Posted January 6, 2021 by Wendy in Reviews / 1 Comment

Why Did I Read? A strict rule follower ends up rooming with a super attractive stranger who works in the adult entertainment industry. I was drawn into this premise from the beginning!

However, I can safely attest that Ashlords was a whole lot of fun and I greatly enjoyed it!
