About Me:

I am a wife, mom of 3 teenagers, and I love to read. I do not limit myself to one genre, but do have some that I prefer. Depending on my mood I will choose a book from RomCom, Romance, Dark Romance, Suspense/Thriller, YA, NA, and SciFi/Fantasy. I would love to share the books I read with you so that you may enjoy them too!

It takes so much courage for an author to put their work out there for the public to read. Then to subject themselves to the opinions of those readers. You will not find disrespectful reviews on this page. Even if a book is not for me, it may be something someone else enjoys. I will not belittle or be nasty to any author, regardless of subject matter. No bashing of person or writing will be tolerated.

My goal by creating this blog is to help authors get their books noticed and to help introduce readers to authors they may not usually read.

Also, please note that any links contained on this website I DO NOT profit from. I do receive advanced reader copies of some of the books I review, but I promise to never let that sway my true feelings on the piece of work.

I am willing to help out as many authors/PAs/promotion companies as I can, but please know that my calendar doesn't always allow for a certain time frame. Please feel free to contact me and I can see if I am able to help. This is a one woman show ;) You can visit my Facebook Page (Like/Follow) at https://www.facebook.com/Reading-Escape-Reviews-279044492594921/ and my email is readingescapereviews@gmail.com

Thank you for stopping by! Oh, and be sure to get on the 2017 Goodreads Reading Challenge. I will be asking periodically for your actual and goal number!

Educating Dr. Mayfield by Rebecca Heflin

Title: Educating Dr. Mayfield
Series: Sterling University Book Three
Author: Rebecca Heflin
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 5, 2017 

Creative writing professor, Dr. Delaney Driscoll, has an ambitious plan: establish a new degree in romantic fiction. There’s just one problem, and his name is Dr. Devon Mayfield.
Devon, the gorgeous, uptight, all-business college dean and newest member of the curriculum committee thinks Delaney’s proposed degree is useless and a waste of university resources. What’s worse, he convinces the rest of the committee to follow his lead. 
Delaney is instantly attracted to Devon’s Darcy-like broodiness—until he stands in the way of her career-long goal. And like Austen’s famous character, Devon’s first impression of her is far from flattering. But even as the two clash over academic philosophies, Delaney becomes the teacher and Devon the student in a remedial course on love. 
In the end, can Delaney convince Devon that her effervescent love of life is exactly what he needs to forget the pain of his past and embrace a future with her?


Delaney is out to lunch with her best friends when she spots Mr. Tall, Dark, and Brooding.  Little did she know that Mr. TDB is now the Dean of Sterling, and the person Delaney will be answering to.  Upon their meeting you can tell that Devon seems to be a bit snobby or high and mighty.  Delaney is very laid back and go with the flow.  Throughout the story Delaney is a very strong female lead and doesn't take much guff from anyone.  Devon is very stubborn, yet compassionate.  

I liked Devon and Delaney's story a lot.  I am giving Educating Dr. Mayfield 4 stars.  I really enjoyed the story line and the light banter between the two of them.  I loved how Delaney pushed Devon's limits a little and made him feel things he thought he didn't deserve or was incapable of feeling.  There was a few times where the back and forth felt a little drawn out, but overall I really enjoyed Educating Dr. Mayfield.
