Catch a Tiger by the Tail (Fabian Garoux #2) Released: May 16, 2017 Paranormal Shifter Novella St. Martin's Press Reviewed by Mandi Originally published in the Wild Anthology, this story is now available by itself.

Review: Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny by Cindi Madsen
Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny (Taking Shots #4) Released: May 8, 2017 New Adult Hockey Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi This is my first time reading Cindi Madsen and I found this book to be overall pretty cute. Maybe a little predictable with the drama at the end, but it has a good guy hero which always makes me smile. This read pretty good as a stand alone although I did feel like I missed out on some supporting character development. Lindsay is almost ready to graduate Continue Reading
Review: Enemies Like You by Annika Martin and Joanna Chambers
Enemies Like You M/M Romantic Suspense Released: May 15, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I've really enjoyed Annika Martin's (also writes as Carolyn Crane) romantic suspense books. She writes action-filled, black ops type books with super sexy heroes and good banter. This book had a very similar feel, if you are familiar with her work. I was not familiar with Joanna Chambers, so I was happy to try out this book and get a taste of them together. I ended up liking both heroes quite Continue Reading
Review: The Queen and the Cure by Amy Harmon
The Queen and the Cure by Amy Harmon (The Bird and the Sword Chronicles #2) Released: May 9, 2017 Fantasy Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Last year I really enjoyed The Bird and the Sword by Amy Harmon. I think fantasy romance, if done well, can be so captivating and enchanting. I greatly anticipated this book, especially when I learned Kjell (hero's brother from book one) would be the star. And to note, this can be read as a stand alone. That all said, this one lagged for Continue Reading

May Mini Reviews
Tori’s Mini Reviews The Girl Who Knew Too Much by Amanda Quick Historical Mystery Suspense May 9, 2017 Grade: DNF I’ve always been a fan of Amanda Quick and her alter egos (Jayne ann Krentz and Jayne Castle) no matter what century we are in or what planet we’re on. This particular one caught my eye because it is set in the roaring 20s and hints at a diabolical and suspenseful mystery involving murder, lies, and revenge. The story opens with a murder when a young secretary, Anna, Continue Reading
