BOOK 'EM DIVA: DATING BY THE BOOK

*I was happy to receive an advance review copy of the latest Mary Ann Marlowe novel, Dating By the Book, in exchange for an honest review. Enjoy!*

Publisher: Kensington Books
Release Date: June 25, 2019

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

This is particularly  problematic with Dating By The Book, the latest from the award-winning author, as Marlowe infuses the story with mystery, making it a true page-turner. Thus, the end arrives all too soon.

I just didn't want it to end!!!
