Alright, I've been in a really romancey mood lately. A really romancey mood with a really heaping scoop of M/M on top of it.

Oh my, this was one of those NetGalleys that I saw and leaped at based on the author alone. I only recently, perhaps in the last few years, started to read Grace Draven's work, and I admittedly haven't read all of it that I'd like to, but 2 of my top 3 favorite romance novels... Continue Reading →
