““There will always be those books that carry our happy endings on love’s wings. Then an author comes along who has had the nerve to pluck a few feathers… It’s an unorthodox way to handle popular reads. However, the feathers make awesome quills to write the heated scenes under a completely new outlook. One that takes a daring voyage of action, adventure, lustful desires, and the struggles to not only live but survive to a entirely new level.””
