Mandi’s April To-Be-Read
The Beast by J.R. Ward - 4/5. I've read this and definitely give it a solid B. Lots of good Rhage and Mary stuff. Lots of good Layla stuff. V and Lassiter have some good page time too.

Yassssss. Tori has read this and says it's "absolutely adorable." I'm excited. Goodreads l Kindle The Continue Reading

"You didn't even flinch when ordering carbs!" "She's a homicide investigator," Vincent said irritably. "If she doesn't flinch at the sight of a decapitated drug dealer, I don't think pasta's going to do her in."

He reached out and touched her arm, just one finger to her flesh, but it was enough to make her tremble. "When have you ever backed down from a Continue Reading

Should the truth of his heroic acts be made known public it could cost him his life… Ah, but who has time to dwell when he quite literally runs into the Continue Reading
