Review - The Boyfriend Subscription by Steven Salvatore
My rating: 
Teddy has hit rock bottom. He moved to New York to be with the man he loved and became the city’s “Plant Daddy.” His vindictive now-ex-husband has taken all that away, including the plant shop he opened, leaving Teddy poor and with no choice to move back to New Orleans to live with his mom. He’s drowning his sorrows at a dive bar with his best friend Kit when a very handsome, clearly well-to-do man enters the bar and shows an obvious interest in Teddy.

Review - Running Ember by Meraki P. Lyhne
My rating:
