Happy Thursday everyone. Since Monday, I have been counting down the days till Friday and the weekend. In my town, it’s the annual Art & Wine festival.

The weather should be good and it’ll be nice to be outside after being cooped up at work for the week. One Perfect Kiss by Jaci Burton (Hope Continue Reading

After seeing a flutter of activity online surrounding Devney Perry's Timid , I had to check it out.

Willa Doon has always been shy. Her quiet demeanor was something she’s always embraced. That is, until Jackson Page moves to town. The one man she desperately wants to take Continue Reading

I read a book I think is vitally important and I love it and I can’t even think about how to collect myself. I'm really trying to pull it together because you need coherency and all I can think of is the precise angle to just start shoving Block Shot into reader's hands and eyeballing (with intensely raised brows) until they finish it! Annnnd that is probably not the Continue Reading
