REVIEW: Dark Soul: Volumes 3, 4, and 5 by Aleksandr Voinov

SunitaA- Reviews / B+ Reviews / Recommended Readsbisexual hero / LGBTQ / m/m / m/m/f / mafia / Riptide Publishing / short stories8 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Mr. Voinov, Your Dark Soul series has been a roller-coaster ride for me. It is not a genre romance, even though it has some very romantic moments.

Dear Ms. Hart, Two of the many things I enjoyed about your erotic novella collection, Pleasure and Purpose, are the setting and the heroines’ background.
