REVIEW: The Magic Of Christmas by Davidson, Bylin and St.John

October 6, 2008

Book Cover Wendy the Super Librarian's review of The Magic of Christmas by Carolyn Davidson, Victoria Bylin & Cheryl St.John
Historical romance anthology released by Harlequin Historical 1 Oct 08

Oh, like a groom who wasn't expecting her, or a groom who has the nerve to die before her stagecoach/train arrive. What's a poor girl to do? Well find herself a more fetching man, of course! Preferably one who is still breathing ;-)
