But that was only if Trey didn’t disconnect her from the pack before then No doubt she’d be subjected to a huge lecture from him when she got back. Oh yeah, he’d be on the phone to Dante within seconds. Not willing to be discouraged by anything, she instead took the Toyota Highlander and zoomed out of pack territory, waving pleasantly at Cam, who was gaping at her from the security shack. She had a spare set of keys, but they were in her room. He really was set on her not driving her baby, wasn’t he? Asshole. She hopped inside her Chevy and cursed as she saw that the keys were gone from their usual place behind the visor.

Blood royal by eric jager5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() The purported hero of the piece, Guillaume de Tignonville, provost of Paris, quickly takes a backseat to royal infighting, brazen public manipulation, and outright treason, revealing the dark, unstable side to society of that era. ![]() ![]() Though the story is ostensibly about the murder of Louis, brother to mad King Charles and frequent regent of France, it takes on a much larger scope as the uncovering of the mastermind leads to political maneuvering, civil war, and ultimately invasion by England.

This is a tender romance between a “washed up” child star and the time-trapped man who “haunts” his guesthouse. Hi there! Today I’m sharing a review for WINTER ORANGES, a paranormal M/M Christmas romance from Marie Sexton. ![]() ![]() ![]() I like the setting (the American frontier days) and the expressive illustrations. This is a wordless picture book in which a baby bear stumbles upon a log cabin. Instead of running out of the house, Goldilocks makes the beds, mends the chair, and offers her blueberries for a batch of blueberry muffins. The story continues in the traditional way until the bears return home. “Forgetting her manners,” she walks right in. While picking blueberries, Goldilocks stumbles on the three bears’ home. ![]() This is a beautiful book with a fresh ending to the traditional story. While the story didn’t especially grab us, it’s a fun new take. Instead, the bears live in a dirty cabin (with leaves and fish bones on the floor), eat porridge filled with beetles and bark, and sleep in beds made of leaves, pine needles, and bird feathers. When Goldilocks finds the bears’ home, there’s no tidy cottage. ![]() If you’d like a new perspective on the traditional story, this is a good one to check out.
