Smex Scene Sunday
Something About Witches by Joey W. Hill is the start of a new paranormal romance series. Erotic with a BDSM edge, I really enjoyed this book. Derek Stormwind is a very old sorcerer/gunslinger. And he is mighty sexy. He calls Ruby “girl” during the intimate moments.

Ever. Say it.” Continue Reading
