New Release Review! FISH OUT OF WATER by Katie Ruggle

Why date a mountain man? Because he knows how to pitch a tent.

But even with her very own mountain man in tow, things aren’t going to be easy.…

The idea came from my daughter, who showed me a few TikTok videos about the concept when I mentioned that I liked the idea of…
