I love the commentary on these books, especially “The Spanish Love Deception”. I’ve actually have been eyeing it for awhile due to the hype it was receiving from TikTok. Glad I stopped by here first.

Wow! Loved this video and commentary. A book I didn't really enjoy was Bared to You by Sylvia Day. In my opinion it was really just missing something.
