About the Book Dirty Deeds Author: HelenKay Dimon Publisher: Ballantine/Loveswept Released: August 8, 2017 Series: The Dirty series #1 Genre: Contemporary Romance (M/M) Snippet: “Alec Drummond.” The name slipped out before Gaige could think to call it back. At thirty-six Alec had been running the company for years, increasing the value and earnings of the family’s dying business well beyond expectations. Despite the public-relations potential of that sort of press, he refused to be interviewed or photographed. That only drove more interest in his direction. But there was another side to the success. People talked about his history in hushed whispers. There were rumors of how he killed the...

Strangehold Author: Rene Sears Reviewer: Una Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Strangehold is a fascinating series debut. I enjoyed this introduction to a world of witches and Faerie and look forward to more. Let me say first that this novella could have been a full novel. There is such a rich world with fascinating characters and politics, some elements could have been stretched out a bit in the storytelling. That being said, the story wasn’t lacking despite its shorter length. In fact, I’d say the book had a succinct feeling – the story flowed and conveyed the twists and turns without a lot of embellishment. I enjoyed Ms....

She loathed him. Also wanted to f**k him into next week, but that was beside the point. Mostly she hated him. A lot. Spin class was supposed to be...

Let’s compose Charley’s. Woman for Man. Lizard Club, a week ago Friday.” “We’re not doing this.” I shrugged Julie off my shoulder and stood, draining my Bloody Mary. “Only sad and desperate people do that.” Marcia narrowed her eyes at me. “Are you calling me sad and desperate?” “No,” Ice said glumly. “That would be me.” Julie and I exchanged glances...

As I tried to find the right words, one girl knocked over the other’s tower before she was done building, and a squall of anger disrupted their play, a brief tempest of...

Say Yes to the Scot: A Highland Wedding Box Set Author: Lecia Cornwall, Anna Harrington, May McGoldrick, Sabrina York Reviewer: Una Rating: A What I’m Talking About: I picked up this anthology so I could read the contribution by Lecia Cornwall. I love her Highland Fairy Tale series. However, the other three novellas were just as enchanting and enjoyable. How a Lass Wed a Highlander is a novella in the Highland Fairy Tale series. I thoroughly enjoyed this reimaging of The Princess and the Pea. I liked the interplay between Cait and the other brides. Cait’s innate kindness was a source of inner strength for her. Alex’s stubborn and...
