Review: Colin by Sotia Lazu
Colin by Sotia Lazu (Threefold #1) Released: March 19, 2015 Erotic Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I accepted this review request because the author mentioned this: Although the trilogy eventually involves m/f/m and m/m, this part is m/f and includes voyeurism.

Not deep, but dirty Continue Reading
Review: Pucked by Helena Hunting

This book not only made me laugh, a lot, but it turns into a wonderful, sweet and VERY DIRTY romance. The hero is a little awkward Continue Reading
