Breathless by Beverly Jenkins (Old West #2) Released: January 31, 2017 Western Historical Avon Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read the first book in this series, Forbidden, and I enjoyed it but I definitely like Breathless better.

Portia and her sister Regan came to live with Rhine and Eddy when their mother, Continue Reading

Wenna by Virginia Taylor (South Landers #4) Released: January 17, 2017 Historical Romance Lyrical Press Reviewed by Mandi Wenna is a lady's maid who has the unfortunate circumstance of getting her lace caught in a man's trousers, making it look like she is a hussy rather than a proper maid.

Review: Wanted, a Gentleman by KJ Charles
Wanted, a Gentleman by KJ Charles Released: January 9, 2017 Historical M/M Riptide Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "You don't give an inch, do you?" "I just took at least eight," Theo pointed out. I really need to go back and read KJ Charles's backlist - as I've only read a couple by her and what I have read I've really enjoyed. In this book she gives us a more serious stoic hero paired with a wily, cocky hero - and the pairing really worked for me. Theo makes a Continue Reading

Round Midnight by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner
Round Midnight (Fly Me to the Moon, Book 2) Publication Date: November 12, 2016 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Kini I follow Emma Barry on Twitter and was super excited when she mentioned she was sending out ARCs.

Duke of Pleasure by Elizabeth Hoyt (Maiden Lane #11) Released: November 29, 2016 Historical Romance Grand Central Reviewed by Mandi I didn't love this one, and I'm bummed! I didn't hate it or anything - I actually liked the hero and heroine separately. Just not together - which kind of is a bad thing when reading a romance book. I don't remember the last time I wasn't thrilled with a Maiden Lane book (okay, I looked it up on Goodreads and my last less than 4-star rating was in 2013 for Continue Reading
