Mandi’s October To-Be-Read
I'm a week late but darn it, here it is! Royally Screwed by Emma Chase - 10/18. I LOVE Emma Chase's Legal Briefs series so I'm excited to try something different from her. Goodreads l Kindle The Sexy One by Lauren Blakely - 10/17. I almost always choose to listen to Lauren Blakely books because she uses a sexy narrator - also love that her books are in the hero's POV. Kindle l Goodreads A Study in Scarlet Women - 10/18. Tori is going to review this for Smexy - a Sherlock Continue Reading

I was lost with the sci-fi terms and the world building. But the simple fact of the book is - bad aliens (dark blob shade creatures) have invaded Earth creating an apocalypse. Humans plus good aliens, called the Shipborn are trying Continue Reading

What more could you ask for? Levi was on a reality show that allowed him to travel around the world (you briefly meet him Continue Reading
