Hell yes. But on the morning of the hunt, nothing’s going according to plan. Miles and Drix are at odds over Miles’s reluctance to move in together.

Hi, I definitely think something is wrong with the poll today. It is stating y vote has been registered… but… the 3 books I voted for are still registering 0%. Also only 1 vote is showing so I assume that belongs to someone else. Help please.
Sorry, just saw this. I went in and voted for the three books that had no votes as of yet to make sure it was working and it appears to be working fine now. Sorry it didn’t work for you earlier. I’m not sure why that would have happened.
No problem, I’ll vote next week.
I’ve loved all of the Seasons of Love novels, but Winter Heart is the best: deeply spiritual, a true reflection of how we often remain in toxic relationships, and how we can grow out of them, how many kinds of love there are, and how healing is within our reach if we are open to change. I loved this novel. Well, I love all of B G’s work — there is an underlying kindness that makes my heart turn over.
So many great books!
