Review: Four Friends by Robyn Carr
Four Friends by Robyn Carr Contemporary Romance March 25, 2014 Harlequin Reviewed by Helyce Warning: there is infidelity in this book. It affects two of the woman featured. There is also drug abuse and domestic violence-though that’s told in the form of memories. If you are uncomfortable with any these things, this story may not be for you. In Four Friends, we meet four, everyday- but no less extraordinary women who live in the affluent town of Mill Valley, California. Some are Continue Reading

Review: His Abductor’s Desire by Harper St. George
His Abductor's Desire by Harper St. George Released: March 1, 2014 Western Historical Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi I accepted this review request because this is a debut author and the premise of an "heiress-turned-outlaw" really appealed to me. While I liked the heroine and I think this author has a good writing style, this book suffers from lack of pages. It's way too short for the reader to become invested in what could have been a really fun story. Charity is an heiress from Continue Reading

Review: Still So Hot! by Serena Bell
Still so Hot! by Serena Bell Released: December 17, 2013 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi What struck me initially about this book was the set-up and my dislike of it. Elisa is a dating coach, owning her own business which is still getting off the ground. She not only plays matchmaker but she really spends a lot of time with her clients to point out what they do right and wrong when it comes to love. She finally lands a Hollywood client, an up and coming actress Continue Reading
Review: Snow Day by Shannon Stacey, Jennifer Greene, and Barbara Dunlop
Snow Day by Shannon Stacey, Jennifer Greene, Barbara Dunlop Released: December 1, 2013 Holiday Romance Harlequin Reviewed by May This book has three stories, told by three different authors, but all take place over the same few days during a massive storm in Tucker’s Point, Maine. Overall I wish that the stories had been turned more into a cohesive novel or that the points of view overlapped more smoothly than they do here, but it is still a nice effort. Want to see three couples Continue Reading
Review: Ripped by Sarah Morgan
Ripped by Sarah Morgan (Miller Sisters #1) Released: November 26, 2013 Contemporary Novella Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Buttons skittered and bounced over the pale wooden floor, but I was too busy looking at the smooth, powerful contours of his chest through the shadowing of dark hair. Oh, Santa, Santa, what have you brought me this year…. Man I love this book. It’s a quick read but has a perfect blend of sexual tension, laugh out loud scenes and romance. Continue Reading
