#BookReview SWEET THING by Renee Carlino #NewAdult #romance

Sweet Thing by Renee Carlino
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I've sat on this review for over a month. Yeah, Will is hot, he's sweet, and too good to be true. He was never really a bad boy, just a guy from the suburbs who didn't fit in with his ordinary family. And he's a true artist, very inspirational.

#BookReview THE IMMORTAL HIGHLANDER by Karen Marie Moning #PNR

The Immortal Highlander by Karen Marie Moning
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Of course this is a disaster to t...
