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

Review: Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Beards & Bondage #1) Released: April 26, 2017 BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi How can I pass up a series titled, Beards & Bondage??
