Review: The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros
I'm like a moth to a flame for any sort of epistolary romance, add in a single parent to the mix and basically it's almost like the book was written for me.

If any of these are triggering to you, this book is not for you. The book does not have any content warnings and I wouldn’t want a reader to be surprised Continue Reading

Review: Tactical Strike by Kaylea Cross
Tactical Strike by Kaylea Cross (Bagram Special Ops #2) March 11, 2013 Military Romantic Suspense Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I like military romance and really enjoyed Deadly Descent (among other military romances) from Kaylea Cross last year. Tactical Strike features our heroine, Gunship pilot Captain Candace Bradford who is very hard working, very serious and doesn’t have time for the lusty glances that Combat Controller, Staff Sergeant Ryan Wentworth throws her way. Part Continue Reading

(Grade: A) Ok, so perhaps my five word review (that I texted to Mandi) isn't quite enough, so I will explain in a few more words. I am a huge fan of Cindy Gerard, and I recommend pretty much every book she’s written since the first Bodyguard book. When she ended that series she did so in a way that launched us smoothly into her next series – known as Continue Reading
