Review: Drunk Dial by Penelope Ward
Drunk Dial by Penelope Ward Romance Contemporary August 21, 2017 Penelope Ward Books, Inc. Favorite Quote: “I’ve never done this before...phone sex.” “It’s like sex...but over the phone.” Reviewed by Tracey It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? Continue Reading

Review: Royally Endowed by Emma Chase
Royally Endowed by Emma Chase (Royally #3) Released: August 15, 2017 Contemporary Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I really enjoyed this book - it's funny and super sexy, similar to book one, Royally Screwed.

Our hero is Logan, personal bodyguard to the royal family of Wessco (a made-up country but similar to Continue Reading
