Feature and Giveaway – The Dare and the Doctor by Kate Noble

November 22, 2016 by Mandi 22 Comments

“With her usual witty writing and exquisite flair for characterization, Noble offers [The Lie and the Lady]. The effortless manner in which she wrote. The Lie and the Lady as a separate love story while at the same time gracefully connecting it to The Game and the Governess and cleverly hinting at what is to come in the series is nothing less than brilliant.” —Booklist (STARRED REVIEW, The Lie and the Lady)   Dr. Rhys Gray and Miss Margaret Babcock are friends—strictly friends. But Continue Reading

Review: Let It Be Me by Kate Noble

April 4, 2013 by Mandi 4 Comments

Let it be Me by Kate Noble April 2, 2013 Historical Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I’m a big fan of Kate Noble’s books, and Let It Be Me brings in a fresh, sweet, romance book set it Venice. Bridget has great talent playing the piano although now she struggles with an acute case of stage fright. Nonetheless, music is in her blood, and the piano is her passion. Years ago she impressed Italian composer Vincenzo Carpenini when he visited at her parents house. In present day, Continue Reading

Review: If I Fall by Kate Noble

April 12, 2012 by Mandi 4 Comments

If I Fall by Kate Noble (The Blue Raven #4) Historical Romance April 3, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I'm a really big fan of Kate Noble's books and highly anticipate each one. In her previous book, Follow My Lead, we briefly met Sarah Forrester, and she made quite an impact on me. I think I even mentioned in my review that I was hoping she would be a heroine. Well, my wish was granted. When we meet poor Sarah in this book, she is quite depressed. Engaged to the Duke of Rayne, she is very Continue Reading

March 9, 2012 by Mandi 22 Comments

10. This is my “fun read” this week, St. Nacho’s by ZA Maxfield. I think the only other story I’ve read by her is her short in a Carina Press holiday anthology (which I liked). I met her at AAD last year she is a lot of fun. I’m excited to finally be starting this book. Any other ZA Maxfield recs? 9.Cute picture for a shirt, yes? This and many other book related products can be found at a site called, Gone Reading. In their words: Gone Reading International LLC, a philanthropic enterprise Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–October 7th

October 7, 2011 by Mandi 49 Comments

10. My Week – I decorated for Halloween! Are we getting ready? Do all the kids have costumes picked out? I have a seven year old who is obsessed with scary things and a five year old who cries if there is a mean looking pumpkin. I can’t win. I did buy a plastic hand that crawls across the floor. I may have scarred my five year old for life. We’ll see. 9. Fun news! USA Today has started a romance blog, Happy Ever After. It went live yesterday afternoon. I was asked to be a part of it and I Continue Reading

Kate Noble is back to chat about her newest release Follow My Lead!   Tell us a little about your fourth book, Follow My Lead. Hi Mandi! Thank you so much for having me on the blog – I love it here. It’s like home. A naughty, naughty home. Follow My Lead is the story of Jason Cummings, Duke of Rayne – last seen being irresponsible in The Summer of You. Well, he’s grown into his responsibilities since inheriting his title. As such, he’s intent upon marriage – because “it’s what’s next.” Continue Reading

Review: Follow My Lead by Kate Noble

May 5, 2011 by Mandi 8 Comments

Follow My Lead by Kate Noble Historical Romance May 3, 2011 Paperback Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: So. This is hell, Jason thought. A garden party, being backed into a corner by three of the most baldly opportunistic furies to have been formed in the British system of wealth and aristocracy. Who knew? Jason Cummings (who has red hair, swoon), Duke of Rayne is 30 and ready to get married, because well, that is what one does when one turns 30. Being a very wealthy Duke Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – December 3rd

December 3, 2010 by Mandi 26 Comments

10. You guys! I took the above picture! That’s right…I was about ten feet away from Brandon Flowers Saturday night in Atlantic City. Yes, I made hubs stand in line for five hours. No, I did not throw my unmentionables at him. No, I did not shout “You are a smexy beast.” Hubs was standing right next to me. It was an awesome show – even hubs, very begrudgingly said he liked it. The San Diego band Transfer opened for him and Hubs actually loved their stuff. It was good times. Hubs lost hard on the Continue Reading
