And, on a completely superficial level, I really don't like that cover lol. But it does sound like it has more substance than I would initially assume. I'll have to kepe this in mind when I want an adult romantic read. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-63395540595292425582013-05-14T22:47:39.203+01:002013-05-14T22:47:39.203+01:00Whoa, what are you doing to me today, Rachel? 4.5 ...Whoa, what are you doing to me today, Rachel? 4.5 stars, for a self pubbed book, about an arranged marriage?
