This review required a little research from me on the genre distinction between paranormal and fantasy, so I could resolve that Widdershins is the former.

This contemporary romance features an established gay couple who meet the woman of their dreams. Can the three of them find a way to create a family? Home for Three is Queer Eye for the Straight Guy with […]
