Minder by Kate Kaynak

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Minder is the type of book that makes one wish for a rainy day so they have an excuse to do nothing but sit and read, because once you start reading Minder you aren't going to want to put it down.



The romance between Maddie and Trevor is so sweet it melted my heart. The connection between them was something special and gives a whole new meaning to "soul mate." I fell in love with both of the characters. They were easy to like. I loved that Ms...

21 Days until the release of This Blackened Night, The Order: Book 3!



Every author has a set of characters more dear to their hearts than any others. In most cases, this stems from these characters being among the first ever created.

And now it feels like a dear friend is moving away. With the...
