Queen Move by Kennedy Ryan

April 11, 2021 Leave a Comment

This is my second Kennedy Ryan book and when it comes to her books you have to be ready to settle in because Ryan’s stories have a lot of depth; she intimately explores her character’s past and present before getting to the main course. Ezra and Kimba were inseparable as teens, but a rift betweenRead the Post
