Review: The Highlander by Kerrigan Byrne
The Highlander by Kerrigan Byrne (Victorian Rebels #3) Released: August 2, 2016 Historical Romance St. Martin's Reviewed by May Laird Hamish Mackenzie had wanted to craft a monster out of his son and heir. Someone like him. But monsters were mythical, the figments of superstitious imaginations and farcical stories of centuries past. Liam decided he’d be no monster. Nay, he’d do one better.

Review: Fatal Identity by Marie Force
Fatal Identity by Marie Force (Fatal #10) Released: July 26, 2016 Romantic Suspense Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi This is book ten in the Fatal series, and the first book I've read.

I really enjoyed this book, and could follow what was happening even though this was the first I've read - however, I could also tell I've missed out on a lot of back story and dynamics. Continue Reading
