A Hometown Boy by Janice Kay Johnson Contemporary Romance January 2, 2013 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi It’s unfortunate this book is being released right after the tragedy in Newtown, CT because there are many similarities. In this book, a mentally disturbed man, steals his mother’s guns and goes on a shooting spree, killing seven adults and himself in the small town he lives in. I feel like I have to note this, because some may find this upsetting. I should also note, this Continue Reading

Review: The Other Side of Us by Sarah Mayberry
The Other Side of Us by Sarah Mayberry Contemporary Romance January 2, 2013 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi I wanted to read this book for a few reasons. First it’s by Sarah Mayberry and I really enjoy her voice. But I also heard it had a cranky, reclusive heroine. Usually we only get cranky heroes so this really intrigued me. Mackenzie has good reasons to be in a bad mood too. About a year ago, while driving to a production site (she is a tv producer) she had a very bad accident, Continue Reading

Review: What Chris Wants by Lori Foster
What Chris Wants by Lori Foster (Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor #4.5) January 1, 2013 M/M Novella HQN I am a huge fan of Lori Foster. I loved this series and looked forward to each additional book as they were released. Throughout each of the books we got to know a character named Chris Chapey and we fell in love him. So when I found out that the author planned to release a novella giving us Chris’s story, I was overjoyed. Chris may have come off as laid back in his too long hair, Continue Reading
