I'm happy to see you're on the more positive side of the fence, since this is one I've been looking forward to. It's always a bummer when the romance feels forced, or like it shouldn't be there. Sometimes a story needs to focus on the main character and not potential love interests. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?</a> Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130637022613050517.post-51432638541444628242018-10-14T12:12:57.057-04:002018-10-14T12:12:57.057-04:00Aww this sounds sad at first but eventually gets b...Aww this sounds sad at first but eventually gets better!
