Review: Temptress by Lola Dodge
Temptress By Lola Dodge Paranormal Romance (Novella) June 12, 2012 Samhain Reviewed by May The girl was legendary. She’d taken more supers- villains and heroes – off the market than any other mercenary, and she was one of a handful of us who was unregistered with the bureau. Untraceable. It was assumed that her targets went missing or worse. Not to prison. Jenny Ray aka Temptress works freelance for Las Vegas hotels (security) as well as working for the police, bringing super heroes in Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–June 15th
10. I’m not going to fill up today’s top ten with Magic Mike pictures again. I swear. *shifty eyes* Of course, that means you miss the red band trailer where you see Channing’s butt.

He also said, “that if enough people read it my sweet little book might have an impact on the state of equality in this country.” Continue Reading
