And she sees the lifespan of every...

My thoughts on: "Believe" by Erin McCarthy

Robin used to be a party girl… until she got black out drunk and woke up in bed with her best friend's boyfriend. Now she's faced with being THAT girl, and couldn't be more disgusted with herself. She can't even tell her friends the reason for her sudden sobriety and she avoids everyone until she meets Phoenix—quiet, tattooed, and different in every way that's good and oh, so bad…

My thoughts after reading: "The Virgin: Redemption" by J. Dallas

The Virgin: Redemption by J. Dallas
4 1/2 Stars!

Not long ago I reviewed J. Dallas’s novella “The Virgin: Revenge.” I liked it a lot. Well, I’m back with Dallas’s “The Virgin: Redemption” and I liked it better.

In “Redemption” we learn a l...
