Customer Reviews

Mountain or mole hill?

I was hoping for more character/story development between Ben and Cody. Similar feelings to her encounter with Bradford, it brought you to an ultimate climactic mountain top, only to be left with a mole hill. How she writes the book is an easy read though so there’s that.
