10. I’m completely obsessed with the Lizzie Bennett Diary videos. Beyond obsessed. Unfamiliar? They are a modern adaption of Pride & Prejudice told in Vlog style. Completely adorable and they capture the book so well. Darcy and his awkward flirting makes me die swooning. There are currently 86 episodes and each one is 3-4 minutes long. We are getting towards the end, as Wickham and Lydia’s drama is now unfolding. *bites lip* This above gif make me smile so much. Yes Darcy – Continue Reading
Review: Going Under by Lauren Dane
Going Under by Lauren Dane (Bound by Magick #3) February 5, 2013 Paranormal Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I recently discovered this series and read the first two books and really enjoyed them. Lauren Dane has created a really nice paranormal world mostly filled with witches, but other supernaturals as well. While each book features a new hero and heroine, the world has been building up the past two books. This book really dives into what would happen if witches were Continue Reading
Review: Sold to the Enemy by Sarah Morgan
Sold to the Enemy by Sarah Morgan January 22, 2013 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi From the outside looking in, Selene Antaxos appears to have the perfect life. Rich, lives on an island with a wealthy father, many think she is living the dream. But inside this dream is a scary reality. Her father is extremely over-protective and controlling. To the point that Selene and her mother are never allowed to leave the house (except for approved public appearances). Continue Reading
Romancing the Novel
By May. Text from May to Mandi: Romancing the Stone is on TV! YAY! Hey – do you think I can manage to write an article about it and relate it to romance novels somehow? If Romancing the Stone comes on TV as I flick through channels you can bet I will be watching it. It is cheesy, old, and downright silly. But most importantly, it totally works. The quiet romance writer meets bad boy while trying to save her sister from men in Columbia comedy/action/romance is well, a classic! Seeing as how Continue Reading

DNF Review: Rush by Maya Banks
Rush by Maya Banks (Breathless #1) Erotic Contemporary February 5, 2013 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Maya Banks has a new trilogy releasing following three billionaires who run swanky hotels. Although I’m a little tired of the billionaire hero, the blurbs intrigued me so I thought I’d give book one, Rush a try. Let me say this – sometimes having an asshole hero can be fun. Take Tack for example (Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley). He is initially rude to the heroine, arrogant, Continue Reading
Review: One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean
One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean (The Rules of Scoundrels #2) January 29, 2013 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi I found the set-up in the beginning of this book to be so far-fetched that I could not buy into it, therefore setting a frustrating tone for this book. Pippa is engaged to be married to an Earl. It is not a love match, rather she is the last of her sisters to get married and her father thinks she will do well by this man. He is a kind man, but Continue Reading

Concealed Desire Book Tour
Author Eden Summers is here today to talk about: Why my male protagonists are better than real men. 1. My men have more tact when it comes to base desires. There’s no, “Get ya gear off,” or “Why don’t you go get your motor running and I’ll be there to finish you off.” My men would come at you from behind and pull your hair aside with masculine gentleness. Then he’d nuzzle the tender spot below your ear before whispering, “I can’t go another moment without being inside your beautiful body.” Continue Reading
