Short Story & 3 Mini’s

1) Into the Dreaming by Karen Marie Moning

BLURB:

IT WASN’T ALL JUST A DREAM…

Aspiring romance novelist Jane Sillee was completely in love with her fantasy man–the hot and strapping dark-haired Highlander who’d been coming to her in her dreams for years and inspired her sensual flights of literary fantasy.

But it was more than her imagination that conjured up the brilliantly woven tapestry sporting the spitting image of her magnificently arrogant warrior. It was more than a dream that transported her to medieval Scotland to break an evil spell. And it was more than she could handle when she found herself wrapped in the muscular arms of Aedan MacKinnon, who had his own fantasies to fulfill…

FORMAT: Paperback

REVIEW:

This is about a 100 page book set in the Highlander world and is absolutely faboulous!  As Karen always does for me–blends a wonderful tale with several surprise turns.  I do hope someday she writes some more along this line.

2) Roped Into Romance by Alison Kent

BLURB:

Lauren Hollister goes after what she wants. And what she wants is sexy architect Anton Neville!

FORMAT: eBook

REVIEW:

Well I read the rest of this series and I really liked it over all.  This story though didn’t ‘work’ for me.  Their reactions always seemed off to me along with the assumptions(and I say this because I didn’t see what one would say as meaning what the other took it to mean) being made which in turn gave the couple their conflict.  I was kind of disappointed as I’d already read the rest of the full length books and was expecting…more.  Not in terms of words but the way things played out.

3) Outback Reunion by Bronwyn Jameson

BLURB:

Nic has agreed to keep an eye on the Carlisle family’s huge cattle station, but when he arrives, he’s shocked at what he finds!

FORMAT: eBook

REVIEW:

An alright read.  I wasn’t sure what to make of the gal’s reactions to many things.  For me they didn’t seem to add up.  I’d like to read some more of Jameson’s though–try out some full length.  This was my first for her and since I often don’t seem to ‘click’ with short stories would like to see what I think of her in a different format.

4) The Boss’s Bought Mistress by Sharon Kendrick

BLURB:

Giovanni Cerruti’s wealthy family is always in the spotlight… so when his step-sister is headed for a rehabilitation clinic, he decides to work the paparazzi to keep her image from being splashed across the tabloids. With the help of his spin doctor, Giovanni devises a plan to keep the press occupied with another story — a fake engagement to his housekeeper, Misty Carmichael! But will Giovanni fall victim to his own plan?

FORMAT: eBook

REVIEW: I liked this one.  I liked that the gal stuck to her guns yet knew when to not drag it out.
