Review: Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix
Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix Romantic Comedy/Adult August 21, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini I was looking forward to this book, as it features as STEM focused heroine. I was willing to look past the fact that the hero is a billionaire. The blurb references being similar to Penny Reid, Sally Thorne, and Jennifer Crusie all of whom are authors of books I have loved. This book really fell short of my expectations. It wasn’t terrible, but it didn’t wow me with its brilliance Continue Reading
Review: Poison or Protect by Gail Carriger
Poison or Protect by Gail Carriger (Delightfully Deadly #1) Released: June 21, 2016 Steampunk/Paranormal Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Listen to me, my deadly little pearl. Choose love. Always choose love. If the decision is between love and anything else, choose love." I haven't read Gail Carriger in so long - fail on my part! I really enjoyed the first few Parasol Protectorate books, and then unfortunately, she fell off my radar. Shame on me. Poison or Continue Reading
Review: A Taste of Honey by Rose Lerner
A Taste of Honey by Rose Lerner (Lively St. Lemeston #4) Released: September 12, 2017 Historical Novella Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I absolutely adore Rose Lerner's, Lively St. Lemeston series. Fans of this series will be excited that Mr. Moon, baker extraordinaire, (a minor character from Sweet Disorder) is the hero. If you have not read this series, each one works very well as a stand alone. Besides this book, the others are full length. The blurb of this one drew me in right Continue Reading

Review: Sanctuary by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Sanctuary by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Beards and Bondage #2) Released: August 29, 2017 Erotic BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I quite enjoyed Haven, book one in this series earlier this year (both are stand alones) and Sanctuary was a hit for me as well. As in Haven, this book starts with quite a suspenseful scene. Our heroine, Liz, an attorney, who goes home one day after a long day of work, to find a man in her apartment, waiting to kill her. Liz is able to eventually take the heel Continue Reading
Review: A Dangerous Proposal by Jillian Eaton
A Dangerous Proposal by Jillian Eaton (Bow Street Brides #2) Released: July 25, 2017 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm loving Jillian Eaton's voice. The first book in this series, A Dangerous Seduction was a really fun read, and this one met all of my expectations as well. A few things to note: First, the heroine in this book was raped a few years prior to this book starting. It's briefly relived in a flashback and it's mentioned a few times as the heroine is still Continue Reading
Review: Latte Girl by Katia Rose
Latte Girl by Katia Rose Contemporary Romance August 17, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce From Goodreads: Hot coffee is a regular fixture in Hailey Warren’s life. Hot guys? Not so much. Her grueling shifts at a cafe in the heart of the city’s business sector are rarely punctuated by anything special, so when the gorgeous heir to the security company next door strides into Hailey’s life, it feels like punctuation with a capital P (or D, depending on your preferred Continue Reading

Drunk Dial by Penelope Ward Romance Contemporary August 21, 2017 Penelope Ward Books, Inc. Favorite Quote: “I’ve never done this before...phone sex.” “It’s like sex...but over the phone.” Reviewed by Tracey It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? Continue Reading
