Review: Melting into You by Tracey Alvarez
Melting Into You by Tracey Alvarez (Due South #2) Contemporary Romance Released: June 8, 2014 Icon Publishing Reviewed by Mandi Similar to book one, In too Deep, this one is cute but at times slow. Maybe even a bit slower than the first book. I think this author has a nice voice, and her books are easy to read with likable characters, but not a lot happens.

Both orphans, they beg, stole and survived on the streets as children. As adults, their life took separate courses. Jack Continue Reading
