Cut & Blow flash in neon lights above the glass front of the outdated shop, but inside young talent shave and layer hair while making small talk with clients, that over […]
Out of the Ashes is the latest book by RC Boldt. It’s a standalone story, but the characters from previous books by the author play a part in this book. In Out of Love, Hendy went missing, his faith unknown. I knew RC Boldt wouldn’t let a man go missing like that, and I’m glad she gives us his story. […]

I real like Chris and Charlotte’s sweet story. […]
