REVIEW: Lover Undercover by Samanthe Beck

JaneC ReviewsContemporary / Entangled Publishing / law-enforcement / twins5 Comments

Dear Ms. Beck: Part of this book was great. The other parts made me cringe and I used SHOUTY notes at points on the PDF review copy I received. BUT, I was engaged for most of the book which is more than I can say about some of the stories ... more >
