    Hellooo this week Addy reviews the first book in the Tessa Baliey trilogy, "Hot and Hammered." Listen as Fix Her Up is reviewed and why it can be a bit problematic but overall a good book!

    The Debut

    Welcome to the debut episode of Romantic Reads, where Addy talks about her three favorite first books of a trilogy; Brings Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore, Get a Life, Chole Brown by Talia Hibbert, and The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. Let's be honest upfront--Addy will most likely sidetrack in 100 different directions and talk about her dog Hazelbutt for a majority of the time.  When she goes back to talking about books, there's a good chance she will forget names and other details about the book. Her big bro Casey will stop by randomly to talk about his favorite Tom Clancy novels.  No editing is required!  Anxiety city!
