What I read this week: Band Sinister by K.J Charles Historical M/M October 11, 2018 by KJC Books I loved this book. Loved, loved, loved. This might even be my favorite romance by KJ Charles.

Virgin country gentleman forced into close proximity with his dastardly (but not Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Cross Breed by Lora Leigh Breeds #23 Paranormal Romance September 25, 2018 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce Note: Might be a little bit rambly... I remember when I found the Breeds. I came upon a book at my local used bookstore. I don’t remember which one it was, but it fueled my love of science fiction with its very imaginative theme of altering genetics and creating a completely different species by splicing animal and human DNA. Not a human who could shift into an animal--something Continue Reading

Review: Ocean Light by Nalini Singh
Ocean Light by Nalini Singh The Trinity #2, Psy-Changeling #17 PNR Berkley June 12, 2018 Favorite Quote: They might only have a fragment of an instant in time, but he’d make that fragment extraordinary. Ocean Light is Bowen Knight's story; the leader of the Human Alliance and one of the leaders in the Trinity Accord. Fans have been expecting his story, straddling the fence and withholding our forgiveness over his past deeds. Bowen had an experimental chip put in that blocks the Psy's Continue Reading
