Audible has 150 of its books on sale right now, and here is what I (Mandi) have enjoyed: The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith - $4.95. Book one of a three book series so far....Robert Galbraith is the pen name for JK Rowling. This is adult murder mystery with an ADORABLE grumpy private detective and his temporary assistant who becomes his permanent assistant (and a slow course to love interest). I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series. Book 3 is the best, but you need to listen to them in Continue Reading

And a heroine, loyal to the English throne, who has kept her Irish castle from invaders for years....until the hero Continue Reading

Review: Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas
Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas (The Ravenels #2) Released: May 31, 2016 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi I enjoyed this book more than book one, so yay for that! We meet Rhys and Helen in book (although this can be read as a standalone). They fall in love in book one, they get engaged in book one. What's left for this book, right? Well, at the end of book one (omg I'll stop saying "book one") they have a fight and they break up. This is where book two starts. Rhys was Continue Reading
Review: Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt
Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt (Maiden Lane #10) Releases: May 31, 2016 Historical Romance Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi He was the Duke of Montgomery. He'd successfully blackmailed the King. He was about to blackmail himself a wife. No one loved him. And that was the way he liked it. The hero in this book, Valentine Napier, the Duke of Montgomery, is a villain. He blackmails everyone. (no, really). He murders people. He is cunning, arrogant, but he also has this child-like Continue Reading
