I recently finished Meredith Duran’s April 27 release, Wicked Becomes You. After three stellar novels (The Duke of Shadows, Bound By Your Touch and Written On Your Skin), Duran went on my insta-buy list, and I think that’s often a precarious position to put an author in…because you build your expectations up.
