Thanks to the team at Avon for sharing this Q & A with us! Maya's latest novel, Some Like it Scandalous, was released on June 18th.

I feel like it has been forever since I talked about what I was reading! I looked back and it has been a few weeks, but I am back now. Here’s what I read recently. What Matters More by Liora Blake- I picked this up because I have read and enjoyed all of her previous books. For the most part I found this book boring and lacking emotional connection. Too much emotional stuff happened off page. That is annoying to me. There was a fair amount of sex though if that is something you are Continue Reading

Review: A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe
A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe The Four Hundred #3 Historical Romance September 25, 2018 by Avon Reviewed by Angela: The entire time I was reading this book I had this overwhelming feeling of sadness and dread. I've enjoyed this author previously, so when I saw this up for review I didn't even read the blurb, I just hit the request button. I wasn't prepared. You see the hero in A Notorious Vow is deaf, and I grew up in a partially deaf household. I know the stories of how my father was Continue Reading

My review for The Duke with the Dragon Tattoo will post later today. I loved this book so hard. No one does dark, broody, damaged heroes like Kerrigan Byrne.

Not his eyes. Most certainly not his bare chest. Nor his voice, forearms, wit, charm, or large feet. And not his warm, delicious-smelling Continue Reading

Review: The Highlander’s Promise by Lynsay Sands
The Highlander's Promise by Lynsay Sands Highlanders, #5 Historical Romance June 26, 2018 Avon Reviewed by Sheena There are some things that you just know. The sky is blue. 1 +1 = 2. If you use baking soda instead of baking powder in a recipe, you've fudged up BIG time, and if you write a bearded, scarred, reclusive Highlander with a heart of gold surrounded by glacier ice ad growlyness, if you dare build such a hero, Sheena will come. Sheena will come fast and hard- double-entendre Continue Reading
