Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts: The Girl in the Moss by Loreth Anne White and In Bed with the Beast by Tara Sivec
The Girl in the Moss by Loreth Anne White (Angie Pallorino #3) Romantic Suspense June 12, 2018 Montlake Romance Favorite quote: We all tell lies. We all have secrets. A secret can own a person. A secret is powerful. But only to the degree that the truth threatens someone.” I’m not sure what it was about the blurb that captured my attention, but I’m so glad it did. I have not read romantic suspense in a while and I realize now that I’ve missed it. Also, I had no issues reading this Continue Reading

Mandi’s Monday Musings – More Than You by Mia Sheridan and Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn

Jessica's dad is a serial cheater and her mom falls apart each time. Callen's dad verbally abuses and shames Continue Reading
Mandi’s Review of Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield
Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield Released: June 11, 2018 Erotic Romance Self Publishe Reviewed by Mandi I've loved Tessa Bailey since her first book - and I just discovered Eve Dangerfield last year and I really like her voice. So when I saw these two were pairing up to write a book, I squeaked. And when I read this line: "Unzip my pants and greet your new keeper.” I giggled!!! Oh dirty, dirty fun. I love the set-up in this one. Autumn is from Australia and moves to Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts – Believe The Kiss Quotient Hype!
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Contemporary Romance Release date: June 5, 2018 There is a lot of buzz around the release of The Kiss Quotient and in my opinion, it’s well deserved. I was so excited to have the opportunity to read an early copy of this very much-anticipated debut novel by Helen Hoang. I flew through the first read and then picked it up again a few weeks later to read slower and absorb it. I struggle with reviews for books I love. I worry about saying too much, so I Continue Reading

Mandi’s Monday Musings: Jo Goodman and Helena Hunting
A Touch of Flame by Jo Goodman Releases: June 5, 2018 Western Historical I loved this book. It's not the fastest paced, or the sexiest but it completely worked for me. Our hero is Ben Madison, who is the newly elected sheriff of Frost Falls, Colorado. Taking place in 1898, Ben is the most easy-going, never-to-get-riled hero I've read. That doesn't mean he is stupid or doesn't care, he just likes to observe and play along real nice with the folks, to keep everyone peaceful and happy. He puts Continue Reading
