REVIEW: Hot as Sin by Bella Andre

Dear Ms. Andre: I admit that the one and only book I read by you was one about football and I had a fairly negative reaction to it given that so little of the football aspect was portrayed with accuracy.   I was   hoping that this would be different.   While Hot as Sin is readable, it(…)
