A Visit and Giveaway From Moira Rogers
THE BACKSTORY From the time we announced the final Red Rock ebook in 2009, people have been asking us when we'd go back to the Sanctuary world and write more about werewolves and their witch rivals.

But people kept asking, and we kept saying, "Well, what if...okay, no, but maybe if..." A watched pot never boils, and I'm starting to think a watched Continue Reading
Guest Review: Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
I’m happy to have Shelly back with another guest review. She reads a lot in the New Adult genre and wanted to share her review of Hopeless. As I was looking through Goodreads and scanning the internet for other reviews of this book I found it quite intriguing that it either got 5-stars or 1-star reviews. Nothing in the middle. There was either immense love (as Shelly has for it) or immense dislike. One person who really disliked this book is Brie from Romance Around the Corner. I encourage you Continue Reading

Now, this example isn’t a romance but rather a mystery series, but it still makes my point. Love triangle plots are Continue Reading
