Follow by Tessa Bailey Released: October 30, 2017 Erotic Contemporary Self Published Reviewed by Mandi In general, I love Tessa Bailey books. This is her first venture into self pubbing and I say, give it all to me! But this was a time that one of her books did not work for me. The quick set-up - Teresa is our heroine and growing up her dad was involved with mobsters/crime lord - he eventually gets out of that life and heads west with his family, but unfortunately for Teresa, now as Continue Reading

Review: In Tune Out of Sync by Kate Forest

Review: Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix
Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix Romantic Comedy/Adult August 21, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini I was looking forward to this book, as it features as STEM focused heroine. I was willing to look past the fact that the hero is a billionaire. The blurb references being similar to Penny Reid, Sally Thorne, and Jennifer Crusie all of whom are authors of books I have loved. This book really fell short of my expectations. It wasn’t terrible, but it didn’t wow me with its brilliance Continue Reading
