Review: Maybe This Christmas by Jennifer Snow
Maybe This Christmas by Jennifer Snow (Colorado Ice #3) Released: September 26, 2017 Contemporary Romance Forever Reviewed by Mandi I love to try holiday romance, but to be honest, I find that the majority I try just don't do it for me. I've found some super great holiday reads, but I go in a little wary. Jennifer Snow is a new to me author, and I love a hockey hero so I gave it a try and hooray, I liked it! It's not necessarily super-holiday, but hockey is prominent and it's a well Continue Reading

Claire is lying low to avoid being sent to Devil's Isle after openingly using her magic to help defeat the Reveillon. Firmly outed as a Sensitive, she has given her store to her best friend and Continue Reading
Review: The Reunion by Sara Portman
The Reunion by Sara Portman (Brides of Beadwell #1) Released: September 26, 2017 Historical Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed debut author Sara Portman's book, The Reunion. Smart, mature characters (well, one immature side character I grew to like), a sexy hero, and a heroine who I adored. Four years prior to the book starting, seventeen year old Lady Emma, was forced into an engagement to a man whom she barely knew. This man, our hero John, took one look at the Continue Reading
Review: Acting On Impulse by Mia Sosa
Acting On Impulse by Mia Sosa Love on Cue #1 Contemporary Romance August 19, 2017 Avon Impulse Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quotes: I’M STANDING IN the middle of an airplane aisle, inching my way to row 12, when I spot her. I don’t know her name, nationality, age, or occupation, but I know this: Someday I’m going to marry the woman sitting in 12D. AND I need to regroup before I can speak to her. And I refuse to listen to the preflight safety demonstration unless the attendant can teach Continue Reading

Review: Archangel’s Viper by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Viper by Nalini Singh Series: Guild Hunter,#10 Urban Fantasy Released: September 26, 2017 Berkley Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: Sliding his sunglasses back on, Venom looked at Holly. “You my chauffeur?” “I’m the woman you don’t want to piss off unless you plan to walk all the way to the Tower.” ... "Are you wearing satin pants?" "No, I have better taste than that." I suppose I can't start this by gnashing my teeth, punching the air wildly with the reverberations of Continue Reading
