Mini Reviews for June

June 22, 2015 by Tori 8 Comments

  Tori's Mini Reviews:    Need Me by Tessa Bailey Romance Contemporary RATING: C The second story in Bailey’s Broke and Beautiful series centers around a student, her professor, and the forbidden love affair.

I found Honey to be selfish in her objective to seduce Ben. Not until the Continue Reading

My name is Lia Johansen, and I was named for a prisoner Continue Reading
