Review: Beyond Limits by Laura Griffin

January 29, 2015 by Mandi 1 Comment

Beyond Limits by Laura Griffin (Tracers #8) Released: January 27, 2015 Romantic Suspense Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi Laura Griffin can write really good suspense. In previous books I've read, her bad guys are BAD. Her heroes and heroines are smart and the books are always action-packed. My one complaint has always been the lack of romance. There is always a HEA, but the road to romance is not always super sexy or detailed. I've actually skipped her last couple because reviews have Continue Reading

She shivered. "Oh, God, if you growl like that..." "Unzip it," he growled.  Oh that growl - I think I could actually hear Matt growling all throughout this book. The start of a new series from Laura Florand, she moves out of the kitchens and into the valley of France. Matt is heir to Continue Reading

Feature: Fire Me Up by Kimberly Kincaid

January 27, 2015 by Mandi 8 Comments

  Teagan O’Malley can handle a crisis. She’s a paramedic, it’s her job. But she never expected to land in the kitchen of her father’s pub, with no notice, no cash, and no room for error. The kitchen is not her favorite place. Lucky for her, she just scraped a bad-boy chef off the pavement after a motorcycle accident—and something about him says he can turn up the heat in more ways than one. Adrian Holt has had a rough few years, and he’s not eager to get tangled up in anything more Continue Reading

January 27, 2015 by Sheena 2 Comments

The Originals: The Rise (The Originals # 1) by Julie Plec Paranormal Romance Released: January 27, 2015 Harlequin Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "My blood is not available for purchase or trade,"  Elijah answered stiffly.  And you couldn't afford it if it were." [In your face asshat!] I have never read the Vampire Diaries and I have never seen The Originals television show and I was intrigued that the novel is a spin from the television show.
