Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny (Taking Shots #4) Released: May 8, 2017 New Adult Hockey Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi This is my first time reading Cindi Madsen and I found this book to be overall pretty cute.

Review: All the Lies we tell by Megan Hart
All the Lies We Tell by Megan Hart (Quarry Road #1) Released: May 1, 2017 Contemporary Romance Montlake Reviewed by Mandi Megan Hart is an author I will always read.

In this book, I'd say there are three main characters (maybe four) and we learn of their story, of their grief and how they Continue Reading
