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.

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

Brandon grew up in Gracely, Colorado and his family owned a mine Continue Reading

Maybe a little predictable with the drama at the end, but it has a good guy hero which always makes me smile. This read pretty good as a stand alone although I did feel like I missed out on some supporting character development. Lindsay is almost ready to graduate Continue Reading
