Rose’s List of 2014 New Year’s Resolutions/Goals: To be fair, only a few of my resolutions are book related. Here they are in no particular order: Walk Maddox at least once a day, every day. For those who do not know, Maddox is my 1 year of Doberman puppy. To say he is […]
Guest Post: Who Doesn’t Love A Handsomely Hot Hero? by Denise Moncrief Who doesn’t love a handsomely hot hero? Well, at least I do. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. If they were all the same, that would be boring, and then these guys wouldn’t be heroes, would they? When everyone is the […]
