My current reading tastes can be summed up with billionaires, mafia, and aliens. First up- I think this was my favorite audiobook of recent months. I LOVED The Casanova by TL Swan. I’ve enjoyed the entire series, but this one had it all and the performance was terrific. I heard the term “suit porn” said in an English accent and I am trying to find ways to use it daily. What’s this fun enemies to lovers trope about? Elliott Miles, third brother in the hot Miles brother pack who owns Miles Continue Reading
Review: Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie Dunmore
Portrait of a Scotsman by Evie DunmoreA League of Extraordinary Women #3Historical Romance09/07/2021 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela This series has been a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I simply adored the first book in the series and loved the premise of this group of women who are fighting for suffrage and women's rights. On the other hand, book two left me irritated and angry after getting almost to the end and running into the tried, cliche gay villain trope. Did not like at all. Continue Reading
Review: Bed of Flowers by Erin Satie
Bed of Flowers by Erin Satie (Sweetness and Light #1) Releases: June 19, 2018 Historical Romance This is just a fantastic book. I loved every second of it. I honestly did not want to put my kindle down once. Bonny Reed grew up wealthy, as her father owned many warehouses down by the dock in their town of New Quay, just south of Liverpool. But when a fire breaks out, it destroys the Reed's future. Their name is still in good standing, and they keep their fancy house, but there isn't much Continue Reading
Review: Making Up by Lucy Parker
Making Up by Lucy Parker (London Celebrities #3) Released: May 28, 2018 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I highly recommend this author if you have yet to try her. This is the third book I've read by her and they have all been adorable and sweet and sexy. In Making Up, we return to the theater, but in a burlesque/acrobatic show. The Festival of Masks is a little bit of everything - lewd humor, amazing aerial skills, singing, dancing and it's a very popular show. When Continue Reading
Review: Her Claim by Rebecca Grace Allen
Her Claim by Rebecca Grace Allen (Legally Bound #2) Released: April 23, 2018 Erotic BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "What a thing it must be," he'd murmured. "To be under your fierce protection." "I look after the people I care about." "I know. It's one of the things I admire most about you." Favorite Quote #2: "I really don't like you." "Same here." Cassie grabbed him by the collar and closed her fist around his shirt. "Good," she said, and Continue Reading
Review: Most Eligible Bastard by Annika Martin
Most Eligible Bastard by Annika Martin Contemporary Romance Released: November 7, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed Annika Martin's (aka Carolyn Crane) voice for some time - her books usually involve zany bad guys and are erotic. This one doesn't have a bad guy - just a hero who starts off a little....bastardy. But he is actually a great guy - it just takes some time for that side to be noticed. Henry Locke is the CEO of a very large construction/poperty company. He Continue Reading
Review: Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates (Copper Ridge #10) Contemporary Romance Released: October 24, 2017 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Honey, I only know how to be inappropriate. And I think you like that about me." I'll start every Maisey Yates review by saying she is my go-to comfort read author. The story arcs and the set-up all might be a little similar, but I like it. I know what I'm going to get with a Yates book. Her heroes seem to be always a little gruff - Continue Reading
