Review: Deep Desires by Charlotte Stein
Deep Desires by Charlotte Stein Erotic Contemporary, Novella Released: September 27, 2012 Harper Collins Reviewed by Mandi I think Charlotte Stein has one of the best voices in erotic romance. I always find her heroines so intriguing, so sexually curious, teasing and flirty, and many times they take the reins and show the hero what can be between them. This book is darker though and I really like it. Abbie works as a grocery store clerk and lives in an apartment building called Continue Reading
Review: Run the Risk by Lori Foster
Run The Risk by Lori Foster (Love Undercover #1) Contemporary Romance September 25, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Helyce I am a big fan of Lori Foster’s writing style. Her contemporaries are always written with just the right amount of everything I enjoy to make the story grab me from the first page, so much so that I do not want to put it down. Run The Risk starts her new Love Undercover series and introduces us to the leading men who will each get a book. Logan Riske is undercover Continue Reading
Review: Close Enough to Touch by Victoria Dahl
Close Enough to Touch by Victoria Dahl August 28, 2012 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi I read this book and then let it sit for a few days before I wrote the review because I just couldn’t figure out my feelings for this one. Victoria Dahl gives us a very prickly heroine. Grace is a make-up artist from Hollywood. After getting fired while on set of a movie, and then having a very bad break up with a boyfriend that literally leaves her penniless, she gets in the Continue Reading

Review: A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant
A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant Historical Romance December 27, 2011 Bantam Reviewed by Mandi A Lady Awakened is the debut book by Cecilia Grant, and I'm in love with this author's voice. It is hard to explain why I love her style of writing so much, but as I read I didn't want to miss a single word. It is a similar reading experience as to when I read Joanna Bourne books. The way she creates her sentences and the way she creates such small moments that end up so powerful really Continue Reading

Heartstrings and Diamond Rings by Jane Graves Contemporary Romance September 27, 2011 Reviewed by May Favorite Quote: “As God is my witness, the man wants nothing to do with penises, his or anyone else’s, ever again. See he told me he’s always felt that penises were very threatening. Even his own. Every time he get an erection-“ “Alison!” Brandon said “You want to spare me here? Just a little?” “Hey, all you have to do is hear about it. I had to live through it.” Alison Continue Reading
