Thank You Bunnybean!
Bunnybean is a lovely and generous Cannonballer and I am loving my Christmas books! I’m 80% through with A Notorious Countess Confesses and it’s a perfect reprieve from holiday stress and the persistent rain that’s been harshing our Christmas buzz. Eve was a courtesan, and is now a widowed Countess who moves to Pennyroyal Green. The local Vicar, Adam, is a self-contained man of such striking appearance that all of the local women fairly swoon when he appears. They have good smolder and the supporting […]

Holy Crap Guys, These are Great!
I received Red Rising from Scootsa1000 (THANKS!!!) and ordered the sequel, Golden Son before I was even finished the first book. These books are bloodydamn great and you should buy them both immediately.
