Playing House by Ruby Lang (Uptown #1)Released: August 12, 2019Contemporary NovellaCarina Press Before I share my thoughts on Ruby Lang's newest book, let me say that I really enjoy her previous work. Acute Reactions and Hard Knocks are adorable and I highly recommend them. Playing House didn't live up to my expectations. I think the biggest problem is that it's a short novella. The book starts strong when we meet our protagonists, Oliver Huang and Fay Liu. They have been acquaintances Continue Reading

In this story we are told that charmers are rare, Continue Reading
