Series: Coming Home #2 Released: October 8, 2012 Military Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read and really enjoyed Jessica Scott’s debut, Because of You. I like military romances and this book was right up my ally. Her latest release, Until There Was You didn’t deliver the same emotional impact as her first. It starts out well as we are introduced to Captain Evan Loehr and Captain Claire Montoya. Evan is a West Point grad and does everything by the books. He Continue Reading

Review: Howl For It by Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden
Released: August 28, 2012 Paranormal Romance Brava Reviewed by May A pair of paranormal romance novellas, each around 150 pages long and each features a wolf shifter, finding true love, and of course trouble with humans. For me the reading experience was very uneven - I adored the one story and merely tolerated the other. Like a Wolf With a Bone by Shelly Laurenston “Are you talking about condoms?” Lord, he looked absolutely mortified. “Yeah. Condoms.” “It’s ok to mention Continue Reading
Review: Hard Core by Jennifer Lowery
Released: October 8, 2012 Romantic Suspense Lyrical Press Reviewed by Mandi I’m always in the mood for a romantic suspense book that features a hero who is a mercenary stuck in the jungle somewhere ready to kill some bad guys. I love a sweaty, bug-bitten hero. And by all accounts, Cristian is pretty hot and gruff. He has been assigned to kill Gavin Ross on an island somewhere in the Caribbean Ocean, he doesn’t know much about him except he is the target, and that is his job. As he Continue Reading

Interview with Jessica Scott
We are happy to have author Jessica Scott with us today to talk about her latest release, Until There Was You. Who is Jessica Scott? Give us the low down. Um, a generally crazy person who should not be allowed near sharp objects let alone leading America's finest? Kidding. I'm just your average tom boy/geek girl all grown up trying to find a place in the world. I have a hard time fitting in and I treasure the few people I consider real friends. I'm more comfortable in a book store than at a Continue Reading
