Review: Dust of Snow by Indra Vaughn
Dust of Snow by Indra Vaughn M/M Contemporary Romance Released: December 9, 2014 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi For some reason, when this review request came my way, the blurb really caught my attention: 'T is the season. Greg's nights are silent and his bells don't jingle. This time last year his boyfriend broke up with him, and he's determined to get through these holidays with only minor bruising. So what if he lives with a cat and his best friend is his mother? Peace and Continue Reading
Review: Heart by Garrett Leigh
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

Review: Semi-Charmed by Isabel Jordan
Semi-Charmed by Isabel Jordan August 29, 2014 Paranormal Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I guess you could say I was semi-charmed by this book. The hero and heroine were intriguing and engaging, but this book had an overall rushed feel to it and a disappointing resolution with the bad guy. While it's an okay paranormal romance, it could have been better. Harper Hall gets premonitions - visions of crimes as they are happening, which greatly help the police in some cases. She Continue Reading
Review: Act of Mercy by Mandy M. Roth
Act of Mercy by Mandy M Roth March 2014 Paranormal Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Duke and his buddies are Paranormal and Security Intelligence (PSI) Operatives, kind of like cia/navy seals of the paranormal world. They have been alive for centuries. Duke is a lycan, but others in his unit are lion shifters or other animal shifters. There are also vampires and fae that roam this world, all a secret to the humans. We don't really dive too deep into world building in this one, so I Continue Reading
Review: Miles from Kara by Melissa West
Miles from Kara by Melissa West (Charleston Haven #2) Released: December 2, 2014 New Adult Penguin Intermix Reviewed by Mandi I expected this book to be darker than it was based on the blurb. Instead, I think this book is written for a younger audience than my 36 years. I felt like I was reading about a very immature heroine who eventually got on my nerves so much that I disliked this book. Kara Marcus got pregnant at 16 and her mom dragged her to the doctor to have an abortion, never giving Continue Reading
