Tipping his head back, Wes brushed his lips over Dustin’s chin. Huh. Guess that answered the kissing question. “You’re a good friend,” Wes whispered. “I’m really not,” Dustin said softly. A good friend wouldn’t lead Wes on. A good friend would be able to give him everything he needed, everything he deserved. “Yeah, you are. You knew what would help tonight.” Wes stretched, eyes telegraphing his intent long before his head moved, and Dustin had plenty time to pull away. But he Continue Reading

Review: Ready for Wild by Liora Blake
Ready for Wild by Liora Blake (Grand Valley #3) Released: October 31, 2017 Contemporary Romance Gallery Books Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and picked this one up without even reading the blurb. Had I read the blurb, I may not have proceeded: Blurb: Braden Montgomery is certain about three things: one, luck is for suckers; two, time spent outdoors is what keeps him sane; and, three, when it comes to sharing his bed, there’s only one female he’s Continue Reading
Review: The Proposition by Elizabeth Hayley
The Proposition by Elizabeth Hayley The Players #2 Contemporary Romance October 31, 2017 Swerve Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: This kiss was a promise— a promise that there could be more. That their story didn’t have to only be about a hockey player and an escort. It could be about Ben and Ryan. And that would be more than enough. It would, in fact, be everything. The blurb for this book got me with its description of a fake romance, one of my favorite tropes. Also at first glance Continue Reading
Introducing Audible Romance
Audible emailed me earlier this week with a new feature that releases today, and I thought some of my readers would be interested in it! Audible Romance is a monthly subscription that gives you unlimited access to over ten thousand romance books. You can listen to as many as you want each month (Like Kindle Unlimited, I assume?). If you are already an Audible member it's an additional $6.95 per month, or if you are a new subscriber, $14.95. A few thing that Audible Romance offers: "Take Continue Reading
Review: Touch of Red by Laura Griffin
Touch of Red by Laura Griffin (Tracers #12) Romantic Suspense Released: October 31, 2017 Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi This is my favorite romantic suspense series - I'm a huge fan of suspense in general. Almost 100% of what I listen to is suspense (not necessarily romantic) and the darker the better. (Shout-out to Karin Slaughter). Touch of Red is not the creepiest or grittiest of Lauren Griffin's work, but it's still enjoyable, even with a slightly annoying heroine. Brooke Porter 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

Review: Follow by Tessa Bailey
Follow by Tessa Bailey Released: October 30, 2017 Erotic Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi In general, I love Tessa Bailey books. This is her first venture into self pubbing and I say, give it all to me! But this was a time that one of her books did not work for me. The quick set-up - Teresa is our heroine and growing up her dad was involved with mobsters/crime lord - he eventually gets out of that life and heads west with his family, but unfortunately for Teresa, now as Continue Reading
