Review: Tease Me Tonight by Jules Court
Tease Me Tonight by Jules Court (Hot in the City #3) Released: July 31, 2017 Contemporary Novella Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I first read Jules Court a few months ago, when I read book two of this series, Enticing the Enemy.

Review: The Importance of Being Scandalous by Kimberly Bell
The Importance of Being Scandalous by Kimberly Bell (Tale of Two Sisters #1) Released: July 25, 2017 Historical Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi Oh this book. It has some very well done and clever banter (one of my favorite things) and it has a sister relationship that I adored. But it also has a "get rid of the fiance" story line that goes through the entire book and I got super tired of it. Growing up on neighboring properties, Nicholas and Amelia or Mia, have been very good Continue Reading
