Review: Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson
Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson (Neighbors From Hell #3) Contemporary Romance Released: October 29, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Oh my God!” a woman whispered loudly. “They’re going to do it on the front lawn!” This past summer I read my first RL Mathewson book, Playing for Keeps.
