A Limited Engagement by Bethany Michaels (Limitless Love #1) Contemporary Romance March 13, 2017 Entangled Publishing, LLC Reviewed by Helyce I am a big fan of the “crushing on my best friend’s brother” theme; add in the fact said brother is a sexy race car driver and I’m sold. Derek’s career in racing started when he was young, and as he’d proven himself a winning driver, he rose up through the ranks. His father is very much involved in the business side of racing, but Derek is Continue Reading

Review: Love and First Sight by Josh Sundquist
Love At First Sight by Josh Sundquist Young Adult Contemporary Released: January 3, 2017 Little, Brown Books For Young Readers Reviewed by Helyce I heard about this book when Netgalley was doing an early arc giveaway to the first 50 requestors.

Helyce’s Favorite Books of 2016
Compiling this list for 2016 succeeded in proving to me that this was not a great year for me reading wise. From a numbers perspective, I’ve read the least amount of books this year when compared to previous years. I wasn’t surprised to see that most of my favorite reads were by authors whose series I’ve followed for years. With a sprinkling of new to me authors mixed in, here is my list in no particular order: Archangel’s Heart (Guild Hunter #9) by Nalini Singh: This was a fantastic Continue Reading
Review: Snowed In by Jenna Bayley-Burke
Snowed In by Jenna Bayley-Burke (More Than Friends #2) Contemporary Romance December 6, 2016 Swerve (Macmillan) Reviewed by Helyce I know this is probably the worst way to start a review, but I have to say it. I really disliked the heroine in this story. She almost completely ruined the story for me and I lost count of the eye rolls, and OMGs I uttered after a while. I say almost because I could understand some of the feelings and decisions she’d made after her experiences, but at the Continue Reading
