Pride and Politics by Daisy Harris (Men of Holsum College #6) M/M Contemporary Released: August 25, 2012 Siren Reviewed by Helyce Hunter Ford comes from a well known and privileged family with a lot of political ties. He goes through his life taking and getting whatever he wants; his cocky persona oozing entitlement. When his uncle begins his campaign for vice-president, he tasks Hunter with coming along to be the face behind his “gay-friendly” tactic. It’s about the last thing Continue Reading
Review: Together for Christmas by Lisa Plumley
Together For Christmas by Lisa Plumley Released: October 2, 2012 Contemporary Romance Zebra Reviewed by May Kismet: a place that promised candlelit ice-skating sessions, and official Christmas parade, a fanciful holiday-light house tour, sleigh rides with genuine jingle bells, a Santa Claus-lookalike contest (in the town square, right next to the community’s fifty-foot decorated Noble fir tree), and a weekly cookie-decorating get together and jamboree. It was all so flipping wholesome Continue Reading
Review: My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron
My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron New Adult Contemporary Released: September 4, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi The New Adult genre is new to me. I believe it encompasses books with protagonists that are college aged. This appeals to me because we are past the high school age that is sometimes too young for me, and on to new sets of problems. 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
Review: Run the Risk by Lori Foster
Run The Risk by Lori Foster (Love Undercover #1) Contemporary Romance September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Helyce I am a big fan of Lori Foster’s writing style. Her contemporaries are always written with just the right amount of everything I enjoy to make the story grab me from the first page, so much so that I do not want to put it down. Run The Risk starts her new Love Undercover series and introduces us to the leading men who will each get a book. Logan Riske is undercover Continue Reading
Review: The Angel by Tiffany Reisz
The Angel by Tiffany Reisz (The Original Sinners #2) Erotic BDSM Romance Releases: September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi My Favorite Quote: “My confession begins,” Father S said, “as the confessions of many men begin – with three words.” “Father, forgive me?” Michael hazarded a guess. Father S sighed. “I met Eleanor.” A few months ago I read The Siren and at that point it was my favorite book so far this year. I found the writing to be so engaging and refreshing. The Continue Reading
Review: Gold Digger by Aleksandr Voinov
Gold Digger by Aleksandr Voinov M/M Contemporary, Novella Released: September 17, 2012 Riptide Reviewed by Mandi I’m a huge fan of Aleksandr Voinov’s Special Forces series. Huge, as in the two heroes, Dan and Vadim are two of my favorite guys. It is super emotional, angsty, violent, and just pure torture to read. And I love to be tortured when I read. So when I heard the author was coming out with a novella featuring Vadim’s son, I became very excited. Nikolai Krasnorada works Continue Reading
Review: The Space Between Us by Megan Hart
The Space Between Us by Megan Hart Erotic Contemporary Releases: September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi I think Megan Hart is an excellent erotic story teller. I have read Broken, Dirty, Tempted and Stranger and pretty much loved each book. She challenges me as a reader and makes me stretch my boundaries. Her endings are rocky HEA’s at best (although that is one of the things I love about her books), and the ending of The Space Between Us to me is very sad. The prologue Continue Reading
