Hello friends, it has not been a good reading week. I had 4 books drop on 9/4 and I only read one and a half. I had high hopes of relaxing and reading over my Labor Day Weekend, but it just didn’t work out that way for me. I’m more hopeful for the upcoming weekend. My kids have settled in to their college routines and have their own plans for the weekend, my hubby also has plans for the weekend, so I’m crossing my fingers for some reading and me time. Maverick by Cheryl Brooks (Cat 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

Mandi is Monday, Tori Tuesday, Sheena Wednesday, Helyce Thursday and Kini Friday. The Top Ten will be coming back this week, and we will still post a wrap-up and Smex Scene over the Continue Reading
Review: How to Marry a Werewolf by Gail Carriger
How to Marry a Werewolf by Gail Carriger (Claw & Courtship #1) Released: May 13, 2018 Historical Paranormal Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Gail Carriger writes such cute, quirky books and in this novella (although it felt like a long novella) she gives us a grumpy werewolf hero and a human heroine who loves to collect rocks. Faith had an indiscretion with a werewolf in Boston (it's hinted at in the blurb and you will learn more about it as you read) and her family shuns her and Continue Reading
Review: Blood Type by K.A. Linde
Blood Type by K.A. Linde (Blood Type #1) Released: April 24, 2018 Paranormal Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi I'm always up for trying a new vampire romance series. I'm not sure if I noticed in the blurb where it states that this couple's HEA continues into book two - this one ends in a bit of a cliffhanger. So be aware for those who don't like an unfinished HEA in book one. But let me also state, that cliffhanger or not, I had some problems with this one. In this world, Continue Reading
