Armed & Dangerous by Abigail Roux (Cut & Run #5) M/M Romantic Suspense May 18, 2012 Dreamspinner Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: Glock, paper, scissors. I win. Before I get into this review, let me first say it might not be the most objective review ever. I love this series. Ty and Zane are two of my favorite characters ever. I could read about them sitting on the couch and probably love the book. Of course that being said, there is something about the writing in Continue Reading

Review: Barefoot in the Sand by Roxanne St. Claire
Barefoot in the Sand by Roxanne St. Clair (Barefoot Bay #1) Contemporary Romance May 1, 2012 Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “How’d it go with the big stud? That’s an architectural term, you know.” I believe this book is the first foray into contemporary romance for Roxanne St. Claire. I saw Nicole tweet that this book has a very "Ford-esque” (Ford from Jill Shalvis’s Lucky Harbor series) feel, and when someone compares a book to my beloved Ford, I pay Continue Reading

Chase In Shadow by Amy Lane M/M Romance February 24, 2012 Dreamspinner Press Reviewed by Helyce This story begins with Chase at a monumental turning point in his life: Live or Die.

At 6, he comes home to find his mother dead in the tub. She took her own life by slitting her wrists. If that wasn’t enough, his own father blames him for her Continue Reading
Review: Nadia Knows Best by Jill Mansell
Nadia Knows Best by Jill Mansell Contemporary Romance May 1, 2012, Reissue Sourcebooks Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “ We’re saved. We shan’t have to eat either, that’s a relief. “ First off, I’d like to lodge a small complaint. Nothing in the write up indicated this was a reissue (first released in 2003). I don’t mind reissues but please, let the readers know this. I’d also like to add that I really feel Ms. Mansell’s writing has matured greatly since this was first published. Continue Reading
