REVIEW: The Best Laid Plans by Lauren Gallagher

KaetrinB Reviewsadoption / bisexual / Catholic / Contemporary / Erotic-Romance / Gay / Islam / menage / pregnancy / queer14 Comments

It’s a foolproof strategy…until the emotional balance shifts. After yet another adoption falls through, Gabe is ready to give up, and Shahid isn’t far behind him.
