Smex Scene Sunday
Retro Smex Scene Sunday! Can we call a book published in 2007, retro? Probably an overkill. But I feel like the Immortals After Dark series started so long ago and made such an impact in my paranormal reading. These books made me actually laugh! (Not just "lol"). They are witty, smart, violent and super sexy. Guys - I read this book before I owned a Kindle. WAS THERE SUCH A TIME??? Which means, I have to type out this scene by hand. #effort. This month, Ana Coqui is hosting #RomBkLove (both Continue Reading

Rhys Ford’s Sin and Tonic Blog Tour **Giveaway**
Time for Last Call at the bar. Well, at least for the Sinners boys. We’re at the final book in the series and I want to say thank you to everyone who’s been with me on this six year journey.
