Two Romances, Two Different Responses

The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

September 3, 2020 by Jen K 1 Comment

The Worst Best Man (4 stars) 3 years ago, Lina’s fiance Andrew broke up with her the morning of their wedding – via a text to his brother, Max. After a drunken night, Max woke up to a text that whatever he had said had made Andrew realize it wasn’t right. Unfortunately Max can’t remember the night before, but he bites the bullet and breaks the news. By association (not to mention his mysterious advice), Max ranks right up there with Andrew on the asshole brother […]

The next items? • Enjoy a drunken night out.  • Ride a motorcycle. • Go camping. • Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex. • Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage. • And… do something […]
