Mandi’s Monday Musings
Imperial Stout by Layla Reyne (Trouble Brewing #1) Released: July 23, 2018 M/M Suspense Carina Press This is a spin-off series from Reyne's Whiskey series and I saw some reviews that said it's probably best if you read the Whiskey series before reading this.

Review: Single Malt by Layla Reyne
Single Malt by Layla Reyne (Agents Irish and Whiskey #1) Released: Febuary 27, 2017 M/M Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi What drew me into this book is that both heroes are FBI agents and one is nicknamed Irish and the other Whiskey - I love that. I also love m/m FBI stories (hello Ty and Zane!) This was an okay read but I found my attention wandering in the second half. Let me also state up front that it ends in a bit of a cliffhanger. The relationship is progressing Continue Reading
