Review: Shock & Awe by Abigail Roux

November 11, 2013 by Mandi 9 Comments

Shock & Awe by Abigail Roux (Sidewinder #1) Released: November 11, 2013 Erotic Novella Riptide Reviewed by Mandi I’m a huge fan of Abigail Roux’s Cut & Run series, whose main characters Ty and Zane are two of my most favorite romantic heroes ever. Ty is in the marines and has been with Kelly and Nick for most of his service. The entire Sidewinder group is extremely close. In the previous Ty and Zane book, Kelly gets shot, and this novella is him recuperating with Nick Continue Reading

Review: Glitterland by Alexis Hall

August 26, 2013 by Mandi 3 Comments

Glitterland by Alexis Hall M/M Contemporary Released: August 26, 2013 Riptide Reviewed by Mandi I found this cover so striking, I liked the blurb and it’s a debut author. It was a no brainer to try this one. Ash Winters is an author who is clinically depressed, bipolar and not quite sure he has the wits to live his life on a sane level. Once institutionalized, he now gets severe panic attacks and pretty much soaks up all of his friends patience. In all these years, this is Continue Reading

Raised by a mother who made him ashamed of his stutter, his sexual orientation, and his congenitally amputated arm, Owen lives like a hermit in his Tucker Springs apartment. But then hunky veterinarian Nick Reynolds moves in downstairs. Nick is sexy and confident, and makes Owen comfortable Continue Reading

Review: The Laird’s Forbidden Lover by Amelia C. Gormley

May 15, 2013 by Mandi 5 Comments

The Laird’s Forbidden Lover by Amelia C. Gormley Historical M/M May 6, 2013 Riptide Reviewed by Mandi I enjoyed Amelia Gormley’s self published m/m trilogy so when I heard she was writing a m/m scottish historical for Riptide I got excited. She writes a passionate novella (coming in at 78 pages) but I had some problems with it too. This is the story of farm lad Iain Munro and a future laird, Tavish MacIntyre. Their families know of one another, which is how they meet as Continue Reading
