Loved this book!
Loved this book! Loved the two timelines colliding the story. Intriguing story! Made me wish I was there. Delicious! I’m so happy there are two more in this series! I’m a fan!
The performance was good. Emily Sutton Smith does a great job in general. The only thing I didn’t like was Louique’s accent. All else was great! Still 5 stars. Definitely recommend!
