Rewritten by Bronwyn Green (Bound #8) Released: September 27, 2017 Contemporary/BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi This one had its ups and downs for me.

I enjoyed the premise-a bad boy redemption with his frenemy's little sister-only I found the main leads were both immature and ridiculous acting for Continue Reading
