Flying by Megan Hart Releases: April 29, 2014 Erotic Contemporary Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Sometimes Megan Hart writes books that make me have all the feels - for example here and here. And sometimes she writes books that don't work for me. Flying gave me feels, but annoyed me a little bit too. But overall I'm glad I read it. I crave this author's voice and it satisfied me this time. Stella's ex-husband is the CEO of an airline, and as part of the divorce settlement, she gets free Continue Reading

Still Life With Strings by L.H. Cosway Released: March 24, 2014 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: My sophisticated concert violinist has a dirty mouth, and it thrills me. It was just an ordinary night. He didn't think anything extraordinary would happen. Until it did. Turning a corner onto the bustling night time street, he saw her all in blue. The woman from his painting was a living, breathing thing...and she was so completely Continue Reading

Review: Love in Straight Sets by Rebecca Crowley
Love in Straight Sets by Rebecca Crowley Contemporary Romance Released: April 14, 2014 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi This book features a very insecure heroine who is unlikable in my opinion. I tried to feel for her and her insecurities, but I never truly got there. Regan Hunter has worked hard and mostly on her own to make it to the professional tennis level. She is a star, and known for pushing coaches away. Her manager knows she is close to winning a big tournament, but she needs Continue Reading
