5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth. It is a holiday romance story that is wonderful to read. I loved the characters of Rowan West and Jeremy Kincannon. They are both up for the same promotion. Sent to a Christmas-themed park to help with their advertising. What does the future hold for Rowan and Jeremy? Read this book to find out. Rowan is a woman who is driven to succeed in her job. Sometimes this includes shutting out of everything else. Will she have the courage to have some fun? Jeremy is handsome, charming, and kind. What will happen when his feelings for Rowan start to change? I grew to care about Rowan and Jeremy with each chapter that I read. I enjoyed the bantering back and forth between them. This is a perfect holiday story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I also enjoyed the additional characters that are introduced and interact with Jeremy and Rowan. Don’t miss out on reading this story. I highly recommend it.

I loved reading this anthology. The stories are romantic, steamy, and wonderful to read. Each one has amazing characters that I enjoyed reading about. They come from all different backgrounds. There are also secondary characters in the stories that I enjoyed reading about as well. I love anthologies as I get to read from a wide range of authors. Some I have read other stories by and there are also new authors that I am introduced to. All of the authors have created well-written stories that will have you hooked. I didn’t want to put them down. Don’t miss out on a box set of stories that are romantic and have the temperature in the room rising. I highly recommend this anthology.

I enjoyed reading the book The History of the Universe: As My Soul and I Remember by Stuart Ledwith. It is an interesting and intriguing story that I found hard to put down once I started.

Love Surreptitiously
By Tarrah Anders
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders. It is a romantic comedy that I couldn’t put down once I started it. I loved the characters of Sidney Matthews and Quinlan Montgomery. Sidney is a woman who is intelligent, strong, and independent. I like Sidney because she says what she is thinking even if it is a little too honest. There are times in this story that I was smiling or laughing out loud at what she says. Quinlan is a man who is handsome, charming, and doesn’t expect the attraction that he feels for Sidney. He knows what he wants and that is a relationship with her. What does the future hold for Sidney and Quinlan? Will secrets that are being kept end any chance that their relationship will work? Read this book to find out. This story has moments of comedy as well as emotional moments. I grew to care about Sidney and Quinlan with each chapter that I read. There are other characters introduced that I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the story. The author does an amazing job of making the characters come to life. Don’t miss out on a romance story that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading this book
