The cover alone on this one intrigued me. When I saw that it was a series, I knew I had to give it a shot. I was not disappointed.

He's serious, he's reserved, but there's something underneath that can be drawn… Continue reading The Spice King by Elizabeth Camden

This book,… Continue reading Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan
