Deadly Beauty by M.K. Eliot Paranormal/Erotic f/f Novella Warwick House Press Jill Sorenson is back to guest review. I’m going to start with a rant. I’ve complained about the lack of quality f/f romance before so skip ahead if you’ve heard this already. Hardly anyone I know reads it. Established authors don’t write it.
