Review: A New Leash on Love by Debbie Burns
A New Leash on Love by Debbie Burns (Rescue Me #1) Released: July 4, 2017 Contemporary Romance Sourcebooks Reviewed by Mandi Hey - new author alert! I love trying new authors. Also, being an owner of two rescue chihuahuas, I had to try this book that has a big focus on rescue dogs. I will say upfront, there is a lot of focus on the dogs in this one.

Review: Not Another Rock Star by Amber Belldene
Not Another Rock Star (Hot Under Her Collar #3) Released: June 27, 2017 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've really enjoyed this series - this is a four-star read for me, but probably book one and two I liked better (reviews). This one is super sweet and cute, but the two characters didn't grab me like they did in previous books. But this is still a good read. Suzannah DeWitt, better known as Suze, is an episcopal priest, former opera student, who is trying to Continue Reading

The author includes a note at the beginning, briefly explaining the minor league system for the NHL and I appreciated that. I enjoyed seeing a minor league team and the struggles some of Continue Reading
