Review: TAKE ME HOME by Inez Kelley
Review for TAKE ME HOME by Inez Kelley
I had a tough reading round-up last week. A couple of books that were highly recommended to me which basically had heroes who were complete and utter jerks.
I'm not on board with that. Male characters can be flawed, real, domineering, and have integrity at the same time. You can't just call any old guy a "hero." A real hero has to earn that term. Earn it.
Okay, enough about that. Let's move on to this sweet book!
I have been looking forward to this one for a...

A Perfect Rant
So I did a couple of things last night that are pretty rare for me.
(No, I didn't work out at the gym.)
(No, I didn't cook dinner...ha ha! Funny.)
(No, I didn't flat-iron my hair.)
What I did is...
A. Read a PRINT book. Carumba!
B. Read a mainstream contemporary romance.
C. Read my first ever Kristan Higgins book.
Last night I was stuck in bed because Lucy my weenie dog fell asleep on my lap and I didn't have the heart to move her.
So I reached over to my nightstand to grab the first thing I could for...
