I love, love, love a marriage in trouble trope in a romance book. It’s different. It’s not hero/heroine meets hero/heroine, flirt, court, say I love you. No. These two are already in love but circumstances have either forced them apart, or lack of communication has driven them to feel alone. And now we get to see how they put it all back together again, which can be even more sexy than new love. In a marriage in trouble trope, the couple knows how to love to each other, but sometimes they have Continue Reading

Big Boy by Ruthie Knox Mandy’s life has gone into an upheaval in the past year after her sister and her family were killed by a Continue Reading
Strangers On a Train Series–a Chat with Meg Maguire *Giveaway*

Whose characters are slightly less kinky and usually slightly less crazy. But only usually. Strangers on a train is a five-book series featuring not only yourself but Ruthie Knox, Samantha Continue Reading
