I grasped the overall world - The four realms, including heaven, hell and an immortal land, all rose, killing humans and exposing Continue Reading

Royally Endowed by Emma Chase (Royally #3) Released: August 15, 2017 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed this book - it's funny and super sexy, similar to book one, Royally Screwed. Book two is also good but not as good as Screwed and Endowed. All can be read as stand alones. This one features two non-royals, but the royals are in their life. Our hero is Logan, personal bodyguard to the royal family of Wessco (a made-up country but similar to Continue Reading

The Red Lily Juliette Cross Series: Tales of the Red Lily, #1 Paranormal Romance Released: June 19, 2017 Entangled Publishing: Select Otherworld Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: “If another man tried to do that to you, I’d have to rip out his tongue.” “You’re very territorial.” “Very. Glad you’ve noted.” Storytelling is such an art form. I'd even argue that it is underrated.  Weaving clever stories and building upon complex arcs is taken for granted these days, so trust me when I Continue Reading
