Review: Bengal’s Quest by Lora Leigh
Bengal’s Quest by Lora Leigh (Breed #30) Paranormal Romance June 23, 2015 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce This is Gideon’s story. A shadow of a character introduced around book 7 or so, though we really had no idea of him except very softly in the periphery until more recently where he became an important character in the story arc that involved the fight to save Jonas’s daughter, Amber. Gideon, raised in a lab, was given special treatment when a council scientist became aware that Gideon Continue Reading

Mini Reviews for June
Tori's Mini Reviews: Need Me by Tessa Bailey Romance Contemporary RATING: C The second story in Bailey’s Broke and Beautiful series centers around a student, her professor, and the forbidden love affair. Similar to book one, the storyline is engaging with a solid set up, strong characters, and bits of humor and heartbreak. While somewhat engaging, I didn’t connect with this couple so well. I found Honey to be selfish in her objective to seduce Ben. Not until the Continue Reading
