Stranger Sins, Michaelbrent Collings
Uhm, excuse me, Mr. Collings, but how dare you not have a follow-up book already??

About 35% into this one, the other book got promptly abandoned. I don’t read enough romance these… Continue reading The Bodyguard, Katherine Center
Sea of Tranquility, Emily St. John Mandel
