Harlequin is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a number of free e-books. I’m no Harlequin reader, so I wasn’t sure whether I can blog about this and recommend it with a clear conscience. I downloaded one of the books and am reading it right now. It is quite an enjoyable read. It belongs to the [...]
