He’s following the beat of his heart. Will a moment of impromptu harmony cue a romantic duet? Ella: Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m not the most self-confident person on the planet. In fact, I’m pretty sure I have, well… none. That’s why I followed David all the way to UChicago. He’s my boyfriend. The one with the meticulous plans for our future. If I just cling tight […]

Review: Druid Vices and a Vodka by Annette Marie

Druid Vices and a Vodka (The Guild Codex: Spellbound #6) by Annette Marie My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Urban Fantasy Age Category: New Adult/ Adult Type of romance: MF Blurb: I’ve said it before, but sometimes I’m a bad person.

And I’m not sure which applies to a certain dark druid/wanted criminal/reluctant friend of mine. His transgressions […]

Unfortunately, it wasn’t so obvious how many people would dump them in the wild… Sam Wentworth grew up with nothing. She’s worked tirelessly just to get through college and earn […]

Wealthy sons of Port Governors aren’t supposed to be ejected from the British Navy after less than a year, they’re not supposed to like pulp romances or daydream about the handsome heroes of the stories instead of the heroines. When my Father issued me an order to marry a woman, I knew I had no choice but to make my own way in […]
