Honestly, while this was … Continue reading Goodnight from London by Jennifer Robson
Stormy Persuasion by Johanna Lindsey is $1.99 at Amazon! There’s no price-matching and I don’t think this is a Kindle Daily Deal. Readers loved the opposites attract element of this historical romance, while others found the plot to be a little all over the place.
