REVIEW: Sun-Kissed by Laura Florand

WillafulB Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended ReadsContemporary romance / friends-to-lovers / infertility / older couple / Series9 Comments

Recommended Read

JaneB- Reviews / D Reviewsamnesia / Harlequin Presents / India Grey / infertility / Secret-Baby15 Comments

The following are two secret baby stories but very differently portrayed. In Morey’s story, the pregnancy arises out of a botched fertility experiment and in the Grey story, amnesia leading to a lost father.  I am always terribly amused when HP authors manage to bring in more than one romance ... more >
