That was Pauline’s first thought, when she stumbled in and spied the finely dressed man silhouetted in the door. She watched it happen every few months in this village.

Review: Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost
Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost (Night Prince #2) March 26, 2013 Paranormal Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I forgive you, but only because you said please.” Smartass I thought. Then I groaned at the instant chorus of “Please!” mixed with cries for release from Vlad’s prisoners.
