Review: Someone to Love by Mary Balogh
Someone to Love by Mary Balogh (Westcott #1) Released: November 8, 2016 Historical Romance Signet Reviewed by Mandi Mary Balogh was one of the first romance authors I read, so she holds a special place in my heart.

My most favorite hero of hers is Wulfric - be still my heart. I didn't love her previous Survivor's Club Continue Reading

(but sitting on lovely floors). I'm currently reading the new Mary Balogh which I'm loving, but it's taking me FOREVER because of Continue Reading

Shifter Planet by D.B. Reynolds Released: October 26, 2016 Paranormal Sci-Fi Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi I first saw this book talked about at Dear Author and immediately realized I was in need of a good shifter book. With a sci-fi feel to it, Shifter Planet gave me much enjoyment. It has a very slow start - please remember that if you decide to read it. But it definitely picks up and after a while, I could not put it down. Set in a futuristic world where humans aka Earthers Continue Reading
