Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield Released: June 11, 2018 Erotic Romance Self Publishe Reviewed by Mandi I've loved Tessa Bailey since her first book - and I just discovered Eve Dangerfield last year and I really like her voice. So when I saw these two were pairing up to write a book, I squeaked. And when I read this line: "Unzip my pants and greet your new keeper.” I giggled!!! Oh dirty, dirty fun. I love the set-up in this one. Autumn is from Australia and moves to Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts – Believe The Kiss Quotient Hype!
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Contemporary Romance Release date: June 5, 2018 There is a lot of buzz around the release of The Kiss Quotient and in my opinion, it’s well deserved. I was so excited to have the opportunity to read an early copy of this very much-anticipated debut novel by Helen Hoang. I flew through the first read and then picked it up again a few weeks later to read slower and absorb it. I struggle with reviews for books I love. I worry about saying too much, so I Continue Reading

The One You Can't Forget by Roni Loren Series: The One's Who Got Away, #2 Contemporary Romance Released:June 5, 2018 Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: “You normally talk to strangers about their hypothetical underwear?” “Don’t you?” His smile was playful. “You can learn a lot about a person that way.” “Oh really? What do yours say about you?” The question was out before she could stop herself. “Hmm.” He peeked down and apparently reached for the waistband of his jeans to check. “That Continue Reading
Mandi’s Monday Musings: Jo Goodman and Helena Hunting
A Touch of Flame by Jo Goodman Releases: June 5, 2018 Western Historical I loved this book. It's not the fastest paced, or the sexiest but it completely worked for me. Our hero is Ben Madison, who is the newly elected sheriff of Frost Falls, Colorado. Taking place in 1898, Ben is the most easy-going, never-to-get-riled hero I've read. That doesn't mean he is stupid or doesn't care, he just likes to observe and play along real nice with the folks, to keep everyone peaceful and happy. He puts Continue Reading

Sheena’s Mini Reviews
Series: The MacGregors: Highland Heirs, #7 Historical Romance Grade: A Whenever I get a hankering for a beautifully written historical romance, I look no further than Paula Quinn. She just has a knack for creating these beautiful worlds with rich characters all against the picturesque Scottish highlands, I'm always, already mid swoon as soon as I crack (click?) it open. Book 7 is about Lachlin Mackenzie, a (scarred!! swoon level +1000) widower and father to a wife and daughter who were Continue Reading
Review: Making Up by Lucy Parker
Making Up by Lucy Parker (London Celebrities #3) Released: May 28, 2018 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I highly recommend this author if you have yet to try her. This is the third book I've read by her and they have all been adorable and sweet and sexy. In Making Up, we return to the theater, but in a burlesque/acrobatic show. The Festival of Masks is a little bit of everything - lewd humor, amazing aerial skills, singing, dancing and it's a very popular show. When Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Sin and Tonic by Rhys Ford (Sinners #6 - series finale) MM Romance May 15, 2018 Dreamspinner Press I have had a soft spot for Miki St. John from the beginning of this series. One of the most tragic and angst ridden characters I’ve read to date, this poor kid, found wandering in an alley at the age of 3, placed in the foster system for a time, somehow gets placed with a guy at the age of 12 who sexually abuses him and also prostitutes him out to other men. He survives years of this abuse Continue Reading
Review: Something Blue by Lena Hart
Something Blue by Lena Hart Series: Brides of Cedar Bend, #4 Contemporary Romance Released: March 31, 2018 Maroon Ash Publishing Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: “You are my priority, Quinn. You always were. Even when I didn’t show it.” Tears welled in her eyes and he was taken aback by it. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d seen her cry and he didn’t think he could handle it if she did because of him. All he ever wanted was to be with her and make her Continue Reading
