Wicked Wednesday – Wicked Dancing at the Harlequin Party

Patrick recently provided me with a double treat — he let me review his latest novel, ONCE UPON A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN and to thank me for the review, sent along some wonderfully tasty goodies. Continue reading “Caramel Oatmeal Chewies by Patrick Sanchez”
In Memorium Monday
I know you were expecting a Guilty Pleasure today, but given the news that Kathleen Woodiwiss has passed away, I wanted to dedicate today to her since without her, the romance genre might not exist and certainly you and I would not be here at this blog today. Continue reading “In Memorium Monday”
