Unlawfully Wedded Bride by Noelle Marchand

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book, clean down to earth, great story line, Great characters. the only thing I didn't like about it is that fact the author did not say what happened to Larson, I was hoping he would stay where he was.

If you have not started yourself a sample dictionary, now's the time to do it, just do the sample, print this sheet out, attached the sample to it, and put them in a 3 ring binder, pretty use, you're have your own crochet dictionary.
