• Author Highlight: Jeannie Chin

  I’ll admit as appealing as the covers of small town romances look to me, whenever I try to read them, I always end up stopping at book 2. They just bleed into one another for me and even dramatic plots feel predictable. Historical and regency romance are more bag than the small Midwestern towns where…

  This was a sweet romance coming from one of the most unexpected (and worst) first meetings. Rishi Patal comes up to introduce himself Dimple Shah, joking about starting their lives together as future husband and wife.
