My thoughts after reading: "The Virgin: Revenge" by J. Dallas

I was seventeen when I met Drake Gallagher. Seventeen, naive, foolish…and in love. Or so I thought. 

That summer, and the months that followed, set the course of my life.

Ten years later, I’m still struggling to put the pieces of me back to together.

It’s time to stop struggling. It’s time to take control…and maybe, it’s time for a little revenge.

He doesn’t have time for naive little virgins?

“The Virgin: Revenge” was a cute, fun read. I enjoyed the premise of the...

My thoughts after reading: "Knowing Jack" by Rachel Curtis

I am not a drama queen, although everyone thinks I am now. When I got a few na...
