Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb

Posted on By IntrovertReader No Comments on Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb
Charlotte Lamb's Harlequin Presents romance Guilty Love is so crazy and full of over-the-top drama. I loved every wild moment of it. As always, YMMV, although this sort of book is right up my alley. But a word of warning: it handles a dark subject that may cause readers some discomfort. 5 stars Read more “Category Romance Review: Guilty Love by Charlotte Lamb”
