If this is your request, my apologies! But I hope you get some great reading suggestions.

Tara: Meghan O’Brien writes a lot of … Continue reading The Rec League: Erotic Romances without BDSM Elements

In order to fit my review in the wordcount requested by the Smart Bitches, I basically had to resort to bulleted lists and incomplete sentences. It was horrifying.
