Review: Enthralled Anthology
Enthralled Anthology by Lora Leigh, Alyssa Day, Meljean Brook, Lucy Monroe Paranormal Romance July 2, 2013 Berkley Trade Reviewed by Tori I’ll be honest, when I saw Alyssa Day and Meljean Brook had stories in here, I begged, pleaded, and promised unsavory things to get Enthralled.
