Wicked Wednesday: The Librarian Principal by Helena Hunting
Take My Books
News from Mandi: Dirty Thoughts by Megan Erickson is so good. A grumpy hero. A young adult love now reunited years later. Men working in car repair garages. Lots of swearing. Lots of dirty thoughts which leads to dirty sexin’. Fun start to a new series! Review next week!
Uncharted Territory is a prequel to Tamsen Parker’s Compass series. If you’ve read this series, it features India just meeting Rey and getting introduced to BDSM. It’s a nice look into her past, but I had some frustrations too. Review next week.
Delayed Penalty by Sophia Henry showed up on Netgalley so I jumped the gun and read it early (sept release). It’s a hockey romance and with the stanley cup on right now I’m reallllly into hockey! I didn’t like this book though. Hockey is not the focus. And the romance fell flat.
But speaking of hockey – I’m currently reading Him by Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen – they co-wrote a NA MM hockey book!! *flails* So far sooooooo good. I’ll report back.
News from Tori: Not much going on with me. Reading time is almost at a stand still. *Sad face* With school being out I find myself doing more running around then reading. I am re reading Ride Steady by Kristen Ashley so I can write up my review.
I picked up The Librarian Principle by Helena Hunting. You can read my thoughts on it here. I enjoyed it. A fun and sexy fast read.
Moonlight on Nightingale Way by Samantha Young wraps up her On Dublin Street series and brings us a lovely opposites attract romance based in antagonism that grows in to something much much more. Review to come.
This weekend I will be reading Rebel-A Stepbrother Romance by Kim Linwood. It’ll be interesting as this will be my first ever stepbro-mance. Also on the kindle is Liora Blake’s True Devotion-book to in her True series.

I’m not sure to thank you for letting me know that Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen wrote a hockey book together or curse you because you got me excited about a book I won’t be able to read it until August!
Deb says
Did I read that correctly or does the summer sun have me hallucinating? Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen have written a NA MM hockey romance? Together? Could life get any better?
Vi says
So jealous that you got to read Him. I can’t wait to see how the collaboration between Elle Kennedy & Sabrina Bowen turns out.
