Mandi’s DNF Round-Up
The Billionaire Beast by Jackie Ashenden Contemporary Romance March 7, 2017 I love a beauty/beast themed book, especially one where the hero is so damaged he hasn't left his house in ten years! Nero is a billionaire, and due to severe trauma in his childhood, he is a recluse. He has a problem with keeping assistants. His demands are high, and his assistants seem to quit after a very short time, even when he pays them extremely well. He demands not only immediate obedience, but 24/7 around Continue Reading

Review: Live Wire by Caisey Quinn
Live Wire by Caisey Quinn (Nashville's Finest #1) Romantic Suspense Released: March 7, 2017 Intermix Reviewed by Mandi I read the blurb of this book and thought this could be cracky fun. First we have a hero who is an "Explosive ordinance disposal specialist" and that just sounds awesome and bad ass and something I wanted to read about. The cracky part comes in when I learned the heroine was assumed dead for four years. Four long years, Chase thought the love of his life, Vivienne was Continue Reading

In fact Seth, the God of Storms, isn’t considerate at all. When Tallulah is contacted by the Seattle PD about a body, she’s dismayed to find a Continue Reading
Review: What it Takes by Shannon Stacey
What it Takes by Shannon Stacey (Kowalski Family #10) Released: February 28, 2017 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I've really enjoyed the Kowalski series over the years. I've not read the entire series, but several, especially those in the beginning. It's a nice contemporary series - it makes me laugh, and the heroes and heroines are nice and a little dirty. A good combination. This book has a stand alone romance but is also a reunion book. We meet Laney, whose Continue Reading
