"I usually prefer my romances to be a bit more steamy, but I still really like this author. Her practical, innocent way of portraying the heroine is really attractive. The hero is usually a serious, steady gentleman who then falls dramatically in love with the naive heroine. So cute! " — Rena (4 out of 5 stars)
