Lay It Down by Cara McKenna (Desert Dogs #1) Released: August 5, 2014 Contemporary/Suspense Romance Signet Reviewed by Mandi Despite the cover or what you may have heard, this is not a motorcycle club book. There is a murder mystery, a sexy and gritty romance and a desert setting that contributes a lot to this story. I have a fondness for Cara McKenna's voice, and I really enjoyed this book. It's different from her previous work and surprised me a bit. Vince Grossier lives in a very Continue Reading

I've had a sneak peek at Magic Breaks by Ilona Andrews, book seven in the Kate Daniels series (releases next Tuesday), and it is fabulous.

That being said, I need a Continue Reading
