Diary of a Middle-Aged Romantic

A Dangerous Love The Swanlea Spinsters, Book 1 Sabrina Jeffries Stars:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (strong women; illegitimacy; birthright; LOTS of Shakespeare; you’re going to love all the characters) Heat rating:   🔥🔥🔥🔥 (see the SEX-AND-SPOILERS section, but yeah, a swing) Cover rating: So it’s just a side view of him (bonus nip shot, though), and it’s a little bland, but the model is hot and does give off a disdainful air that is classic Griff, so it gets a B .

But man, they get to that understanding while kicking and screaming, lol. Ain’t that always the truth? 😂 Damn that Squirrel! I almost forgot the COVER RATING ! This cover gets a straight up A ! Yes, I’d have loved for the h...
