The nitty-gritty: Another weird and wonderful entry in one of my favorite series.

In the fourth book in […]

The nitty-gritty: Just plain fun, Royal Bastards has humor, heart, heartbreak and tension galore. Just read it! “Just stay cool,” I said. I was feeling a little excited. I’d never talked to a Zitochi before, not really. And yes, I’ll admit it. He was hot. Not in that sweaty, broad-shouldered way like the blacksmith’s apprentice, […]
