My Reading Getaway

 I'm so excited to share with you the beautiful cover for Olivia Spring's new book, When's the Wedding? This highly anticipated sequel to Only When It's Love , will be available on 25March2021. Don't worry if you have not read Only When It's Love  as you have about two months before publication date or if your TBR pile is too big (as mine may be!), it can be read as a standalone book. A little bit about the book -  She’s found the perfect man. Will she get her perfect proposal?
