November 19, 2015 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Real World by Amy Jo Cousins (Bend or Break #5) M/M Contemporary Novella Released: November 17, 2015 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Late last year I read Off Campus by Amy Jo Cousins featuring Tom and Reese. I really enjoyed it and was happy to see a new novella that revisits this couple. Tom and Reese meet in college both dealing with dark issues. Tom's dad had been arrested for a massive Ponzi scheme and Reese was recovering after a sexual assault. Reese was openly gay, Tom thought he was Continue Reading

Review: The Girl Next Door by Amy Jo Cousins

July 2, 2015 by Mandi 4 Comments

The Girl Next Door by Amy Jo Cousins (Bend or Break #3) Released: June 16, 2015 Contemporary Romance Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Kaetrin who reviews for Dear Author tweeted me a few days ago and recommend this book. She said the phrase, "straight guy BJ" and I was sold. A straight guy participating in a blow job with another man is like my unicorn. (More like a unicorn with two horns). I digress. There is much more to this story than BJs. Cash is one of the most likable heroes I've Continue Reading

Review: Sealed in Sin (The Vessel Trilogy # 2) by Juliette Cross

April 24, 2015 by Sheena 3 Comments

Sealed in Sin (The Vessel Trilogy # 2) by Juliette Cross Urban Fantasy Released April 21, 2015 Samhain Publishing Reviewed by Sheena In my excitement, the following is mildly spoilery. Book 2 in the Vessel trilogy is wrapped in unpredictability.  Though an HEA is expected, the road traveled in this installment is anything but predictable.  Sealed in Sin picks up shortly after events in Forged in Fire cemented Genevieve as the most powerful Vessel of Light , the being of which a Continue Reading
