Not Guilty of Books

  WINTER ENDS Season of Change - Book Three by Joelle Lynne Release Date: December 7, 2024 Review Enemies to Lovers written so well that I struggled through the beginning. Shawn was so obnoxious I wanted to punch him as much as Daniel. You need to read past that, because as expected, there is more to the story, and more to them. The story really delves into self-worth, past trauma, and healing. And, of course, love. With a side of snowed-in cabin for the season! A lot of heart went into this story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Just because we're stuck here doesn't mean I have to like you... Daniel They say you can’t run from your past. Whoever ‘ they ’ are were right; the change of scenery did nothing to chase away my demons. Just because your daddy owns the first place that hired me doesn’t make you impressive—even if you think it does. Your spoiled, smug personality could use some adjusting. Unfortunately, not a deal-breaker, since I find you so damn attractiv...
