Why read it?
1 author picked Simmer Down as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Simmer Down is my favorite novel by my friend and co-author/podcaster, Sarah Smith. Smith is a master of the hate-to-love beach read. Her books are spicy, sizzling, and fun.
Simmer Down is my favorite because of English hottie Callum, the love interest.

From Skye's list on making you laugh, cry, and swoon.
