Review: Let It Be Me by Kate Noble
Let it be Me by Kate Noble April 2, 2013 Historical Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I’m a big fan of Kate Noble’s books, and Let It Be Me brings in a fresh, sweet, romance book set it Venice. Bridget has great talent playing the piano although now she struggles with an acute case of stage fright. Nonetheless, music is in her blood, and the piano is her passion. Years ago she impressed Italian composer Vincenzo Carpenini when he visited at her parents house. In present day, Continue Reading
Review: Nautier and Wilder by Lora Leigh and Jaci Burton
Nautier and Wilder by Lora Leigh and Jaci Burton (Nauti #7-Wild Riders #6) Contemporary Romance Duology April 2, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce Nauti Siren by Lora Leigh Piper Mackay is so done with her overbearing and over protective brother Dawg and her cousins Rowdy and Natches. If they would just let up a little, she wouldn’t feel so suffocated in her day to day life. They are never far, monitoring her and her sisters in every minute detail. She just wants a little space to Continue Reading
Review: Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux
Touch & Geaux by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #7) April 1, 2013 M/M Romantic Suspense Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “You’re the best partner I could have asked for.” I always like to make the disclaimer when I write these reviews that I’m a fangirl for this series. Meaning – I’m so incredibly invested in Ty and Zane (they are my favorite characters in all of romance) that my reviews of these books are not necessarily objective. Things that may annoy others or not work Continue Reading
A Chat with Alex Hughes *Giveaway*
Earlier today I reviewed Sharp, the second book in Alex Hughes Mindspace Investigative series. Now she is here for a chat! Who is Alex Hughes? Give us the low down. Alex Hughes is a total nerd, a history major, a science geek, a foodie, a good friend, and a lot of fun. As a writer, she loves madness, adventure, strange worlds and strange people. She took ballet for years growing up, she read DragonFlight at age thirteen, she’s mad for neuroscience, and she loves to cook and to eat a ridiculous Continue Reading
Review: Sharp by Alex Hughes
Sharp by Alex Hughes (Mindspace Investigation #2) April 2, 2013 Futuristic Suspense Roc Reviewed by Mandi Going by the number of Goodreads and Amazon reviews for this series, I say – this is the best series you are not reading. It’s like JD Robb meets Jim Butcher. Set in the future, with a strong murder-mystery suspense element, the world is the result of a Tech war, where millions died and technology can no longer be trusted. Our hero, Adam is a very high-level telepath who Continue Reading
Review: Love Irresistibly by Julie James
Love Irresistibly by Julie James (FBI/US Attorney #4) April 2, 2013 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Thank God I’m not wearing the red high heels today,” she said. “In two minutes you’ll be wearing nothing,” he said in a low voice. Well, then. Julie James puts out one book a year and the wait is torturous but I’d wait even longer if it means she will continue to put consistent high quality romance books. She writes smart, mature Continue Reading
Reviews: Strangers on a Train Collection
A while ago, Ruthie Knox, Meg Maguire, Serena Bell, Donna Cummings and Samantha Hunter were on Twitter admiring a tumblr devoted to hot men on trains and the idea for the collection came to be. Earlier today I reviewed Thank You for Riding by Meg Maguire. Now I review the other four stories. All can be purchased separately and they are not related to one another. Big Boy by Ruthie Knox Mandy’s life has gone into an upheaval in the past year after her sister and her family were killed by a Continue Reading
Strangers On a Train Series–a Chat with Meg Maguire *Giveaway*
Who is Meg Maguire? Give us the low down. Oh, jeez… She’s a sort of medium-sized woman who lives north of Boston and writes contemporary romances. And longs to squeeze fat little birds (though not hard enough to damage them.) She’s also Cara McKenna’s slightly less filthy conjoined author-twin. Whose characters are slightly less kinky and usually slightly less crazy. But only usually. Strangers on a train is a five-book series featuring not only yourself but Ruthie Knox, Samantha Continue Reading
