On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton (Wild Aces #3) Released: January 3, 2017 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Kini and Mandi Kini: I read Fly with Me, book one in the series, earlier this year. It was a middle of the road read for me, except for the relationship between Dani and Easy. I LOVE the trope where one character loves the other from afar, but doesn’t/can’t make a move. Because I am a horrible person, I felt okay about the circumstances that allowed for Dani and Continue Reading
