Book Review: The Rest of the Story by Tal Bauer
This author’s books might have romance at their core, but he never fails to suck me into the overall story that is always so much greater than the spark between two characters.

The action starts … Continue reading Book Review: Secret Service by Tal Bauer

The characters, story, and situation were more exciting than I could have imagined, and it all packed an amazing emotional punch at the end. It’s one of those harder to categorize books: not quite a … Continue reading Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer
