The Dimple Strikes Back by Lucy Woodhull (Samantha Lytton #2) Contemporary Romance Released: December 20, 2013 Totally Bound Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read The Dimple of Doom and I laughed and laughed, and laughed some more. So I eagerly grabbed the sequel ( I strongly recommend you read these in order) The Dimple Strikes Back made me a laugh too, but I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as the first one. In this book, Samantha has gone from wanna be actress, to making it in the Continue Reading

Review: Shoreline Drive by Lily Everett
Shoreline Drive by Lily Everett (Sanctuary Island #2) Released: January 28, 2014 Contemporary Romance St. Martin’s Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read Sanctuary Island, the first book in this series and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Burn For Me by Cynthia Eden (Phoenix Fire #1) Paranormal Romance January 28, 2014 Brava Reviewed by Helyce Goodreads Blurb: Eve Bradley was undercover looking for a story, not a cause. But something about the man they called Subject Thirteen got her involved. The scientists said he was a devil, and they had a decent case: Terrifying power. A bad attitude. And looks that could lead anyone to sin. Cain O'Connor knows the minute he catches her candy scent that Eve could drive him Continue Reading
Review: When the Rogue Returns by Sabrina Jeffries
When the Rogue Returns by Sabrina Jeffries (The Duke's Men #2) Released: January 21, 2014 Historical Romance Pocket Reviewed by May His Isa had been young and naïve and real. It was one of the things he’d liked about her – that she was so practical. That she hadn’t looked down her nose at him. This Isa, with her beaded reticule and her ladylike manner and her rigid posture, wouldn’t have given an uncouth young soldier the time of day years ago. Worse yet, she was even more beautiful Continue Reading
Review: Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost (Night Huntress #7) Released: January 28, 2014 Urban Fantasy Avon Reviewed by Mandi The final Cat & Bones book – I’m sad this is the end because I do love these characters, but to be honest the past couple books have only been okay for me. I still remember starting this series and thinking how incredible the world and these characters are. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail with this book but I do have a few thoughts. This book starts Continue Reading
