Review: Hear Me by Skye Warren
Hear Me by Skye Warren (Dark Erotica #3) Erotic Novella Released: September 15, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read Trust in Me (I can’t remember who rec’d it to me, but someone did and thank you!) self published by Skye Warren. I liked its really dark erotic content. When she offered me her latest, Hear Me for review, I grabbed it. However, Hear Me is even more extreme in its dark content and I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it. First let me Continue Reading

Review: Offside by Juliana Stone
Series: Barker Triplets #1 Released: October 1, 2012 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a contemporary romance with a hockey hero and Logan Forest is a pretty good hockey player in this book. But when I found very intriguing when I heard about this book, is that Billie Jo, the heroine, is the true hockey star. Billie Jo was so good at hockey, she left her small town and moved to Sweden to play on a professional men’s team that allowed women to play as Continue Reading

It was all so flipping wholesome Continue Reading
Review: My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron

My Favorite Mistake starts with Taylor Caldwell in her sophomore year. She has two good friends she is sharing a quad dorm Continue Reading
Review: Fields of Gold by Dev Bentham
Fields of Gold by Dev Bentham (Tarnished Souls #2) Contemporary M/M Released: September 11, 2012 LooseID Reviewed by Mandi I never know what to expect when I read a book by Dev Bentham. I first read Moving in Rhythm and adored it. Then I tried Learning From Isaac and found it boring and didn’t finish it. August Ice was okay, so I really didn’t know what to expect from Fields of Gold. Avi Rosen is working on his dissertation involving history and politics. He has been writing Continue Reading
Review: Deep Desires by Charlotte Stein
Deep Desires by Charlotte Stein Erotic Contemporary, Novella Released: September 27, 2012 Harper Collins Reviewed by Mandi I think Charlotte Stein has one of the best voices in erotic romance. I always find her heroines so intriguing, so sexually curious, teasing and flirty, and many times they take the reins and show the hero what can be between them. This book is darker though and I really like it. Abbie works as a grocery store clerk and lives in an apartment building called Continue Reading
