Mandi Has a New Favorite Book….
I’ve been in the mood of an erotic contemporary for awhile but was having a hard time finding one. Yesterday I was blog hopping and read an article at Romance Around the Corner about Brie’s take on erotic romance and she happened to mention Broken by Megan Hart where she says, “Broken is one of the most complex and even romantic -in a very unconventional way- romances I have read.” Brie and I have similar tastes in books and I know Helyce, Tori and Sophia (who give me many recs) all love Megan Continue Reading

Here is a little excerpt of some cervix bumping and weeping of the sex… He deepened his penetration, making her whimper as he bumped her cervix, an intentional discomfort. “That won’t happen again. Ever. Say it.” Continue Reading
