Laura Florand’s The Chocolate Heart is a Parisian Valentine and a must-read in my book!

imageChocolate and Paris – who wouldn’t love this winning combination? Summer Corey, that’s who. Summer is author Laura Florand‘s newest heroine in her Amour et Chocolat series, which is as addictive as the chocolate her chocolatiers and pastry chefs create.

In book five of the series, The Chocolate Heart, Summer is given a five-star Parisian landmark hotel by her father in order to compel her home from her South Seas idyll.

Romantic and quirky Kentucky Christmas by Sarah Title is a fun, holiday novella

imageKentucky Christmas by Sarah Title is a charming holiday novella that has a features a quirky hero and heroine that you know are somehow going to find their happily-ever-after – no matter how impossible it seems at first.

I really enjoyed this book as it didn’t follow the standard formula, but had a few bends in the road – like the one that Andrew met when he crashed his car in the side of the bar.

imageShannon Stacey once again offers a solid romance in her The Kowalskis series with the seventh installment, Love a Little Sideways. These stories of Boston and Maine-based cousins is one that I really enjoy. I’d marked book seven’s 1 December release date on my calendar and was quite pleased that the publisher shared a review copy recently.

Love a Little Sideways picks up the story of Kowalski sister Liz and police chief Drew, her brother Mitch’s best friend. Yes, they had that quick and dirty hook-up at her brother’s summer wedding to Paige, but nothing more was supposed to …

Five stars for Sara Humphreys’ Unclaimed, book 5 in The Amoveo Legend series

imageWith the continuing popularity of shifter romances, I know that I’m not the only one who likes to escape into a world where seemingly human beings can become animals. Sometimes I wonder if that’s because I think my animals might have their own human characteristics that they share with me. In any case, one of my favorite series that I discovered via my Kindle a year or so ago is Sara Humphreys’ The Amoveo Legend. Today the fifth book in the series, Unclaimed, is released and it is another winner.

What each of these books has in common …
