"You have got to read this book...
Open Season by Linda Howard.
I have never laughed so much in my whole life!
This is the best book and I got it at the
Davis Homes Library."
Review by library patron, Mildred L.
I just read "A Highlander's Stolen Bride"
by Melanie George.
It's about a half English and half Scottish
lord, who's stong, sexy, and handsome...and
every woman's dream. A must read for every
woman, so you know your dreams can come true.
Review by library patron, Donna C.
