ARC Review: Look Before You Leap by Virginia Heath

Look Before You Leap is book 2 in Virginia Heath’s regency romance series, Miss Prentice’s Protégées.

For five books we’ve seen Damien, the Duke of Haynesdale, and infamous courtesan Esmeralda Ballantyne antagonize each other as they each fought their attraction to the other, andContinueContinue reading “ARC Review: The Duke’s Desire by Claire Delacroix”
