My Review:
This collection is very amazing, six great novels that meet the needs of all readers: there is a medieval romance, one full of suspense, a paranormal story, a Young Adult, and a romantic Christmas tale. This is different from the other collections: typically consist of short stories but here there are novels (the length varies from 136 to 500 pages). It is a good opportunity to meet some great author and to approach one genre that usually we don't read.
Be Mine This Christmas Night is a really sweet and very realistic novel. Great read during Christmas time but it's fine at any time of the year, especially when you have longing for the magic of Christmas. The protagonist of this story loves Christmas and especially the lights. She decorates her house that becomes truly magical, creating a fairytale atmosphere and everyone goes to visit her. Only her cynical neighbor can't stand her. Will she heal the heart of this grinch?
The Mapmaker's Wife ~ Kathy L Wheeler is a really exciting historical novel with a perfect blend of romance and suspense and extraordinary and well defined characters. It set during the Civil War, a widower man asks a spinster to marry him to help him to grow his daughter.
Haunted by Death is a novel full of suspense and twists, once you start it's really hard to put it down. A girl disappears in a campground and the lives of her friends changed forever.
Angels Assassin is a really addictive and thrilling medieval romance. There is romance, action, adventure, intrigue.
The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet is a sweet Young Adult, which will make us remember the beats and feelings of our first love.
A Hunter 4 Rescue is a brilliant paranormal romance with a compelling and well-developed storyline and complex and very realistic characters.
If you love a lot of different genres, this book is a great read
EXCERPT:
from The Mapmaker’s Wife ~ Kathy L Wheeler
“Miss Ruthers?”
“Yes. It’s me, Mr. Williams.”
“Good heavens, you’ll catch your death.” He leaned over the
edge, gripping the wood rail. She thought she caught concern, however fleeting.
“You haven’t a coat.”
“No, Mr. Williams. I didn’t have much time, I’m afraid.”
“You’d best come in.” At his grim tone, she cast a glance to
the bank of trees behind. “Now, Miss Ruthers. It’s freezing out.”
Clutching her torn shirt tighter with one hand, Elizabeth
Dishes filled the sink and the floor needed a good sweeping.
His limp seemed more pronounced as he filed in and hung the lantern on a hook
next to the door. He shut it softly, staring at her all the while, arms folded
over a broad chest.
The heat in the kitchen, after the cold night, seemed
stifling and overwarm. His eyes moved over her, pausing at her throat where her
frozen hand secured her shirt in a fist, rising back up to her damp hair,
dripping puddles on the floor. She was so warm, she felt faint.
After a long pause, he asked, “Is there something you wish
to tell me, Miss Ruthers?”
“I-I accept your proposal.”
