Review: Bad Attitude by K.A. Mitchell
Bad Attitude by K.A. Mitchell (Bad in Baltimore #3) M/M Contemporary Romance April 23, 2013 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi I’m a K.A. Mitchell fangirl and I’ll proudly say that.

Play With Me by Alisha Rai (Bedroom Games #1) Erotic Contemporary Romance April 2, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This scene summarizes the romance quite well in this book: Before she could marshal her thoughts to answer, he slapped her nipple again. She cried out, and he paused. “Hurt?” “Yes.” Wyatt returned to working the nipples with his fingers, both soothing and inflaming the sting. “Too much?” She narrowed her eyes at him. “Shut up and spank my tits, Continue Reading
