Fifty Shades of Controversy over Fifty Shades of Grey

Last week I read an interesting post by Dannah Gresh on the book that Nathan Bransford blogged about selling 10 million copies in 6 weeks–Fifty Shades of Grey.

Book Review: Beth K. Vogt’s Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here | Beth K. Vogt Allison Denman is supposed to get married in five days, but everything is all wrong. The huge wedding. The frothy dress. And the groom. Still, kissing the groom’s brother in an unguarded moment is decidedly not the right thing to do. How could she have made such…
