Review: Star Crossed by Kele Moon
Star Crossed by Kele Moon (Battered Hearts #2) Erotic Contemporary July 3, 2012 LooseID Reviewed by Mandi Kele Moon is has definitely hit my radar as a solid erotic contemporary author.

While the individual character’s situations were not new, Ms. Kantra did a great job of pulling me into these people’s lives. Matt Fletcher grew up on Dare Continue Reading
