Boy sees girl, boys falls for girl, boy saves girl….happily ever after. As I got older, the stories turned steamier and more intricate, but the basics never changed.
Now, my books are still full of romance but the naughty bits are naughtier, my hero’s are obsessed alpha types and my heroines are quirky, real women who come in all shapes and sizes.
So, sit back, banish the real world and get lost in some over the top romance with a heaping helping of hot. xoxoxo

Well, that was horrible.
Hero stalks her: follows her home and sits outside her house, goes through her mail - and I'm supposed to think this is charming.
I think of my fingers digging into the soft flesh of her ass as I pound into her from behind, leaving bruises there so she knows she's been claimed.
Ugh.
Then they have their first kiss, and it immediately goes from having their first kiss to him demanding that she let him go down on her.
"God." Her voice shakes as my tongue dances lightly on the wet spot.
"Not God, Rose. No one but me will ever be here, not even the omnipotent. No other man will ever touch you as long as I'm drawing breath."
Okay, creeper.
He makes her beg him for oral sex. I really don't get this. I really don't. I don't get humiliating women. If you don't want to go down on her, don't fucking go down on her. If you do want to go down on her, then just fucking do it. Don't make her beg for it. It's rude.
She nods...
"Not enough. Tell me you want my mouth on your cunt, Rose."
Fuck off.
Virginity fetishizing.
Goddamn, she's not just tight, she's pure. I feel the resistance there and the thought that no man has been here before only solidifies my sense of ownership over my sweet Rose.
He thinks he can 'claim' any part of her body he wants.
The next time I cum it will be inside this sweet pussy. Nowhere else will do. Eventually in her mouth and God, yes, in her ass as well. But my cum needs to find its home in her cunt the next time.
None of this is your decision, bro. YOU don't get to choose where to fuck her. YOU don't get to make these kinds of decisions. Maybe she doesn't like giving blowjobs. Maybe she would rather not be fucked up the ass. Did you even think of this? No, because you don't care. She's just something you own, like a car. To be used however you like and however gives you pleasure. Her wants and needs and wishes be damned.
"You need to taste yourself. I want to share." My lips come to hers as my tongue leads the way, her flavor spreading into her mouth as I kiss her deep and she moans softly with me.
Again, maybe she would rather not? Does she have any choice here? Do you know what 'asking permission' is? I hate this bossy guy and his 'She'll do whatever I tell her to' attitude.
36%: There will be a tracker on her phone and her car.
She will be on a schedule to text and call me whenever she is on the move. I want to know when she eats. How many hours she sleeps.
This is so creepy. o.O Not sexy at all. Call-the-police behavior.
I'll nail her feet to the floor if need be, she's not getting away ever again.
Creepy.
I want to throw her down, a hand in her hair and the other on her dress, removing it and watching her eyes as my dick finally sinks into my new home.
Ew. She's not your new home, hombre.
"You know what I need, Rose, don't you?"
That's our whole problem: it's what YOU need, all the time. What about her needs? Her desires?
Unprotected sex for no reason.
Shoving his cum inside her and trying to seal it in there; telling her she's going to get pregnant by him rather than, I DON'T KNOW, asking her if she wants children and if she'd like to think about starting a family. Fuck her opinions about what happens to her life and her body, am I right? She's property now.
"What are you doing?" She asks when my hand comes down flat against her swollen, soaking pussy.
I clasp my fingers hard over her opening. "I want all this inside you, Rose. I want my cum where it belongs. Making me the father of your children. You're stuck with me. Better get used to that."
UGH. DISGUSTING.
Tanner sat me down on his lap and held my hand in his. "I'm going to marry you, Rose. No, it's not a question, it's a statement."
Fuck giving women choices.
"Very soon, this finger will belong to me."
Weird AND gross.
I feel the tip of his cock at my entrance.
"Say please." He growls and my belly flutters.
"PLEASE..." The word comes out in a shuddering whimper because I am truly begging.
Ugh. Now people reading my reviews may think I'm against begging in bed; I'm not. However, ordering people to beg is distasteful to me.
THEN, he REFUSES to give her an orgasm unless she agrees to marry him. Isn't this weird? Gross? Disturbing? Manipulative? All of the above?
"You have to answer one question for me, Rose. One question. Then you can come."
"WHAT?" I snap, a wild anger building up as my body craves the orgasm he's pushing me toward.
"Will you marry me?"
Oh, that's romantic. /s Great. /s
EPILOGUE:
She knows not to argue. I give my girl everything she needs and wants but she also knows her well being is number one and sometimes my word is the last word.
Fucking disgusting.
THE END.
THE GOOD:
- I enjoyed him cutting the panties off of her with his pocketknife.
Tl;dr - Gross. Please know you can do better than this as far as erotica goes.
VERDICT: Skip it and read something else. I don't know what, but not this.

4 FLOWERING ROSE STARS
“I’m going to kiss you, Rose. I didn’t say just your mouth. You said you wanted that, didn’t you?”
I think it's safe to say that this book is smoking HOT!
The heroine, who is aptly named Rose Everart, is described by the hero Tanner as being
"Her skin is the perfect shade of pink. I imagine her blonde tresses that usually hang down in waves to brush the swell of her amazing tits..."
More importantly, she owns a flower shop.
The hero, who is also aptly named Tanner Valentine, is described by the heroine Rose as being
"....the hunky lumber-rose-grower that’s been the source of too many of my fantasies the last few months."
Therefore, these two make perfect sense and the perfect couple.
He grows what she sells.
A match made in heaven, it's really just that simple right?
Unfortunately, it's not all hearts and flowers. These two need to overcome some serious social anxiety disorder in order to get together.
The hero is mostly a grunter and he has been celibate for 6 years.
The heroine is a shut in after what has happened to her mother and grandmother. She is shy and scared to care again.
Will she finally take a chance and finally allow the hero a way to her heart?
I enjoyed this book but I thought it could use a little more story. It was too short even for a novella.
I loved the epilogue 5 years later and it was nice to see her father getting the help he needs but...
Just something felt like it was missing.
Can't put my finger on it, but something was for me.
Safety is perfect without any issues heroine is a virgin and hero has been celibate for 6 years, no OW/OM, no cheating, no condoms. But the hero has always used them in the past.

My first read from Dani Wyatt and I enjoyed it. It took me a while to try her book because some are not safe for me. I'm glad this one is a safe one.
The story is about Tanner and Rose.
Rose owns Ever in Bloom Floral Shop. Tanner, like the blurbs says, grows rare beautiful roses and drops them to her shop every thirteen days.
There's an instant attraction but she has her fears and there's one thing that was keeping him from claiming her: the ring on her finger. A ring given to her by her grandmother before she died.
It's a short story and has an epilogue with marriage and babies.

3.5*
I really enjoyed this book I loved both Tanner and Rose.
Now this is an OTT romance, Tanner fell in love with Rose the second he saw her and even though they've only shared a handful of words and she disappears into the back of her shop the first chance she gets he's completely gone over her and he's determined things are going to change and they're going to change today.
I thought this was sweet, cute and adorable I know some readers didn't like the fact that he stalks her and I agree in a different book I would have been all over that but here it just fit. Crazy, maybe but we know it's a short sexy OTT romance and I can honestly say I found it funny.
Here's an example:
'I’m not proud, but I’m not ashamed either. I followed her home that first night after I walked into her shop with a few sample blooms. I watched her go inside her little bungalow on Market Street. I sat there all f**king night, watching for signs of a husband. I had to know. That was the first night. I did that for the next four f**king nights. Nothing. No sign of anyone else coming or going. It’s been a struggle but I only allow myself two nights a week to follow her home now. Again, two nights a week seemed okay. Any more was excessive. And, okay, I get the creepy factor here is high but I don’t give a shit, I went through her damn mail too. More than once. Less than twenty times. Again, I counted. I stopped at nineteen times because, well, just because. Nothing addressed to anyone else besides Rose Everhart. So since I’m no tech wiz, I enlisted Norman. F**king hell he gave me grief, but he also did a full public records search on my girl. No record of a marriage license anywhere.'
So it's Valentine's Day his name is Valentine and her name is Rose we know how this is going to end but before they get their HEA they have a few hurdles to jump but he's determined.
While I loved this I was disappointed when it ended at 58%, I knew going in it was a short read but I wanted to know why he hadn't touched a woman in six years, was it lack of attraction, bad breakup, was it someone in town or elsewhere?
Also Rose had she always had the same issues?
February 26, 2017
Hot, cute, and sweet.
What worked for me: The hero—Tanner Valentine. It’s hard to say no to this hot rose-growing mountain man. A possessive, obsessive, and protective alpha hero? Yes, please!
What didn’t work for me: The heroine—Rose Everhart. She’s an annoying woman. I got so frustrated when she didn’t even bother to send Tanner a text to cancel their date. What was wrong with her? Her irresponsible behavior was a big no for me.
I would have given this book 4 stars if the heroine hadn't been Rose. Sorry, but I'm not a fan of weak, timid, and irritating female leads. Nonetheless, as a short story, this one had an actual plot and enough story. The sex was great and the ending was wonderful.
By the way, I enjoyed this novella for the most part. Another one of my OK reads.

Valentine's Rose
Dani Wyatt
⭐️
Safe. You want a non-complicated story. Here ya go. I finished the book, tho it didn't send some sparks flying for me. Perfect for consuming time when waiting for someone at the aiport lol.
A man and a woman interacts for the first time in three months and at the end of the night they are already bumping uglies and doing tonsil hockey. I mean C'mon. Rose and Tanner are sweet but it didn't satisfy me.

Sometimes I like to break away from reading lengthy novels and get some instant gratification from a short, fast paced story. I don't want to have to think too hard or wait too long to get what I need.
Valentine's Rose gave me just what I needed :) Tanner Valentine is a very successful rose grower/supplier, not just any roses though - old fashioned vintage roses that people pay a lot of money for.
Rose Everhart is the local town florist and her business is not in a position to buy Tanner's roses but he likes to drop her in samples anyway. The main reason though is because he is completely enamoured by Rose and needs to know if she has noticed him.
It may be Valentines Day but ironically Tanner has never had a valentine to buy for and Rose has never had anyone buy her flowers. This year will be different. Tanner is determined to make it a night to remember and reveal his true feelings to the woman he wants to make his valentine now and forever.

I don't know if this is supposed to make me swoon or piss me off??
Does he wants to know when she's using the restroom too??
"Thoughts of how things will be from now on with her stream through my mind. There will be a tracker on her phone and her car. She will be on a schedule to text and call me whenever she is on the move. I want to know when she eats. How many hours she sleeps."

Sweet and hot with that stalker, OTT alpha hero I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
February 13, 2025
This novella is a quick Valentine read. It’s one of my go to Valentine rereads.
The story is told in dual pov
🌹Rose Everhart (h)🌹- 23
Rose owns a flower shop called Ever in Bloom that she inherited from her mother. The irony is that Rose owns a flower shop, but has never received flowers from anyone. I thought Rose’s cats name was funny. Rose named her cat Creamy Alfredo Sauce.
🌹Tanner Valentine(H)🌹- no age was given for him.
Tanner is a horticulturist that grows the rarest roses in the mountains of Washington. He’s had a love of growing roses since he was little because his mother grew roses and his father was a botanist. Tanner has been pining away for Rose since he met her 3 months ago.
The only reason Tanner hasn’t asked Rose out is because he saw a ring on her ring finger. He didn’t know if she was married or not. Basically, he was acting stalkerish by following her home to see if a guy showed up at her house. He even said that he went through her mail to see if she was married.
I don’t take some of the stuff in these types of stories to seriously. The H is usually OTT in these types of stories and Tanner could be OTT. He even said he was going to put a tracker on her car to make sure he knows that she is safe. I found some of Tanner’s internal dialogue funny.
“And, okay, I get the creepy factor here is high but I don’t give a sh*t, I went through her damn mail too. More than once.
Less than twenty times.
Again, I counted. I stopped at nineteen times because, well, just because.”
I guess at least he can admit that he is being a creeper.
Every thirteen days, Tanner brings Rose samples of his beautiful rare roses.
Every time he comes into Rose’s flower shop, she runs to the back of the store and has her assistant talk to him.
This Valentine’s Day, Tanner is determined to get to the bottom of the ring situation and make his feelings for her known. He is ready to get the girl of his dreams.
“She giggles and I’ve just realized how in love I am with this girl. Not lust. Not maybe-I’ll-fall-in-love-with-her. But done. Check that box. I’m in love.”
Later, Tanner plans to take Rose out on a Valentine’s date (he has never been on a date on Valentine’s Day).Rose has issues with eating out and gets panic attacks if she goes to a restaurant. She only likes to eat food that she has prepared herself. She has to watch other people preparing the food in order to eat it. I have seen some of those segments on t.v. with hidden cameras in restaurants, so sometimes it’s better not to know. I get ocd watching people cook.
Rose is a virgin. She only went on one date before when she was 21 and it was on Valentine’s Day. It was her first and last date. The guy brought his mother on the date. Tanner has been celibate for 6 years. I like that he wasn’t a manwhore.
It’s been a good six years since I touched a woman and until I can touch my Rose, it’s just me and my shower gel until they put me in the ground.”
He has never gone down on a woman before. Tanner said he never had unprotected sex before either. He has never been a player. He said he has never gone down on a woman before.
I’ve never tasted a woman before and right now I couldn’t be happier. I wouldn’t want to ruin this with the memory of anyone that came before. I saved this just for her. For us.
There ends up being a little bit of drama with Rose’s father. Also, Rose’s assistant Kandi tries to flirt with Tanner a little, but he isn’t interested.
Tanner and Rose are able to have a wonderful Valentine’s night together. He gives Rose a beautiful Valentine surprise.
There is an epilogue that I liked. I like a nice epilogue. The couple does get their HEA. The epilogue is 5 years later. Rose is having their 3rd child. It’s a boy that they name Roy, in honor of Rose’s father. Rose’s father went to rehab twice and has been sober for 2 years.
The book ends at 59% and there are several previews for other books of the authors.
❤Happy Valentine’s Day!❤
Safety Info:

🌹Tanner- celibate for 6 years, He’s never been a player. He has never gone down on a woman before. He is the only one to go down on her too. No mention if women have gone down on him before.
Grumpy mountain man type hero
🌹OTT obsessive/protective/a little stalkerish. He wants to put a tracker on her car to make sure she is safe.
🌹They’ve known each other for 3 months.

🌹No condoms- Tanner always used protection before.
🌹HEA- yes
🌹Epilogue- They are married and she is having their 3rd child, a boy they named Roy after her father. They have three kids Henry, Olivia, and Roy. Rose’s father went to rehab twice and has been sober for 2 years. They invite everyone in the room to see the new baby. She is topless with the baby on her chest and Tanner says she isn’t shy. I would think he wouldn’t want his male employee seeing her boobs.

Every time he comes into Rose’s flower shop, she runs to the back of the store and has her assistant talk to him.
This Valentine’s Day, Tanner is determined to get to the bottom of the ring situation and make his feelings for her known. He is ready to get the girl of his dreams.
“She giggles and I’ve just realized how in love I am with this girl. Not lust. Not maybe-I’ll-fall-in-love-with-her. But done. Check that box. I’m in love.”
Later, Tanner plans to take Rose out on a Valentine’s date (he has never been on a date on Valentine’s Day).Rose has issues with eating out and gets panic attacks if she goes to a restaurant. She only likes to eat food that she has prepared herself. She has to watch other people preparing the food in order to eat it. I have seen some of those segments on t.v. with hidden cameras in restaurants, so sometimes it’s better not to know. I get ocd watching people cook.
Rose is a virgin. She only went on one date before when she was 21 and it was on Valentine’s Day. It was her first and last date. The guy brought his mother on the date. Tanner has been celibate for 6 years. I like that he wasn’t a manwhore.
It’s been a good six years since I touched a woman and until I can touch my Rose, it’s just me and my shower gel until they put me in the ground.”
He has never gone down on a woman before. Tanner said he never had unprotected sex before either. He has never been a player. He said he has never gone down on a woman before.
I’ve never tasted a woman before and right now I couldn’t be happier. I wouldn’t want to ruin this with the memory of anyone that came before. I saved this just for her. For us.
There ends up being a little bit of drama with Rose’s father. Also, Rose’s assistant Kandi tries to flirt with Tanner a little, but he isn’t interested.
Tanner and Rose are able to have a wonderful Valentine’s night together. He gives Rose a beautiful Valentine surprise.
There is an epilogue that I liked. I like a nice epilogue. The couple does get their HEA. The epilogue is 5 years later. Rose is having their 3rd child. It’s a boy that they name Roy, in honor of Rose’s father. Rose’s father went to rehab twice and has been sober for 2 years.
The book ends at 59% and there are several previews for other books of the authors.
❤Happy Valentine’s Day!❤

I picked this up to read for VD. Hey! I meant Valentine's Day. What did you think??
This started off really intense. First is Tanner Valentine's POV. He's so obsessed with Rose. Tanner has a massive greenhouse up in the mountains where he grows exotic roses. All types of roses. Rose Everhart has a flower shop in town, which of course sells roses too. At first I thought that Tanner seemed a little creepy. His internal thoughts were all about how he was going to get Rose- to make her his. Uh oh.
Then I read Rose's POV. She's attracted to Tanner too. Rose is shy and hasn't let on that she's attracted to Tanner. He's a big-bearded mountain man with a gruff exterior. Size matters.
I really enjoyed the OTT insta-attraction between these two. They barely said two words to each other when this book picks up their story. Then Tanner makes his move...
There's a little side-story with Rose dealing with her drunk/homeless dad. Her dad frequently comes around to get money out of Rose.
Tanner really demonstrates his devotion to Rose. He says it over and over but he really comes through for her.
This story stopped at 60%, so I'm not sure of the page count. There's even an epilogue!
The rest of the book (short novella) is excerpts of the author's other books.
I enjoyed myself and laughed a lot. The sex scenes were fairly hot. (There was time for a couple of steamy scenes!) This is Kindle Unlimited.
3.50 stars.

Sweet and light steamyish.
Tanner has had a hard crush/lust on Rose the woman who owns a flower shop and he has been trying to talk to her for the past 3 months but she's very shy and always runs away. But thats one tiny problem the other is she wears a ring on her wedding finger, that makes me want to commit murder. As for Rose she also has a crush on Tanner but her anxiety is kicking her ass and she has other problems she has to deal with also a annoying bitchy co-worker.
Now Tanner doesn't let that slow him down he finds out answers and knows his Rose isn't married, so he works up the nerve to ask her out. But some misunderstandings happen and other drama happens.
No ow/om drama, no cheating, tiny drama, sexy times, & virgin no manwhore and celebite guy

Short, Sweet and to the point.

This book was sweeter than all the chocolates I've ever eaten in my entire life.
Tanner Valentine has been in LOVE with Rose Everhart since the day he saw her. He wants to make her his but in his way is the damn ring she constantly wears on her ring finger. But Tanner still has hope. One day Rose will be his and there will be nothing stopping him.
Rose is in love with the brutish man that comes to her flower shop every 13 days. She is scared to death to even look at him. What she doesn't realise is that her dead grandmother's ring that she wear on her finger is the only thing that is holding back Tanner. What'll happen when Tanner learns the truth? Will their love flourish or is there something else that might prove to be a hindrance in their epic love?
Dani Wyatt is a genius y'all. Only she can make you fall in love with characters in less than a 100 pages. I loved this instalove filled with soul searing emotions. It was quick, sweet as candy, hot as sin and just overall make your heart happy kinda story. ~Sonal

Quick, insta-love, uber-possessive hero story. Hero decides after three months of getting nowhere with the heroine that he's finally going to make a change and claim her for his own. Story ends around the 60% mark on the Kindle.
His last name is Valentine but he's never had a Valentine until the heroine. Her name is Rose and she owns a florist shop but has never been given flowers by anyone until the hero.

*I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book*
Do you like hot alpha who knows what he wants? or instant love? well, this is the book for you. Dani Wyatt has a way of giving some perfect alphas that we can't resist.
Tanner Valentine learned to grow roses but not just any roses some hybrid ones as well, he does well know his way around roses only he can't seem to talk to Rose Everhart. Rose Everhart has her own business a flower shop, it seems like everytime Tanner arrives she suddenly scared and hides only this time around Tanner isn't going to let her hide. Rose is a shy person and Tanner is all man but a man of a few words but when these two are together they suddenly talk all they want. Rose has issues but still try to go out and try she is also sweet on her dad even though he only calls when he needs the money she is just that kind of sweet person. When Tanner thinks she will back down he is there to rescue her from going back to hiding. I loved this story it is sweet and quick but you still get the factor of it being long.

Super sweet and romantic book. Hero was a stalker and obsessed with the heroine. In real life I would call him crazy but in fiction it works. Epilogue was perfection. Pregnancy, babies and true love!

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Whew. Tanner is one intense dude. From the very beginning of the book with just the way he thought about Rose, I knew he would be the Alpha male personified.
Tanner has been going into Rose's shop for weeks. He brings her the unique roses he grows even though she never once says anything to him and runs into her office. Finally, on Valentine's Day, he goes to her shop and is not leaving without claiming her as his own. And boy, does he claim her. Rose is hesitant at first, but she see through his mountain man exterior, sees that he is about as genuine as they come and realizes that she wants him just as much as he wants her.
This is another short and sweet book that will definitely put you in the Valentine's Day mood. It brings plenty of heat and it will make you want your own rose growing, mountain man to sweep you off your feet.

Read Chantal's review for further reference. All I'll say is nothing happened (but still I really liked it).
Read
February 13, 2017Another super sweet, romantic and sexy novella based on the upcoming romantic holiday for lovers –Valentine’s Day.
Tanner and Rose make a great couple in this story. For several months, Tanner has been trying to get Rose to talk to him. He has been taking her tokens of his affections to town, where Rose lives, to give to Rose, for her to either sell or for her to keep, in hopes she would finally talk to him, to see him. The only time she talked to him was his first day in her shop, since then, she seemingly avoids him. But alpha Tanner isn’t giving up for he plans on making sweet and innocent Rose his, no matter what he has to do.
Rose owns a Florist shop and he so often Tanner comes in with a bouquet of roses, that she can't afford to have in her shop- for these aren’t general roses but special kind that he grows on his property. She doesn’t know what to make of him or how to handle him. Plus her assistant hits on him and she doesn’t think she has a chance with him. There are twists and turns, drama and angst which is wrapped up with a pretty bow and LOTS of sexual flavor in this story. The epilogue definitely makes this one of my favorite reads of the V-Day season. If you love an insta-love and insta-chemistry story that ends with HEA, then you don’t want to pass this novella up by Dani Wyatt.
My rating: 4.5 stars ****

Short and hot
Insta love, shy girl, possessive, a bit stalkerish hero, all love and roses. And Dani's great writing!
As I re-read this I don't know if I appreciated the first time how perfectly Rose's eating anxiety is pictured: how one can be moked because of it, how one can suffer because of it and how absolutely extraordinary it is to have the hero make no big deal about it and adjust and not try to fix or change the heroine regarding it. I'm just writing this review, enphasising this theme to add that yes, this is possible in real life, too. I loved how Dani wrote it - mentioning it, giving it space but not making it the biggest thing. As always, the greatest is the love story! Which I loved - so many roses ❤️

another cute book about a hot and possessive hero and a sweet heroine♡
February 25, 2017
This would have been better, but the couple "jumped" into things, the minute they started actually talking.
The hero grows roses, the heroine sells flowers. Every 13 days he drops off samples of his roses. The hero has been stalking the heroine. He has been keeping an eye on her the minute he first saw her. On Valentine's Day, he decides he is going to ask her out. From there everything moves fast and I lost my connection.
I loved the premise and the way the story started, but then it lost me.

Splendid roses, a mountain man in caveman love, and a beard that's a thing of legends. All that and much more is inside this short but exquisitely smutty romance by an author that knows how to combine sweet and dirty with the nicest words ever.
Tanner is a gruff man who talks less than he shaves his wild beard, but he melts for the shy, curvy, soft lady who runs a flower shop in town. I loved his over-the-top gestures with the most perfect roses and his declarations of possessive love. That's not to say I didn't enjoy his erotic talk and scandalously forward ownership of his beloved's body.
It's a very pretty story with a pinch of drama, an epilogue full of babies and a promise of goofy smiles on your face at the end.

Why are women always described as buck ass ugly/fake or gorgeous. What about the average people of the world!?
“Where you from?” Blond sofa girl leans forward, her silicone-enhanced rack nearly spilling out of her black tank top, a smile playing on her lips.
Sally. Her name finally registers. She’s peroxide blond, with two inches of black roots. In heels she’s nearly as tall as a Shetland pony, and she wears enough makeup for three drag queens ready to take the stage. I’m polite, but distant. This was not the night I had in mind.
She gives me a flirtatious shimmy of her shoulders, the jewels on her top glinting under the artificial light.
Sigh. It was alright, classically hot/alpha etc. The authors virginity mo with her heroines becomes so boring though. They are all the same.
