His Risk to Take by Tessa Bailey (Line of Duty #2) May 13, 2013 Erotic Contemporary Entangled Publishing Reviewed by Mandi After reading and enjoying Protecting What’s His, I was eager to try another book from this author. Tessa Bailey gives us another dirty talking hero in this novella, although the suspense didn’t work quite as well for me. After losing his partner on the job, homicide detective Troy Bennett transfers out of Chicago to start working for the NYPD. Troy is at a Continue Reading
Review: Bare it All by Lori Foster
Bare It All by Lori Foster (Love Undercover #2) Romantic Suspense April 30, 2013 Harlequin Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: “I’ll fill you up, Alice. And I swear you’ll enjoy it.” I loved this book! I wasn’t supposed to have read it because it took me out of the order I was reading in, in an effort to stay on top of my review books; but once I started it, I could not put it down. It’s usually like that when I read a Lori Foster book and I just had to continue because I would never Continue Reading

Review: Against the Dark by Carolyn Crane
Against the Dark by Carolyn Crane (The Associates #1) April 17, 2013 Romantic Suspense Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I was a big fan of Carolyn Crane’s Disillusionist trilogy and I’m happy to say Against the Dark starts a new series and I’m excited about it. Unlike her first series, this doesn’t have any paranormal aspects, and there is a HEA at the end (future books are planned with supporting characters). Angel Ramirez used to get a rush every time she stole jewels with her Continue Reading
Review: Surrender by Stephanie Tyler
Surrender by Stephanie Tyler (Section 8, # 1) Romantic Suspense April 2, 2013 Signet Reviewed by Helyce Favorite Quote: “You’ve known how fucked-up I am, and you still…you still…” She embraced him, put her cheek to his chest to hear his heart beating. “I still.” Section 8, an elite military black ops team shrouded in mystery, was formed many years ago to do the military’s dirty work.

Review: Music of Ghosts by Sallie Bissell

Then you can come back new.” When Mary Crow promised her longtime lover that she would no longer handle criminal cases, she never expected a murder to land at her front door.

Review: Thrill Ride by Julie Ann Walker
Thrill Ride by Julie Ann Walker (Black Knight Inc #4) Romantic suspense April 2, 2013 Sourcebooks Reviewed by Mandi This is the fourth book in Julie Ann Walker’s Black Knight Inc series, featuring ex-military guys who go on missions with the front of a motorcycle shop. I’m not sure what to make of this book. I can’t deny it is entertaining, but it is also over the top silly in some places. My biggest frustration is with our heroine Vanessa, who is a communications Continue Reading
Review: Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux
Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #7) April 1, 2013 M/M Romantic Suspense Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “You’re the best partner I could have asked for.” I always like to make the disclaimer when I write these reviews that I’m a fangirl for this series. Meaning – I’m so incredibly invested in Ty and Zane (they are my favorite characters in all of romance) that my reviews of these books are not necessarily objective. Things that may annoy others or not work Continue Reading
Review: Sharp by Alex Hughes
Sharp by Alex Hughes (Mindspace Investigation #2) April 2, 2013 Futuristic Suspense Roc Reviewed by Mandi Going by the number of Goodreads and Amazon reviews for this series, I say – this is the best series you are not reading. It’s like JD Robb meets Jim Butcher. Set in the future, with a strong murder-mystery suspense element, the world is the result of a Tech war, where millions died and technology can no longer be trusted. Our hero, Adam is a very high-level telepath who Continue Reading
Review: An Eye For Danger by Christine M. Fairchild
An Eye For Danger by Christine M. Fairchild June 28, 2012 Romantic Suspense Self Published Reviewed by Mandi It’s hard for me to find new romantic suspense authors I like. I find that most of the books in this genre I try, fizzle out in the middle. And that kind of happened with this book. Maybe fizzled isn’t quite the word I’m looking for, but I think this book would have been much better had it not been so long. It has a really strong, great start and I love the set-up. But by the Continue Reading
