REVIEW: Take the Edge Off by TA Moore

[image error]

You don’t end up an ex-car thief and ex-con because you’re good at resisting temptation… and Cal Tate’s rich new boss is very tempting.

Cal has always been the bad boy lovers don’t bring home to Mom, but now he’d like someone other than a debt collector waiting for him at home. He has a legit job as a driver with his brother’s company, he’s got a doctor on the hook, and he still can’t help crawling into bed with Joseph Bailey.

Joe has never met anyone as easy in their own skin as his new dri...

What Was Perfect by Jolie Moore $ 4.99

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown

When this book was published in 1970, it was hailed as one of the first books to chronicle the destruction of the American Indian tribes in the midwest and western United State solely from the American Indian perspective.
