Review: Showmance by L.H. Cosway
Showmance by L.H. Cosway Romance Contemporary May 16, 2016 Self Published Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is to just love and be loved in return.” Fans are sure to notice the deviation in plot and characterization that Cosway takes in her latest endeavor. Showmance is a sweet, sexy, mildly angst driven romance that perfectly showcases the allure of opposite attraction by slowing building a relationship between an introvert and a romantic. Mild Continue Reading
Review: Earth Bound by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner
Earth Bound by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner (Fly Me to the Moon #3) Released: May 11, 2016 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I absolutely loved this book. It is very much a stand alone, although I've enjoyed all the books in this series set in the 1960's. This book gives us two, very intelligent protagonists - a hero who falls in love with a heroine for her brain (and the fact she is wild in bed) and science. I love it. Charlie is an extremely smart woman who Continue Reading
Review: Martinis with the Devil by A.A. Chamberlynn
Martinis with the Devil by A.A. Chamberlynn (Part #1) Released: April 2016 Urban Fantasy Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm cautious to try urban fantasy books that are shorter in length because I always feel a new urban fantasy world needs time to build and simmer before I can really get into it. However, I'm happy to say that this book, coming in at 133 pages, is pretty well done. But let me also warn that it is part one of two, and it ends in a cliffhanger (part two has been Continue Reading
Review: The Devil’s Doorbell Anthology
The Devi's Doorbell Anthology Released: April 26, 2016 Erotic Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm super impressed with this erotic anthology. I'm not a big fan of anthologies, but I couldn't pass up a collection of dirty stories from these authors. They are done well. Almost all feature a heroine who is coming back from a bad divorce or break-up, and trying to find herself again. And each features mention of the devil's doorbell *wink* I highly recommend! In the Garden by Continue Reading
Review: Undecided by Juliana Keyes
Undecided by Juliana Keyes Released: April 4, 2016 New Adult Self Published Reviewed by Kini This author is one of my auto buys after I read her book, Just Once. She has not led me astray. I remain on the fence about new adult books, but I just keep finding really good stories in that genre so I keep reading. This was definitely up there in the top of the genre. Low drama and angst Nora spent her first year at college drinking and partying and living the college dream. This did not Continue Reading

Review: Eidolon by Grace Draven
Eidolon by Grace Draven (Wraith Kings #2) Released: April 18, 2016 Fantasy Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Before I begin, let me stress that you must read book one, Radiance before Eidolon, or you will be lost in this world. If you have yet to read Radiance than you have failed in life, because it's amazing and romantic and a must read. No pressure. Eidolon picks up pretty much where Radiance leaves off. Brishen, a Kai who has greyish skin, odd eyes, fangs for teeth and Continue Reading
Review: Tidal Patterns by Rachelle Paige
Tidal Patterns by Rachelle Paige Released: April 12, 2016 Contemporary/Inspirational Romance Self Published Reviewed by Kini The premise of this books sounded very promising to me. The hero and heroine work together yet get in each other’s way. I’ve read books with this trope before and it can lead to some serious sexual tension, so I was in. Lizzie is the only wedding planner on staff at a resort hotel. Her parents recently passed away and she is living in their beach home. Mark is Continue Reading
