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

Review: All the Lies we tell by Megan Hart
All the Lies We Tell by Megan Hart (Quarry Road #1) Released: May 1, 2017 Contemporary Romance Montlake Reviewed by Mandi Megan Hart is an author I will always read. Even though All the Lies We Tell isn't the most emotionally intense book by her, she still has a way of writing her main characters that allows the reader to have an intimate relationship with them. In this book, I'd say there are three main characters (maybe four) and we learn of their story, of their grief and how they Continue Reading
