This will be my only book for at least this week. Don't think I will be able to fit in another romance with what I need for other challenges. Work is kicking my ass. My girl transferred to another facility (*whine* I miss her) ........so I'm doing my job and her job until at least February 4th.

Ladies... I tell you I’m not having much luck with this category. So far I’ve started 2 books in this category and they have both been DNF. Which is odd for me. Anyway, I’ve just downloaded a good old fashion Lorelei James book and I’m feeling good about it...
ok, rant over. Hope everyone else going well. 😁
