Review: Payback by Kristin Harte
Payback by Kristin Harte (Vigilante Justice #1) Released: January 25, 2018 Romantic Suspense Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I like the premise of this book and it may turn into a fun series, as the hero has a bunch of brothers who all need love. But by the end, I felt like Payback fell a little short of expectations. In Justice, Colorado, the Kennard family are top dog. They own a sawmill and vast lumberyard and employ almost everyone in their small town. There is a sheriff, but Continue Reading
Review: Hostage by Annika Martin and Skye Warren
Hostage by Annika Martin and Skye Warren (Criminals & Captive #2) Released: January 27, 2018 Dark Romantic Suspense Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Back in 2014, I read Prisoner by Annika Martin and Skye Warren (currently free) and it stretched my boundaries. It made me feel a little uncertain, as there is one scene where the hero drugs the heroine and then they have sex. I liked the characters, and the dark world they created - I think I gave it a B. The romance wasn't as romancy Continue Reading
Review: Zero Hour by Megan Erickson
Zero Hour by Megan Erickson (Wired and Dangerous #1) Released: January 30, 2018 Romantic Suspense Forever Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Those fingers can penetrate a fire wall and make me come." She opened her eyes and grinned a filthy smile. "Got me a man who can do both." Start of a new series about hackers, and I'm excited. I really enjoyed this book. It has a very grumpy hero and he loves his best friend's little sister, which pisses him off even more. Oh Roarke, I love you Continue Reading
Review: Station Alpha by Aislinn Kearns
Station Alpha by Aislinn Kearns (Soldiering On #1) Released: August 2016 Romantic Suspense Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a Twitter recommendation (my bank account does not) and when I saw Meka tweet that Station Alpha was a good read, featuring a hero with a disability, I bought it. She rec'd it because his disability was not the main storyline, and I agree with her. It plays a role in the story (he is wheelchair bound) but it's not the main focus. And - pigs starting Continue Reading
Review: Dangerous Promise by Megan Hart
Dangerous Promise by Megan Hart (The Protector #1) Released: January 2, 2017 Futuristic Suspense Swerve Reviewed by Mandi I find that Megan Hart writes such different things from book to book. I fell in love with her when she wrote Broken, Dirty etc.., and I've followed her work since then. When I saw her new series featuring a female bodyguard set in the future, I was definitely intrigued. First, and I didn't realize this, the entire series follows Nina and Ewan. I assumed book two Continue Reading

Stranded With The Navy Seal by Susan Cliff Released: November 1, 2017 Romantic Suspense Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Never once had she encountered a stranger's erection and become weak-kneed with lust.

This book is fun - although the SEAL did get on my nerves now and again. Let me set it up. Cady is our chef, and in need to have a Continue Reading

Review: Twisted Truth by Melinda Leigh
Twisted Truth by Melinda Leigh (Rogue Justice #1) Romantic Suspense Novella 110 pages October 31, 2017 Montlake Reviewed by Helyce It’s been awhile since I’ve read a romantic suspense and this novella length story was a good choice to revisit the genre. The story takes place in a very small town called Solitude. It’s one of those towns where everyone knows everyone and is likely related. Such is the case with Twisted Truth. The author sets the tone of the story with a horrific Continue Reading
