Shut Up and Read This Book!
By May. Book recommendations are a funny thing, as you can’t always guess what a person will love or what detail they might find so off-putting that they end up hating the book and possibly questioning your judgment. It’s hard to say what might work for someone, even if they are your friend and you know what they generally like. That said, I’ve been given a lot of recommendations over the years, a few of them strong/demanding enough that I actually felt I was instructed I must read! Now, Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday–Beauty Series by Skye Warren
I love the beauty and the beast trope. Something about a scarred, tortured hero and the woman who makes him feel whole. I also am always quite intrigued by Skye Warren’s voice. She usually writes very dark erotica, but this series is lighter. This will be a four book series, but I’ve only read the first two. I believe book three releases this week. First let me say these are VERY short. Beauty Touched the Beast is less than 30 pages I believe. I read it long ago when it was a free read on Continue Reading

Review: Flirting With Disaster by Ruthie Knox
Flirting With Disaster by Ruthie Knox (Camelot #3) June 10, 2013 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: He picked her up. Picked her up and carried her, as if she were Scarlett O’Hara and he were Rhett Butler, if Rhett had been the kind of guy to go down on Scarlett in a doorway. Which, let’s be honest, he probably was. When I heard the hero in this book had a stutter, I got excited. What is it about a stuttering hero that makes me so giddy? I’m not sure but Continue Reading
