I’ve recently read 40, and think my son has sent 41 and 42 for Crimbo! 43 is on pre-order. Tell me you’re in love with Roarke as well!

The Icoves should have done that……………..

Catherine

I am on book 36 on my re-reading of the series. Calculated in Death. Eve is terrified as Trina is coming to treat her to prepare her for the premier of the icove vid. I can so relate to her as that would be my worst nightmare too as I dont wear makeup, gunk or high heels either! Sadly that is where all similarity ends.

0
Lindy

I can sympathise with her over the heels, but I’d love the rest of her wardrobe! I’d also love to have a Trina on tap, so I could just lie back and be licked into shape before going anywhere! Needless to say, I love Galahad as well – I’m a Crazy Cat Woman!??
