Daddy's Home
Daddy's Home
By A.K. Alexander
This is an e-book that I am trying to read on my computer and not having much luck.  It seems when sitting here things keep drawing me away, unlike when I can escape to a comfy chair to read.  If nothing else it is helping my case that I need a Kindle with my family.

That being said if you have an e-reader and like crime drama with a really believable heroine I highly recommend this book and it is on sale for just 2.99.

Hi! Die Buying looks quite interesting. I saw it advertised somewhere else and now that I see it here, well, maybe I should add it to my pile. I only rarely read a cozy, but I do enjoy them when I do! Rae
