Welcome back! It’s the last Wednesday of April. I can hardly believe it. Does any else feel like it fly by? And my May is shaping up to be busy busy busy. How is your spring looking?

Aaron is sure that Joel is a charlatan or a con artist of some … Continue reading Copper Script by KJ Charles
RECOMMENDED: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian is $1.99! Carrie gave it a B+:
This book succeeds in that it gives an irresistible couple in sweet, goofy Rob and grumpy Marian. I adored this couple for their ability to think outside the box, their easy and complete acceptance of each other, and their banter.
