The First Girl Child by Amy HarmonFantasyAugust 20, 2019 by 47NorthARC This was a very different book than the previous fantasy releases I've read by this author. I would say that I was expecting more of a romance based fantasy and what I got was more of an epic fantasy with romance woven in. Still overwhelmingly lovely and beautifully written, just not exactly what I was expecting. The First Girl Child is a story of love, power, greed, selflessness, and honor. When a young battle Continue Reading

Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath (Sins for All Seasons #1) Released: January 30, 2018 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi First of a new series, and I always love to try out new series but I might not continue with this one.

In the prologue, we have a gut wrenching seen as our hero takes his newborn son, born to his mistress, away in the middle of the night to a common woman who for a small Continue Reading

She barely turned when his words froze her on the spot. "I will have you," he said, his voice a whispered promise that caused a shiver of foreboding, a quiver of pleasure to ripple through her. "Because you want it as much as I do." I received this book unsolicited in the mail, and after a Continue Reading
