Reviews
"What Went Wrong" by Kgcummings is the 4th book in a Historical Romance Series. She has continued with the dramatic suspense, great emotion and story quality. She uses a lot of imagery and illustrates scenes in great detail when she writes. She is a dynamic novelist that writes with the essence of heart and soul. I have read all four of the books written so far and each one was a delight to read! I highly recommend to any adult that likes to read suspenseful historical romance. Kudos once again on another successful accomplishment! Each book was unique in its story and I will keep coming back for any future books she may write.<br />Christina R Jussaume Author/Poetess
