The Alpha-Hole Hero. Hot or Not?
A few weeks ago I reviewed Sweetened with a Kiss by Lexxie Callahan and in the review I referred to the hero as an ‘alpha-hole.’ To me, an alpha-hole hero is one that is very alpha and also an asshole. It’s his way or no way (of course the heroine always gets her way at the end) This hero goes above and beyond being arrogant and possessive. I feel an alpha-hole hero can be a believable romantic hero as long as there is proper redemption on his part. To me, an alpha-hole is not necessary a Continue Reading

Review: Masked Cowboy by Sarah M. Anderson
Masked Cowboy by Sarah M. Anderson (Men of the White Sandy #2) August 6, 2013 Contemporary Samhain Reviewed by Mandi I recently read my first Sarah Anderson book (from a different series) and really liked her voice.

DNF Review: In His Command by Rie Warren
In His Command by Rie Warren (Don’t Tell #1) Released: August 6, 2013 Futuristic M/M Forever Reviewed by Mandi I was very interested in reading this book, as I’m all for the big publishers publishing GBLT romance. Unfortunately, this romance did not work for me at all. I actually ended up putting this book down at the 60% mark and not picking it back up again. This book takes place in the future, I believe 2070. There has been The Purge, then The Plague and the vast majority of Continue Reading
