Review: The Other Side of Us by Sarah Mayberry
The Other Side of Us by Sarah Mayberry Contemporary Romance January 2, 2013 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi I wanted to read this book for a few reasons.

Mackenzie has good reasons to be in a bad mood too. About a year ago, while driving to a production site (she is a tv producer) she had a very bad accident, Continue Reading
Review: What Chris Wants by Lori Foster

So when I found out that the author planned to release a novella giving us Chris’s story, I was overjoyed. Chris may have come off as laid back in his too long hair, Continue Reading

Having been imprisoned in India, and I guess imprisoned is a mild word for what he went through, he was tortured and stuck in a dark hole for a long time. He was missing Continue Reading
