Minestrone soup is one of my favorite soups that my mother-in-law makes, and since moving out of her home and into our own again, I need to figure out what went inside hers so I can make it myself.

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting The Friday 56 every week.
That's a very grabbing title! Happy Friday :)
ReplyDeleteI think she really likes him a lot! Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice romance. I have this one to read too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Great excerpt! I got signed copies of this book and the prequel at BEA last week and met the author. Looking forward to starting them.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the Harlequin series books in a long time though I did just pick a couple up. This one sounds pretty intense plus I've read some really great reviews for other Maisey Yates books. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what that special something was? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very intense read.

I want to be able to scream at someone without that meaning the end! Thanks for hosting :) I hope you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI need to read the free prequel before picking this up.
