Review: Escape From the Harem (Oriental Affairs Book 1) by Daria Charon Erotic Romance Released: November 1, 2014 Self Published Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "...Marry me at last?" The relief made Kate feel weak at the knees. "So that I can be the mother of your children? If that is the case, I'll probably never find out what a condom is." This is either going to be epic....or horrible....my thoughts as I began this novel. I expected something different, knew it would Continue Reading

Heart by Garrett Leigh M/M Romance October 27, 2014 Dreamspinner Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: “I just want to be where you are.” Garrett Leigh has fast become my crack for M/M romance with pain and angst to the Nth degree. Her stories pull me in, drag me down, break my heart, make me cry and then slowly put it all back together. She never fails to bring forth characters, so very broken, that you wish you could somehow crawl into the book so that you can hold them and love Continue Reading
