Cool Contemporary Romance Title, Unsettling Content
So, that’s a super cool title. I received this contemporary romance as a gift, not for an “honest review” as one so often hears, but because Katie71483 is lovely and knew I was looking for a good LGBT romance. The Sinner’s Gin of the title is a blues-rock band that experiences a horrible tragedy the same night they win a handful of Grammys. Glorying in their success, their limo is t-boned by a large truck and three of the four band members are killed. The […]
