REVIEW: Caught on Camera by Meg Maguire

JaneC Reviewsfriends-to-lovers / Harlequin-Blaze14 Comments

Dear Ms. Maguire: I was unreasonably excited about reading this book as I loved your voice in Willing Victim, the imagery of your prose, and the vividness of your characters but wanted more from the emotional arc between the characters. I thought that a straight romance might deliver the entire ... more >
