Viking Romance - Book Review

Viking Romance - Book Review

We are back to bring you a dark romance recommendation that we both LOVE and enjoy, even when it gave us TONS of anxiety. Lol  

Monica James is a ONE-CLICK author for the both of us. We HIGHLY recommend her books, but because they are dark, DO CHECK the trigger warnings before picking any of them up. She recently released IN LOVE AND WAR Duet, and it was something new for the both us. It's a Viking romance, historical, love triangle, age gap. It's filled with twists and turns that will have you at the edge of your seat.  

If you love a STRONG heroine and a hero who would do anything for her, PICK UP THIS DUET!!!
