Cake: A Love Story by J. Bengtsson Cake, #1 NA Contemporary Romance May 14, 2016 Self Published Audible Reviewed by Helyce A few weeks ago, faced with another tedious and mundane task at work, I opened up Audible to search for something that would make the task at hand a bit more bearable. Audible had just emailed me a romance spotlight list and Cake: A Love Story was second on the list. The short blurb about a rockstar with a tragic past was all I needed to know before I clicked Continue Reading

Hump Day Giveaway!
I used to do a lot of giveaways, back in the day when we were all babies and publishers would send out print books. These day, I mostly receive digital arcs/books - which I actually prefer!

I'm going to give all seven to one random commenter, who I will choose on Friday. US/Canada shipping Continue Reading
Review: Stranded With The Mountain Man by Aislinn Kearns
Stranded With The Mountain Man by Aislinn Kearns Released: March 22, 2018 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love a reclusive hero. I'm weak for it! So when I saw this book mentioned on Twitter, I jumped on it. The hero has lived in a very remote mountain cabin since he was fifteen - and he's twenty-nine now. You know this means virgin!! (also tipped me off when he said he hasn't had a visitor in all that time too). When Elijah is out hunting and witnesses a small Continue Reading

Review: Bad Business by Nicole Edwards
Bad Business by Nicole Edwards (Bad Boys of Sports #2) Publication Date: March 27, 2018 Contemporary/Sports Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: A blush reddens her skin from her chest to her cheeks, but she doesn’t move. “I’m gonna worship you,” I tell her, kissing her jaw. “And when I’m done making you come all over my face, I plan to fuck you until neither of us can breathe.” I like sports romance and combine that with a player getting involved with the owner’s daughter Continue Reading
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
