Book Review: Kissed by Carla Krae

Format: ebookPublished: November 3rd, 2013Age: New AdultGenre: Contemporary RomanceGoodreads Rating: 1/5 Stars Buckle up, kids – this is going to be a rant style review.

Book Casting: Dan Stevens

It has been a long, long time since I did one of these posts, despite the fact I find them generally really fun. But I recently finished (finally) watching Downton Abbey, and despite (please note spoilers for Downton Abbey coming up!) Stevens’ abrupt departure from the show, he honestly was fantastic in it. Through hisContinueContinue reading “Book Casting: Dan Stevens”
