Review: Misfits by Garrett Leigh
Misfits by Garrett Leigh Released: March 16, 2015 M/M/M Romance Riptide Reviewed by Mandi I haven't read a good male/male and oh yeah - one more male book in a while. I like this author's voice - there is a decent amount of sex and it kind of follows the predictable pattern of two of the guys hitting it off, then the third guy comes in, and then all three have hot sex. But there is more than sex to this story and I believed in the three-way HEA at the end. Tom and Cass (psst - Cass Continue Reading
Giveaway: Nowhere Ranch by Heidi Cullinan
Love will grow through the cracks you leave open. Ranch hand Roe Davis absolutely never mixes business with pleasure—until he runs into his boss, Travis Loving, at the only gay bar within two hundred miles.

As long as they’re both clear this is sex on the side, no relationship, no interfering with the job, they could make it work. Shut out Continue Reading

Review: Trust the Focus by Megan Erickson
Trust the Focus by Megan Erickson (In Focus #1) Released: March 17, 2015 New Adult M/M Romance Intermix Reviewed by Mandi I'm always on the lookout for a well done new adult book and now I can add Megan Erickson to the list. Actually, who cares if it's even new adult - a well done romance is a well done romance and Trust the Focus gave me all kinds of swoony romance feelings. Plus - the romance takes place on a road trip, in an RV across the country. This makes me happy. Justin and Continue Reading

Review: Figure of Speech by Dana Marie Bell
Figure of Speech (Halle Shifters #4) by Dana Marie Bell Paranormal Romance Released March 3, 2015 Samhain Publishing Reviewed by Sheena Differently-abled heroes and heroines have been a long under-served population in romantic fiction. I was pleased to see that in Figure of Speech, the heroine, Chloe, has a speech impediment of sorts, the result of a brutal, near fatal attack she endured, barely escaping with her life. Bravely deciding to move forward and reclaim her life, she is Continue Reading
