The Bastard by Inez Kelley (The Baddest Boys in History #1) Released: May 18, 2014 Paranormal Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I realized when I started reading this, how much I am craving a fun, new paranormal world. Something full of characters like Kresley Cole or JR Ward gives us. This book gives us some bad boys - Vike, our hero isn't the baddest of the bunch, but it's a pretty nice start. This book has the premise of the Creator of All waging war on the evil. Angels Continue Reading

Review: Tanya by Rebecca Rogers Maher
Tanya by Rebecca Rogers Maher Released: April 30, 2014 Erotic Novella Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read The Bridge by Rebecca Rogers Maher, a very powerful novella about two people who meet when they are on a bridge ready to commit suicide. As you can probably guess, these two end up leaving this bridge and falling in love. In those short pages, Maher really excelled at giving us a very dark, emotional love story. Tanya takes place during the wedding of Henry and Continue Reading
Review: Bet On Me by Alisha Rai
Bet On Me by Alisha Rai (Bedroom Games #3) Released: April 8, 2014 Erotic Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed the heck out of this erotic trilogy and I'm sad to see it end, but it is a very satisfying ending. I highly recommend you read this series in order - they are all novella-length books, so they are quick reads. One thing that really stands out about Wyatt and Tatiana in this series is how mature they are. They have fears, and are scared of commitment and Continue Reading
Review: How to Say Goodbye by Amber Lin
How to Say Goodbye by Amber Lin New Adult Released: April 7, 2014 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've read several of Amber Lin's previous books, and while sometimes the stories don't work for me, her voice is just lovely and I'm always eager to read her next one. This time, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I was hesitant because it's a New Adult (hero is 18 and heroine is 19) and I'm kind of over the super, emo angst that this genre always brings, but this one is different. I'd say Continue Reading
Review: The Lucky Charm by Beth Bolden
The Lucky Charm by Beth Bolden (Portland Pioneers #1) Released: May 4, 2014 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Jane from Dear Author recommended this to me. I've been on a sports romance kick lately and I'm so glad I read this one. I will say it took me a few chapters for me to warm up to our hero and heroine, but I ended up really enjoying them. The hero especially becomes quite adorable. Izzy Dalton loves journalism behind the camera, but when her boss and mentor Continue Reading

Review: Nobody by Sarah M. Anderson
Nobody by Sarah M. Anderson (Men of the White Sandy #3) March 8, 2014 Contemporary Romance Self-Published Reviewed by Helyce From Goodreads: Nobody Bodine came from a nobody and will always be a nobody. He can disappear into the shadows—no one can see him if he doesn’t want them to. He exists on the edge, in neither the white man’s world nor the tribe’s, dispensing vigilante justice when he sees fit. There’s no other place for a man like him in this world. Until Melinda Mitchell shows Continue Reading

Still Life With Strings by L.H. Cosway Released: March 24, 2014 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: My sophisticated concert violinist has a dirty mouth, and it thrills me. It was just an ordinary night. He didn't think anything extraordinary would happen. Until it did. Turning a corner onto the bustling night time street, he saw her all in blue. The woman from his painting was a living, breathing thing...and she was so completely Continue Reading

Copper King by Vivian Arend (Takhini Shifters #1) Paranormal Novella April 1, 2014 (part of Alpha’s After Dark boxed set) May 1, 2014 (solo release) Self Published Reviewed by Helyce Last year I read Diamond Dust from this author’s Takhini Wolves series which introduced us to Jim Halcyon and his wife Lillie, so I was thrilled to take a step back in time and read the story of how they met. In Copper King, Jim and Lillie are in Vegas for similar reasons. Jim and his wolf shifter friend Continue Reading
