This story is funny and conflicted. Easton and Hanna have been at each other for years. Hanna asks Easton to help her win the celebrity chef's heart. Yes, you can see where this is going. These two are oil and vinegar with a touch of fiery spice. It's good reading and a lot of laughs.
This story is full of secrets and mystery. Charles doesn't understand how he has hurt Odelia as an adolescent. but he falls for her when he returns from the continent. There is a lot of death going around in Charles family and Odelia agrees to help him. This story has some good twists in the plot and is a fun read.
This story is always heart-warming and this one is no different. Unfortunately, our hero is a PTSD angry veteran who is ordered by the court to get his life straightened out. Our heroine is the youngest Callahan who is striving to help this man. The problem is falling in love with your patient. This story tries to address the ethical issues of dating your therapist, but Riley doesn't want to hear it just like everything else in his life. If we can all learn that communication is the key to healing and the path to a healthy relationship.
This plot actually wrote itself. A girl from the future loses everything. She gets trapped in a time vortex and sent back to the early 1700's where witches are burned at the stake. Happens to stumble upon the Laird who tries to save all the women the priest tries to burn at the stake. Ah, love is in the air! This story is actually well-written and the characters well-developed, even our anger-filled, woman-hating priest. Rejection leaves a mighty deep mark on small-minded people. Those of us who are wisdom filled, know better and move on with our lives embracing love.
This is a fun historical story about an energetic woman who meets a surveyor whose brother is injured. The story is light-hearted and adventurous. Josie is up for adventure and Matt is losing his heart. The characters are lovable and the story is action-packed.
The rather daunting Gwen Arlington is running for mayor. The county commissioner thinks he can control her. Her opponent is in love with her, and her family supports her campaign. I laughed and moaned through the dialog and the predictability of the town people. Gwen is your typical woman rights supporter and her interaction with Morgan is too conflicted at times. I guess Morgan likes women that rebuff him. The story is compelling, but the conflict is over done.
This is an old fashioned version of a scam artist. Only this scam works in favor of the captain assigned to Maggie's case. Falling in love with Maggie was never in sight when Maggie forces herself into traveling with the captain to find the truth about her fiance. This story is witty and a lot of fun, especially the unexpected turn at the end. There are advantages to knowing people who know how the inside of the military works. How she deals with her fake fiance is disappointing, but Maggie's heart is too soft, even after all the pain this man caused her. The story of her and the captain is one of adventure and fun.
This is a well written story with well developed characters. The story and plot fit seamlessly together. Tabitha married the wrong man and ended up working for a living to feed her and her son. There is nothing worse than being married to a rogue. Tabitha is hired to nurse a sea captain back to health. As she helps the captain find his way, they fall in love with each other. This is where my morality comes into play with this story. The author did a good job of keeping adultery from happening, but Tabitha should have informed her employer she was married. This story has a happy ending, but in real life, things would have turned out much worse.
This is an excellent story about a woman forgotten by her father and man broken by war. As they start out the season, courtesy of Hugh's mother, these two start to heal each other's hearts. This story is very romantic and heart-warming.
