In this interview, she discusses her two Christmas romances, His Perfect Parter, a … Continue reading Interview with Priscilla Oliveras
Her Christmas Cookie by Katrina Jackson. 2018. Her Christmas Cookie is the fourth book in the Welcome to Seaport series by Katrina Jackson. All of the books are wonderful.

From Scratch by Katrina Jackson. 2017. I found this contemporary m/m/f polyamorous erotic romance utterly delightful!

I laughed out loud … Continue reading Review of From Scratch
