4 CRANKY STARS


I’m only giving this anthology 4 stars due to its length. Twelve romance novels are just too much for me at one time. I’m not a big fan but some authors do write stories I can enjoy. Therefore, I’m concentrating this review on the three stories I loved.


The first is Come the Fall by Joline Vines. If you have read her Marry the Scot series, you’ll love it too. An old nemesis of the McRae boys appears in this novel. It is a nail bitter suspense novella that is hard to put down. Autumn is running from a threat back in Scotland and needs to hide. She thinks she has found the perfect spot on a cliff in Oregon. Afterall, she has read about all those hunky vampires found out there. She has her one-year old nephew with her, and he is her priority. When she meets Bull, her life changes in more ways than one. Suddenly she is a dependable, responsible grown woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. Swallowing her pride, she goes after the two things in life she can’t live without.


The second story I enjoyed was The Fighter by S.E. Rose. This is a heartwarming story about an ex-boxer running a gym. A young girl enters the gym one morning looking to take boxing lessons. She has very little money but is willing to work around the gym. A great story of humanity at its best. Meeting this child changes his life as well as hers. When he meets her sister and abusive father, Maverick is changed forever. Great love story that evolves slowly.


The rest of the book is similar, and all are well written. More of an adult mix of stories.
