Let’s Discuss: Lover at Last by J.R. Ward
Please note!! There are spoilers below. If you do not want to be spoiled, I wrote a spoiler-free review of Lover at Last for USA Today. JR Ward has been torturing us for years with Blay and Qhuinn. While this is my favorite series, I also tend to not love and squee over every book. Ward tends to have 1,245 different storylines and POVs in each book, sometimes distracting away from the main H/H. However – while yes we get lots of different side stories, I was very happy with Blay and Continue Reading
Review: Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost
Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost (Night Prince #2) March 26, 2013 Paranormal Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I forgive you, but only because you said please.” Smartass I thought. Then I groaned at the instant chorus of “Please!” mixed with cries for release from Vlad’s prisoners. No wonder he got so sick of the world. “I’m only merciful to one person a day,” he threw over his shoulder. “As the saying goes, today isn’t your day and tomorrow doesn’t look good, Continue Reading
Review: Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston
Wolf With Benefits by Shelly Laurenston (Pride #8) Paranormal Romance March 26, 2013 Brava Reviewed by May The hybrid studied the jackal for several long seconds before he nodded. “Schedules, I understand.” Then he looked down at Reece and roared in his face, “Schedules! Learn the concept!” I must begin this review by stating that Mr. Novikov (aka my favorite character in this series) got a good amount of page time and scenes – which delighted me endlessly. I simply adore him because he Continue Reading

Joint Review: Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep
Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #8) Releases: March 26, 2013 Urban Fantasy Pocket Reviewed by Tori and May Red is definitely my color. Good thing, because in my line of work, I end up wearing it a lot. Most people shy away from blood, but for an assassin like me— Gin Blanco, aka the Spider—it’s just part of the job. Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially when I’m attending the biggest gala event of the summer at Briartop, Ashland’s fanciest art Continue Reading
