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.

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.

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. Derek’s career in racing started when he was young, and as he’d proven himself a winning driver, he rose up through the ranks. His father is very much involved in the business side of racing, but Derek is Continue Reading
