Truly, Madly, Deeply by Alexandria BellefleurContemporary RomanceApril 30, 2024 by Avon Review by Melanie It is no secret that when a romance novel touts itself as a romantic comedy these days, I immediately give it massive side eye.

One of the things that I love about historical romance novels with queer Continue Reading
