Beyond compare

Posted on May 28, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Holly Witchell, the heroine of Penny Jordan’s Beyond Compare, suffers a bit from an overinflated ego combined with an oblivious nature. Thankfully, Drew, the wonderful hero of this book, sorts matters all out for her. 4 stars

asking for trouble ed tadiello

Category Romance Review: Asking for Trouble by Miranda Lee

Posted on May 14, 2021November 28, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Asking for Trouble by Miranda Lee a beautiful, yet virginal woman and a burn-by-love playboy find passion together. Is it enough to last? The problem with reading a much-beloved author almost 50 times is that their books begin to blend together. Plotlines get replayed. And replayed. 2 stars
