Review: Together for Christmas by Lisa Plumley
Together For Christmas by Lisa Plumley Released: October 2, 2012 Contemporary Romance Zebra Reviewed by May Kismet: a place that promised candlelit ice-skating sessions, and official Christmas parade, a fanciful holiday-light house tour, sleigh rides with genuine jingle bells, a Santa Claus-lookalike contest (in the town square, right next to the community’s fifty-foot decorated Noble fir tree), and a weekly cookie-decorating get together and jamboree. It was all so flipping wholesome Continue Reading
Review: My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron
