A lot happens in this final installment of the Insiders trilogy.  Bailey, Kash, and the entire family are mourning a huge loss while trying to outwit Calhoun Bastien.  With unexpected friends and double-crosses, it’s hard to keep track of who’s friend or foe in this book.

Review:  Unlikely Queen by T. L. Smith

The blurb for this book intrigued me, especially since I’ve been on a paranormal kick lately. The storyline kept my attention and I liked Talia and Tatiana, but I felt like there was something missing. The world-building left me feeling like I’d stepped into the middle of a story and trying to figure out how […]

Happy 10th Anniversary to FIFTY SHADES OF GREY!

“Gone is the ubiquitous book cover of old, replaced by a silver flourish on a dark blue background. The design, a wink and a nod to Ana and Christian’s relationship, came from James herself: Look closely and you’ll see the flourish is really a (flogger). ‘I just thought, why don’t we do this and (the […]
