Oh goodness!! I am in LOVE with this challenge! We all know how much I like men-talking about them, looking at them, reading about them… In all seriousness…this has been a great and fun challenge!

Stefanie:

Rating: 4 books
                                                                 
Krystal:

“Tiger’s Quest” by Colleen Houck

This review, like the one I did for Tiger’s Curse, is longer than usual, but that’s because I couldn’t stop talking about them!
