BENDING TYME RECEIVES 4 OUT OF 5 STARS

FROM NIGHT OWL REVIEWS!

Thank you, Arianne! Arianne writes: “This author has created a short-story, only fifty-eight pages, which are so hot you will need to reach for an ice cube or fan to cool you off. Esme and Logan relationship is like “Gone with the Wind’s” Rhett and Scarlet’s romance. They are two fiery, passionate humans. Great book!”
