I have been hearing a lot of chatter amongst the Cannonball Kissing Book aficionados about a book called Kulti. So I went looking to see what I could find. I found an author name and it looked like she had written a lot of books. As I was perusing her books I noticed one for $.99.

The Nice Guy and a Love Life in Hibernation

He’s some kind of former SEAL government operative – though he claims to work in private security – but she doesn’t know that when she starts throwing […]
