Normally I am a huge fan of Julia Quinn’s books but something just rubbed me the wrong way with this one. Maybe it was the fact that Poppy is kidnapped and held against her will. James is a spy so he is “forced” to kidnap Poppy when she discovers …
Hi, everyone! It’s been a little while since my last post. How the heck is it July already? This year is seriously going by so fast. I wanted to pop in today with just some random updates on what I’ve been doing and reading lately. …

However, a wrench is thrown into her plan when she finds out that the ex-fiance she hasn’t seen in over 10 years is the new president of the school.

Anahera has come back to the small, remote town of Golden Cove …
