INCREDIBLE READ!

Set in 1600s London the book explores a world in which beauty is women’s only currency. Explored through the perspectives of 3 characters that are hard not to fall in love with. This books gives the perfect mix of history, romcom and women empowerment. thoroughly enjoyed!!

A new Star

PR&B were new to me never heard of them before I stumbled upon their website. It looked very professional, nice.
So I thought I'd like to support a local(ish) store and ordered 2 LPs.
Very reasonable prices and ultra fast delivery.
There is nothing more you could ask for.

Thanks Kate.
