The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood (The Rule Breakers #2) Released: January 16, 2017 Contemporary Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi I adored The Rule Book last year and was excited to try another from Jennifer Blackwood. This one is just as good - maybe even better. And just to put out there - there are sex scenes this time! I know a few people who didn't read the first book due to fade to black scenes. That book had such great sexual tension it was a bit of a let down to have the Continue Reading
Review: Wild Kisses by Skye Jordan
Wild Kisses by Skye Jordan Series: Wildwood, #2 Contemporary Romance Released: January 10, 2017 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: “I still feel like I’m in a dream. All anxious that I’m going to wake up and I’m still going to be fighting to reach this dream.” You can't keep a good gal down! It has been a while since I've enjoyed a heroine like Avery. Initially coming off as quiet and meek and ripe for being taken advantage of, I was concerned that her personality would be Continue Reading
Review: Perfect Game by Casey Cameron
Perfect Game by Casey Cameron (Legendary Pairs #1) Released: January 1, 2017 M/M Contemporary Novella Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a nerdy romance and this fit the bill quite nicely. Neil is an awkward guy - a research biologist getting his PhD, living in a new city has Neil a little lonely. One thing that gets him out of the house is playing in Legendary Pairs tournaments. Legendary Pairs is a fast-paced card game - I don't know what I can compare it to - but it features Continue Reading

Review: Fearless by Lauren Gilley
Fearless by Lauren Gilley (Dartmoor #1) Released: January 2015 Motorcycle Club Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I wanted to be special to you." "Fillette, you were always that.” It's been a while since I've read a big, epic book and throw on top of it the fact that this book is a motorcycle club romance - something that has been missing from my life recently, and I was set to snuggle in and be drawn into the world of the Lean Dogs.

Joint Review: On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton
On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton (Wild Aces #3) Released: January 3, 2017 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Kini and Mandi Kini: I read Fly with Me, book one in the series, earlier this year. It was a middle of the road read for me, except for the relationship between Dani and Easy. I LOVE the trope where one character loves the other from afar, but doesn’t/can’t make a move. Because I am a horrible person, I felt okay about the circumstances that allowed for Dani and Continue Reading

Review: Getting Inside by Serena Bell
Getting Inside by Serena Bell (Seattle Grizzlies #1) Released: January 3, 2017 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi Full disclosure - I've tried Serena Bell in the past (not recently) and she never worked well for me. But I guess because it's been some time since I've tried her and this is the new start to a football series, I tried her again. The first half was a struggle for me, but the second half worked better. Iona has accepted a coaching position in the Pro Football Continue Reading
