Dueling Reviews: Passion Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton, #1 (Introvert Reader)

Posted on June 19, 2023November 18, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Passion’s Paradise by Sonya T. Pelton is a wonderfully terrible book. However, it was oddly entertaining, like a terrible movie you watch just to shout inanities at the screen.

Blue Falcon reviews Waves of Passion by Casey Stuart, another subpar early-era Zebra historical. But at least it has a pretty cover! 1 Star
