REVIEW: The Charmer in Chaps

THE CHARMER IN CHAPS is meet-cute scrumptiousness, exactly how I love my romantic reading. Lots of flirting and charm overload that made me laugh. I needed this couple’s happy-ever-after as much as they did! Luca Prince is clueless sometimes on how to woo a woman. He slid by on his stunning good looks, a radiant…
