For context, you need to know that I’m a big paranormal fan, I enjoy fake relationships a great deal, and I love a steamy book. So this book should have been perfect for me and the first 60% absolutely was. Unfortunately, it hit the skids at about 70% and didn’t really get back on track properly after that. Mackenzie is an ER doctor in Denver and she’s a shifter and an omega. The rumours are … Continue reading The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson

For reference, I don’t like grimdark books, BDSM is so not my jam, and I am not interested in vampires. Sarah: … Continue reading The Rec League: Demons
It’s the eighth night of Hanukkah! One year we tried to toast marshmallows over all the lit menorot on the final night, but mostly the marshmallows got sooty instead of toasty. So we toasted them over the stove burners and ate s’mores anyway. Thank you so much for celebrating with us this year! I hope you’ve had fun. So, my Hanukkah wishes for you tonight: may you bring light with you wherever you go, and … Continue reading Hanukkah 2023 Night 8: Kate Spade Pink Tote!
