Review: Let it Snow by Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque
Let it Snow by Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque Contemporary Romance (except for the alien prince part) Released: November 13, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by May I wanted to love this book going in - in fact I was expecting to! Unfortunately, whether I look at these stories individually or together, I can’t recommend this book. Neither story captured my fancy, and if it is wonderful Christmas inspired romance you want, you won’t find it here. The key problem I believe, is that the Continue Reading
Review: The Prince by Tiffany Reisz
The Prince by Tiffany Reisz (The Original Sinners #3) Erotic Contemporary Releases: November 20, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi The Prince is book three of the Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz. A continuing story that revolves around writer and retired dominatrix Nora Sutherland. At the end of The Angel, Nora ran from Søren into the arms of her beloved, virginal Wes. This broke my heart, as I went from fearing/hating Søren in book one, to falling in love with his Continue Reading

What they have in common is that this holiday season – all their exes will be making appearances in their lives. Cass: a divorced mama of grown (or nearly so) children.

Review: Run the Risk by Lori Foster
Run The Risk by Lori Foster (Love Undercover #1) Contemporary Romance September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Helyce I am a big fan of Lori Foster’s writing style. Her contemporaries are always written with just the right amount of everything I enjoy to make the story grab me from the first page, so much so that I do not want to put it down. Run The Risk starts her new Love Undercover series and introduces us to the leading men who will each get a book. Logan Riske is undercover Continue Reading
Review: The Angel by Tiffany Reisz
The Angel by Tiffany Reisz (The Original Sinners #2) Erotic BDSM Romance Releases: September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi My Favorite Quote: “My confession begins,” Father S said, “as the confessions of many men begin – with three words.” “Father, forgive me?” Michael hazarded a guess. Father S sighed. “I met Eleanor.” A few months ago I read The Siren and at that point it was my favorite book so far this year. I found the writing to be so engaging and refreshing. The Continue Reading
Review: The Space Between Us by Megan Hart
The Space Between Us by Megan Hart Erotic Contemporary Releases: September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi I think Megan Hart is an excellent erotic story teller. I have read Broken, Dirty, Tempted and Stranger and pretty much loved each book. She challenges me as a reader and makes me stretch my boundaries. Her endings are rocky HEA’s at best (although that is one of the things I love about her books), and the ending of The Space Between Us to me is very sad. The prologue Continue Reading
