Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Beards & Bondage #1) Released: April 26, 2017 BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi How can I pass up a series titled, Beards & Bondage?? What I liked most about this story is while it is erotic, and there is a beard, and there is some bondage, their courtship is presented so well. And the trauma and recovery the heroine goes through in this book felt so realistic. Claudia is from the city but goes on a camping trip with her brother but they run Continue Reading
Review: Lost Rider by Harper Sloan
Lost Rider by Harper Sloan (Coming Home #1) Released: April 25, 2017 Contemporary Romance Pocket Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Are you drunk, baby?" Maverick smirks at me. I nod. "You want to keep getting drunk or go home?" "That depends," I whisper huskily, crooking my finger so he'll bend closer to me. "Do I get to ride my cowboy in both scenarios or only one?" I've never read Harper Sloan (I plan to hit her back list hard after this one) and when I saw in the blurb Continue Reading
Review: By the Hour by Roni Loren
By the Hour by Roni Loren Series: Pleasure Principle, 2 Contemporary Romance Released: April 25, 2017 Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "She held in the moan that threatened. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. His soft laugh brushed against her ear as he found her swollen clit. “Now, now, that’s not a game you can win, so don’t bother trying. You won’t be quiet for me.” I decided to abandon the compulsion to accost strangers on the street and shriek about why they are seriously Continue Reading

Review: The VIP Doubles Down by Nancy Herkness
The VIP Doubles Down by Nancy Herkness (Wager of Hearts #3) Released: April 18, 2017 Contemporary Romance Montlake Romance Reviewed by Mandi This is book three of the series centered around a group of three male friends who make bets about whether they will find true love. This is the first I've read of the series and it stood alone well. The bet thankfully didn't play too much into this story - I don't like it when there is a bet, which leads to a relationship, and the eventually the Continue Reading

Review: The Thing About Love by Julie James
The Thing About Love by Julie James (FBI/US Attorney #7) Released: April 18, 2017 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi First I have to say, what is up with this cover? At first glance, or from far away, it looks bloody! But it's a broken lollipop? Not my favorite cover, and not my favorite book by Julie James. She writes meticulously detailed FBI agents - you can tell she puts hours, and hours of research into her stories. Some books, an author just slaps on the title of FBI Continue Reading
