Sometimes I read a book and, while it may not be perfect, I know right away that I’m going to like the author’s voice. Goddess of the Hunt is such a book. Even though it opens with one of my least favorite scenes – the innocent determined to “practice” seducing with little thought of the…
One Reckless Summer is the first in a series set in Destiny, a fictional small town in Ohio. It’s a lovely combination of sexy, fun, and heartbreak, and I look forward to checking out more books by this author. Jenny Tolliver has always been a good girl.
