Blog Tour: Review: A Different Time

  I'm gonna preface this review with saying that I have a cold dead heart. Really, I do. This means that romance in books ... is pretty hit or miss for me. And usually, shorter books have it more difficult to win me over because ... well, less time to melt the ice around my…

Thank you!
