By May. The other day I was shopping for books based on some recommended “must read” authors that I’ve yet to try, and I only purchased one book from the more than 40 books that the six authors I was looking into had written. I found authors with backlists that are unavailable for kindle (and out of print/very expensive for paper copy), authors with a backlist that is priced at $10-$15 for kindle versions of older books, and authors who had no inexpensive options for any of their titles. I Continue Reading

Review: Trust In Me by Skye Warren
Trust in Me by Skye Warren (Dark Erotica #2) Erotic Contemporary/Erotica February 14, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I’m very attracted to books that are dark, disturbing and erotic and my friend Sophia knows this, so when she heard about Trust in Me, I ended up with a gift on my Kindle. The book starts with a note from the author in which she states, “I must warn you that this is a disturbing tale, one that starts dark and gets darker.” She goes on to warn of nonconsensual Continue Reading

Review: Sweet Deception by Heather Snow
Sweet Deception by Heather Snow (Veiled Seduction #2) Historical Romance August 7, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by May “I may not agree with your assumptions, but it is clear you strongly believe the maid is in danger. If there is a chance you are correct, I would like to do what I can.” A huff of exasperation escaped her lips, a gesture Derick took to mean she didn’t think too highly of him or his offer. He allowed a half-cynical smile to curve his lips. What did he care if Miss Emma Continue Reading
Review: Mark and Tony by LB Gregg
Mark and Tony by LB Gregg (Men of Smithfield #1) Contemporary Romance August 6, 2012 (re-release) Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi This book is a revised and re-edited version of a book previously titled Gobsmacked. I read it a couple of years ago, and I enjoyed it the second time around just as much. LB Gregg now has it rereleasing with Carina Press, and I couldn’t be happier that people get another chance to read her Men of Smithfield. This one still remains my favorite. Mark Meehan Continue Reading

Review: Stars & Stripes by Abigail Roux
Stars & Stripes by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #6) M/M Romantic Suspense August 13, 2012 Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Oh Jesus Ty. Are you okay?” Ty closed his eyes again. He tried to speak, lips barely moving. “What?” Zane asked as he leaned closer. “I hate Texas.” If I had to write a one sentence review of this book, I’d probably say, “Ty wears a Stetson while doing dirty deeds to Zane.” Is there really anything else you need to know? Seriously, some hot Continue Reading
