Review: The Darkest Day By Britt Bury
The Darkest Day by Britt Bury (Immortal Heat #1) Paranormal Romance July 3, 2012 Forever Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I do no’ need you anyhow.” “Oh no?” She looked down his body. “That thing tenting your pants just called you a liar.” The Darkest Day is the start of a new paranormal series I’m pretty excited about. My initial thought while reading is how it has a Kresley Cole vibe to it. I like to call it, ‘Immortals After Dark – Lite.’ Not quite as violent, not quite as Continue Reading
Review: Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt
Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt (Maiden Lane #4) Historical Romance June 26, 2012 Hachette Reviewed by Mandi I just had a love affair with Winter Makepeace. OK, so maybe the heroine actually won his heart, but he is definitely going on my fictional boyfriend list. I adore this series and have been eagerly anticipating this book, as we've had hints about Winter through the past few stories. This one did not disappoint. By all accounts, Winter Makepeace is a serious, dour man who Continue Reading

At Last by Jill Shalvis (Lucky Harbor #5) Contemporary Romance June 26, 2012 Hachette Reviewed by Mandi At Last is book five in the Lucky Harbor series, but it is really book two of three in this second set of trilogies.

Review: Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis
Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis (Lucky Harbor #4) May 22, 2012 Contemporary Romance Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoy the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis.

Review: Barefoot in the Sand by Roxanne St. Claire
Barefoot in the Sand by Roxanne St. Clair (Barefoot Bay #1) Contemporary Romance May 1, 2012 Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “How’d it go with the big stud? That’s an architectural term, you know.” I believe this book is the first foray into contemporary romance for Roxanne St. Claire. I saw Nicole tweet that this book has a very "Ford-esque” (Ford from Jill Shalvis’s Lucky Harbor series) feel, and when someone compares a book to my beloved Ford, I pay Continue Reading
