Eric Jerome Dickey has been in my upper echelon of favorite of fave authors for more than a decade.

So, I revisited my initial thoughts and feelings after reading this gem and thought about what I most wanted to share and finally came up with some words that Continue Reading
Sheena’s Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
Happy Hump Day! Time to share the romance quotes this week that either made me swoon or scramble for my pearls for some serious clutching! This week's wistful quote is from Rider's Revenge by Jamie Begley and is book 10 in one of my cherished, motorcycle club (MC) romance series, The Last Riders. The Last Rider novels feature a MC comprised of former service men who formed an unbreakable bond in the armed forced and when they all got out, they formed their club, bought a huge chunk of Continue Reading
