The Relaunch of the Gardella Vampire Series by Colleen Gleason
Before Smexy Books, we'll call it BSB, I read The Gardella Vampire series by Colleen Gleason. Since I didn't have a blog, or twitter (my life was so bleak) I made my next door neighbor read them with me, and we had so much fun with this series. I had first heard about the books on JR Ward's message boards - I think JR Ward put a cover blurb on the first book too, and at that time it all but confirmed I would read these books. I'm so happy to find out Colleen Gleason is rereleasing this Continue Reading

10. Does the word Humpkin fill anyone else with joy? I now have Hapenis and Humpkin. My life is complete. 9. Karen Marie Moning showed up at JR Ward's book signing last week. Would have been FUN to go to. Thankfully, Liza as always has a wonderful recap of events on her blog.

Sounds like Layla and Xcor get hot and heavy in Continue Reading
