Review: Collide by Juliana Stone
Collide by Juliana Stone (Barker Triplets #2) Contemporary Romance January 15, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi My biggest complaint with the first book in this series is that I didn’t experience the hero and heroine falling in love enough. In Collide, we get to see a much more emotional relationship with Shane and Bobbi. It also helps that the two of them used to be deeply (and turbulently) in love as young adults. Shane is an ex-con, having gone to prison for doing some Continue Reading

Guest Review: Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
I’m happy to have Shelly back with another guest review. She reads a lot in the New Adult genre and wanted to share her review of Hopeless. As I was looking through Goodreads and scanning the internet for other reviews of this book I found it quite intriguing that it either got 5-stars or 1-star reviews. Nothing in the middle. There was either immense love (as Shelly has for it) or immense dislike. One person who really disliked this book is Brie from Romance Around the Corner. I encourage you Continue Reading
Review: The Trouble With Being Wicked by Emma Locke
The Trouble With Being Wicked by Emma Locke (The Naughty Girls #1) Historical Romance December 18, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I believe this is the debut for Emma Locke and with a cute cover and a cute blurb, I had to try it. At times this book was rather adorable, and at times this book was rather slow. I think overall this author has the potential to write a charming, sexy book. This one didn’t quite make it there for me though. Celeste Gray is a very well known Continue Reading

Painted Faces by L.H. Cosway Contemporary Romance December 16, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi “We all paint on a face to show the world,” Nicholas replies philosophically. “For some of us, that’s quite literal.” He takes a brief pause, “When you’re passionate about something, you don’t mind suffering a little discomfort.” I give him a wry glance. “Have you had to suffer for your passion?” He nods gently, his eyes roving over the crowds as they push by us. “More Continue Reading

Guest Review: The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski
The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski New Adult Contemporary Romance November 15, 2012 Self Published Shelly is very passionate about books and music, and I was so happy when she offered to review this book. You can find more of her reviews at Goodreads. Before reading a novel I usually take a few minutes to check out the author; look at their website, other works, their bio, and (if they have a goodreads page) what books they read or recommend.
