Guess what? It's interview time! I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Erin Marie Basset! The amazing author behind, "The Thorne at My Side,". Join us as we discuss the BTS of this amazing spicy and entertaining romance. Erin transports us into the world of match making and irresistible characters as they navigate a new relationship.   

There is much to uncover and plenty of fun waiting for you!

Synopsis:
The Thorne at My Side is all your favorite enemies-to-lovers romantic comedies rolled into one.

Okay, time for a reality check. I'm 36 and my career is exactly where I want it to be. My personal life? Not so much. I have had less than seven, but more than five, second dates in the last three years. Even fewer third dates. Time to outsource. SMS Connect is DC's hottest matchmaking service and I'm hoping it lives up to the hype. So far so good. My match, DCFox, is incredible. 

The problem is, DCFox is only available via text for twelve weeks. SMS Connect rules, not mine. So while I wait to meet him I've gotten myself into a no-strings-attached, bedroom arrangement with Austin Thorne, the man who stands for everything I'm against. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

With a week to go before the presidential election, my body isn't ready to quit Austin Thorne but my heart is all in with DCFox. What if my physical connection with DCFox leaves something to be desired? What if Austin isn't the silver-spoon-fed baby billionaire I thought he was?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
