Melinda Conley was the last of three magical sisters to marry. After failing to find a mate in the supernatural community, she falls for a mortal. So what happens when her magic garden says he's not her one true love?
If it had not been for the fact that this was an eBook and on a much needed computer I would have thrown it against the wall because of her fiancé Eric. Not even a fairy tale woman deserves that kind of treatment. If I had been her I would have broken the rules just that once and used my magic to turn him into something no one would have recognized. But instead of doing something bad to them when she catches them in the act of having sex, she does something for the woman her fiancé is cheating on her with. Imagine that! Had the book been longer it would not have surprised me if her fiancé had intentions of moving his lover into Melinda’s home.
It’s good to see a book about magic that the mage in it uses her skills for good instead of bad.
Melinda is a kind sweet hearted woman. She holds strong to her true self and her magic. I really don’t know what would be more devastating for a woman as gentle as her, finding her fiancé having sex with his secretary or his ill intentions for her home and possessions. That is surely a hard way to find out the man you’re going to marry never loved you in the first place. But she is soon drawn in to the attraction of Rendell. Once again, Ms. Caudill shows her heart, compassion, and soul in her work.
Rendell is her fiancé’s partner in the company they work for. He is a compassionate man with a bit heart. He’s sympathetic and gentle. He shows all the qualities of being the perfect man for any woman. He is also magical and ends up being her true love.
Ms. Caudill grew up in West Virginia but now resides in North Carolina with her husband and two children. She has a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and previously worked as a quality assurance computer software tester. Reading has been her favorite activity for as long as she can remember and her home has more books than shelves to store them. While being a fulltime parent, she is pursuing a writing career. Recently she joined Romance Writers of America and the RWA chapter Heart of Carolina Romance Writers.

Lord Warnock is quite pleasing to the eye with a charming personality to match. If that doesn’t make him marketable, his title of Earl certainly does. Although he visits London, he isn’t a fan of the hustle and bustle of the city, instead preferring to spend his off Season time out in the country. With a quick wit and a mysterious demeanor, Warnock became the perfect hero to this short and lovely story.
Hoping to catch Lord Warnock’s eye, Laura Brownwell follows her parents to events throughout the Season. Gradually her eye becomes drawn to Lord Warnock more and more often. With a fluttering heart when he draws near and a sinking one when he walks the other way, Laura’s maiden spirit seems to focus on Lord Warnock. If it weren’t for the etiquette of the time dismissing a woman as nothing more than a silent shadow and a greasy fortune hunter out to win her hand in marriage, Laura could be on the road to utter Warnock bliss.
OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOR was the cute tale of what happens when a woman throws off the cloak of propriety and does what is necessary to ensure her future. Caught in a struggle between gaining a good life and evading the attentions of her fortune hunter suitor, Laura’s behavior is often humorous. Will she live her life as the wife of the insincere suitor, or will she gain the freedom to live her life in the happiness that she so desperately desires?
I have to say, OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOR was quite a nice book for how short it was. As it is only 29 pages, it could have been easy for Corwin to write a rushed story that left out key elements. Instead, she kept the story pertinent to the length and accommodated accordingly. OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOR doesn’t cover a large chunk of time, but the time that it does cover is well developed and full of tension.
The romance between our hero and heroine was wonderful and fit well with the length of the story. We didn’t get a full blown, passionate affair; instead, we got just a hint of magic and a touch of what the future for Catherine and Lord Warnock might hold. Along with the great character development, I think that Ms. Corwin’s writing really made this story a success.

Tripp had a hard time understanding why his dad would believe the lies of his girlfriends’ daughter and not his own son. Not wanting to stick around anymore he left home at an early age and had to grow up quickly to survive.
Reggie, who had to follow her money hungry mom go from boyfriend to boyfriend, had only really wanted one thing in life. She just wanted to actually belong some where, to belong to a family.
After being away from home for 11 years Tripp returns home for his dad’s funeral. Even after all these years Tripp still holds a very bitter grudge against Reggie for breaking up his family. After all these years Reggie still believes she did the right thing by setting Tripp’s dad’s prized horse free but she feels terrible for putting a wedge between the two men. After the will is read to both Tripp and Reggie’s surprise there is an extra stipulation Tripp’s dad added. In order for the ranch to stay in the family and not given away, they must work together and bring back Mason’s Gold to the ranch. They both have to come to terms from mistakes from the past but what they both didn’t expect is the passion and also the friendship that grows on their journey.
What a truly enjoyable book. Both Tripp’s and Reggie’s struggles were clearly described. At first I really didn’t like Reggie, she was a bit too selfish for me but more into the book I got to understand her character more and I couldn’t help but hope for the best for both Reggie and Tripp.

Sandy-haired, blue-eyed Brian is a computer game designer with a yen to finish a science fiction novel he calls “Star Master of the Universe.” He seeks solitude and inspiration at the local Starbucks, but something… or someone interferes with his ability to concentrate. He doesn’t know her name but she looks pretty hot behind that pink laptop. It’s hard to concentrate on his alpha male, Duke Starmaster, when the scenery is so distracting.
High school poetry teacher Elaine spends her Saturday morning at the local coffee shop working on “Magic Queen of Peaceful Meadows.” Her mind wanders to a future book signing and what she might wear, but she’s stalled with how to proceed with her heroine, Tranquility. Her missing muse may be more interested in the guy with the red laptop across the room than in finishing the third chapter.
When two authors cast stolen glances at one another while trying to finish their novels, sparks fly. Brian finally gets the nerve to speak to Elaine and is amazed to discover she’s an author, too. Her email address written on a napkin leads to a date where he passes her romantic test with flying colors. Another date, collaboration, and a melding of the minds result in a pleasant ending.
I really liked the way Ms. Polo combined a romance within a romance. Not only did I get to experience the emotions of her hero and heroine, I also got a glimpse into the stories they worked on and the romance flourishing there. This was a great touch and a refreshing concept. If you’re looking for a short, entertaining read, this may be it.
Ms. Polo claims to weave reading and writing with relaxation techniques. Her background as an English major, librarian and a yoga instructor certainly meet the requirements, so I have no reason to doubt her. If you want to find out more, check out her website at: http://amberpolo.com.

CURSES is a wonderful story with a great set of characters. Jonas Pierce is your tall, dark, and deliciously handsome hero. Oh yes, he also just happens to be a werewolf. Terrified of bringing his dark past into the present, Jonas attempts to detach himself from his more beastly nature as best he can. He spends the majority of his time instead writing as the world famous author, J.P. Wolfe. Hounded by a reporter that has discovered his real name and may be on to his secret, Jonas attempts to disappear to the upper peninsula of Michigan for some much needed quiet time to focus on his current work in progress. It’s no coincidence that he chooses Whispering Pines to escape. The next novel he is planning is a fiction novel surrounding witches and witchcraft. What he’ll find however, is much more than the local resident witch.
Melissa MacRae, our beautiful and spunky heroine is much more than just the innkeeper of Whispering Pines. She is also a witch, specializing in healing the people and animals around her. Burdened by a centuries old family curse, Mel is terrified of love and has avoided men as much as possible. When her powers start to dwindle and she can no longer help the living things to thrive around her, Mel discovers that a man might just be the thing she needs to jump-start her powers back into action. The arrival of the tempting Jonas Pierce brings up much more than long dormant hormones, however. Trouble starts to brew at Whispering Pines and it will be up to Mel to discover who or what is the cause.
CURSES has a great storyline mixed in with touching and often passionate romance. Whispering Pines has been passed down from daughter to daughter as each woman tries and fails to defeat the family curse. Unable to keep a man, each woman is destined to bear one daughter to continue carrying on the MacRae curse. Set atop a sacred and magical spot, Whispering Pines is more than a mystical boon to the MacRae witches; it is also prime land for the nearby Talcott Resort. Stuck between a fight to keep the Talcotts from running her off her property and her strange attraction to Jonas, Mel fights to protect her home and her heart.
I absolutely loved the story within CURSES. I found Jonas to be a refreshing hero. There are so many bad boy characters out there that it was nice to actually get a gentleman for a change. Don’t get me wrong, the bad boy fiend is still quite hot, but the strong, shape-shifting, caring protector leaves the heart fluttering warmly. Being caring doesn’t mean that Jonas is any less passionate, however. Ms. Pape instills quite a bit of passion into her story, making for some very steamy scenes. Often, hardly anything more than a look or a small touch occurs and yet she leaves us with our hearts pounding, palms sweating and general temperatures soaring through the roof.
The main story of CURSES involves Jonas’s background, Mel’s family curse and the Talcotts' incessant push to take over her land. The combination of these three really made for a detailed and complex story. I highly enjoyed the depth that this added to the book. I’m a huge fan of romance so I typically can find something enjoyable out of any romance novel, but in CURSES, Ms. Pape separated the romance with actions of mystery, suspense and adventure. These acted like accents of darkness to the brightness that made up the heat between Mel and Jonas. It gave us a break from the lust to explore something new and ensured that the interactions between Mel and Jonas always got the blood pumping.
Parts of the story were predictable but let me say that this in no way made it any less enjoyable. Even though I could see where a scene or two was going to go, the overall plot of the book was full of twists and turns. The story progressed well with the words flowing nicely across the pages. The last few pages of the story were a surprise for me and made for a great ending to a wonderful book. CURSES is one of those stories going to be great for a rainy afternoon. Even though I already know what happens at the end of the story, it is the story itself and the relationships that Ms. Pape creates that makes CURSES so enjoyable.

Dan is newly divorced and trying to get on with his life. His co-workers and friends all seem to want to pair him up with someone. When he spies a gorgeous creature at the local coffee house, he finally sees a reason to appreciate that his ex left him the lawn mower and took all the kitchen appliances. Otherwise, he’d never have seen Missy.
Missy stops in Fresh Brew every day for her morning fix. There’s a certain hunk that catches her eye, but she can’t find the nerve to approach him. Rather than try, she jumps in her yellow jeep and drives away, regretting she didn’t even get his name.
Missy calls a local radio advice program and solicits opinions on whether or not a woman should be the one to approach a handsome man. The consensus is overwhelmingly yes. Dan just happens to be listening and recognizes her voice. Could she be talking about him? He’s been having the same feelings about her, and doubting someone as beautiful could be interested in him. Although resolved to find out, everything he tries to say comes out wrong, making him feel like the idiot he believes he is. Finally he turns to the radio show for advice of his own.
Ms. Columbus has penned a quirky little story that makes you smile. Dan and Missy both want the other to make the first move, but neither have the courage. I wondered who would finally make the first move, and kept reading to find out. I guess you can’t take the editor out of some of us, and I do wish someone would have caught ‘shinny’ and made it ‘shinny.’ A minor complaint for such a sweet contemporary story. I definitely would read more of Ms. Columbus’ work.

Melinda Conley was the last of three magical sisters to marry. After failing to find a mate in the supernatural community, she falls for a mortal. So what happens when her magic garden says he's not her one true love?
If it had not been for the fact that this was an EBook and on a much needed computer I would have thrown it against the wall because of her fiancé Eric. Not even a fairy tale woman deserves that kind of treatment. If I had been her I would have broken the rules just that once and used my magic to turn him into something no one would have recognized. But instead of doing something bad to them when she catches them in the act of having sex, she does something for the woman her fiancé is cheating on her with. Imagine that! Had the book been longer it would not have surprised me if her fiancé had intentions of moving his lover into Melinda’s home.
It’s good to see a book about magic that the mage in it uses her skills for good instead of bad.
Melinda is a kind sweet hearted woman. She holds strong to her true self and her magic. I really don’t know what would be more devastating for a woman as gentle as her, finding her fiancé having sex with his secretary or his ill intentions for her home and possessions. That is surely a hard way to find out the man you’re going to marry never loved you in the first place. But she is soon drawn in to the attraction of Rendell. Once again, Ms. Caudill shows her heart, compassion, and soul in her work.
Rendell is her fiancé’s partner in the company they work for. He is a compassionate man with a bit heart. He’s sympathetic and gentle. He shows all the qualities of being the perfect man for any woman. He is also magical and ends up being her true love.
Beth grew up in West Virginia but now resides in North Carolina with her husband and two children. She has a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and previously worked as a quality assurance computer software tester. Reading has been her favorite activity for as long as she can remember and her home has more books than shelves to store them. While being a fulltime parent, she is pursuing a writing career. Recently she joined Romance Writers of America and the RWA chapter Heart of Carolina Romance Writers.

Faith is a woman who lives up to her name. She is going home for the first time in years after the mysterious death of her husband, hoping for a new beginning for her and her young son. She has faith that God to help pull her through this dark time into a time of peace. She hopes for a new love, or rather an old one.
Adam has faith in God too, but he has been haunted by what could have been with Faith for years. He will do whatever it takes to protect her and her young son from the people who might mean her harm.
People can be brought together by their faith in God. One character wants to go home again, and the other wants to be with the woman that he has loved for years. Finally, they each have the chance to live out a dream and figure out what is real. Adam is there to watch out for her. Faith will find out the truth about whether her husband is truly dead or if it all is just a lie. Can we trust our heart to tell the truth? Can we trust in faith and God?
I really liked this story. I have not read a romance in a while that had people in it who had faith in God. It was very refreshing to see stories about people who still have faith in God and let Him direct their lives, and are not ashamed to admit it.
Thumbs way up for this author. I hope to see more books like this from her.

Meet Melena Russell, a shy 18 year old young woman who has always stepped down and backed away from any type of serious relationship, except that of her love and devotion to God. Now meet Dylan Hart. He is the first guy in a long time to intrigue Melena since her unrequited feelings for Rick. Melena and Dylan begin something wonderful at a Christian Summer Camp and though the future looks bright for them, Cassandra, Melena’s younger sister, has other ideas.
Cassandra is selfish, angry, and spiteful, but most of all she is lost. Can Melena with God’s help break the barrier between them, and will her brother Nick ever recover from the accident that hurt him and killed his girlfriend?
The only real hope besides God for Melena and Dylan are their best friends Chad and April. April knows what Cassandra has done to Melena throughout the years, and with Chad’s help, they continually bring Dylan and Melena together.
LOVE THY SISTER, GUARD THY MAN by Ms. Mendoza is a wonderfully refreshing treat and glimpse into the life of a teenage Christian trying to find her way in the world. Though Melena’s life has its ups and downs, her faith in God is inspiring. Thank you Ms. Mendoza for bringing us Melena and all the wonderful and very real characters of LOVE THY SISTER, GUARD THY MAN.
