Secretly Yours by Tessa BaileyA Vine Mess #1Contemporary RomanceFebruary 7, 2023- Avon ARC Review by Angela I started and stopped this book multiple times before I finally finished it after the news from Harpercollins Union that they had reached an agreement and it was okay to post reviews for their books again. I wanted this to have the same magic as It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker- which were both 5-star, A+ reads for me. Alas, while I did enjoy this book and plan Continue Reading

I’m coming from a place where I unabashedly loved this book before I even read it, and I don’t know that I am the most fair and unbiased reader. Armenian-Americans have very little representation in the general media, Continue Reading
