"Stir Me Up" by Sabrina Elkins Book Blitz

I am so excited to participate in the "Stir Me Up" book blitz! I've read and reviewed this book and it is awesome! It is easily one of my favorite books I've read this year.

Review of Forbidden Surrender...

“Forbidden Surrender” is the first book by Priscilla West I’ve read and I was pleasantly surprised. It was well written, well thought out and had good character development.
