Midnight Vengeance by Lisa Marie Rice (Midnight #4) Released: August 18, 2014 Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I'm a fan of Lisa Marie Rice's voice - she writes very over the top alpha men who fall to the feet of the heroine.

He is a bad ass, who gets a lot of boners when he looks upon a friend of his boss's Continue Reading

Risky Business by Melissa Cutler (Bomb Squad #1) Released: August 19, 2014 Contemporary Romance Intermix Reviewed by Mandi I went through a lot of emotions while reading Risky Business.

First let me say, I wouldn't really call this a hockey romance book. Theo plays on an adult hockey league outside of Buffalo for wounded veterans. While we witness a few of Continue Reading
