Yeahhh, what kind of name is Cade? It was entertaining.. Got kind of ridiculous at the end. *Spoiler alert*Exploding tankers and a stalker taken care of with a car crash? Nah.I think I'm done with the so-called romance genre, even though it was in the fiction section. It's just embarrassing to re...
I checked this book out of the library and was fooled by the fact it wasn't labeled as a romance novel (which I avoid at all costs).
