Review: The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros

March 1, 2019 by Kini 6 Comments

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. And it was but also there was a lot of this book that made me unhappy. Before we go any further, please note that this book has heavy themes of sick children, death, grieving, and PTSD. 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

December 10, 2013 by Mandi 3 Comments

Starting from Scratch by Stacy Gail This is the first I’ve read by Stacy Gail and I liked it. Sullivan comes home from another tour in Iraq, but this time he comes home with a severe head injury. When he left months before this, his wife Lucy was very angry that he signed up for another tour Continue Reading

Review: Tactical Strike by Kaylea Cross

March 18, 2013 by Mandi Leave a Comment

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

Review: Killing Time by Cindy Gerard

January 22, 2013 by admin 5 Comments

Killing Time by Cindy Gerard (One Eyed Jacks #1) Romantic Suspense January 22, 2013 Pocket Reviewed by May  Hero cries. Gabe shows up. (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
