A Touch of Flame by Jo Goodman Releases: June 5, 2018 Western Historical I loved this book. It's not the fastest paced, or the sexiest but it completely worked for me. Our hero is Ben Madison, who is the newly elected sheriff of Frost Falls, Colorado. Taking place in 1898, Ben is the most easy-going, never-to-get-riled hero I've read. That doesn't mean he is stupid or doesn't care, he just likes to observe and play along real nice with the folks, to keep everyone peaceful and happy. He puts Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses
Welcome to another week of Kini’s Friday Kisses. This week was filled with half completed reads. I started Binding Law by Micah Persell recently. The main set up is that a woman hires a gigolo and then they end up in a fake relationship. These are all things that I love.

This one seems to be more sex focused than the previous book. And while that is ok, Continue Reading
