Tigerland by Sean Kennedy (Tigers & Devils #2) Contemporary M/M Released: October 15, 2012 Dreamspinner Reviewed by Mandi Tigers & Devils is one of my all time favorite books (you can read my review here). Simon is one of the most cynical and warm characters I’ve met. When he falls in love with the very famous Australia football star, Declan, their relationship in that book was sweet, although strained as they made their way through intense public scrutiny. Declan Continue Reading
Review: One Small Thing by Piper Vaughn and M.J. O’Shea
One Small Thing by Piper Vaughn and M.J. O’Shea Contemporary M/M Romance May 4, 2012 Dreamspinner Press Reviewed by Mandi Based on the blurb and cover (the feet creep me out) for One Small Thing, I don’t think I would have ever picked it up on my own. But there is this thing called Twitter (have you heard of it?) where people recommend books to me every day (that’s the sound of my credit card weeping). Brie from Romance Around the Corner (also a fab person to follow on twitter) Continue Reading
Review: Armed & Dangerous by Abigail Roux
Armed & Dangerous by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #5) M/M Romantic Suspense May 18, 2012 Dreamspinner Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Glock, paper, scissors. I win. Before I get into this review, let me first say it might not be the most objective review ever. I love this series. Ty and Zane are two of my favorite characters ever. I could read about them sitting on the couch and probably love the book. Of course that being said, there is something about the writing in Continue Reading

Chase In Shadow by Amy Lane M/M Romance February 24, 2012 Dreamspinner Press Reviewed by Helyce This story begins with Chase at a monumental turning point in his life: Live or Die.

Review: Counterpoint: Dylan’s Story by Ruth Sims
Counterpoint: Dylan’s Story by Ruth Sims M/M Romance July 12, 2010 Dreamspinner Press Reviewed by Mandi This book really surprised me. This is the first I’ve read of Ruth Sims, and honestly chose to review it because I don’t find a lot of historical LBGT romance, and thought, sure why not. What this book turns out to be is a romance, but also one man’s journey of discovery of life. Of how grand notions of life when you are 18 and think nothing is going to stop you, turn to what reality Continue Reading

Hyun-Shik Kim was leading a double life. In one, he is Continue Reading
Review: Zero at the Bone by Jane Seville
Zero at the Bone by Jane Seville April 2009 M/M Romantic Suspense E-Book/Print , 308 Pages Dreamspinner Press Reviewed by Mandi Why I read: It made the final four of the Dabwaha tournament, and when it beat The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie, I put down everything and read it. Favorite Quote: Jack stood there paralyzed. “Say it again,” he whispered. D cupped his cheek and lifted his head to meet his eyes. “I’ll find you,” he said, low and implacable. Dr. Jack Francisco stops Continue Reading
