Review: Pole Position by Sofia Grey
Review: Pole Position Contemporary Romance Released: February 12, 2016 Acelette Press Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "Lying in bed next to the wrong woman isa million times lonelier than lying in bed alone." When bad covers happen to good books....this book's cover is something I'd expect to fall from the knapsack of a breakfast clubber....the 80's called and they want their book covers back...heh, I trust my point is well taken. Pole Position has a sort of dated new adulty feel. Continue Reading

DNF Review: Lady Bridget’s Diary by Maya Rodale
Lady Bridget's Diary by Maya Rodale (Cavendish #1) Releases: February 23, 2016 Historical Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Based on the title of this book, I assumed we would get some Bridget Jones's Diary references - it's a movie I adore and I had never read Maya Rodale so I decided to try it.
