So that he wouldn’t be in a state of constant keen awareness that […]

MY THOUGHTS One of my favorite tropes is reunion romances and A Match of the Century by Cathy Maxwell was going to be that. However, I was hugely disappointed. I really tried to soldier on and finish the book, but I just couldn’t do it! I finally gave up at 79% and decided to just let it go and mark it as DNF. What did not work for […]

Sarah’s Surrender is an e-novella that follows right after the second book Bound by Bliss and centers […]
