It Started with a Scandal by Julie Ann Long Historical Romance Released: March 31, 2015 Avon Reviewed by: Prachi Bio: Prachi is many things. A counselor, a writer, a hopeless optimist and perhaps most significantly a reader. She doesn't know her first book and can't for the life of her pick a favourite. ('Tis a crime! ) She loves Historicals and Contemporaries which are character driven and bereft of werewolves and vampires. Her favourite authors are Sarah Mayberry, Sherry Thomas, Continue Reading

10. Heh! Shannon Stacey tweet this shirt this week. It made me giggle :) (link) 9.

Below the Belt by Sidney Halston (Worth the Fight #3) Released: February 10, 2015 Contemporary Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi I had a hard time with this book and it took me awhile to figure out why I didn't like it after I finished reading.
