I received a copy of this book from the author, well her husband actually, who I was friends with in college, in exchange for an honest review.  This is her first published novel, I’m not sure if she’s written much in the past or this was her first attempt.  While it isn’t the type of […]

This is one that I believe I got a free copy of at the Romantic Times Convention here in Kansas City in May 2013.  I know, I know, I’m way behind on this series, but it was one I kept meaning to pick up, and never did.  It was definitely a good story.  I’ve seen […]

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting.  This week I’m stepping out of the normal box for this meme.  I’m very sad at the moment, as it seems two books that I traded for on YA Book Exchange may not be […]
