Squared Away by Annabeth Albert (Out of Uniform #5) Released: April 16, 2018 Contemporary M/M Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Guys - I've never read Annabeth Albert. What the heck, self??? I think a publicist reached out about this book asking for a guest post, and when I read the blurb I thought - ooooh, I'll give this one a try. And I ended up really enjoying this author's voice. She gives us Isaiah, biracial, and younger than Mark. And Mark, a Navy SEAL who working out his Continue Reading
Review: Jagged by Lauren Dane
Jagged by Lauren Dane Whiskey Sharp #2 Publication Date: March 27, 2018 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Kini I read and reviewed the first book in this series, Unraveled, earlier this year and didn’t care for it. But I was very curious about Rachel's story. She was an interesting character in the first book. I was cautiously optimistic about this book and thought I would give it a try. I was quickly disappointed. I ended up not getting very far in the book. And here’s Continue Reading

I read her Middle of Somewhere series and fell in love with the characters there. I didn’t even know she’d Continue Reading

Sure, he gets to hang out with his famous brother, travel the world, party like a rockstar, and enjoy all the other perks that lifestyle would bring. But the Continue Reading
Review: In the Eye of the Storm/Catering to the CEO by Samantha Chase
In the Eye of the Storm/Catering to the CEO by Samantha Chase Contemporary Romance Released: April 3, 2018 Sourcebooks Casablanca Reviewed by Sheena In the Eye of the Storm A Samantha Chase novel is a pretty good bet, so I was excited to see this two-in-one deal. Chase promises sweet and angsty romance and though the door is typically closed during the sexy times, the romantic tension and story telling usually balances the lack of "whoa baby, come to mama! *bites fist*" just fine. Continue Reading
Review: Cheeky Royal by Nana Malone
Cheeky Royal by Nana Malone (Royals Undercover #1) Released: April 2, 2018 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm all about the royals these days and when I read this blurb, what stood out to me is the heroine is in charge of guarding the royals (aka the hero). This is a really cute, super sexy story and I definitely recommend it. But let me also tell you that it's part one of a two-book series and it ends in a cliffhanger. The second book, Cheeky King, comes out Continue Reading
