Used by Kate Dunbar Narrated by Stella Hunter Romantic Suspense. Standalone. Kate Dunbar’s debut novel, Used, is not my regular type of read.

Closer by Kylie Scott Standalone Novella in the Stage Dive Series Closer by Kylie Scott is a novella spinoff of her popular Stage Dive series, one of my favorite rock star series, but it can be read alone.
