Rewritten by Bronwyn Green (Bound #8) Released: September 27, 2017 Contemporary/BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This one had its ups and downs for me. For the most part I enjoyed it, but it did have a little slower beginning and a rushed ending - and I wasn't super into the BDSM aspect of it. But the hero and heroine are cute together. Angus is a Scottish popular sci-fi author who has a hit a rut. A big rut. He was going to end his series, but then was offered a bunch of money Continue Reading
Review: Ready for Wild by Liora Blake
Ready for Wild by Liora Blake (Grand Valley #3) Released: October 31, 2017 Contemporary Romance Gallery Books Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and picked this one up without even reading the blurb. Had I read the blurb, I may not have proceeded: Blurb: Braden Montgomery is certain about three things: one, luck is for suckers; two, time spent outdoors is what keeps him sane; and, three, when it comes to sharing his bed, there’s only one female he’s Continue Reading
Review: The Proposition by Elizabeth Hayley
The Proposition by Elizabeth Hayley The Players #2 Contemporary Romance October 31, 2017 Swerve Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: This kiss was a promise— a promise that there could be more. That their story didn’t have to only be about a hockey player and an escort. It could be about Ben and Ryan. And that would be more than enough. It would, in fact, be everything. The blurb for this book got me with its description of a fake romance, one of my favorite tropes. Also at first glance Continue Reading
Review: Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates (Copper Ridge #10) Contemporary Romance Released: October 24, 2017 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Honey, I only know how to be inappropriate. And I think you like that about me." I'll start every Maisey Yates review by saying she is my go-to comfort read author. The story arcs and the set-up all might be a little similar, but I like it. I know what I'm going to get with a Yates book. Her heroes seem to be always a little gruff - Continue Reading

Review: Follow by Tessa Bailey
Follow by Tessa Bailey Released: October 30, 2017 Erotic Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi In general, I love Tessa Bailey books. This is her first venture into self pubbing and I say, give it all to me! But this was a time that one of her books did not work for me. The quick set-up - Teresa is our heroine and growing up her dad was involved with mobsters/crime lord - he eventually gets out of that life and heads west with his family, but unfortunately for Teresa, now as Continue Reading

Review: His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras
His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras Matched to Perfection #1 Contemporary Romance September 26, 2017 Zebra Shout Reviewed by Kini I was a little worried about reading two dance related books so close together, and although they share several common things like Latinx author, Latinx characters, and dancing, they are very different. Yazmine, our heroine, has been a dancer since she was a young girl. She went to New York after high school and was working in the industry but left Continue Reading
Review: Take the Lead by Alexis Daria
Take the Lead by Alexis Daria Dance Off #1 Contemporary Romance October 3, 2017 Swerve Reviewed by Kini This is basically a romance novel set in a fictional version of Dancing with the Stars. I watch the show with some regularity, so I was pretty interested in this book. It also features a Latinx heroine by a Latinx author, doubling my interest. Gina is a pro dancer on “The Dance Off” and really wants a strong partner to help her to the championship and ultimately win the show. She Continue Reading

His late husband was quiet, and serious and together they never made any drama - which is how the big guns at the top of the NFL chain like to keep it when it comes to handling gay Continue Reading
