Mandi: Let me quickly recap. The first five Fever books are my everything. Iced was amazing. Burned - eh - I didn't love it. It felt like a filler book. I was disappointed with Jada and Mac and Barrons drama. (Previous reviews) Feverborn - more of the same disappointment. Where are we going in this story? What are we heading to? Did anything really happen in this book?? Sheena and I are going to break it down. Please be aware there are SPOILERS Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – January 15th
10. It really does. Link. 9. Alan Rickman passed away. I can't deal with it. I can't. I loved him in many roles but Colonel Brandon will always be my one true love. For those that adore Alan Rickman, you should read The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker by Leanna Renee Heiber. The hero is a dedication to Alan Rickman, and it's fabulous. 8. The cast of Friends is reuniting - kinda, sorta. A two-hour special will air February 21 to honor Dave Burrows who Continue Reading

I read it in one sitting and had a smile on my face. Keira has had bad luck in the dating department. She is super Continue Reading
