RITA Reader Challenge: Hidden Away by Maya Banks

This review was written by Randee. This story was nominated in the Best Romantic Suspense category. The summary:      Most people would take an all-expenses-paid trip to the beach in a heartbeat.

We're back with more answers from the editor who is living a very fine life in my basement. She installed a wine cellar, and says it's a job requirement.

Remember that editor I have tied up in my basement? She’s been fed and I shared my wine supply because I’m not TOTALLY evil, and she’s consented to answer some of your questions from our original entry. I’ve got quite a few answers – she’s really freaking wordy, my GOD – so I’ll break them up in to several posts. Kim in Hawaii asked Do you read bloggers’ reviews and readers’ comments?  If yes, does … Continue reading Ask the Editor: Lots of Questions, Lots of Answers
