Smexy Top Ten – December 22
10. I'm just keeping it classy around here. 9. I'm not done yet (I'm at 35%)- but just released: The Hookup by Kristen Ashley. The first in her new self-publlished series features a new girl in town who ends up in Johnny Gamble's bed. But is he still in love with his ex?? I doubt it but you know - suspense! This is "standard" Kristen Ashley, which is not a criticism. I find Ashley to be a comfort read for me - and this is def cozy. And sexy. ;) Late edit to say that I forgot Tori was Continue Reading

I LOVE Hallmark movies, but they never feature more than kisses on the mouth. Sex isn’t the only thing I love about romance novels, but I usually like Continue Reading
