I remember discovering Kristen Ashley in 2012. I picked up Rock Chick and laughed and laughed, and then devoured this author's backlist. Contemporary, Fantasy... it didn't matter.

It didn't matter to me at the time though. I haven't read Continue Reading

I found that Dream Maker didn’t stray too far from Continue Reading
