Yet another book to save for when you’re not hungry

The Professor Next Door by Jackie Lau

August 8, 2021 by Malin 1 Comment

CBR13 Bingo: Pandemic This book was granted to me as an ARC from the author in return for an honest review. I had already pre-ordered the book, as Jackie Lau is now an auto-buy for me. While this is technically the third entry in the Cider Bar Sisters series, each of the books in the series works perfectly well as a stand-alone. The first book in the series, Her Big City Neighbor is currently available free, however (as of me writing this), so if you’re […]

Her Pretend Christmas Date by Jackie Lau

December 28, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment
