10. I'm usually the superhero in this situation. *stares at my husband who always takes ALL the coffee* 9. I'm starting with a picture of bacon wrapped cheese fries because we all deserve this in our life. ALL OF US. (A bacon wrapped tater tot is just as good).

Review: The Devil’s Doorbell Anthology
The Devi's Doorbell Anthology Released: April 26, 2016 Erotic Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm super impressed with this erotic anthology. I'm not a big fan of anthologies, but I couldn't pass up a collection of dirty stories from these authors. They are done well. Almost all feature a heroine who is coming back from a bad divorce or break-up, and trying to find herself again. And each features mention of the devil's doorbell *wink* I highly recommend! In the Garden by Continue Reading

Review: Undecided by Juliana Keyes
Undecided by Juliana Keyes Released: April 4, 2016 New Adult Self Published Reviewed by Kini This author is one of my auto buys after I read her book, Just Once. She has not led me astray. I remain on the fence about new adult books, but I just keep finding really good stories in that genre so I keep reading. This was definitely up there in the top of the genre. Low drama and angst Nora spent her first year at college drinking and partying and living the college dream. This did not Continue Reading
