Review: A Dangerous Seduction by Jillian Eaton
A Dangerous Seduction by Jillian Eaton (Bow Street Brides #1) Released: February 2017 Historical Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I had never read this author before and this book did not have much going on at Goodreads, a site I use to help decide whether I should review a book.

And by 25% I was in love and I started getting that sweaty feeling of Continue Reading

Review: Wake a Sleeping Tiger by Lora Leigh
Wake A Sleeping Tiger by Lora Leigh (Breeds #31) Paranormal Romance March 21, 2017 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce “My name is Helyce and I am a Breed series addict.” I don’t even know where to begin with this review. Honestly, this series had kind of fallen off my radar. When I saw it on my Goodreads feed and checked, I realized it had been nearly two years since book 30 had been released. Further research showed that this book had been pushed once or twice, until its release this month. Continue Reading
