MY CURRENT READ
The First (Few) Lines in WHITE HOT: A wise man once said, “A human mind is the place where emotion and reason are locked in perpetual combat. Sadly for our species, emotion always wins.”
I am a HUGE Ilona Andrews fan. I loved BURN FOR ME, the first book in the series, and I am enjoying the second.
Good luck to all Tackle Your TBR Read-a-Thon members on meeting your goals and winning some prizes! 😀
