S - Samson's Lovely Mortal by Tina FolsomRead this book last year, and it is absolutely yummy! Have read through book 2 or 3 in the series, and want to read more of them :)
Christie I have the first 2 on my Kindle, and want to get the rest of them. They are freakin fantastic! <3
The answer to that question is YES YES AND YES! I will wait for 3 first, have this ocd thing about reading a series out of order. I can't do it.
Between work and school I don't get much time anymore. Plus this being my first time I think I should probably start out pretty easy :].When it comes to spring I definitely love:
