Man, Tessa has done it again!! Not that I ever had any doubt whether I’d love this book, as I’ve loved everything of hers (there’s only one I haven’t read yet). Tessa’s signature wit, charm, and masterful character development is laced through every page. From the prologue, I was hooked! Then that early twist that …
Book Review: Daughter of Rome by Tessa Afshar
Tessa will always be one of my favorite authors because of the way she brings her characters so vividly and intimately to life, weaves in such thought-provoking themes, and does it all with the perfect dose of humor and wit!
