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

Review: Pretty Face by Lucy Parker
Pretty Face by Lucy Parker (London Celebrities #2) Released: February 20, 2017 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I fell completely in love with Lucy Parker's first book, Act Like it. Taking us back to the West End and the theater community with a hero who is a curmudgeon (at least to start) and a heroine who is on a popular yet trashy television show, and the tabloids have a field day with her character.

Review: Rough & Tumble by Rhenna Morgan
Rough & Tumble by Rhenna Morgan (Haven Brotherhood #1) Released: February 20, 2017 Contemporary/Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi This book had all the workings to be a cracky read - over the top hero who is dripping with alpha sweat, a do-gooder heroine and a brotherhood of men who have reputations of being from the wrong side of the tracks, but are actually really good dudes. But by the end of this one I felt like it was too over the top. These guys are not ones to be found Continue Reading
