Angela- It's August! I mean it's still 2020, but at least we are inching toward the end of the year. YAY! I'm adding one book that will hit the last week of July to my list because we didn't do a TBR for July and I don't want anyone to forget it's release. Happy almost end of summer! Deal with the Devil (Mercenary Librarians #1) by Kit Rocha 7/28 Fantasy Romance - I practically begged for an ARC for this book, but just when it hit my Kindle I knew I had to hold on to it until the last Continue Reading

Author Q & A: Helena Hunting Talks about Making Up
Helena Hunting's latest release, Making Up, was released on July 16th. Thanks to the team at St. Martin's for sending over this Q&A. What inspired you to write Making Up? I’d introduced Griffin in the previous Shacking Up Series novels, Shacking Up and Hooking Up—he was a bit of a mystery for readers because he was talked about, but not really present. I had a very clear picture in my mind of who he was, and the kind of woman who would end up being the perfect fit for him, and it Continue Reading

Review: Hooking Up by Helena Hunting
Hooking Up by Helena Hunting Released: November 7, 2017 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi All I wanted was a nice wedding. Instead I end up with a husband who gets a blow job during our reception - and it's broadcast to everyone attending. I've enjoyed Helena Hunting's voice in the past - she usually makes me giggle and highlight all of her over-the-top silly quotes. Her books are super fun. Hooking Up is also fun, and a great read, but it's not as raunchy and goofy Continue Reading

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. I think I read the follow-up to that book but have not tried her again until now. 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
