Review: Absolve Me by Morgaine Cameron
Absolve Me by Morgaine Cameron BDSM Released: March 20, 2017 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I like the taboo nature of priest romance books (I recommend you check out Amber Belldene's series) and this one throws in a few extra kinks. Liza is a sex therapist/surrogate. I had never heard of a sex surrogate before this book, and I learned that in some cases she actually has sex with her clients to help them through issues they may be having. She can also help couples who are having Continue Reading

Review: What it Takes by Shannon Stacey
What it Takes by Shannon Stacey (Kowalski Family #10) Released: February 28, 2017 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I've really enjoyed the Kowalski series over the years. I've not read the entire series, but several, especially those in the beginning. It's a nice contemporary series - it makes me laugh, and the heroes and heroines are nice and a little dirty. A good combination. This book has a stand alone romance but is also a reunion book. We meet Laney, whose Continue Reading

Review: A Limited Engagement by Bethany Michaels
A Limited Engagement by Bethany Michaels (Limitless Love #1) Contemporary Romance March 13, 2017 Entangled Publishing, LLC Reviewed by Helyce I am a big fan of the “crushing on my best friend’s brother” theme; add in the fact said brother is a sexy race car driver and I’m sold.

Review: More Than Luck by Casey Cameron
More Than Luck by Casey Cameron (Legendary Pairs #2) Released: February 8, 2017 M/M Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I read the first book in this series recently (both stand alones) and I liked it but the romance was pretty rushed. More Than Luck worked sooo much better for me. I enjoyed it so much. This series is centered around a very popular card game called Legendary Pairs. It's very LBGTQ friendly, there are very big and small tournaments and some people make a Continue Reading
