The Queen and the Cure by Amy Harmon (The Bird and the Sword Chronicles #2) Released: May 9, 2017 Fantasy Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Last year I really enjoyed The Bird and the Sword by Amy Harmon. I think fantasy romance, if done well, can be so captivating and enchanting. I greatly anticipated this book, especially when I learned Kjell (hero's brother from book one) would be the star. And to note, this can be read as a stand alone. That all said, this one lagged for Continue Reading
Review: Open Hearts by Eve Dangerfield
Open Hearts by Eve Dangerfield Released: April 25, 2017 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This is my first time reading Eve Dangerfield and it won't be my last. Tori reviewed the first book in this series for Smexy and enjoyed it - Open Hearts reads fine as a stand alone although the previous hero and heroine do have a big part in this book. I'm curious to find out just how their HEA unfolded in book one, but I followed along just fine in book two. I'll say Continue Reading

And the trauma and recovery the heroine goes through in this book felt so realistic. Claudia is from the city but goes on a camping trip with her brother but they run Continue Reading
