Review: Head Coach by Lia Riley
Head Coach by Lia Riley Series: Hellions Angels, #2 Contemporary Sports Romance November 21, 2017 Avon Impulse Reviewed by Kini So I read the first book in this series earlier this year and I liked it just fine. I have read several others by this author and enjoyed them. I was looking forward to this book because surly grumpy heroes are something I love. Unfortunately, this book lets et me down in so many ways. The blurb says this is an enemies to lovers story. And I guess the case Continue Reading

Review: At the Heart of It by Tawna Fenske
At the Heart of It by Tawna Fenske Romantic Comedy/Women’s Fiction October 3, 2017 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Kini I don’t always include blurbs in my reviews any more, but for this review it is necessary.

She’s piloting a reality series featuring her favorite self-help guru, Dr. Vivienne Brandt. The Dr. Viv—whose nuggets of Continue Reading
Review: Diving In by Kristina Mathews
Diving In by Kristina Mathews Released: September 19, 2017 Contemporary Romance Lyrical Reviewed by Mandi Are adventure company romances the "in" thing right now? I've read several - including a m/m series from Lynda Aicher and a recent Nicole Helm series. I'm not a whitewater raft person by any means - give me a tube, a creek, and a cooler that floats. But I am drawn to this trope. But, not this book. This one did not work for me at all. I did like the heroine - but that's about it Continue Reading
Review: Going Dark by Monica McCarty
Going Dark by Monica McCarty (The Lost Platoon #1) Released: September 5, 2017 Romantic Suspense St. Martin's Reviewed by Mandi When I heard this author was switching genres from historical, to romantic suspense, I thought I would give her a try. I will also admit, I was pulled in by this cover and the hint of a lost Navy SEAL Platoon. We meet that platoon, before they disappear, in the prologue. Several tough, yet a little nervous SEALS about to embark on a very dangerous mission in Continue Reading
Review: Mess With Me by Nicole Helm
Mess With Me by Nicole Helm (A Mile High Romance #2) Released: August 29, 2017 Contemporary Romance Zebra Reviewed by Mandi This author has written some really cute romances but ...and it's a big but. I don't like this series. I didn't like book one, but I decided to give this one a try because I enjoy her voice so much - and I didn't like this book either. What I don't like about this book (and series in general) is the overall tone. It's just not a fun read. I like darker books with Continue Reading

Review: A Hero to Love by Gail Chianese
A Hero to Love by Gail Chianese (Changing Tides #2) Released: August 22, 2017 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi The blurb to this one really drew me in: Navy Chief Master at Arms Jackson “Jax” Faraday is at a crossroads. He has to decide whether to reenlist or get out while he’s young enough to make a difference in the civilian world. Either choice could mean leaving behind his girl: his K-9 partner, Bella.
