Exposed

It took me a little while to get into Exposed, but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it. Taking two characters who have obviously had pent-up feelings for each other for a while and who are part of a tight-knit friend group, and throwing them into a ‘casual’ relationship is bound to make for a goo ...

I bought their entire backlist but didn't read anything that could rival, or even compare to, that masterpiece. That is, until I read The Golden Touch, written under the name Robin James. The plot of The Go ...
