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!

Review: The Prince by Tiffany Reisz
The Prince by Tiffany Reisz (The Original Sinners #3) Erotic Contemporary Releases: November 20, 2012 Harlequin Reviewed by Mandi The Prince is book three of the Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz. A continuing story that revolves around writer and retired dominatrix Nora Sutherland. At the end of The Angel, Nora ran from Søren into the arms of her beloved, virginal Wes.
