Review: Bad Attitude by K.A. Mitchell
Bad Attitude by K.A. Mitchell (Bad in Baltimore #3) M/M Contemporary Romance April 23, 2013 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi I’m a K.A. Mitchell fangirl and I’ll proudly say that. I started reading her maybe a year ago, and glommed her entire back list. Man, that was a good time. She writes very erotic m/m books but conveys so much through her love scenes. And she gives us flawed characters and explores them and makes them suffer a bit before finding true love. I just think she is a Continue Reading

In the end we went with a wedding, Continue Reading

He has to appear as if he’s trying to get a job, but Cosmo has that figured out as well. Little tricks he’s come up with to put off the interviewer to guarantee they won’t find him a suitable hire.
