Review: Mess With Me by Nicole Helm
Mess With Me by Nicole Helm (A Mile High Romance #2) Released: August 29, 2017 Contemporary Romance Zebra Reviewed by Mandi This author has written some really cute romances but ...and it's a big but. I don't like this series. I didn't like book one, but I decided to give this one a try because I enjoy her voice so much - and I didn't like this book either. What I don't like about this book (and series in general) is the overall tone. It's just not a fun read. I like darker books with Continue Reading

I just had the most amazing sex of my life with the hottest guy I’ve ever met.” The thing that drew me to this book, was that it is set in/around Kansas City. Continue Reading
