Untamed Chapter 25
At least we now have a time line for this book. As Zoey mentioned the upcoming ritual, I have to figure there will be at least two more chapters for day two. The rest will be day three except maybe … Continue reading

Matched Chapter 16
We join Cassia hiking, yet again. Is this the author subtly telling the audience to go do something else? ‘Yeah, I’m sorry you’re reading this. So is my publisher. In fact everyone involved in the production of this book is … Continue reading

Betrayed Chapter 6
The very first paragraph of this chapter is Zoey saying that she’s still mumbling about men and mixed messages. And just because I can never tell if I’ve taken a head injury in between recaps, I looked back. Zoey did … Continue reading

Keeping It Real Chapter 23
