Review: Pole Position Contemporary Romance Released: February 12, 2016 Acelette Press Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "Lying in bed next to the wrong woman isa million times lonelier than lying in bed alone." When bad covers happen to good books....this book's cover is something I'd expect to fall from the knapsack of a breakfast clubber....the 80's called and they want their book covers back...heh, I trust my point is well taken. Pole Position has a sort of dated new adulty feel. Continue Reading

DNF Review: Lady Bridget’s Diary by Maya Rodale
Lady Bridget's Diary by Maya Rodale (Cavendish #1) Releases: February 23, 2016 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Based on the title of this book, I assumed we would get some Bridget Jones's Diary references - it's a movie I adore and I had never read Maya Rodale so I decided to try it. What this book turns out to be is more of a retelling of Pride and Prejudice (PP) with Bridget Jones's Diary (BJD) and Mean Girls thrown in. (And I realize the similarities between Bridget Continue Reading

Having read Sidney Bristol before, I expected a well plotted action packed story with a romance dripping with lust and sexy times. Unfortunately, I didn't get much of that. The story starts out well. We meet the main protagonists and get their back story. Adrian owns an auto repair shop and Continue Reading
Smex Scene Sunday
Hero: Drake Hart. Bodyguard. Protector. Well endowed. Heroine: Zoey Lewis. Virgin. In need of protection. Horny. Putting under spoiler tag today because it's naughty. [spoiler]Reaching down to my own jeans, I unbutton the top button and unzip them. Pulling back the flaps, I expose my boxer briefs, straining from the massive erection behind them. I’m so fucking hard that this will probably be over in seconds. The tease from before nearly made me cum all over myself. I know if I put my Continue Reading
