Review: Lay it Down by Cara McKenna
Lay It Down by Cara McKenna (Desert Dogs #1) Released: August 5, 2014 Contemporary/Suspense Romance Signet Reviewed by Mandi Despite the cover or what you may have heard, this is not a motorcycle club book.

It's different from her previous work and surprised me a bit. Vince Grossier lives in a very Continue Reading

These are very short novellas so they are quick reads. Indecent..Proposal was DIRTY FUN. The heroine is very promiscuous, and Continue Reading
