Review: One Hit Wonder by Elyssa Patrick
One Hit Wonder by Elyssa Patrick Contemporary Novella December 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “You know what they say, Timmons. All work and no play makes for no time for margaritas.” “I don’t think that’s the correct saying.” Damon Suarez had a hit song years ago, but hasn’t released another hit song since. He is kind of okay with that, as he is still reaping the income of this one hit song presently. It’s still a hit and even has the dance move, The Continue Reading

Review: Acceleration by Amelia C. Gormley
Acceleration by Amelia C. Gormley (Impulse #2) M/M Contemporary November 30, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi A little while back I accepted a review request for a self published m/m romance, Inertia. For the most part I really liked the book and the author’s voice. It ended more with a '’to be continued’ vibe so I was eager to read Acceleration and continue Gavin and Derrick’s story. One of the reasons this story drew me in is that Derrick is a blue-collared handyman who is a Continue Reading

Review: Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson
Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson (Neighbors From Hell #3) Contemporary Romance Released: October 29, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Oh my God!” a woman whispered loudly. “They’re going to do it on the front lawn!” This past summer I read my first RL Mathewson book, Playing for Keeps.

Review: Hear Me by Skye Warren
Hear Me by Skye Warren (Dark Erotica #3) Erotic Novella Released: September 15, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read Trust in Me (I can’t remember who rec’d it to me, but someone did and thank you!) self published by Skye Warren. I liked its really dark erotic content. When she offered me her latest, Hear Me for review, I grabbed it. However, Hear Me is even more extreme in its dark content and I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it. First let me Continue Reading
Review: Offside by Juliana Stone
Series: Barker Triplets #1 Released: October 1, 2012 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a contemporary romance with a hockey hero and Logan Forest is a pretty good hockey player in this book. But when I found very intriguing when I heard about this book, is that Billie Jo, the heroine, is the true hockey star. Billie Jo was so good at hockey, she left her small town and moved to Sweden to play on a professional men’s team that allowed women to play as Continue Reading
Review: My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron
My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron New Adult Contemporary Released: September 4, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi The New Adult genre is new to me. I believe it encompasses books with protagonists that are college aged. This appeals to me because we are past the high school age that is sometimes too young for me, and on to new sets of problems. My Favorite Mistake starts with Taylor Caldwell in her sophomore year. She has two good friends she is sharing a quad dorm Continue Reading
