I can’t lie. The cover of Second Chance Summer by Jill Shalvis drew me in. I made it to the ripe old age of 34 and I’ve been reading consistently for the last 12 years or so and had never read a book by Jill Shalvis.

ARC Review: Coming Home for Christmas by RaeAnne Thayne *Stephanie’s Review*

Kennedy is a bit of a pathetic character. Absolutely nothing has gone right in her life. Her saving grace is her backbone. Kennedy will not give up without one hell of a […]
