Review: Escort by Skye Warren
Escort by Skye Warren Contemporary Romance Released: March 18, 2018 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm always game for escort books. In the past I've enjoyed Curio by Cara McKenna and Escorted by Claire Kent. Escort features a hero, Hugo, who is from Tangier (a big city in Morocco). At the age of fifteen, after his mother died, he fell in love with an older woman who started to teach him about sex (not a fan that he was only fifteen at this point. Not a fan at all). He thought Continue Reading
Review: Hostage by Annika Martin and Skye Warren
Hostage by Annika Martin and Skye Warren (Criminals & Captive #2) Released: January 27, 2018 Dark Romantic Suspense Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Back in 2014, I read Prisoner by Annika Martin and Skye Warren (currently free) and it stretched my boundaries. It made me feel a little uncertain, as there is one scene where the hero drugs the heroine and then they have sex. I liked the characters, and the dark world they created - I think I gave it a B. The romance wasn't as romancy Continue Reading

Review: Hold You Against Me by Skye Warren
Hold You Against Me by Skye Warren (Stripped #4) Released: May 31, 2016 Dark Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've been a fan of Skye Warren books for some time now - going to them whenever I'm craving a dark book. Sometimes she writes really, really dark and it's too much, but I found Hold You Against Me to be dark - but not too dark. Clara and her sister Honor were born into the mafia and their father who is boss is a strict man. Clara has a little rebellion in her though, Continue Reading

Will SHE ever find love? (with a prisoner?) (while kidnapped) (It's verra naughty) I look down at her, running my fingertips gently between her palms. It’s a sensitive place, her hands and mine. Warm with our shared heat. But nothing compared to how my dick will feel. “You’re not just going to touch Continue Reading
Review: Prisoner by Annika Martin and Skye Warren
Prisoner by Annika Martin and Skye Warren Released: October 23, 2014 Dark Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi They say there are two types of fear - the kind that has you running far, far away, and the kind that shakes you so deeply that you can't look away. For me, Grayson is the second kind of fear. I got pretty excited when I heard Annika Martin (aka Carolyn Crane) and Skye Warren were collaborating to write a dark, intense book that features a hero in prison and Continue Reading
