“A Love Rewritten” by Esmerelda Bishop

When Gabrielle wakes up and she’s not in bed, it only takes a few minutes for her to realize that she’s woken up in another time. Not only that, but she’s woken up in the middle of her romance novel with the hero thinking she is the heroine. But will the story play out as she’s read it, or will it change now that she’s in the middle of it?

“A Love Rewritten” is an interesting twist on the story of a woman falling in love with her novel. Although we knew how Gabrielle felt about the hero, it would have been nice to see a little more of their developing relationship.

“Mistletoe Magic” by Lanie Fuller

A wish granting mistletoe is the answer to Hannah’s problem. But will she remember her nightmare in time to prevent it from coming true?

“Mistletoe Magic” is a story that makes one thankful for what we have in life and not to take things for granted. I enjoyed the interaction between the hero and heroine.

“High Maintenance” by Jamie Hill

A ski vacation is almost cut short when Deidre collides with a tree and finds herself stuck inside the resort. What a good thing the maintenance man is so cute and attentive; she could use a distraction from what has become a very boring vacation.

“High Maintenance” is a cute romance. I would have enjoyed more of a developing relationship, more insight to the emotions of the characters.

“Letting Go” by Ava Rose Johnson

Six months can feel like six years, especially with the tragic loss of a baby. When Grace asked John to give her time and space, she hadn’t realized how far apart they had become. John’s request for them to try and fix their marriage leaves her stunned and hopeful, but also guilty because it is her fault that they grew so far apart in the first place. Will they be able to overcome their fears and hurts or will the tragedy be too much?

“Letting Go” is a touching tale of a woman who, in trying to protect herself from hurt, hurts the one she loves the most. John is a wonderful hero and almost too good for Grace, but the two make a wonderful couple and the story is heartwarming.

“Solstice Night” by Lyra Marlowe

Liesel is on the run. Again. She doesn’t want to be a pawn, to be used for her powers, but that is exactly what someone has in mind. And the bounty hunter he’s sent after her is desperate for money. The hunter has much pain in his past, possibly too much to allow him to feel sympathy for the healer. Or can she heal even a wounded heart?

“Sostice Night” is an intriguing story. Liesel is a kind, generous woman who would see harm to herself before it would come to others. In helping a total stranger, she risks everything, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“A Winter’s Gift” by Kim Rees

Dumped again, Siobhan runs home for comfort and sympathy. That she’d rather not run into her friend Ethan is understandable. He is almost gleeful that she’s been dumped. Again. But in his attempt to cheer her up for her birthday, perhaps he can show her just what was wrong with all her failed relationships, and how to make one work.

In “A Winter’s Gift” Siobhan and Ethan strike sparks from the start and it only gets better. Ethan is a wonderfully written hero and I love the way he sets out to cheer up and capture Siobhan.

“Einmal nach a Modresnach” by Emily Ryan-Davis

Sophie is on holiday with other female family members, and her grandmother’s cute male nurse.  David tells Sophie about dreams and Modranicht, and gives her hope that she had thought impossible.

“Einmal Nach a Modresnach” is a story that brings hope to the reader. I wish there had been more to this story, at least in the explanation about Sophie’s baby to David if nothing else. The premise was wonderful and I’d love to see this story written more thoroughly.

“Sugar Baby” by Fiona Shinn

Julia might be twenty-nine, but she’s not too old to find a man. Unfortunately, she’s in a small town where everyone knows everyone, and she has given up hope of finding someone. But then a new man arrives in town, and she thinks that he might be as interested in her as she is in him.

“Sugar Baby” is a story about a lonely woman meeting a gorgeous newcomer to town. This is not a romance, more like a meeting of two compatible people. While an enjoyable read at first, it ended too quickly and left me wondering where the rest of the story was.
