Review: Widow’s Peak by Hanna Rhys Barnes

by Keira 01.08.2010

I had a hard time getting through this novel. Not only is Widow’s Peak very unbelievable, but the writing is not engaging. Both of these problems could have been ignored if the sexual interaction between the main characters was hot. It wasn’t. Here is what I had issues with: Lady Amye de Barnard doesn’t act like [...]
