  Blue Moon Magic is an enchanting collection of short stories. Each author wrote with the same theme in mind, but each story has its own uniqueness. You should have no problem finding a tale to suit your mood. Blue Moon Magic offers historicals, contemporaries, time travel, paranormal, and futuristic narratives to tempt your heart.

  Legend says that if you wish with all your heart upon the rare blue moon, your wishes were sure to come true. Each of the heroines discovers this magical fact. True love is out there if you just believe in it. In some of the stories, love happens in the most unusual ways. Angels may help, ancient spells may be broken, anything can happen. Even vampires will find their perfect mate with the power of the blue moon. Not every heroine believes they are wishing for love, some are just looking for answers to their problems or nagging questions. Fate seems to think the solution is finding the one who makes their heart sing.

  Blue Moon Magic is a perfect read for late at night or even during your commute to work. The short yet sweet stories are a wonderful way to spend a few minutes. If you do not have the time to finish a full-length novel, but hate stopping in the middle of a loving tale, I highly recommend grabbing this book.

  Love Under the Mistletoe is a fun anthology that infuses the beauty of the season with fun characters and unforgettable situations. This is one of those books that you can read year round and still derive great pleasure from each of the charming stories. A wonderful compilation of holiday stories.

  Perfect year round!

  Love and Silver Bells—I really enjoyed this heart-warming anthology. The four stories are different enough to keep you interested but all have their happy endings. The characters are heart wrenchingly human and hurting and simply looking for a little bit of peace on earth. Luckily they all eventually find it, although not without some strife. But we always appreciate the gifts we receive when we have to work a little harder to keep them. I recommend these warm holiday tales be read by the light of a well-lit tree, with a lovely fire in the fireplace and a nice cup of hot cocoa. All will warm you through and through.

  Love on a Harley, is an amazing romantic anthology featuring six amazing stories by six very talented ladies. Each story was heart-warming, tear jerking, and so perfect. I got tied to each one wanting them to continue on forever. Lost love, rekindling love, and learning to love are all expressed within these pages beautifully. I couldn't ask for a better romance anthology, each author brings that sensual, longing sort of love that every woman dreams of.

  Great job ladies!

  No Law Against Love —If you have ever found yourself rolling your eyes at some of the more stupid laws, then you are going to adore this novel. Over twenty-five stories fill up this anthology, each one dealing with at least one stupid or outdated law. Let me give you an example: In Florida, USA, there is a law that states ‘If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.’ In Great Britain, ‘A license is required to keep a lunatic.’ Yes, you read those correctly. No matter how many times you go back and reread them, the words will remain the same. Those two laws are still legal. The tales vary in time and place. Some take place in the present, in the past, in the USA, in England ... in other words, there is something for everyone! Best yet, profits from the sales of this novel will go to breast cancer prevention.

  A stellar anthology that had me laughing, sighing in pleasure, believing in magic, and left me begging for more! Will there be a second anthology someday? I sure hope so! This is one novel that will go directly to my ‘Keeper’ shelf, to be read over and over again. Very highly recommended!

  ~ Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews

  No Law Against Love 2—I'm sure you've heard about some of those silly laws, right? Well, this anthology shows us that sometimes those silly laws can bring just the right people together.

  I can highly recommend this anthology. Each story is a gem and each author has certainly given their readers value for money.

  These tantalizing Regency tales charm, tease, intrigue, titillate, and impart a touch of history. The five authors entertain with a beguiling variety of stories.

  “Enchanted Journey” by Cynthia Breeding transports divorcee, Ashley Bouvier, an emotionally bankrupt high school history teacher, from the 21st century to the early 19th century. There she meets Andrew Colton, Earl of Tiverton at a classic Regency ball. My, what a balm for her wounded self-esteem!

  A Celtic legend about Arawen, the god of the other world", his white horses and white dog with red eyes and ears add a magical touch to this love that reaches across the centuries. Not until Ashley wakes up back in the 21st century does she realize just how much the legend has changed to her life.

  “The Farmer's Son” by Erin E. M. Hatton

  Prissy, pretty Ellen Spencer goes to London with great expectations. Seventeen years old, she is totally wrapped up in her plans for her London Season and catching the most eligible bachelor of the Season. Yet even though Sir Charles Findley pays her court, she discovers he leads a double life. To make matters worse, she is rather hateful to the farmer's son Rodrick Benton, even though she is drawn to his quiet voice and gentle manner.

  Ellen's growing up and Rodrick's patience and pursuit of his love makes super good reading. Erin E. M. Hatton uses brief but revealing phases making this an irresistible story.

  ~~~

  “The Passage of Summer” by Gerri Bowen

  Love this story! It is full of humor, joy, and a touch of magic that just might come from the dram of fairy blood in Megara and Wickerdun's veins. Do the singing wood nymphs know?

  Megara's whimsy, beauty, quicksilver mind, wit, and sense of self-worth are characteristics that lure Clarence William Marshall DeBohem Wickerdun to recognize his true self rather than becoming vicious and vengeful, a twisted sol bedeviled by his demons like his father had been.

  Twenty-four year old Megara, to her aunt's delight, goes to London for the Season where Wickerdun returns refreshed and ready to embrace life.

  ~~~

  “Royal Watercolors” by Susan Flanders

  Lady Kitty, daughter in a happy, affluent home, expects to soon become the wife to the son of the Earl of Breyton and to one day be the mistress of Nebry Castle. But at present, she gives art lessons to Princess Victoria at Kensington Palace and finds herself drawn to Grey, the coachman who gives her transport. She cries about not being able to have him because of the class difference, but her heart doesn't give up.

  Mistaken identities in the Regency era often stir up quite a storm. This story, sprinkled with historical facts and undergirded with the hint of political intrigues is predictable but still a delight to read.

  ~~~

  “Wishes In April” by Kristi Ahlers

  Cassandra from Charleston, South Carolina cringes at all the rules in England's Regency society where she seems a constant embarrassment to Aunt Gertrude and Cousin Sara.

  The reader has a front row seat as James, the Duke of Sandringham, literally rides to the rescue of the woman he loves, foiling wicked intentions again and again.

  This collection of Regency stories can be enjoyed again and again—a delightful addition to one's book shelf.
