Guest Post: Hawaii and Romance Books by Vina Arno

June 29, 2018 by Mandi 3 Comments

You’ve probably seen pictures or heard the news about the volcanic eruption on the Big Island in Hawaii. My contemporary, new adult romance novel, Finder Keeper of My Heart, is set on the Big Island. Of all the Hawaiian islands, it’s my favorite. I love the Big Island’s rugged and singular beauty born out of its volcanic origins. The eruption of Kilauea Volcano is truly humbling, a reminder of how precarious nature can be. In Finder Keeper, Emma Munroe, an aspiring Broadway actress, Continue Reading

We've about reached the halfway mark in 2018, and I just glimpsed at some of my review books coming up and I thought I'd highlight some that look exciting: Once beloved by London's fashionable elite, Hartley Sedgwick has become a recluse after a spate of salacious gossip exposed his most-private secrets. Rarely venturing from the house whose inheritance is a daily reminder of his downfall, he’s captivated by the exceedingly handsome man who seeks to rob him. Since retiring from the Continue Reading

Review: Six Weeks with a Lord by Eve Pendle

June 25, 2018 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Six Weeks with a Lord by Eve Pendle Historical Romance June 25, 2018 The first chapter in this book is so intense and delicious, I got very excited! But my excitement soon fled as this book loses steam and had a romance that didn't work for me. The reason the first chapter is so striking is the fact that our heroine, Grace Alnott, needs a husband desperately. She comes from trade, her father owned a very large grocer and she has a fifty thousand dollar dowry. Her father really wanted her Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts: The Girl in the Moss by Loreth Anne White and In Bed with the Beast by Tara Sivec

June 14, 2018 by Mandi Leave a Comment

The Girl in the Moss by Loreth Anne White (Angie Pallorino #3) Romantic Suspense June 12, 2018 Montlake Romance Favorite quote:  We all tell lies.  We all have secrets.  A secret can own a person.  A secret is powerful. But only to the degree that the truth threatens someone.” I’m not sure what it was about the blurb that captured my attention, but I’m so glad it did. I have not read romantic suspense in a while and I realize now that I’ve missed it. Also, I had no issues reading this Continue Reading
