I grabbed it. There is something about a boxing hero that makes me weak. Especially a dirty talking, broken, dark boxing hero. And as our story starts, Remington is all of that. Having been banned from professional boxing for Continue Reading
Review: The Proposition by Jennifer Lyon
The Proposition by Jennifer Lyon (The Plus One Chronicles #1) February 22, 2013 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi By all accounts I should not have accepted this book for review. First, it’s book one in a trilogy and I’m not a fan of this new trend in drawing out a couple’s story into three parts. Also the hero is a billionaire, and besides Gideon Cross, it’s rare that a billionaire hero works for me (mostly because they are assholes). But, I’ve read Jennifer Continue Reading
Review: The Stillness of You by Julie Bale
The Stillness Of You (Beautifully Damaged #1) by Julie Bale New Adult March 12, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “Ben Lancaster was going to break me and I didn’t care. I didn’t care at all “ The Stillness of you is a raw, emotional, turbulent, and honest contemporary romance that addresses mental illness and the stigma that unfortunately follows it. Well written with a smooth storyline, well plotted conflicts, and some smoking hot romance. Strong characters Continue Reading
Review: Protecting What’s His by Tessa Bailey
Protecting What’s His by Tessa Bailey (Line of Duty #1) February 23, 2013 Contemporary Romance Entangled Publishing Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Baby, I’m jealous of men who haven’t even seen you yet.” When I received the review request for this book, I have to admit I saw the cover and it caught my eye. I guess the blurb did too. I’m so glad I’m a hussy for this cover because this book really surprised me. I laughed and laughed at the beginning and then the hero comes in with Continue Reading
Review: The Summer He Came Home by Juliana Stone

Review: Nautier and Wilder by Lora Leigh and Jaci Burton
Nautier and Wilder by Lora Leigh and Jaci Burton (Nauti #7-Wild Riders #6) Contemporary Romance Duology April 2, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce Nauti Siren by Lora Leigh Piper Mackay is so done with her overbearing and over protective brother Dawg and her cousins Rowdy and Natches. If they would just let up a little, she wouldn’t feel so suffocated in her day to day life. They are never far, monitoring her and her sisters in every minute detail. She just wants a little space to Continue Reading
