Review | Once Upon A Winter’s Heart

by | Jan 9, 2014 | 2013, A, eBook, Nada | 6 comments

Hott Synopsis:

Emma returns to the place where she was raised to find a complete mess. Her sister is divorced and chasing another man, her mother has moved out, and her father is happy his house is peaceful. Maybe the last true love died with her Poppi this week.

Emma’s been wondering for a while if this whole love thing would ever get around to her and with another Valentines in the offing she’s sure she’s been skipped yet again.

Then there’s Lane, the man Emma’s sister claims to love, is he really all he’s pretending? If so, why does he keep flirting with the wrong sister?

She’s won a number of awards (including the Rita and Gold Medallion) and some of her books have been optioned for film/TV.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!
