Smashwords book reviews by Cara Marsi

  • Dreaming Josie on July 29, 2012

    Dreaming Josie is such an incredible read. I loved it and was sorry to see it end. Loved learning about the Civil War re-en-actors. But the best part was the love between Josie and Kyle that came through time. Such a romantic story.
