"You didn't even flinch when ordering carbs!" "She's a homicide investigator," Vincent said irritably. "If she doesn't flinch at the sight of a decapitated drug dealer, I don't think pasta's going to do her in." I enjoy this series by Lauren Layne featuring brothers from a big Italian family who are all involved in the NYPD. Continue Reading

Review: Hawke by Sawyer Bennett
Hawke by Sawyer Bennett (Cold Fury #5) Released: March 15, 2016 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi I love hockey romance and Sawyer Bennett does a nice job with this series.

They were both big into partying hard. They loved hard, partied hard, and had a lot of sex. And then one night Vale Continue Reading
