The Lover's Knot by Erin Satie (No Better Angels #2) Released: December 2014 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi It's sad to say, but I find it hard to find historical author voices I like these days. I have a small, select few I turn to. This blurb caught my attention though, and I thought what the heck. I knew from about page two this author's voice would appeal to me. It's smart, somber, totally engaged me through every page with great suspense and a lovely Continue Reading

Review: Semper Fi by Keira Andrews
Semper Fi by Keira Andrews Released: November 11, 2014 M/M Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Earlier this year I read a gay Amish romance by Keira Andrews that I enjoyed, so when I heard she had a WW2 historical coming out, I thought I'd give it a try.

The flashback eventually lead the two of them to the war and end I think Continue Reading

Rogue Spy by Joanna Bourne (Spymasters #5) Historical Romance Released: November 4, 2014 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Before I being gushing, and oh yes there will be gushing, let me note that while this book can be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading The Forbidden Rose and The Black Hawk first.
