DNF Review: Rush by Maya Banks
Rush by Maya Banks (Breathless #1) Erotic Contemporary February 5, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Maya Banks has a new trilogy releasing following three billionaires who run swanky hotels.

Guest Review: Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
I’m happy to have Shelly back with another guest review. She reads a lot in the New Adult genre and wanted to share her review of Hopeless.

There was either immense love (as Shelly has for it) or immense dislike. One person who really disliked this book is Brie from Romance Around the Corner. I encourage you Continue Reading
