Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. Only, turned out, he wasn't an intruder at all. Drew was the rightful occupant of Continue Reading

Review: The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood
The Rule Maker by Jennifer Blackwood (The Rule Breakers #2) Released: January 16, 2017 Contemporary Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi I adored The Rule Book last year and was excited to try another from Jennifer Blackwood. This one is just as good - maybe even better. And just to put out there - there are sex scenes this time! I know a few people who didn't read the first book due to fade to black scenes. That book had such great sexual tension it was a bit of a let down to have the Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Tori: A wealthy socialite who loses everything when her past comes back to haunt her. Miles: An absent-minded researcher who is forced to take a good hard look at his own behavior when a frenemy needs his help. I cup her face in my hands, stroke my thumbs over her jaw and down her throat to the hollows just above her collarbone.

Review: Wild Kisses by Skye Jordan
Wild Kisses by Skye Jordan Series: Wildwood, #2 Contemporary Romance Released: January 10, 2017 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: “I still feel like I’m in a dream. All anxious that I’m going to wake up and I’m still going to be fighting to reach this dream.” You can't keep a good gal down! It has been a while since I've enjoyed a heroine like Avery. Initially coming off as quiet and meek and ripe for being taken advantage of, I was concerned that her personality would be Continue Reading

Neil is an awkward guy - a research biologist getting his PhD, living in a new city has Neil a little lonely. One thing that gets him out of the house is playing in Legendary Pairs tournaments. Legendary Pairs is a fast-paced card game - I don't know what I can compare it to - but it features Continue Reading
