The Thing About Love by Julie James (FBI/US Attorney #7) Released: April 18, 2017 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi First I have to say, what is up with this cover? At first glance, or from far away, it looks bloody! But it's a broken lollipop? Not my favorite cover, and not my favorite book by Julie James. She writes meticulously detailed FBI agents - you can tell she puts hours, and hours of research into her stories. Some books, an author just slaps on the title of FBI Continue Reading
Review: Wake a Sleeping Tiger by Lora Leigh
Wake A Sleeping Tiger by Lora Leigh (Breeds #31) Paranormal Romance March 21, 2017 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce “My name is Helyce and I am a Breed series addict.” I don’t even know where to begin with this review. Honestly, this series had kind of fallen off my radar. When I saw it on my Goodreads feed and checked, I realized it had been nearly two years since book 30 had been released. Further research showed that this book had been pushed once or twice, until its release this month. Continue Reading
Review: Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop
Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop (The Others #5) Released: March 7, 2017 Urban Fantasy Roc Reviewed by May Simon and Meg once again return to the center of this beautifully crafted world, for yet another installment of The Others series. This is definitely a series that needs to be read in order, as the story truly carries over through the series. We pick up in this book where we last left off, with Namid’s teeth and claws considering this question: How much human should we keep? A Continue Reading

Joint Review: On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton
On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton (Wild Aces #3) Released: January 3, 2017 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Kini and Mandi Kini: I read Fly with Me, book one in the series, earlier this year. It was a middle of the road read for me, except for the relationship between Dani and Easy. I LOVE the trope where one character loves the other from afar, but doesn’t/can’t make a move. Because I am a horrible person, I felt okay about the circumstances that allowed for Dani and Continue Reading
Review: Blood Vow by J.R. Ward
Blood Vow by J.R. Ward (Black Dagger Legacy #2) Released: December 6, 2016 Paranormal Romance Ballantine Books Reviewed by Mandi This is the second book in the BDB spin-off series, but as we have seen in the past - this book has a main H/H, Axe and Elise, but the other half of the book (maybe even more than half) is the continuing story of Rhage, Mary and their adopted daughter Bitty. If you didn't read Rhage's book that came out in March, you might be a little lost with Bitty. Mary and Continue Reading
Review: Someone to Love by Mary Balogh
Someone to Love by Mary Balogh (Westcott #1) Released: November 8, 2016 Historical Romance Signet Reviewed by Mandi Mary Balogh was one of the first romance authors I read, so she holds a special place in my heart. I even had that awkward, "omg I love you so much" conversation with her in an elevator once. The poor lady was trapped and couldn't escape me. I eventually let her out. My most favorite hero of hers is Wulfric - be still my heart. I didn't love her previous Survivor's Club Continue Reading

Review: Mistletoe Games by Jaci Burton
Mistletoe Games by Jaci Burton: A Play-By-Play Anthology Contemporary Romance October 18, 2016 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce Holiday Games For the high-achieving Elizabeth and her husband, baseball player Gavin Riley, failure is not an option. So when it comes to making a baby, they’re not about to let any holiday distractions get in the way of their necessary pleasures. This story was just okay for me. I haven’t read the Play By Play series, and though I enjoy a sports Continue Reading
Review: A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas
A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas Series: The Lady Sherlock, #1 Historical Fiction/Mystery Suspense October 18, 2016 Penguin Favorite Quote: “Do you think an extraordinary woman ought to be treated differently, my dear?” [...] “The extraordinary will always be treated differently—they’re extraordinary, after all. What I wonder is whether a not-so-extraordinary woman will ever be treated the same as a not-so-extraordinary man.” Reviewed by Tori With her inquisitive mind, Continue Reading
