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
Review: Thank You For Riding by Meg Maguire
Thank You For Riding by Meg Maguire April 2, 2013 Contemporary Novella Samhain Reviewed by Mandi Note: Thank you for Riding is one of five novellas in the Strangers on a Train collection out today. It is a very strong and well done collection. I’ll be posting reviews on the other four stories later today. This is the most adorable novella ever. Oh the cuteness! While giving blood, Caitlin notices a very cute guy come in. He is a big, built guy, wearing paint-splattered jeans Continue Reading
Review: The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After by Julia Quinn
The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After by Julia Quinn Historical Romance April 2, 2013 Avon Reviewed by May Happily Ever After is a series of second epilogues for the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn. Three of these are new material (the other six were previously available/published), and this is the first time the complete collection has been made available. Each has a definite subject and for fans that have read (and re-read) the series and call it a favorite this may be of interest, Continue Reading
Review: Lush by Lauren Dane
Lush by Lauren Dane (Delicious #3) Contemporary Romance April 2, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: “I’d really like to get up in what you’ve got, Mary Whaley.” Damien Hurley is a rock star in every sense of the word. He’s lived this life since he was just out of high school and he’s enjoyed all the perks that come with this lifestyle. He’s got a typical bad boy reputation and he makes no apologies for it. Then he meets Mary Whaley. She’s like no other woman he’s ever Continue Reading
