Series: Know When to Walk Away, Know When to Run
By May. Just a few nights ago I sat down to order the Tara Janzen “Steele Street” series as a gift. If you’re not familiar with it – it’s a very sexy, fun, over the top romantic suspense series that has plenty of black ops, twists, intrigue, hot cars, and smexy time. Anyhow, as I went to order I realized that there are eleven books in the series. This made me frown, because I can only recall about five or six that I read and loved. Which leaves about half the series that I definitely Continue Reading

The Gravedigger’s Brawl by Abigail Roux M/M Romantic Suspense/Thriller October 15, 2012 Riptide Publishing Reviewed by Helyce The Gravedigger’s Brawl was such a wonderful surprise! I have to admit, I chose to read it simply because it’s written by Abigail Roux and well, I don’t have to think twice about reading anything written by her. I had reservations though as I am not a fan of spooky reads and I especially dislike ghost stories because I don’t like to be scared! Halloween might Continue Reading
