Skybound by Aleksandr Voinov Historical m/m romance (Novella) Released: August 20, 2012 Riptide Reviewed by Mandi I discovered Aleksandr Voinov this year after I read and devoured his Dark Soul series. I then went on to read Part One (currently reading Part Two – it is thousands of pages) of his very dark, Special Forces (free on his website, and I reiterate, dark) and loved.

Watch #3) Romantic Suspense Released: June 21, 2011 Harleqiun Reviewed by May, who decided to review this because it won the RITA for best contemporary series: suspense. “Gahh,” he grunted as he shoved away from her. “Using sex won’t work for this mission.

Let’s Talk Blogging and Your Website

When Mandi was kind enough to open the blog to me, one of the things she told me she’d love a post on was what publishers (and authors) would love to see on review sites. I thought that was an awesome idea myself, because I do a lot of legwork for Continue Reading
