Stripped by Edie Harris (City2City #1) Released: September 17, 2013 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi So listen up. Not too long ago I read Wild Burn, a western by Edie Harris that I really enjoyed. Then she came out with The Corrupt Comte, an erotic historical that I gobbled up and made everyone read. Not long after she sent me Stripped, a contemporary book about an actor and a make-up artist. I thought, geez, will I like this? I’m not always super keen on Continue Reading

Review: The Bridge by Rebecca Rogers Maher
The Bridge by Rebecca Rogers Maher Released: September 16, 2013 Contemporary Novella Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Awhile ago I read Hurricane Lily by Rebecca Maher, and I remember thinking that this author has a really good voice. So when she asked me to review The Bridge, even though the blurb gave me chills, I had to accept. The Bridge is a very powerful novella. It’s profoundly sad, yet hopeful and romantic. I wasn’t even sure if someone could write a believable story Continue Reading
Review: Covet by Tracey Garvis Graves
Covet by Tracey Garvis Graves Contemporary Romance/Women’s Fic Released: September 17, 2013 Dutton Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read On the Island and it really surprised me. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy a young man who falls for his tutor after crashing onto an deserted island. But Tracey Garvis Graves made it work really well. So when Covet appeared in my mailbox, even though it was labeled as women’s fic, I thought I’d give it a try as I crave books with ‘marriage in trouble’ Continue Reading

Review: Requiem For The Dead by Kelly Meding

Review: All of You by Christina Lee
All of You by Christina Lee Released: September 17, 2013 New Adult Penguin Reviewed by Mandi I was drawn to this book because the hero is a virgin and the heroine is more promiscuous. I love this, or at least the idea of this because usually those roles are reversed. Even better, Avery our heroine, doesn’t walk around with shame or guilt for behavior. She is your average college student who has friends with benefits and is happy. When she meets Bennett at a party and can’t get Continue Reading
