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

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.

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

Now, per Danny, this competition “..is Continue Reading
