Wow, I knew I'd read a few Kristen Ashley books this month, but that's ridiculous!

CaroB, are you reading Kristen Ashley books without me? LOL

[Lina]

Erm... Completely. Sorry, can't help myself, I'm on a KA fix.
But not the Colorado Mountain series. I'm looking forward to the BR for that.

I don't think I've looked forward to buddy reads for anything as much as I have for this series :)
