Snow Day by Shannon Stacey, Jennifer Greene, Barbara Dunlop Released: December 1, 2013 Holiday Romance Harlequin Reviewed by May This book has three stories, told by three different authors, but all take place over the same few days during a massive storm in Tucker’s Point, Maine. Overall I wish that the stories had been turned more into a cohesive novel or that the points of view overlapped more smoothly than they do here, but it is still a nice effort. Want to see three couples Continue Reading
