B is for Boobs
Certain men should be required to wear a sports bra when riding.

Today’s Ride: A short excerpt from Bad Medicine by Red L. Jameson
BAD MEDICINE **Book 4 of the Wild Love Series, an erotic romance** When you make a deal with the devil… Don’t complain about the heat. Luckily, I like it hot.

Happy New Year! It’s a beautiful day here in the midwest. The sun is shining and it’s above freezing. No complaints from me! I’m still working on the sequel to On the Buckle and it’s going well. Hoping–hoping–to have it out this summer. It’s certainly on my list of goals for 2017! If you missed the […]
