Review: Kept by Shawntelle Madison
Kept by Shawntelle Madison (Coveted #2) Urban Fantasy November 27, 2012 Ballantine Reviewed by May Kept is book #2 in the Coveted series, and it takes off shortly after the first book ended. Given the content and pacing of Kept, I believe most readers would find themselves rather lost and book 1 should be read first. Nat lives with her friend in a small New Jersey town where she works at an antique shop, and is just newly back in her family after being estranged for years. Nat has Continue Reading

Review: Let it Snow by Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque
Let it Snow by Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque Contemporary Romance (except for the alien prince part) Released: November 13, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by May I wanted to love this book going in - in fact I was expecting to! Unfortunately, whether I look at these stories individually or together, I can’t recommend this book. Neither story captured my fancy, and if it is wonderful Christmas inspired romance you want, you won’t find it here. The key problem I believe, is that the Continue Reading
