First, let’s get this out of the way, the title and cover of this book are AWFUL. So awful that I almost didn’t read this. I also almost didn’t read this because I vaguely remembered reading Reid’s Neanderthal Seeks Human and there being something about the writing that irked me. I had the same issues with this novel and it all came crashing back, but I tried not to be too judgemental WHICH IS REALLY HARD FOR ME GUYS, but it helped, I guess, because […]

They meet cute, and from that instant attraction the story […]

Kaitlyn’s Pants and the Poor Little Rich Boy
I may have been Stolkholmed by a book. Fine, it’s 3 books, but that’s just an excuse to get you to pay more money. It’s one book.

On that note, I’m not going to worry about spoilers, because you really shouldn’t read this book (series). Kaitlyn Parker is a nerd of […]
