Well this was a pleasant surprise! I found this book because Smart Bitches were doing it as their book of the month thing for November, but I didn't get it in from the library until this month so darn.What that means is though, I had a nice slightly Christmas-y romance to read in the lead up to the ...
Review from Queen of Swords Book Reviews. WHY I DNF: * I felt that this novel could have taken place at any time of year.

And I thought about it and thought why not. It will be fun to compare.I am glancing at Rameau's review while ...
