September 18, 2014 by Mandi

Harlequin Contemporary Boxed Set #3 Released: September 1, 2014 Contemporary Romance Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi Note: I'm only reviewing two of the four stories in this set.

Her latest gig is just the break she needs, and she’s not going to let anyone get in her way. Not even the producer with dreamy blue eyes Continue Reading

February 16, 2014 by Mandi

Note: This excerpt is from the first story in this bundle, Coming in From the Cold by Sarina Bowen. I have not read the other three stories in this bundle yet. But I really enjoyed this story and for the price, I'd buy the bundle just to read this one. I believe this story releases separately in May. (I'll be reviewing the entire collection soon!) Hero: Dane 'Danger' Hollister. Olympic alpine skier. A bit reckless. Somewhat a loner due to a deep-seated fear of inheriting a deadly disease his Continue Reading

Even then I was reading books that I probably shouldn't have been for my age group... Grimm's fairy tales and biographies about Eleanor Roosevelt and Rosa Parks. In middle and high school I began my romance Continue Reading
