10. It's Halloween, which means I have to feature my two favorite Halloween Blunt Cards. Oh Drunk Peggy. 9. Something amazing happened this past weekend. Fiction Vixen (aka Sophia) and Smexy Books (aka me) met - IN PERSON. After years and years of friendship, and at least 3 million texts, we met. We laughed. We loved. We had an amazing time. It's not fair that we live on opposite sides of the United States. Not fair at all. If anyone ever says true friendships can't Continue Reading

Review: Break Me Down by Roni Loren
Review: Break Me Down (Loving on the Edge #8.5) by Roni Loren Contemporary/Erotic Romance Released: October 27, 2015 InterMix Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "You're a bossy thing."
