REVIEW: Their Christmas Baby Contract by Shannon Stacey

KaetrinB- Reviews / Book Reviewsbaby / bad sex / Christmas / Contemporary / fake relationship / friends-to-lovers / NetGalleyNo Comments

Dear Shannon Stacey, There are very few romance books where the main characters have bad sex but I appreciate every single one I’ve read.
