Mouth Full by Paige Lindsay

Excerpt

How many mouths have been wrapped around your forks, your spoons, and, on rare and daring occasions, your knives? Whose lips have decorated your glasses with foggy, occasionally scarlet, kisses?

What is your Emergency? : A Review by Susan Haley of Shandi Mitchell's "The Waiting Hours"
