Book 892: Spiced Kisses (Kiss Me #3) – Charlie Novak

Book cover of "Spiced Kisses" with Amazon Affiliate linkAfter thoroughly enjoying the first two books in Charlie Novak’s Kiss Me series, I was most definitely going to read any follow ups, but I wasn’t expecting there to be a non-twink model on the cover.
