In Bed With the Devil by Lorraine Heath $ 1.99

REVIEW: Teach Me (There’s Something About Marysburg Book 1) by Olivia Dade

[image error]

Their lesson plans didn’t include love. But that’s about to change…

When Martin Krause arrives at Rose Owens’s high school, she’s determined to remain chilly with her new colleague. Unfriendly? Maybe. Understandable? Yes, since a loathsome administrator gave Rose’s beloved world history classes to Martin, knowing it would hurt her.

But keeping her distance from a man as warm and kind as Martin will prove challenging, even for a stubborn, guarded ice queen. Especially when she begins to see h...

REVIEW x3: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang

[image error]Dear Helen Hoang,

Like Stella from The Kiss Quotient, Khai has autism. When the st...
