Great review! I'm definitely interested. Please enter me. Thanks!
I can't wait to read this book, hopefully I'll have some luck on your blog.

Gee, I thought I was the only person left who hadn't won this yet. I see I'm in good company. :) I haven't won Jane Porter's books (yet) either. I can't complain because I have won some nice books. This book sounds good so I'm entering again. It ends on my son's birthday so maybe it will be lucky. I'm also adding it to my blog. Thanks and happy holidays!
