Review: Shacking Up by Helena Hunting
Shacking Up by Helena Hunting Released: May 30, 2017 Contemporary Romance Swerve Reviewed by Mandi Two years ago I read Pucked by Helena Hunting and I liked it a lot - it really made me laugh. I think I read the follow-up to that book but have not tried her again until now. While Pucked is very over-the-top silly (I think the heroine puts a cape of the hero's peen...if I remember correctly) Shacking Up is more sweet and low-key, with good sexual tension and two likable protagonists. It Continue Reading

Review: Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny by Cindi Madsen
Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny (Taking Shots #4) Released: May 8, 2017 New Adult Hockey Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi This is my first time reading Cindi Madsen and I found this book to be overall pretty cute. Maybe a little predictable with the drama at the end, but it has a good guy hero which always makes me smile. This read pretty good as a stand alone although I did feel like I missed out on some supporting character development. Lindsay is almost ready to graduate Continue Reading
Review: Enemies Like You by Annika Martin and Joanna Chambers
Enemies Like You M/M Romantic Suspense Released: May 15, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've really enjoyed Annika Martin's (also writes as Carolyn Crane) romantic suspense books. She writes action-filled, black ops type books with super sexy heroes and good banter. This book had a very similar feel, if you are familiar with her work. I was not familiar with Joanna Chambers, so I was happy to try out this book and get a taste of them together. I ended up liking both heroes quite Continue Reading
