A Multiple Drink Kind of Night
Why was it fancy Valentine’s Day drinks were always tinted red? Reminded me more of gore and mayhem than anything to do with romance. Which said a lot, I suppose, for my state of mind when it came to relationships and dating.
I sipped carefully at the mimosa the bartender smilingly handed me and shrugged off the sweetness. It had alcohol in it, so I guess it would do. A few of these and I might even find a way to enjoy myself tonight. Yeah, right.

Regulators Boxed Set

Rating: 4.5 #ad
The Regulator Biker Series follows Portia Anne Talbot as her life intertwines with different members of the MC. After the death of her abusive husband, she meets George Ross, boss of the Regulators, and her life changes forever.
“I stumbled on to Carolina Mac’s books online one day and haven’t stopped! The story pulls you in and never lets up. The characters are so vivid and human. You won’t get sweet mushy happily ever afters. You get realistic characters with flaws that are connected to each other in a believable way. I have read the entire series twice and have read a few other series by the author, but The Regulators Series is still my favorite.” by Amazon Customer

Over one hundred and fifty years later, Elodie Winslow, a young archivist in London, uncovers a leather satchel containing two seemingly unrelated items: a sepia photograph of an arresting-looking woman in Victorian clothing, and an artist’s sketchbook containing the drawing of a twin-gabled house on the bend of a river.
