Review: Second Chance Season by Liora Blake
Second Chance Season (Grand Valley #2) Released: June 20, 2017 Contemporary Romance Pocket Books Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed this one - maybe it's because I live a little ways in the country. I like a guy who drives a big truck, that has dirt on his t-shirt, stubble on his face, and is sweaty from a hard day in the fields. My husband is a computer programmer but also part-time goat farmer! I MAY glance at the guy who fills my mini-van with bales of hay for my goats a little too Continue Reading

A hero who is a super good guy and gets a second chance at wooing his girl? CHECK. Drew is in the army but home on Continue Reading
Review: Shacking Up by Helena Hunting
Shacking Up by Helena Hunting Released: May 30, 2017 Contemporary Romance Swerve Reviewed by Mandi Two years ago I read Pucked by Helena Hunting and I liked it a lot - it really made me laugh. I think I read the follow-up to that book but have not tried her again until now. While Pucked is very over-the-top silly (I think the heroine puts a cape of the hero's peen...if I remember correctly) Shacking Up is more sweet and low-key, with good sexual tension and two likable protagonists. It Continue Reading
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
