I really wanted to like No One Needs To Know by Amanda Grace but unfortunately right from the beginning I had this unmistakable feeling that it was not going to match up to the potential which I had seen in the blurb. I just wasn’t pulled into the story the way I thought I would […]
Allison: Open Road Summer | Emery Lord | Book Review
July 31, 2014
