“Women's fiction at its finest!

Anne Whitfield has penned a wonderful historical novel addressing hurtful family issues as well as triumphs. Gossamer Wings is set in 1870 Leeds, England, in a time when women had few choices.

Despite the abuse of her father, the emotional abandonment of her mother, and the unpredictability of her six sisters, stalwart Grace Woodruff keeps the family together through thick and thin. But all she really wants is her own family.

Gossamer Wings is a story of serious family issues, of love lost and love gained, of financial strife and crossing class lines. Ms. Whitfield brings amazing strength of character to Grace as well as depth of emotion to all characters--characters you're sad to leave at the end. I would recommend Gossamer Wings to anyone.”

“Another winner for Dawn Thompson!

The Falcon's Bride is a love story--of a mother's sacrifice for her son, as well as the passion between Ros and Thea.

Thea Barrington travels to Ireland with the intention of marrying Nigel Cosgrove. While Thea has her doubts, she knows this match will be a good one for her father's finances. Enter one old Gypsy lady who tells Thea she's the Black Falcon's bride. But the Black Falcon is a legend--half Irish lord and half Gypsy, not a real man, and dead long ago. Still, at the Winter Solstice, Thea is drawn to a 5,000-year-old passage tomb called Newgrange, where she is transported to the arms of Ros Drumcondra, the Black Falcon. And the passion begins.

Talk about a delicioso hero--Ros Drumcondra fills the bill and more. Yum. Thea Barrington is strong enough as well as smart enough to be his match in both wits and passion. The Falcon's Bride is a compelling story you won't want to put down. Every offering from this talented author gets better and better. This book is definitely a keeper!

“A Magical Treat!

There's nothing better on a cold winter day than a cup of steaming cocoa and a good book WITCHLING definitely qualifies as a good book--one of the best of 2006. And if reading about Camille D'Artigo and her sisters' exploits doesn't get your blood pumping, well you'd better watch out because Moenolly might want a snack. (She's very neat about it, though.)

The book is set in contemporary greater Seattle area and features the three D'Artigo sisters who are half human and half fae. Each has a special gift although because they're half-bloods, their gifts aren't exactly reliable. Camille is a witch, Delilah shapeshifts to a kitty, and Menolly is a vamp. The sisters work for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency and must find another operative's murderer. But when the murder turns into three--demons, that is, things get a little exciting. I really don't want to say much about the plot because each chapter is a discovery, and the reader will want to make that discovery himself.

Who doesn't like murder, suspense, dragons, demons, and a baby gargoyle, all mixed in with a good dose of humor? WITCHLING is an exciting, compelling read. The worldbuilding is incredible and the characters are spellbinding, no pun intended. I heartily recommend this book and am eagerly looking forward to the next in the Sisters of the Moon series, CHANGELING.

“While the Vernons are intent on getting Harriet married, she has other things on her mind--like traveling the globe like her namesake, Great-aunt Harriet. But then she bumps into Beldon, and, well, things get out of hand in a hurry!

This is a delightful traditional Regency story. The characters are well crafted and the story skillfully told. Ms. Laik has a Regency voice that is all too rare, and I look forward to reading other books from this author.

Highly recommended!”

“I loved Highland Rogue as much as I loved Leanne Burroughs' first book, Highland Wishes. Highland Rogue is filled with adventure, emotion, and love. Ms. Burroughs writes with heart--definitely an autobuy author!

“Highland Wishes is the first book of two, and, I hope many more historical novels set in Scotland by Leanne Burroughs. The hero (Grant Drummond) and heroine (Tory Blackstone) belong together and I couldn't help but root for their HEA right from the very beginning. Grant is the gruff, alpha male but he can't resist the kind-hearted Tory, his match in every way. I loved this book--its heart and soul stayed with me many days after I finished it. I highly recommend Highland Wishes to anyone who loves classic historical romance.

“I was really excited to have two stories accepted for this wonderful anthology, with profits going to benefit breast cancer research. Two stories won the ParaRomance Readers P.E.A.R.L. Award: Bad Cat by Deborah MacGillivray, and my first story, Faery Good Advice. My story is also the last story (although expanded) in Faery Special Romances. Deborah's story will be reprinted in her one-woman anthology, Cat O' Nine Tales.

NLAL also contains stories by award-winning author Leanne Burroughs, as well as thirteen more wonderful new talented authors. Sixteen authors wrote twenty-four enchanting stories of love, all based on silly or antiquated laws. You won't want to miss this anthology!”
