All the Lies We Tell by Megan Hart (Quarry Road #1) Released: May 1, 2017 Contemporary Romance Montlake Reviewed by Mandi Megan Hart is an author I will always read. Even though All the Lies We Tell isn't the most emotionally intense book by her, she still has a way of writing her main characters that allows the reader to have an intimate relationship with them. In this book, I'd say there are three main characters (maybe four) and we learn of their story, of their grief and how they Continue Reading
Mandi’s May To-Be-Read
White Hot by Ilona Andrews - 5/30. May has read this and book three coming out later this year and LOVED both. If you have yet to read book one, get on it. It's going to be a great trilogy. Goodreads l Kindle The Queen and the Cure by Amy Harmon - 5/9. Last year I read The Bird and the Sword and loved it so much. A Fantasy romance, the author has a wonderful voice. I think this book is Kjell's book, a secondary character from book one. So excited to read it. Goodreads l Kindle The Continue Reading

Review: Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Beards & Bondage #1) Released: April 26, 2017 BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi How can I pass up a series titled, Beards & Bondage?? What I liked most about this story is while it is erotic, and there is a beard, and there is some bondage, their courtship is presented so well. And the trauma and recovery the heroine goes through in this book felt so realistic. Claudia is from the city but goes on a camping trip with her brother but they run Continue Reading
Review: Lost Rider by Harper Sloan
Lost Rider by Harper Sloan (Coming Home #1) Released: April 25, 2017 Contemporary Romance Pocket Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "Are you drunk, baby?" Maverick smirks at me. I nod. "You want to keep getting drunk or go home?" "That depends," I whisper huskily, crooking my finger so he'll bend closer to me. "Do I get to ride my cowboy in both scenarios or only one?" I've never read Harper Sloan (I plan to hit her back list hard after this one) and when I saw in the blurb Continue Reading
Review: Relaunch Mission by Robyn Bachar
Relaunch Misson by Robyn Bachar Released: April 24, 2017 Sci-Fi Romance Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "I'm not going to be caught naked, midcoitus when the ship enters hyperspace. That's asking for sprains in places we don't want." The blurb and the cover drew me into this one and I ended up really enjoying it. I'll say up front while there is a HEA and love scenes, the romance does take a back seat to the sci-fi action. But the heroine is awesome, and her crew is Continue Reading
