Swear on This Life by Renee Carlino - 8/9. Her previous book, Before We Were Strangers, made my favorite list for 2015. I'm excited to try this one. Goodreads l Kindle Reaper's Fire by Joanna Wylde - 8/9. I don't think Tori loved this one (I could be mistaken) - so I'll go into it with caution. We shall see. Goodreads l Kindle A Scot in the Dark by Sarah MacLean - 8/30. I enjoy this author's voice and this blurb looks really good. Goodreads l Kindle Burn Down the Night Continue Reading
Mandi’s July To-Be-Read
Steadfast by Sarina Bowen - July 12. I just read Bittersweet and I looooooved and I can't wait for this book!! Kindle l Goodreads Fast Connection by Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell - July 11. Strong Signal is a favorite read of this year so far, so I'm def ready for the next one in this erotic m/m series. Kindle l Goodreads Rock Wedding by Nalini Singh - July 19. Tori has had a peek at this one and said it's a sweet second chance romance. Kindle l Goodreads Married Continue Reading
Mandi’s June To-Be-Read
Allegiance of Honor by Nalini Singh - June 14. Slave to Sensaion, book one in this series, released TEN years ago!! Wow. What a great series this has become. Kindle l Nook Idol by Kristen Callihan - June 7. Love Callihan's Game On series, and now she is moving to rock stars?? Yasssss. I hear this has a jaded rock star and a grumpy heroine. This excites me greatly. Kindle The Bourbon Thief by Tiffany Reisz - June 28. I hear this is a big departure from her Sinners series - and I'm Continue Reading
Mandi’s May To-Be-Read
Mister O by Lauren Blakely 4/30 - I really enjoyed Big Rock (read review) - super funny and really sexy/dirty. This book follows supporting characters but is definitely a stand alone. I think I'll do this on audio - I've learned Blakely gets good narrators. Goodreads l Kindle Romancing the Fashionista by K.M Jackson 5/10. I have this coming up for review soon - looking forward to reading it. Goodreads l Kindle Sugar Daddy by Sawyer Bennett 5/24 - I like Bennett's Cold Fury hockey Continue Reading
Mandi’s April To-Be-Read
The Beast by J.R. Ward - 4/5. I've read this and definitely give it a solid B. Lots of good Rhage and Mary stuff. Lots of good Layla stuff. V and Lassiter have some good page time too. Felt more focused rather than 500 different story lines. I'll review on Tuesday. Goodreads l Kindle Dirty by Kylie Scott - 4/16. First book of her spin-off from Stage Dive, we head to bartenders. Yassssss. Tori has read this and says it's "absolutely adorable." I'm excited. Goodreads l Kindle The Continue Reading
Mandi’s March To-Be-Read
Let's take a look at what I want to read this month! Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs 3/8. While the past few books in this series have been a bit rocky, I'm hearing good things about this one. I still say Briggs' Alpha & Omega series is better and more consistent - but I'll always read this series. The characters are just amazing (unless Adam is being spineless with his ex-wife!) Goodreads l Kindle Hawke by Sawyer Bennett 3/15. This is book five in this series - and I've only Continue Reading
Mandi’s February TBR
Wicked Sexy Liar by Christina Lauren 2/2/16. Book four in this realllllly fun sexy and series. Come back tomorrow for a chance to win it in print. (I love this series on audio). Goodreads l Kindle Kings Rising by C.S. Pacat 2/2/16. You guys. YOU GUYS. I'm going to slobber all over this review tomorrow. Prepare yourselves. (It will be spoiler-free as well!). PS - don't read this unless you've read the first two! Goodreads l Kindle Brotherhood in Death by JD Robb Continue Reading
Looking Ahead to February (With bonus smexy pics!)
Top Ten will return next week. But, because it’s Friday and we all need some smexy action here is the Olympic Canadian Bob Sled Team. OH CANADA (HI beards and thighs!) And if you need slightly nsfw action, here is a sexy Red Sox player who likes to take nakey selfies of himself. (There is a tea bag(ging) joke just waiting to burst forth…) Anyway – oh right book news. Last month I did a ‘Looking Ahead to January’ post so let’s continue on for February. May has read Continue Reading
To Be Read….
I love to look ahead and see what books are coming up to add to by TBR pile. Here are a few coming out later this summer that have caught my eye. For more “To Be Read” posts check HERE. The Chocolate Touch by Laura Florand July 30 – Goodreads l Kindle I have adored The Chocolate Kiss and The Chocolate Rose. Dying to read this one. She writes charming, very sexy books about Parisian chocolatiers and chefs. Highly recommended. Lady Anne’s Lover by Maggie Robinson. July 30 Continue Reading
To Be Read – May
Some books that have caught my eye coming out in late April and May. I try to highlight new series and debut authors. You can see previous To Be Read posts here. A Spear of Summer Grass by Deanna Raybourn – April 30. I think Deanna Raybourn has a great voice in her Lady Julia books. This one caught my eye because the heroine is exiled from Paris to Kenya. Then she meets a man and sees lots of animals. There is probably other stuff that happens too! Goodreads l Kindle Dark Wolf by Continue Reading
