Saturday, December 31, 2011 13:00 13 Comments

REVIEW: His Christmas Acquisition by Cathy Williams

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 1:00 No Comments

LynneC’s review of His Christmas Acquisition by Cathy Williams Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin Presents 29 Nov 11 I have enjoyed Cathy Williams’ books in the past, but, sadly, this one isn’t one of them. Tired situations, tired characters no thicker than a sheet of paper, and a tired style make this a disappointing read.
