Reviews

[Leslie Ann · Rating 2 out of 5]

I love the setting and overly fluffy descriptions of the natural environment. This book would be much shorter (&better) if Melanie read Jane Eyre and had a vibrating eggplant. Why did I expect a 80s romance novel to be anything other than patriarchal garbage though, that’s on me
