To get everyone ready for this release, Penguin has offered to giveaway five print copies of book one, Covet.

Review: The Striker’s Chance by Rebecca Crowley
The Striker’s Chance by Rebecca Crowley Released: September 2, 2012 Contemporary Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I like sports romances and this is the first I have read of a soccer hero.

What Happens Between Friends by Beth Andrews (In Shady Grove #2) Released: August 6, 2013 Contemporary Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi I love the best friends to lovers trope and I also love the Superromance line from Harlequin so I had to try this one. After the first two chapters I started mentally making a list of everyone I was going to force to read this book because it was so darn cute. While the remaining part of the book didn’t quite hold up to the first two chapters, overall Continue Reading
