Tori's Reviews: Wait For It by Molly O’Keefe Series: Everything I left Unsaid, #4 Romance Contemporary February 28, 2016 Grade: C+ Wait For It is the fourth book in Molly O'Keefe's emotionally gritty Everything I Left Unsaid series. It’s also the story I’ve been waiting on. We first met the MCs, Blake and Tiffany, in book two and the meeting was not pretty to say the least. Blake comes to Tiffany’s trailer and is shocked to learn his brother Phil not only had a wife the family knew Continue Reading

Review: Pretty Face by Lucy Parker
Pretty Face by Lucy Parker (London Celebrities #2) Released: February 20, 2017 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I fell completely in love with Lucy Parker's first book, Act Like it.

Director Luc Savage is ready to reinvigorate his West End Continue Reading
Review: Rough & Tumble by Rhenna Morgan
Rough & Tumble by Rhenna Morgan (Haven Brotherhood #1) Released: February 20, 2017 Contemporary/Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi This book had all the workings to be a cracky read - over the top hero who is dripping with alpha sweat, a do-gooder heroine and a brotherhood of men who have reputations of being from the wrong side of the tracks, but are actually really good dudes. But by the end of this one I felt like it was too over the top. These guys are not ones to be found Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Hero: Luc Savage. Theater director and producer. Could be called a curmudgeon. He can't believe he is casting a television actress in his beloved play. Heroine: Lily Lamprey. She knows this theater production is her big chance to prove herself as an actress. Even though her director is all growly and intense, she falls for him hard. One moment she was standing there like a sane professional woman; the next, her nose was buried in his chest and she was hugging a human ice lolly. Continue Reading

Review: Something Real by Nellie Christine
Something Real by Nellie Christine Released: January 2017 M/M Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Elijah has rules when he dates men. Very strict rules including, no kissing, no snuggling afterwards, no second dates etc.. Safe to say, you get one wild night with him, and then no more. These rules have kept Elijah's heart safe and that's how he likes it. Besides being a sex rule maker, Elijah also loves to sing and is very talented. Music doesn't pay the bills for him, so he works in Continue Reading
Review: Reaper’s Claim by Simone Elise
Reaper's Claim by Simone Elise Contemporary (MC) Romance Released: February 15, 2016 Inkitt Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "Our story was never a love story. It was more of a cocktail of sorrows mixed with the odd good moment. It was short, it was bitter, and it left a permanent scar on my heart; not to mention a bad aftertaste." It was catnip. MC romance yum-yum. It started off really (really!) great...then I hit a few bumps and slowed to being good, then bumps became snags and Continue Reading
