How to Bang a Billionaire (Arden St. Ives #1) Publication Date: April 16, 2017 M/M New Adult/BDSM Forever Romance Reviewed by Kini Rules are made to be broken... If England had yearbooks, I'd probably be "Arden St. Ives: Man Least Likely to Set the World on Fire." So far, I haven't. I've no idea what I'm doing at Oxford, no idea what I'm going to do next and, until a week ago, I had no idea who Caspian Hart was. Turns out, he's brilliant, beautiful . . . oh yeah, and a Continue Reading

Review: Single Malt by Layla Reyne
Single Malt by Layla Reyne (Agents Irish and Whiskey #1) Released: Febuary 27, 2017 M/M Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi What drew me into this book is that both heroes are FBI agents and one is nicknamed Irish and the other Whiskey - I love that. I also love m/m FBI stories (hello Ty and Zane!) This was an okay read but I found my attention wandering in the second half. Let me also state up front that it ends in a bit of a cliffhanger. The relationship is progressing Continue Reading
Review: An Unseen Attraction by K.J. Charles
An Unseen Attraction by K.J Charles (Sins of the Cities #1) Released: February 21, 2017 Historical M/M Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi What a cute and lovely story. As someone on Twitter said, it's a gentle romance, and that's a great way to describe it. We have two beta heroes in love, but stand up for each other when it counts. Clem Talleyfer is a lodging-house keeper, meaning he is in charge of a houseful of tenants - keeping them locked up safe at night, and making sure his Continue Reading
Review: More Than Luck by Casey Cameron
More Than Luck by Casey Cameron (Legendary Pairs #2) Released: February 8, 2017 M/M Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I read the first book in this series recently (both stand alones) and I liked it but the romance was pretty rushed. More Than Luck worked sooo much better for me. I enjoyed it so much. This series is centered around a very popular card game called Legendary Pairs. It's very LBGTQ friendly, there are very big and small tournaments and some people make a Continue Reading
Review: Buyout by Dev Bentham
Buyout by Dev Bentham Released: February 8, 2017 M/M Contemporary Novella Dreamspinner Reviewed by Mandi I've read a lot of Dev Bentham over the years and I love that each of her stories is so different - set in so many different places. Buyout takes place in Lisbon with two guys I liked - but the problem with this story is that it is way too short. Everything felt rushed and that frustrated me. Sean is a financial guy working for a greedy boss who loves to find failing hotels, offer Continue Reading
Review: Something Real by Nellie Christine
Something Real by Nellie Christine Released: January 2017 M/M Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Elijah has rules when he dates men. Very strict rules including, no kissing, no snuggling afterwards, no second dates etc.. Safe to say, you get one wild night with him, and then no more. These rules have kept Elijah's heart safe and that's how he likes it. Besides being a sex rule maker, Elijah also loves to sing and is very talented. Music doesn't pay the bills for him, so he works in Continue Reading
Review: Wanted, a Gentleman by KJ Charles
Wanted, a Gentleman by KJ Charles Released: January 9, 2017 Historical M/M Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "You don't give an inch, do you?" "I just took at least eight," Theo pointed out. I really need to go back and read KJ Charles's backlist - as I've only read a couple by her and what I have read I've really enjoyed. In this book she gives us a more serious stoic hero paired with a wily, cocky hero - and the pairing really worked for me. Theo makes a Continue Reading
Review: Perfect Game by Casey Cameron
Perfect Game by Casey Cameron (Legendary Pairs #1) Released: January 1, 2017 M/M Contemporary Novella Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a nerdy romance and this fit the bill quite nicely. Neil is an awkward guy - a research biologist getting his PhD, living in a new city has Neil a little lonely. One thing that gets him out of the house is playing in Legendary Pairs tournaments. Legendary Pairs is a fast-paced card game - I don't know what I can compare it to - but it features Continue Reading
