Review: Baiting the Maid of Honor by Tessa Bailey

June 11, 2014 by Mandi

Baiting the Maid of Honor by Tessa Bailey Released: June 10, 2014 Contemporary Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi Oh Tessa Bailey and your dirty talking heroes. SWAT commander Reed does not let us down in his dirty talking abilities. He flies to Colorado to go to his best friend's wedding. He would support his friends through anything, but a wedding isn't his favorite venue, especially when there is a week of "fun" activities planned. But when he sees a bridesmaid the first night Continue Reading

Review: Unfixable by Tessa Bailey

April 23, 2014 by Mandi

Unfixable by Tessa Bailey Released: April 14, 2014 New Adult Entangled Reviewed by Mandi I believe this is Tessa Bailey's first foray into the New Adult genre. I've enjoyed the heck out of her previous books, yet I have to say I had a little bit of a frowny face when I heard this would be a new adult. I was hoping this wouldn't fall into the typical angsty/moody category, but it did. If you are a fan of this author, you will remember Willa from Bailey's first book, Protecting What's Continue Reading

Top Ten Reasons to read Staking His Claim by Tessa Bailey

February 6, 2014 by Mandi

Blurb: NYPD sniper Matt Donovan is in Hell. Instead of driving his best friend’s little sister home from college, he’s stuck with her roommate—a fresh-faced ray-of-sunshine with a body that makes grown men weep. There’s no way he’ll allow himself to taint the little vixen, no matter how hard she tries to tempt him, so he resigns himself to the longest—and hardest—drive of his life. Matt’s obvious attraction suits grad student Lucy Mason just fine. She had no idea her brother’s best friend was Continue Reading

Top Ten Reasons to read Asking for Trouble by Tessa Bailey

November 26, 2013 by Mandi

“I’m going to kill you,” she whispered. He sat up once more, wrapped her hair around his fist and growled. “Fuck me instead.” Dare I say Tessa Bailey is the Queen of the Dirty Talking Hero? Yes, yes I dare! I really enjoyed this one. Brent Mason is an explosive expert (*good shivers*) or as he says “blower-up of shit” and Hayden Winstead is a heiress who plans parties for charities. Their best friends are in love so they are forced to hang out a lot – and they kind of hate each other. But Continue Reading

Brazen Halloween Blog Tour: Tessa Bailey shares an Original Scene

October 16, 2013 by Mandi

The Lovers Unmasked Anthology just released (read my review here) and Tessa Bailey’s contribution continues Derek and Ginger’s story. There full-length book, Protecting What’s His is really sexy and fun. I like these two, especially Derek’s dirty talking ways. Tessa Bailey is visiting Smexy today to give us an original scene featuring Derek and Ginger. Yay! Ginger wrinkled her nose at the stack of take-out menus fanned out on her desk. At three-months pregnant, she’d gotten used to being Continue Reading

Review: His Risk to Take by Tessa Bailey

May 27, 2013 by Mandi

His Risk to Take by Tessa Bailey (Line of Duty #2) May 13, 2013 Erotic Contemporary Entangled Publishing Reviewed by Mandi After reading and enjoying Protecting What’s His, I was eager to try another book from this author. Tessa Bailey gives us another dirty talking hero in this novella, although the suspense didn’t work quite as well for me. After losing his partner on the job, homicide detective Troy Bennett transfers out of Chicago to start working for the NYPD. Troy is at a Continue Reading

Review: Protecting What’s His by Tessa Bailey

April 11, 2013 by Mandi

Protecting What’s His by Tessa Bailey (Line of Duty #1) February 23, 2013 Contemporary Romance Entangled Publishing Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Baby, I’m jealous of men who haven’t even seen you yet.” When I received the review request for this book, I have to admit I saw the cover and it caught my eye. I guess the blurb did too. I’m so glad I’m a hussy for this cover because this book really surprised me. I laughed and laughed at the beginning and then the hero comes in with Continue Reading
