Review: More Than Luck by Casey Cameron
More Than Luck by Casey Cameron (Legendary Pairs #2) Released: February 8, 2017 M/M Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I read the first book in this series recently (both stand alones) and I liked it but the romance was pretty rushed.

Review: Buyout by Dev Bentham

Review: Clean Breaks by Ruby Lang
Clean Breaks by Ruby Lang Released: February 20, 2017 Contemporary Romance Crimson Romance Reviewed by Mandi I'm a huge fan of Ruby Lang - her characters are smart and flawed and her friendships come across very real. I think I've mentioned this in previous reviews, but the girl friendships in this book are not all cupcakes and wine. They challenge each other, and have attitudes and reflect what I feel like is a true friendship. All that being said, this is the first time I'm going Continue Reading
