An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole (Loyal League #1) Historical Romance Released: March 28, 2017 Kensington Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "That we are, my sweet Elle." He ran his knuckles over her jawline. "Sweet?" I should have killed you when I had the chance," she said. She snuggled closer to him. I really enjoyed everything about this book. It takes a difficult subject and doesn't hold back in showing us the horrific injustices slaves and freed slaves faced during the Continue Reading

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. I don't remember what made me say yes to this review - probably the blurb and the excerpt she provided. From page one I was into it. 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
