When slow is too slow?

I like slow-burn romances with building tension between the characters. I like it when the situation doesn’t draw to an immediate conclusion, and insta-love is definitely not my thing.

Your step-daughter first boyfriend.

I’m packing my ARC promo packages today. A thank you card with few book aesthetics and illustrations on the bookmarks and fridge magnets.

To me to you and a bit of paranoia

Last week wasn’t kind to us. First, I caught tonsillitis then Mark started coughing, and we passed the infections to each other, leaving us both feeling incredibly miserable.
