I love reading erotica with heart, and Kylie Scott nails that so well, even in a short story like this one. It's got scorching hot sex, but there's love, and I really adore that. Such a talented writer. Can't wait to read 'Skin'.

Joan Hi Louise, Thankyou for inviting me to Good Reads. I will follow your page with interest, as my former mentor, and will be setting up my profile and books soon. I have been continuing my writing, as well as helping others get their books in print. Just completed writing a teens Fantasy Fiction adventure novel. Very excited.
I belong to a book club, and am always looking for great books to read.

Love and Best Wishes, Joan
