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

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.

His father is very much involved in the business side of racing, but Derek is Continue Reading

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

Review: Buyout by Dev Bentham
Buyout by Dev Bentham Released: February 8, 2017 M/M Contemporary Novella Dreamspinner Reviewed by Mandi I've read a lot of Dev Bentham over the years and I love that each of her stories is so different - set in so many different places. Buyout takes place in Lisbon with two guys I liked - but the problem with this story is that it is way too short. Everything felt rushed and that frustrated me. Sean is a financial guy working for a greedy boss who loves to find failing hotels, offer Continue Reading
Review: Clean Breaks by Ruby Lang
Clean Breaks by Ruby Lang Released: February 20, 2017 Contemporary Romance Crimson Romance Reviewed by Mandi I'm a huge fan of Ruby Lang - her characters are smart and flawed and her friendships come across very real. I think I've mentioned this in previous reviews, but the girl friendships in this book are not all cupcakes and wine. They challenge each other, and have attitudes and reflect what I feel like is a true friendship. All that being said, this is the first time I'm going Continue Reading
