Smexy’s Top Ten – July 17
10. He speaks to my cheese-filled, wine-sloshed soul. (link) 9. JR Ward has released the cover for her next BDB book, The Beast.

Soul Deep by Pamela Clare released June 30, but I only just heard about it this week. The reason I mention it is because it features a heroine who is 45 and a hero who is 63. Older than the average Continue Reading
