What I read this week: Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep Crown of Shards #1 Fantasy October 2, 2018 by Harper Voyager Favorite Quote: "Traitors always pay for their sins," I hissed.

Review: How She Likes it by Carla de Guzman
How She Likes it by Carla de Guzman Romance Contemporary 2018 Midnight Books Reviewed by Kini I picked this book up after seeing it teased on Twitter. Guzman is part of #romanceclass on Twitter and this was my first read by her. The heroine is an heiress and the hero is her assistant. I love when an author uses this trope and I was curious to see how the power dynamic would be portrayed. It was no squicky at all and worked well for me. Isabel is the CEO of a make-up company and in Continue Reading
