Waiting to be reduced to Sheena-Putty, melted by the heat of the passion that would surely leap from the pages of Lauren Blakely's Melt for Him...and well, let's just say a puddle I did not make. I assure you I sit here in my fully solid form. I didn't melt a smidge! If the title is going to be Melt for Him, dammit I fully Continue Reading
Review: Mind Sweeper by AE Jones
Mind Sweeper by AE Jones (Mind Sweeper #1) Paranormal Romance Released: September 15, 2014 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I love trying debut authors and when I heard this was the 2013 Golden Heart RWA winner (a contest judging authors who have yet to be published), I really wanted to try it. I'm glad I did, as I enjoyed the heroine quite a bit in this one. There were parts of this book that were slow, and the romance could have been much more....romancy, but overall it's a nice start Continue Reading

Smexy Top Ten-September 12, 2014
10. And this is why I heart Christina Dodd so much. Mandi often tweets "Bat Signal" when she needs me. When I mentioned that a peen signal was more our speed, Christina stepped up to the plate and delivered. 9. The internet went insane when rumors flew around claiming Durex was releasing a 'pumpkin spice" flavored condom. Durex claimed pretty quick it was a joke but still...I admit to being a little curious. I think double chocolate soy latte with whip cream and Continue Reading
Review: A Forbidden Rumspringa by Keira Andrews
A Forbidden Rumspringa by Keira Andrews (Gay Amish #1) Released: September, 3, 2014 M/M Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm going to be totally honest and say when I accepted this review request I did it with a little snicker. I've had very bad luck in the past with Amish romances (I've only tried a few) and I just was convinced a male/male Amish romance couldn't work. But Keira Andrews proved me wrong. I really enjoyed this and I'm totally invested in David and Isaac's happy Continue Reading
