Mandi’s October TBR

News from Mandi: I had a little bit of a hard time with Enjoy the Dance by Heidi Cullinan. It lacked romance and was heavy on social issues – I liked the issues that were raised but I needed more romance. Review coming

Dark Mafia Prince by Annika Martin is an action-packed romantic suspense with the daughter of a mafia boss falling for his main enemy. It’s super sexy. Review coming.

News from Tori: I survived Hurricane Matthew!! YAY!!

Solo by Jill Mansell–True to form, Mansell offers a witty, convoluted storyline revolving around two couples who struggle with life and love. Reviewing for RT Book Reviews.

Otherworld Chills by Kelly Armstrong–The last anthology in Armstrong’s Otherworld series that offers fans one last hurrah. Using some new and some previous released stories, Armstrong wraps up loose plot lines and lingering threads. Review here.  

Saving Jake–A sweet small town second chance romance that brings together two people who have suffered tragedy and now much learn how to let go in order to move forward and heal. Review here.

K Bromberg’s Down Shift– While I have enjoyed some installments in this series, I think you have to be a die hard fan to love them all. This is a spin off of the main series-Colton and Rylee are older and parents to grown men. I ended up DNFing this one because the hero’s characterization and backstory reminded me so much of his father’s. Zander is Colton 2.0. While I enjoyed Colton and Rylee’s story up to a point, I didn’t want to read it again.  

Twisted Palace by Erin Watts-w00t! Watts picks up where book two left off and wraps up main arc with a huge dose of crazy and snark. Sex, lies, and blackmail…it’s just another day in the Royal household.

This weekend I’m reading Dust up with the Detective by Danica Winters.
