Review: Most of All You by Mia Sheridan
Most of All You by Mia Sheridan Released: October 17, 2017 Contemporary Romance Forever Reviewed by Mandi This book pretty much gutted me - and I'm not one to use that term a lot. The author deceives you into thinking she is giving you a very broken hero, and a heroine who is going to help him find himself. Instead, you start to learn how absolutely vulnerable the heroine is, and this book is more her journey of rising out of the black pit of despair, and enjoying the sunsets and Continue Reading

Review: Tell Me by Abigail Strom
Tell Me by Abigail Strom Released: October 1, 2017 Contemporary Romance Montlake Reviewed by Mandi This book has a lot of cute moments - a very cute hero and heroine who are friends but firmly friends - no hanky panky. Anne of Green Gables is mentioned a lot and Jane owns a bookstore! She is more of a dreamer where Caleb, our hero is an adventurer. He travels the world taking people on adventures. Jane thinks he is crazy - the thought of a simple hike holds no attraction to her at all. Continue Reading

People say Tillie came from the wrong side of the tracks, but in truth she was just a kid who had a less than perfect home life and was doing the best she could. Nathan was from Continue Reading
