She typically writes emotional and incredibly sexy romances. As a side note, Bell was part of a group of authors, along with Care McKenna, Charlotte Stein, Amy Jo Continue Reading

Captivated by Tessa Bailey and Eve Dangerfield Released: June 11, 2018 Erotic Romance Self Publishe Reviewed by Mandi I've loved Tessa Bailey since her first book - and I just discovered Eve Dangerfield last year and I really like her voice.
