This was a time traveling adventure with lots of danger and plenty of heat. The characters were fairly well drawn for such a short story. It felt like this was part of a series, but I couldn’t determine that. Either way, the story was a great read.

Christmas in 1899 starts as a joyless affair. Bethany Cundiff has hit a rough patch in life. While caring for her young niece and nephew, she's evicted from her residence and fired from her job ten days before Christmas. To make matters worse, a gentleman who desires her company for the holiday, and has the money to back up the promise, propositions her for sex.

Blake Wenchal is a disenchanted elf that's been banished from the Northern Realm and Santa's court because he's lost the spirit of compassion and charity. Lonely from years spent by himself, he's thrown off balance when Bethany accepts his ill-advised offer of paid bed mate—except she arrives on his doorstep with children in tow.

Neither one counted on the power of love, acceptance and the miracle of family to make the holiday unforgettable.

Disenchanted Christmas is a heart-warming holiday keepsake that I will be sure to reread every year. Bethany is in desperate straights and even while facing an ethical dilemma she is still a strong and principled woman. Blake is malcontent with the season and humans in general until Bethany and her niece and nephew burrow their way into his disgruntled heart. Experiencing his interactions with the children and his reviving joy through them is such a treat. I loved how well developed every character introduced was and Blake’s neighbor is someone I hope to see make a reappearance in upcoming adventures. This story left me feeling that holiday miracles definitely can come true and that even our bleakest moments can lead to a lifetime of happiness.

When Tiernan made the wish to be a fairy godfather, he had no idea what it all meant. Reina, one of the head fairies never warmed up to Tiernan, but maybe that’s because she secretly lusted after the unorthodox fairy. Affirming Tiernan among the ranks of fairy godmothers will take him finally giving a human a happily ever after, but to get there will mean letting go of his own dissolutions and maybe even finding his own with the fairy godmother of his dreams.

The love story between Tiernan and Reina was the story to watch. I enjoyed watching their love grow despite their personal issues. I didn’t love the side story with Cinderella nearly as much as the main storyline. Overall, a very interesting and entertaining (oh and steamy) take on the fairy godmother idea. A great story for a reader looking for a steamy fantasy story with a familiar twist.

Stunningly beautiful Lady Evelyn Hume is pursued by London bachelors for her looks and fortune. Few recognize her extraordinary intelligence, until a most unusual encounter with a partially blind Earl.

Although Colin Livingswell has never seen Eve Hume, he knows more of her heart than any of her admirers. The Earl is determined to show Eve with his words and actions he is worthy of her—but the villain stalking him endangers them both.

Will Colin trust Eve and her family with his dangerous secret in time to save himself? Will Eve trust her heart to view him differently from all her other suitors? For both of them, beauty truly must be in the eyes of the beholder.

Unseen Heiress is no cork-brained piece of Regency fluff. This story has a very modern feeling that does not diminish the historical ambiance. Eve is a veritable diamond of the first water who could easily cross the line into conceit but she is a genuinely intelligent and extraordinarily beautiful young woman. She comes across as so much more than the poor lonely rich girl. Colin is an outstanding hero. I lost my heart to him almost immediately and with each word I grew even fonder of him. The secondary characters of this story added so much to the plot and the tone and the world the author created is one I want to become a frequent visitor. If you are looking for a delightful break from the everyday this is the short story for you.

 Ava is a werewolf who is unable to shift and completely dissatisfied with the way her life turned out. Sam is a phoenix days away from his last change, destined for death without a mate or offspring to carry on his legacy. A twist of Strange Hallow fate sends Ava back to the 1800’s where she and Sam meet and attraction sparks, but only time will tell if their love affair can last.

I enjoy Sandra Sookoo’s Strange Hallow world. I hope she has loads more stories in this world she’s built because amazing things can happen. I liked Ava’s sassiness and Sam’s old school nature that didn’t require him to be ‘alpha’ so much as strong. The story is well written and enjoyable; however, it did not end how I wanted it to-not at all. Still, I can’t complain because the story was well done and I liked the characters and can’t wait to pick up the next installment.

There is something mysterious and sexy about WWII for me so when I saw this book I knew I had to read it.  The book highlights the fact that there was a resistance movement in Germany during the War and it touches on a relationship that crosses religious and social boundaries.   The story starts with a flashback of a beautiful young, Jewish, bankers daughter named Rebecca running directly into the definition of an Aryan male named Gustav.  She is embarrassed and wants nothing to do with the large man, whereas he would like nothing more than to lose himself in her if he beauty.  Rebecca quickly walks away hoping to forget the man and move on with her life.  Gustav wonders if he’ll ever forget her.

            Fast forward to the night of Kristnacht in Berlin when the Jewish people are thoughtlessly rounded up and arrested.  Rebecca has lost her family and her fiancé and has had nothing to eat for days.  She knows that she must run and after packing a bag she escapes from her apartment.  It doesn’t take long for a few thugs to start following her. Luckily Gustav hears her cry out and steps in.  He takes her to his home which he shares with his Grandmother Berite and so begins a love story that will make you both laugh and cry.  I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down and after finishing it started reading it again!

Vanessa Fitzwilliam is in dire straits. Her father's death a year ago left her with a crumbling manor and a handful of old retainers relying on her for support. When the Duke of Northbridge sweeps into her life with a surprise proposal, Vanessa is tempted—but the arrogant duke believes her to be something she's not.

Hardened by the ravages of war, Northbridge seeks a wife who will provide him with an heir but make no demands on his emotions. The scandalously experienced Vanessa, neither clinging nor innocent, seems the perfect choice. But Northbridge isn't prepared for her reluctance to accept him, or his own fierce reaction to her beauty.

To fulfill his desires, Northbridge is prepared to be ruthless, but can he bend Vanessa to his will? Or has the Duke met his match?

The Duke's Blackmailed Bride is a wonderfully spicy Regency romance. The traditional storyline is enhanced by the engaging characters and the setting. Vanessa is a feisty heroine but there is more to her than the gossiping ton knows and I loved watching Northbridge’s reactions as he discovers the woman beyond the scandal. There are hidden layers to the hero as well and I loved uncovering the emotions behind the taciturn lord. Wonderful descriptions transported me to a faraway time and place. This was a great break to the everyday and I cannot wait to read other offerings by this author.

The story started off with an intriguing erotic scene and kept building on the heat. Setting details were handled well, taking the reader to long ago London. Characters were complex and there was a lot of external and internal conflict for such a short story. All in all, this was very well written.
