Review: Colin by Sotia Lazu
Colin by Sotia Lazu (Threefold #1) Released: March 19, 2015 Erotic Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I accepted this review request because the author mentioned this: Although the trilogy eventually involves m/f/m and m/m, this part is m/f and includes voyeurism. This is book one of three, so there is no HEA. I'm a sucker for m/f/m and m/m, so I wanted to see how it all plays out. At 56 pages, not a ton of things happen, but it's a quick and dirty read. Not deep, but dirty Continue Reading

This book not only made me laugh, a lot, but it turns into a wonderful, sweet and VERY DIRTY romance. The hero is a little awkward Continue Reading
