Bound to the Shadow Prince by Ruby Dixon | Book Review
I feel that I should warn you right off the bat that this is a long read. Ruby has a few other books like this and I felt that I should let you know that it took me a couple of sittings to read this. Now that said if you like fantasy romance this is…
Thank You, Next by Kathryn Freeman | Book Review
I’m so glad I managed to fit this into my review schedule because I devoured it in one afternoon! I will say that I did get frustrated with Molly at one point which is why I don’t watch dating shows. They drive me up a wall because some guy (and girls) are just there to…
