On the Book Baron’s radar 🙌
List of books that @thebookbaron talks about and recommends on her YouTube channel.
shirtless men
Save a shirtless, bare-chested man! Each one is in dire need of a shirt! 👕 Those covers of romance novels are not very warm, although under the covers, it could be hot. Steaming, in fact. Maybe even scorching. 🥵❤️🔥
(Other editions exist where the book cover has a shirtless man, but this list only includes those shirtless on PB. ) Enjoy! 😉
Emotional Damage, but Make it Literary
For readers who like their fiction tragic, their prose pretty and their emotional recovery indefinite.
