Going Under by Lauren Dane (Bound by Magick #3) February 5, 2013 Paranormal Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I recently discovered this series and read the first two books and really enjoyed them. Lauren Dane has created a really nice paranormal world mostly filled with witches, but other supernaturals as well. While each book features a new hero and heroine, the world has been building up the past two books. This book really dives into what would happen if witches were Continue Reading

DNF Review: Rush by Maya Banks
Rush by Maya Banks (Breathless #1) Erotic Contemporary February 5, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Maya Banks has a new trilogy releasing following three billionaires who run swanky hotels. Although I’m a little tired of the billionaire hero, the blurbs intrigued me so I thought I’d give book one, Rush a try. Let me say this – sometimes having an asshole hero can be fun. Take Tack for example (Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley). He is initially rude to the heroine, arrogant, Continue Reading

Review: Sealed with a Curse by Cecy Robson
Sealed With a Curse by Cecy Robson (Weird Girls #1) Urban Fantasy December 31, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Misha tore off his pants in a way that would shame Magic Mike.

Celia can mainly change into a Tigress but if say, a bunny brushes up against her she involuntary changes into that (hey that’s weird!) Her other sisters, Taran (the snarky one, Emme the quiet,shy one and Shayna (snarky and Continue Reading
Review: The Seduction of Elliot McBride by Jennifer Ashley
The Seduction of Elliot McBride by Jennifer Ashley (Highland Pleasures #5) December 31, 2012 Historical Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I’m a huge fan of this series but unfortunately not a huge fan of this book. It doesn’t live up to the previous books in this series at all. Elliot McBride is a broken man. Having been imprisoned in India, and I guess imprisoned is a mild word for what he went through, he was tortured and stuck in a dark hole for a long time. He was missing Continue Reading

Review: Fall Into You by Roni Loren
Fall Into You by Roni Loren (Loving on the Edge #3) Erotic BDSM December 31, 2012 Berkley Heat Reviewed by Mandi While I’m pretty tired of BDSM club books, I read Roni Loren’s previous book and I liked her voice so I thought I would continue with this one. When I learned that our hero Grant is not only the owner of an exclusive BDSM ranch in Texas and a Dom (and a cowboy!) himself, but also a former CIA operative and a vineyard owner, I said giddy up and let’s get to it. Roni Continue Reading
Review: A Taste of Ice by Hanna Martine
Taste of Ice by Hanna Martine (The Elementals #2) Paranormal Romance December 31, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi These days, I find myself seeking out new contemporary authors or series, but not so much paranormal. However, when book one of this series, Liquid Lies arrived on my doorstep earlier this year, I tried it and really enjoyed. Taste of Ice continues the world where aliens have secretly infiltrated earth, and are warring with each other, unknown to most humans. I believe this Continue Reading
