Review: The Valkyrie’s Guardian by Moriah Densley
The Valkyrie’s Guardian by Moriah Densley Paranormal Romance Released: October 22, 2012 Crimson Romance Reviewed by May I feel like a freak show. It’s definitely not that, baby.

Not being immortal combined with no super strong powers makes her an extra-sentient that needs protecting. Jack descended from an ancient line of kilt-wearing, bagpipe-playing, Gaelic-speaking Scottish Continue Reading

For me the reading experience was very uneven - I adored the one story and merely tolerated the other. Like a Wolf With a Bone by Shelly Laurenston “Are you talking about condoms?” Lord, he looked absolutely mortified. “Yeah. Condoms.” “It’s ok to mention Continue Reading

Review: Rapture by J.R. Ward
Rapture by J.R. Ward (The Fallen Angels #4) Released: September 25, 2012 Paranormal Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Please Note: The hero of this book has been kept pretty hush hush. If you want to go into the book with a totally clean slate, please don’t read this review. Rapture is book four in JR Ward’s Fallen Angel series. I wasn’t a big fan of the first two, but the last book was an enjoyable read. Rapture falls down the middle. It is an okay book, slow at times, but Continue Reading
