At 5:08am, my phone started to buzz. It's been ringing off the hook the last few days as I've been finishing the process for substitute teaching. But once it rang, I was awake, which led me to think, "Why not finish off that book you've been reading?" And so, it was in the early hours … Continue reading Book Review: The Patriot Bride

Recently, I put together a post with some of my favorite historical romances. So I feel that it's only fair I create a similar post for contemporary.
