Whether beloved fiancée or husband, girlfriend or your first love, one of the fastest ways to have me losing respect for a love story is by picking apart a dead person’s relationship with your current leading man or lady. Now I have no problem with stories where there is no love lost for a deceased person, I am specifically talking about stories where we have a second chance at love. While I understand it could be hard to write a hero where you have a leading character who has already Continue Reading
Review: Kentucky Home by Sarah Title
Kentucky Home by Sarah Title April 18, 2013 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi When I received this review request I first noticed Sarah Title is a debut author, which I am always eager to try and then the horses on the cover drew me in. Giddy up. This one very pleasantly surprised me. When it first starts we meet Luke, who is the hero’s brother. Luke left his family’s Kentucky horse farm to move to DC and explore other adventures. He met Mallory at a business Continue Reading

Margaret River – A Perfect Place to Get Lost Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is the most remote city in the world, at the southern end of the biggest state in Australia. Even further south, tucked away at the far southern toe of the state, inside a national park, is a small former timber-town; Margaret River. Because hardly anyone ever goes to Perth unless they actually have to – business, or family, usually – most of what Western Australia has to offer goes completely Continue Reading

Review: After Hours by Cara McKenna
After Hours by Cara McKenna April 16, 2013 Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi I never know what to expect from Cara McKenna (or her Meg Maguire pen name), which is why I always have my eye out for a new release. They don’t always work for me, but when they do they really work for me. She takes chances and seems to push the envelope with her characters and the situations she places them in. Her latest, After Hours takes place at a dangerous psych ward. I really Continue Reading
Review: Real by Katy Evans
Real by Katy Evans (Real, Raw & Ripped #1) Contemporary Romance April 8, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I had heard some good buzz about this book on Twitter and the blurb definitely caught my eye so when the author offered this book for review, I grabbed it. There is something about a boxing hero that makes me weak. Especially a dirty talking, broken, dark boxing hero. And as our story starts, Remington is all of that. Having been banned from professional boxing for Continue Reading
Review: The Proposition by Jennifer Lyon
The Proposition by Jennifer Lyon (The Plus One Chronicles #1) February 22, 2013 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi By all accounts I should not have accepted this book for review. First, it’s book one in a trilogy and I’m not a fan of this new trend in drawing out a couple’s story into three parts. Also the hero is a billionaire, and besides Gideon Cross, it’s rare that a billionaire hero works for me (mostly because they are assholes). But, I’ve read Jennifer Continue Reading

Review: The Stillness of You by Julie Bale
The Stillness Of You (Beautifully Damaged #1) by Julie Bale New Adult March 12, 2013 Self Published Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “Ben Lancaster was going to break me and I didn’t care. I didn’t care at all “ The Stillness of you is a raw, emotional, turbulent, and honest contemporary romance that addresses mental illness and the stigma that unfortunately follows it. Well written with a smooth storyline, well plotted conflicts, and some smoking hot romance. Strong characters Continue Reading
