Review: Miracle in New Hope by Kaki Warner
Miracle in New Hope by Kaki Warner December 11, 2012 Western Historical Novella Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I love, love, love Kaki Warner’s voice. Both of her previous western trilogies have been a big hit with me. Even though this novella has a ghost-type set-up, which I do not like in my otherwise ‘normal’ world books, I decided to try it because I enjoy this author so much. Set in the 1870’s, Daniel Hobart lives in a small Rockies Mountain town. He lost his wife and child Continue Reading

What genre will be red hot in 2013?
By May. Paranormal Romance bottomed out a while back for me, it’s been a long time since I read an amazing one, and any I did really like were part of a long-established series. At the start of 2012, historical romance was my #1 producer of amazing reads. As we wind down 2012, I have read a slew of forgettable, repetitive, nothing special, absolute waste of my time historical romances which has me wondering: What genre is going to dominate 2013? I have no idea, and thus the reason Continue Reading

Drive me Wild by Christine Warren (The Others #7) November 27, 2012 Paranormal Romance St. Martins Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read the previous book, On the Prowl which featured a marriage of convenience and a super alpha tiger shifter. I couldn’t resist and I ended up enjoying it. Drive me Wild features Rafael de Santos, the head of The Others council, and a very arrogant, alpha jaguar shifter. If you like snarly, possessive, arrogant alphas, this one will work well Continue Reading
