Dear Author: Romance Novel Reviews, Industry News, and Commentary

Dear Ms. Seville.
Denise Rossetti recommended this book to me late last year, but it took Maili ALSO recommending it to me recently to finally make me read it. I think I had about 7 hours of sleep in the three days since I started it. It’s just…brilliant. As I write this review a few days [...]
