Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts You know when you read a blurb for a new book and it sounds interesting? Maybe it has an interesting premise--something different from the books you’ve previously read. It might be a new author you haven’t read before, but you’re hopeful that you’ll luck out and find another author you’ll love and can obsess over and anxiously wait for the next book?? Well that didn’t happen to me this week. I chose two books recently that I thought were kind of out there, and I Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
It’s a small miracle but I finished reading two books this week. And finished listening to an audio book. First up I finally read The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang and I didn’t love it. I never really connected with either character. There were some eyerolly moments with a late intro of a villain that almost caused me to DNF. But I took a break and was able to finish it. Helyce really enjoyed the book and reviewed it recently. I finished Bad Bachelor by Stefanie London on Audio and I really Continue Reading

Sheena’s Smexy Snapshot – Runaway Heiress by Syrie James
Runaway Heiress by Syrie James Historical Romance Grade: B+ Runaway Heiress was the quintessential historical novel! I love, love historical romances, and this one was a joy to get lost in. Undercover Heiress/Heir mixed with Heroine as Governess to Heroes children/charges tropes are once that I've come to truly enjoy. I get a kick out of watching people fall in love without care of finances or societal status. And the drama from the fallout of when their true backgrounds are revealed are Continue Reading
Review: Ocean Light by Nalini Singh
Ocean Light by Nalini Singh The Trinity #2, Psy-Changeling #17 PNR Berkley June 12, 2018 Favorite Quote: They might only have a fragment of an instant in time, but he’d make that fragment extraordinary. Ocean Light is Bowen Knight's story; the leader of the Human Alliance and one of the leaders in the Trinity Accord. Fans have been expecting his story, straddling the fence and withholding our forgiveness over his past deeds. Bowen had an experimental chip put in that blocks the Psy's Continue Reading
Mandi’s Monday Musings – More Than You by Mia Sheridan and Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn
More Than Words by Mia Sheridan Releases: June 12, 2018 Contemporary Romance Most of All You, Sheridan's book published last year, is a favorite of mine. It made me feel all the feels. More Than Words was greatly anticipated, but it misses the mark. We meet Jessica and Callen as teenagers, they randomly meet one day at an abandoned train car, as they are both looking for escapism. Jessica's dad is a serial cheater and her mom falls apart each time. Callen's dad verbally abuses and shames Continue Reading
Mandi’s Review of Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield
Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield Released: June 11, 2018 Erotic Romance Self Publishe Reviewed by Mandi I've loved Tessa Bailey since her first book - and I just discovered Eve Dangerfield last year and I really like her voice. So when I saw these two were pairing up to write a book, I squeaked. And when I read this line: "Unzip my pants and greet your new keeper.” I giggled!!! Oh dirty, dirty fun. I love the set-up in this one. Autumn is from Australia and moves to Continue Reading
