Swans Book Review

When reading this book, I was having a blast.  Naughty things were happening in one of my most favorite places in the world.   Then all of a sudden, the book makes a complete 180 on me and the amazing book turned to a confusion of emotions. Penny Callahan has made a New Year's resolution of staying away from men.  Her love life is a book filled with heartache and deception and Penny is fed up with it. She hopes her time of staying away from men will make her understand herself better and why she keeps making such bad choices in men. Hosting a single's night at the Library she works at was not Penny's idea on how to avoid men, but it was a way to help a friend.  Penny was determined to stick to her plan, but her plan was shaken when she saw a sexy stranger at the party. Jack Williamson is a reclusive author and wants it to stay that way.  But his mother puts his secret identity in trouble by signing him up to take part in single's night in the one...

New York Times bestselling authors Sabrina Jeffries, Karen Hawkins, and Candace Camp, and USA TODAY bestselling author Meredith Duran come together for a sizzling historical romance holiday anthology. This book was an introduction to two authors I've not read before who goes by the names of Sabrina Jeffries and Meredith Duran.  I'm a huge fan of Karen Hawkins and Candace Camp and was giddy with excitement to read their short stories.  I've always heard of Sabrina Jeffries but I've not had the pleasure of reading her work  "The Heiress and the Hothead" .  Now after reading her short story, I want to read more.  Her story was fun and exciting. Especially the part where all the mistletoes seem to have disappeared . Of course, Karen Hawkins book had a starring hard-headed heroine in her story  "Twelve Kisses" , who listens to no one but herself and by that I mean her father. Of course, her stubbornness not only got  herself in trouble b...

This book was not what I was expecting. I thought that this was a novella and I prepared myself for that, but it was longer than I expected and spicy.  It does not have erotica in the genre, but it should, it really should. WARNING: Rated R. Running out on your wedding shouldn't be this much fun. Leah Harvey is frozen and the car she took for her getaway has decided to shut down on her.  Things wouldn't have been so bad if she wasn't in the middle of a snowstorm with nothing but her thin wedding dress. After witnessing her husband halfway up the bridesmaid’s skirt just hours before the ceremony, Leah ran from the wedding with nothing but the clothes on her back. Deciding that trying to get help was better than staying in the freezing car to die, Leah braced herself and took off into the direction of a light she saw in the distance.  Hoping that she can make it there before her limbs freeze off, Leah sets off with determination, even if the ...

This was a fun and sweet novella.  It makes me think of a modern day "The Night Before Christmas" story, minus the Ba Ham-buging. Holly Winterlake is having the most wonderful day on the most wonderful time of the year. Holly loves Christmas and every thing that goes with it.   The best part ( for her anyway ) is getting to skate on ice again. So getting the job as Ice Marshall at London's Somerset House is a dream come true. Noel Summerford gets grumpy around the Christmas Holidays.  Falling on his butt multiple times in the freezing snow does not help his mood. Having promised to bring his Godson to skate on the, was not exactly his idea of fun.  But seeing the ecstatic look on his Godson's face was well worth the torture. Things take an interesting turn when he is approached by the sexy Ice Marshall who is interested in giving his Godson some extra skating lessons, since he seems to be a natural on the ice. Not wanting to disappoint the kid, but als...

Feeling terrified and alone in a room filled of people who love her, all Chloe wants for Christmas is the reassurance that Sawyer loves her, and of course, Sawyer himself. But going a week without her husband is driving her mad, especially since she is close to her due date...

Two wonderful stories about family, love and determination.  I loved all the characters in this book and the stories just got better with each new story.  BONUS!  There are two short stories for your enjoyment at the end of the book! Simply Irresistible Maddie is having a not so good life right now.  She has just broken up from a bad relationship, lost her job and is close to being penniless.  Not wanting to lose faith, Maddie puts on a brave face and drives to Lucky Harbor where her mother left her and her two sisters an Inn. Feeling good about herself, things came crashing down when she ran someone off the road for one.  The other is that when she arrived at the Inn, it was to discover that it was nothing more than a ramshackle building in need of being torn down. Her sisters decided to sell, but knowing that this is her only shot, Maddie convinces them to take a chance on her. Would she fail them and herself, or would Maddie find everything...

Hmmm, The Dukes of war book 0.5?  Yeah I know, it's weird to read a book marked as 0.5 in a series, yet it has intrigued me.

Including her younger brother who Amelia suspects has not taken a wife because of her.  So in order to remedy that, she knows that she must marry first.  The best way to meet all of her candidates is at the Sheffield's annual Christmas Ball.
