Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Ashley: I don’t know what it is about your biker heroes, but they seem to work for me on almost every level. I loved Tack Allen from Motorcycle Man, and have really enjoyed the Chaos series heroes as well. Turns out, Joker is no exception. Carson Steele is abused. ... more >

Dear Kristen Ashley, I pre-ordered Soaring and was a little bummed I had to wait a few days before I could dive in once it downloaded to my reader.  Your books have become a kind of comfort read for me.  I’ve a fair idea of what I’m going to get ... more >
