Review Speed Round from Mount TBR

I’ve been eyeing my TBR in preparation of TBR Day which is next Wednesday. On that day, a group of bloggers are going to post reviews of books from their TBR Pile on the same Wednesday of each month. If you’re interested in participating, details can be found here. (There are incentives!)

Grade: B

Pages: 354
Genre: Regency Historical
Sensuality: PG-13

Short and to the point: Typical Avon offering — frothy, fun, and sexy.
