Guest Review: Celebrity in Death by J.D. Robb
Celebrity in Death by J.D. Robb (In Death #34) Futuristic Romantic Suspense February 21, 2012 Hardcover Our Roarke stalker expert, Claire is back with another “In Death” review. Take it away, Claire!

It’s a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin. Not as Continue Reading

Karli Lane is the only fairy left on the Continue Reading
A DNF Wrap-Up
May and Mandi have had a few DNF’s (Did Not Finish) recently. Here is a recap: Lucky Penny by Catherine Anderson Reviewed by May The heroine is a single ‘mom’ (she cares for her orphaned niece), and apparently she would be unable to find work unless she pretends she is married and her husband out searching for gold in Colorado. I would have to think orphaned children were more common back then, and I just can’t figure out how taking care of your niece would be such a social Continue Reading

Love is a Battlefield by Tamara Morgan (Games of Love #1) Contemporary Romance February 14, 2012 Samhain Reviewed by May Favorite Quote: Drinking beer, playing with their balls and pitching tents.

Smex Scene Sunday
As his hands roamed over Cavin’s back, his hips, his firm arse, Benjamin reveled in the blunt honesty of their kiss. The stark unbridled lust, the voracious need. Nothing tempered. Nothing held back. Why the hell had he waited so long to experience this? Bloody fool. Cavin’s hand fisted in Benjamin’s hair to tug his head back, breaking the kiss. Teeth nipped at his bottom lip. A tongue licked up from his chin. As it made to pass his lips, Benjamin captured Cavin’s tongue and sucked on the Continue Reading

Review: Something About Witches by Joey W. Hill
Something About Witches by Joey W. Hill (Arcane Shot #1) Paranormal Romance February 7, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “No man should look that good in a pair of jeans,” Linda noted. “Temptation and sin never come in ugly packaging,” Ruby returned, but she watched right along with her until he disappeared into the house. I’ve read a few of Joey W. Hill’s Vampire Queen series and really liked the darker, erotic BDSM feel to them. Something About Witches is actually Continue Reading
