Having really enjoyed the previous book in Jenni Fletcher’s Regency Belles of Bath series (Unexpectedly Wed to the Officer) I decided to continue on to book three – The Duke’s Runaway Bride - the story of a marriage-of-convenience that doesn’t quite go according to plan. It gets off to a b ...
I loved Float Plan! This is my first book by Trish Doller and I’m looking forward to reading through her past releases.
