well written and performed. Great to have a hot guy that wears glasses.. Most stories they're not hot unless they take them off.

I love these books

I felt let down by the writing to be honest. I’ve been reading Blakey’s books for years and wondered at times if she’d really written this collection. You’re better than this Lauren.

Great readers, wonderful voices.
