Sugar & Spice and…

My oh my, this book was unsuspectingly steamy! I could not put it down! I wanted to know more about the main characters and if they could figure out their own stuff, in order to be together… I honestly was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading this book! It was definitely spicy!!

Cute but cheesy

It was cute and predictable. Nothing necessarily wrong but it was too long. The drama could’ve been cut in half.
