Review: A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev
A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev Released: October 28, 2014 Contemporary Romance Kensington Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: I love you. That's what he was thinking. He wanted to mouth it to her. He wanted to whisper it into her lips, into every secret place in her body. He wanted to scream it out in front of the entire world. When this book arrived unsolicited in the mail, I immediately turned it over and read the back blurb, because a Bollywood book intrigued me. The blurb Continue Reading
