Nicola, I just hope you didn't create one of those "cellies" or whatever they call themselves. Those girls are frightening, lol! Other than that, well done!
No "cellie" here..
Just a lover of good books!!
And I am inclined to believe that Nicola is nowhere near through with recommendations for me!
Bring 'em on!!
Welcome to the madness, J'Nell... if you like paranormal romance, I have a list as long as my arm. LMK when you're done with Ms. Ward and we'll talk, LOL.
Meantime, I just picked up Victoria Dahl's latest contemp and I love her between-friends dialog so much.
I think every new PNR lover needs to read BDB. It's required reading. :)
