Review: Grave Phantoms by Jenn Bennett
Grave Phantoms by Jenn Bennett (Roaring Twenties #3) Released: May 5, 2015 Historical Paranormal Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I've enjoyed the heck out of this historical paranormal series. It took some convincing to start this series, as ghosts are not a favorite of mine (and they were the premise of book one). But many recommended this author so I read it and I've loved them so, so much. This book can be read as a stand alone but the hero has had page time previous to this book and I do Continue Reading

This book not only made me laugh, a lot, but it turns into a wonderful, sweet and VERY DIRTY romance. The hero is a little awkward Continue Reading
