Review: Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis
Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis (Lucky Harbor #4) May 22, 2012 Contemporary Romance Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoy the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis. The first three books centered around three sisters, each finding love. Now Jill Shalvis turns the attention of the series to three girlfriends, and their quest to help each other in the romance department. We meet Mallory (town good girl), Amy (town bad girl) and Grace (the new one in town), who end up meeting Continue Reading

Review: Make Me by Charlotte Stein
Make Me by Charlotte Stein Erotic M/M/F Contemporary May 17, 2012 Mischief Books Reviewed by Mandi I only recently discovered Charlotte Stein when someone recommended I read Sheltered, which I really enjoyed. When I started to look at her backlist, I realized most of what she has published is erotic, and I’ve found a few that I really liked (Control, for example.) I’m determined to keep current with her new releases because I think she has a great voice. Make Me didn’t quite do it for me Continue Reading
Review: Armed & Dangerous by Abigail Roux
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

Smexy’s Top Ten–May 18th
10. Today’s Top Ten is brought to you by Tom Hardy, who is just bad-ass to the core. According to this research, women have ‘Ovulation Goggles’ that draw us to the bad boys. If it draws me to Tom Hardy, I don’t have a problem. (Thanks H&H for the post!) Who do your Ovulation Goggles draw you to? 9. J.R. Ward released her cover for Rapture, book 4 in her Fallen Angel series. Ummm…where did our sexy fallen angel covers go? I’m not sure about this. I will say, I enjoyed the Continue Reading
