• Playing with Fire: A Bad Boy College Romance  by L.J. Shen <— SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT & TASHA LOVED IT!!

Tasha J: So, I have literally 19% left of Playing With Fire. The book I started yesterday about this time. Yep, I’ve been all consumed. It’s so well written and I loooove it!!

I’ve so been missing the new adult/college underground fighter trope, but even better, the characters feel more unique to me. I’m not annoyed at all, lol. That’s harsh, but after reading so many of these books, it’s usually about the same formula every time.

I’m not even skimming the smexy scenes, not at all. 😳 I went to bed at 7 last night, stayed up till 2. This is becoming a habit.
