If you’ve read my review of Tawna Feske‘s Making Waves today, you know I spent a good deal of the time laughing while reading that book. And laughing. And laughing.

Wendy the Super Librarian‘s review of Mr. Right There All Along by Jackie Braun Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Romance 2 Aug 11 I am an unrepentant sucker for the Friends to Lovers trope.  I could blame it on the fact that I’ve been there, done that – but I think there’s more to it.  Ever notice how the [...]
