Shadow's Bane by Karen Chance Dorina Bashaba, #4 Urban Fantasy July 31, 2018 Favorite Quote: “Love is sending someone away because you would rather hurt than hurt them. Love is fighting beside them, bleeding along with them and putting their well-being above your own. Love is trembling at their touch so much that you do not notice that they are trembling at yours.” “I’m not trembling.” “I am,” he whispered and kissed me.

Review: Darkest Night by Megan Erickson
Darkest Night by Megan Erickson (Wired and Dangerous #2) Releases: July 31, 2018 Romantic Suspense Forever Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed book one in this series that features a group of hackers/bad asses that want revenge. We learned in book one, that years ago women were kidnapped into an underground sex ring, and the heroine of book one was able to escape before she was abused. But the heroine in this book, Fiona, wasn't rescued for days, and she was drugged and raped. Now Continue Reading
Review: Edge of Nowhere by Felicia Davin
Edge of Nowhere by Felicia Davin (Nowhere #1) Releases: July 31, 2018 M/M Sci-Fi Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This book hooked me right from the beginning, and while it may have slowed down a bit in the middle, I still enjoyed it. Set not too far into the future, there are people in the world called runners, who can walk into this dark, vast, unknown space they call The Nowhere (maybe think of it a little like the Upside Down from Stranger Things). Runners can be anywhere, and in Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – July 27
10. I don't know if I blame this on being 40, or just being a big dummy but... on Wednesday, I dropped my son off at his 30 min piano lesson, and I ran to the grocery store to grab a few things. I then promptly drove home, and unloaded the groceries and kept thinking - hmmm something feels weird. Yes, I forgot my son was still at piano (I had his cell phone in my purse) so that was super awesome. And then yesterday, I drove him to his 90 min rugby practice. I came home and started dinner, and Continue Reading
Kini’s Friday Kisses
It's been a much better reading week for me this week. And lots more kisses were read. I started One Wedding Two Brides by Heidi Betts, it had a cute blurb and I'm a sucker for a fake marriage. It quickly fell apart for me when the heroine was super drunk but the hero still thought it was okay to get married to her. The heroine also referred to another woman as a bitch and floozy. Hard pass. DNF A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole. I really did not care for this heroine when she was Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Trials
Fellow book lovers, I’m sorry to report that I have nothing new to review today. Last week, my sister was in Las Vegas for a work related seminar. Since she lives on Maui and doesn’t come to the ‘mainland’ very often so I decided to take a few days off and meet up with her. Dreams of lazy days by the pool with an umbrella topped alcoholic beverage and reading for hours and hours while my poor sister was stuck in her seminar was all I could think about. Add to that the fact that she was booked Continue Reading

So while I have some downtime and approaching my vacation, I am determined to tackle my TBR and my goal is to get through these five novels that have been patiently waiting for me to devour them.
