Review: Brown-Eyed Girl by Lisa Kleypas

August 7, 2015 by Mandi 6 Comments

Brown-Eyed Girl by Lisa Kleypas (Travis Family #4) Releases: August 11, 2015 Contemporary Romance St. Martin's Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Lowering his head, Joe murmured, "You're not in charge. I am." I went still. For some reason, hearing those soft words while he was pinning me down like that sent a deep, deranged thrill through me. His voice curled hotly in my ear. "You belong to me, and I'm going to have you. Here and now." Oh  Joe Travis. We've waited a very, very long Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten-June 1st

June 1, 2012 by Tori 57 Comments

Mandi is at the Lori Foster Event this weekend so today’s top ten is mine. All mine!!! Bawahahahaha. *clears throat*   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw7gNf_9njs 10. I love this song and video. Everytime I hear it, it makes me laugh out loud and sing at the top of my voice. In fact, I’m going to find a guy named Earl and sing it to him in NOLA for the AAD convention. ‘Cause that’s just how I roll.     9. Who doesn’t like Legos? If you say, “ME!!!” then your a lying Continue Reading

Review: Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas

March 9, 2012 by Mandi 23 Comments

Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas Contemporary Romance (with magical element) February 28, 2012 St. Martin’s Reviewed by Mandi I’m relatively new to Lisa Kleypas contemporaries. I’m a huge fan of her historicals and decided to try Smooth Talking Stranger this year on audio. I ended up loving it, and still plan to read the other two in that series. But I didn’t want to let this new contemporary pass me by. I was hesitant though for one main reason – magic. I don’t like magic in my Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–December 9th

December 9, 2011 by Mandi 49 Comments

10. The Christmas tree is up and hubs and I didn’t even threaten to divorce each other once! Getting the tree to stand upright without falling over in the stand is probably the most stressful 30 minutes of our marriage every year. It also helped that I spiked hubs eggnog prior to doing the tree. The holidays are in full swing. 9. This week I finished up the Florida series by KA Mitchell. I really enjoyed all three books. As I said last week, they are heavy on the sex but I think they show Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–November 11th

November 11, 2011 by Mandi 43 Comments

10. Earlier in the week, a deer hunter fell out of a tree at the end of my street (my street dead-ends at a big wooded area. Also, I live in redneckville). Four fire trucks, three ambulances, police and the medevac helicopter all came. I guess he had a phone, and was able to call 9-1-1. It was dramatic, especially watching the helicopter try to land in this small field on my street. I have no idea how hurt the hunter was, I hope he is okay. My little street can’t handle that type of chaos! Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–July 22nd

July 22, 2011 by Mandi 41 Comments

10. My week – It is something like 110 degrees out. I think the low for Baltimore last night barely made it out of the 90’s. Yeah, not cool Mother Nature.   9. Great news for Stacia Kane fans – she announced on her blog that there will be a fifth book in her Downside series. Book four, Sacrificial Magic is scheduled to come out March 27th. (Read chp one here).  Book five will be called Chasing Magic. If you haven’t read this series I definitely recommend. Book one, Unholy Ghosts is Continue Reading

Help Me Pick a Contemporary Romance Contest!!

June 9, 2009 by Mandi 28 Comments

If you dig through my blog, you will notice I never talk about contemporary romances - that is because I never read them! I love paranormals, historicals, urban fantasy, I'm even adding young adult into the mix now, I just never pick up a contemporary. I have been trying to think why that is and the only reason I can come up with is that they do not provide enough escapism for me. In a paranormal or urban fantasy, there are creatures roaming about that create a unique world. In a historical it Continue Reading

I Like Alpha Males and I’m OK With That

May 7, 2009 by Mandi 20 Comments

I finished Club Dead by Charlaine Harris last night. It is the third in the Southern Vampire Mysteries (aka - Sookie Stackhouse books).The reason I started reading this book is because True Blood on HBO starts next month and I really would rather read a book before I see it on television or in a movie. I really enjoyed the book which surprised me. It possibly should not have surprised me since I liked the first two books in the series (which I read a long time ago). However, **SHALLOW ALERT** I Continue Reading

Quick Lisa Kleypas Note

April 15, 2009 by Mandi

Lisa Kleypas has a new interview up with BordersMedia talking about her latest book Smooth Talking Strangers. This is a contemporary romance of hers. I have yet to read one...I have Blue-Eyed Devil in my tbr pile. I LOVE her historical romances, especially the Wallflowers and her latest series, the Hathaways. Seduce Me At Sunrise, the second in the Hathaway series has just been nominated for a RITA and is one of my favorite books. I really loved Kev and Win - when he came and "kidnapped" her Continue Reading
