Review: Drive me Wild by Christine Warren
Drive me Wild by Christine Warren (The Others #7) November 27, 2012 Paranormal Romance St. Martins Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read the previous book, On the Prowl which featured a marriage of convenience and a super alpha tiger shifter. I couldn’t resist and I ended up enjoying it. Drive me Wild features Rafael de Santos, the head of The Others council, and a very arrogant, alpha jaguar shifter. If you like snarly, possessive, arrogant alphas, this one will work well Continue Reading
Review: Death and the Girl Next Door by Darynda Jones
Death And The Girl Next Door (Darklight #1) by Darynda Jones Paranormal Romance/YA October 2, 2012 St. Martin's press Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “Turtles are not the innocent, harmless creatures everyone thinks they are. Mark my words.” Darynda Jones hooked me solid with her adult Charley Davidson series, so I jumped quickly and trampled a few friends when offered a chance to read her debut YA series-Death And The Girl Next Door. I’m not proud of my actions, but I can live Continue Reading
Review: Immortally Yours by Angie Fox
Immortally Yours by Angie Fox (Monster M*A*S*H #1) Paranormal Romance Released: August 28, 2012 St. Martin's Reviewed by May Dr. Petra Robichaud was drafted into service, and taken into limbo to serve as a doctor in a MASH unit for the young gods (who are at war with the old gods). There wasn’t much choice about it – Both armies were allowed to recruit anywhere on Earth. And I use the term recruit lightly. It was more like a shanghaiing. A rep from the young gods spotted me first. Continue Reading
Review: Loving Lady Marcia by Kieran Kramer
Loving Lady Marcia by Kieran Kramer (House of Brady #1) Released: August 28, 2012 Historical Romance St. Martin's Reviewed by May This is a story, of a lovely lady.

In an homage to the epic television series The Brady Bunch, Kieran Kramer is writing a series based in Regency England that features the Brady family – right down to Alice and Tiger. As a Continue Reading
Review: On the Prowl by Christine Warren
On the Prowl by Christine Warren (The Others #13) Paranormal Romance April 24, 2012 Reviewed by Mandi On the Prowl is the first I’ve ever read of Christine Warren. I believe this is her thirteenth “Others” book but after doing some investigating and talking to people who are familiar with her books, this one is more of a stand alone. It introduces us to the world of The Tiguri, or tiger shifters. What initially drew me to this book is an arranged marriage. I love it when the hero and Continue Reading

Review: Taming an Impossible Rogue by Suzanne Enoch
Taming an Impossible Rogue by Suzanne Enoch (Scandalous Brides #2) Historical Romance March 27, 2012 St. Martin’s Lady Camille Pryce walked into her wedding ceremony, got one look at the groom, and bolted. Oh it wasn’t that he was terribly unattractive or had done anything to her. Rather, it was the complete and utter lack of his action that had her running. A romantic at heart, she had never once spoken to her betrothed (they were engaged by arrangement of their parents as children) – and Continue Reading

Review: Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas
Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas Contemporary Romance (with magical element) February 28, 2012 St. Martin’s Reviewed by Mandi I’m relatively new to Lisa Kleypas contemporaries. I’m a huge fan of her historicals and decided to try Smooth Talking Stranger this year on audio. I ended up loving it, and still plan to read the other two in that series. But I didn’t want to let this new contemporary pass me by. I was hesitant though for one main reason – magic. I don’t like magic in my Continue Reading
