Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Beards & Bondage #1) Released: April 26, 2017 BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi How can I pass up a series titled, Beards & Bondage?? What I liked most about this story is while it is erotic, and there is a beard, and there is some bondage, their courtship is presented so well. And the trauma and recovery the heroine goes through in this book felt so realistic. Claudia is from the city but goes on a camping trip with her brother but they run Continue Reading
Review: Lost Rider by Harper Sloan
Lost Rider by Harper Sloan (Coming Home #1) Released: April 25, 2017 Contemporary Romance Pocket Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Are you drunk, baby?" Maverick smirks at me. I nod. "You want to keep getting drunk or go home?" "That depends," I whisper huskily, crooking my finger so he'll bend closer to me. "Do I get to ride my cowboy in both scenarios or only one?" I've never read Harper Sloan (I plan to hit her back list hard after this one) and when I saw in the blurb Continue Reading
Review: By the Hour by Roni Loren
By the Hour by Roni Loren Series: Pleasure Principle, 2 Contemporary Romance Released: April 25, 2017 Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "She held in the moan that threatened. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. His soft laugh brushed against her ear as he found her swollen clit. “Now, now, that’s not a game you can win, so don’t bother trying. You won’t be quiet for me.” I decided to abandon the compulsion to accost strangers on the street and shriek about why they are seriously Continue Reading

Review: Relaunch Mission by Robyn Bachar
Relaunch Misson by Robyn Bachar Released: April 24, 2017 Sci-Fi Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "I'm not going to be caught naked, midcoitus when the ship enters hyperspace. That's asking for sprains in places we don't want." The blurb and the cover drew me into this one and I ended up really enjoying it. I'll say up front while there is a HEA and love scenes, the romance does take a back seat to the sci-fi action. But the heroine is awesome, and her crew is Continue Reading

Review: How to Bang a Billionaire by Alexis Hall
How to Bang a Billionaire (Arden St. Ives #1) Publication Date: April 16, 2017 M/M New Adult/BDSM Forever Romance Reviewed by Kini Rules are made to be broken... If England had yearbooks, I'd probably be "Arden St. Ives: Man Least Likely to Set the World on Fire." So far, I haven't. I've no idea what I'm doing at Oxford, no idea what I'm going to do next and, until a week ago, I had no idea who Caspian Hart was. Turns out, he's brilliant, beautiful . . . oh yeah, and a Continue Reading

Finn has put his entire life into this ranch and hasn't seen his brothers for many years. He Continue Reading
