Ohhh, I want to go to Brighton! That was my first thought when I read the title of this anthology.

Book Review: Tell Me Sweet by Misty Urban
It's very rare that I find myself missing a book a few days after I finished it. This is one of those books. It's also one of those novels that starts at a simmer, then builds to a slow boil, and then becomes nearly impossible to put down! That's one of my favorite styles! The... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Surrender to the Earl by Gayle Callen
I think I'll start this tonight, I said at bedtime, followed by "just one chapter." The next thing I knew, it was 11:35 and my cat was pacing back and forth, swishing her tail against my face and trying to sit on my phone. I was reading on a Kindle app. She didn't like that... Continue Reading →
