Review: Need You Now by Nicole Helm
Need You Now (A Mile High Romance #1) Released: May 30, 2017 Contemporary Romance Zebra Reviewed by Mandi I've really enjoyed Nicole Helm books in the past - she writes really fun contemporary romances, sometimes featuring farmers (score!) and they make me smile. So I'm sorry to say Need You Now did not give me the smilies. I usually love a grumpy hero but Brandon was just so...depressing...it was hard to root for him. Brandon grew up in Gracely, Colorado and his family owned a mine Continue Reading

Review: The Darkest Corner by Liliana Hart
The Darkest Corner (Gravediggers #1) Released: May 23, 2017 Romantic Suspense Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi The start of a series called "Gravediggers" which sounded really cool to me plus the blurb drew me in: The Gravediggers aren’t exactly what they seem. They’re the most elite of the world’s fighting forces—and all they have in common is that they’ve been betrayed by the countries they’ve died for. Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their Continue Reading

Catch a Tiger by the Tail (Fabian Garoux #2) Released: May 16, 2017 Paranormal Shifter Novella St. Martin's Press Reviewed by Mandi Originally published in the Wild Anthology, this story is now available by itself.

The city wants this investigated, but so does the owner of the club, and also the alpha of the Continue Reading
Review: The Queen and the Cure by Amy Harmon
The Queen and the Cure by Amy Harmon (The Bird and the Sword Chronicles #2) Released: May 9, 2017 Fantasy Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Last year I really enjoyed The Bird and the Sword by Amy Harmon. I think fantasy romance, if done well, can be so captivating and enchanting. I greatly anticipated this book, especially when I learned Kjell (hero's brother from book one) would be the star. And to note, this can be read as a stand alone. That all said, this one lagged for Continue Reading
Review: Open Hearts by Eve Dangerfield
Open Hearts by Eve Dangerfield Released: April 25, 2017 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This is my first time reading Eve Dangerfield and it won't be my last. Tori reviewed the first book in this series for Smexy and enjoyed it - Open Hearts reads fine as a stand alone although the previous hero and heroine do have a big part in this book. I'm curious to find out just how their HEA unfolded in book one, but I followed along just fine in book two. I'll say Continue Reading
