Review: Stranded With The Mountain Man by Aislinn Kearns
Stranded With The Mountain Man by Aislinn Kearns Released: March 22, 2018 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a reclusive hero. I'm weak for it! So when I saw this book mentioned on Twitter, I jumped on it. The hero has lived in a very remote mountain cabin since he was fifteen - and he's twenty-nine now. You know this means virgin!! (also tipped me off when he said he hasn't had a visitor in all that time too). When Elijah is out hunting and witnesses a small Continue Reading
Review: Escort by Skye Warren
Escort by Skye Warren Contemporary Romance Released: March 18, 2018 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm always game for escort books. In the past I've enjoyed Curio by Cara McKenna and Escorted by Claire Kent. Escort features a hero, Hugo, who is from Tangier (a big city in Morocco). At the age of fifteen, after his mother died, he fell in love with an older woman who started to teach him about sex (not a fan that he was only fifteen at this point. Not a fan at all). He thought Continue Reading
Review: Exposed: A Romance Anthology
Exposed: A Romance Anthology Contemporary Romance March 13, 2018 Self-Published Reviewed by Kini I picked up this antho because it had several authors that I have never read and I thought this would be a good introduction to their writing. I have been in a reading slump so reading short stories was kind of perfect for me. I only read four of the stories and will give a brief review below. All the stories have the same general theme. One of the characters has been chosen to participate Continue Reading
Review: Harbinger by Emily Meredith
Harbinger by Emily Meredith Released: March 13, 2018 Urban Fantasy Self Published Reviewed by Mandi A debut urban fantasy featuring demons and nephilim. I tend to not sway towards demons necessarily, - but I read an excerpt when I received this review request and I liked it. Even better, I enjoyed this entire book (except for the end but we will get to that!) When Annabel's uncle dies, she is shocked. She had not spoken to him for fifteen years, but the loss of him still upsets her. Continue Reading

Review: Tressa by Barbara T. Cerny
Tressa by Barbara T. Cerny Historical Romance Strategic Book Publishing Originally Published August 4, 2011, Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "Ye affront me grossly, lady bird.” “Ye affront me grossly! “Ye was probably weaned on the hind tit, ye fly-bitten harpy.” “And ye've got a face on ye like a well-slapped backside, paddy.” It isn't everyday you come across a romance novel that tells a delicate story with such strength, style and grace. This is especially so when there Continue Reading
Review: A Tycoon’s Rush by Avery Laval
A Tycoon's Rush by Avery Laval Series: Sin City Tycoons Contemporary Romance Released: February 5, 2018 Blue Crow Books Reviewed by: Sheena Favorite Quote: “Excuse me?” she said, flustered, imagining him thinking the same thing as her, sizing up the potential in this little rental Fiat and coming to the same conclusion. Tricky, but worth it. A Tycoon's Rush is a very short, very unfinished novella. Perhaps less than a novella...it is more so a snippet, a morsel, a Continue Reading
Review: Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen
Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen Brooklyn Bruisers, #4 (Novella) Contemporary Romance February 12, 2018 Rennie Read Books Favorite Quote: “Hey Bingley.” “Yes, miss?” “Can you give Nate a message for me?” “Voice or text?” “Uh, text. Tell him Rebecca sends her congratulations.” “Certainly, my dear. Are we adding any emojis?” “No, because we’re not twelve.” “Noted.” Reviewed by Tori You’d think a billion dollars, a professional hockey team and a six-bedroom mansion on the Promenade Continue Reading
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
