Real Put Off



Kit recommended Eloisa James's books a while ago, but I didn't think they were quite my thing.
I’ve never read her work and I was unsure if she’d be any good.
When I received the book, my hubby looked at the cover and said “Sejak bila u jadi lesbian?”.. That cover is a real put off ;-)
Then I started reading few pages and I absolutely adored it.
Looking forward to the series :-*
