Remedial Rocket Science by Susannah Nix Romantic Comedy/Adult August 21, 2017 Self Published Reviewed by Kini I was looking forward to this book, as it features as STEM focused heroine.

This book really fell short of my expectations. It wasn’t terrible, but it didn’t wow me with its brilliance Continue Reading

They’re obstructing my ability to rub my huge, hard cock against your ass,” he complains. I laugh and turn in his arms. “Wow.

I enjoyed it. Book two is already out. 8. Did you hear that The Continue Reading
