Book Review – Unbreak My Heart by Nicole Jacquelyn

Book Review – Unbreak My Heart by Nicole Jacquelyn

Unbreak my Heart sounded like it was going to be really good. I was really intrigued by the book's hook—girl falls in love with her best friend's husband after she dies tragically. This book didn't deliver the good solid romance that I look for and I didn't care about the ...

Audiobook Review – Maestra by L.S. Hilton

Audiobook Review – Maestra by L.S. Hilton

Maestra is an erotic thriller featuring a femme fatale who gives no apologies for her murderous ways. She wants what she wants and she takes it. I saw this book everywhere, as it was being heavily marketed and promoted by the publisher. So I decided to give the audiobook a ...

Book Review – The Story of Us by Dani Atkins
