by Toni Blake, Michael Benthack
There were things I liked and things I didn't. Nope: Nick- depending on your viewpoint he could be a little creepy or a lot creepy. See, he would repeatedly enter Lauren's house and read her diary (full of sexual fantasies). He (of course) would feel guilty, but that never stopped him. Yep: Lau...
Full review at Tempting ReadsHaving finished it, I can see why the publishers would market The Red Diary for fans of "The Numbered Book That Shall Not Be Named".

She is far from the wild and sensual type. In fact, she is pretty bo...
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, having never read anything from this author. The story line was good, but it wasn't quite enough. It felt like something was missing. I really liked Nick, and felt like I knew him but Lauren was just so-so. The relationship they had, was just about sex no...
