REVIEW: Christmas with Her Boss by Marion Lennox

JayneB+ Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended ReadsAustralia / Christmas Stories / Harlequin / Harlequin Romance7 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Ms. Lennox, My other recommendation for this month is a Christmas book set in cold, snowy London so this is a nice balance set in warm, shirt sleeve weather Australia.
