Review: A Dangerous Seduction by Jillian Eaton
A Dangerous Seduction by Jillian Eaton (Bow Street Brides #1) Released: February 2017 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I had never read this author before and this book did not have much going on at Goodreads, a site I use to help decide whether I should review a book. I don't remember what made me say yes to this review - probably the blurb and the excerpt she provided. From page one I was into it. And by 25% I was in love and I started getting that sweaty feeling of Continue Reading
Review: Lord and Master Trilogy by Kait Jagger
Lord and Master by Kait Jagger Series: Lord and Master Trilogy Erotic Romance Suspense March 20, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Tori You think you know Luna Gregory? Maybe you see what her boss, the Marchioness of Lionsbridge, sees: the best PA she’s ever had, a 26-year-old fixer who makes problems disappear with four quiet words—‘Leave it with me.’ Or you see a remote, untouchable Ice Princess who the 500-year-old Arborage Estate’s heir presumptive longs to crush under his heel.

Review: Wake a Sleeping Tiger by Lora Leigh
Wake A Sleeping Tiger by Lora Leigh (Breeds #31) Paranormal Romance March 21, 2017 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce “My name is Helyce and I am a Breed series addict.” I don’t even know where to begin with this review. Honestly, this series had kind of fallen off my radar. When I saw it on my Goodreads feed and checked, I realized it had been nearly two years since book 30 had been released. Further research showed that this book had been pushed once or twice, until its release this month. Continue Reading

#MakeADateWithHarlequin
It's time for another Harlequin romance-themed video! And I need a viking romance book RIGHT NOW ;) Harlequin wondered what would it look like if someone took a Harlequin hero on a date in the city? So we did just that! With hidden cameras, we captured bystander reactions to seeing larger than life hero’s (a Viking and a Cowboy), participating in everyday dating activities with a real-world woman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OIxBqJu5NI&feature=youtu.be So cute. Also! Continue Reading
Review: Absolve Me by Morgaine Cameron
Absolve Me by Morgaine Cameron BDSM Released: March 20, 2017 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I like the taboo nature of priest romance books (I recommend you check out Amber Belldene's series) and this one throws in a few extra kinks. Liza is a sex therapist/surrogate. I had never heard of a sex surrogate before this book, and I learned that in some cases she actually has sex with her clients to help them through issues they may be having. She can also help couples who are having Continue Reading
Review: Goodbye Paradise by Sarina Bowen
Goodbye Paradise by Sarina Bowen Hello Goodbye, #2 M/M Contemporary Romance Released: March 21, 2017 Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: “You’d wreck me so that you can not quite save her? Does that sound like a solid plan?” “You won’t be wrecked,” Caleb sighed. “You’ll just hate me for a while.” “Not true,” I whispered. “Because when I said I love you, I meant it. Please note: this book was originally published under the title, In Front of God and Everyone released in 2015. Bridge Continue Reading
