This is the first book of a series about the Donovan cousins, all witches with their own special talents. This book was good, and I enjoyed getting to meet the cousins from the subsequent two books.

Very cute story. Loved the hero and heroine and the twist that the hero was holding out for more from the heroine. The addition of a quirky cast of pets was a plus.

This is one of the best books of the series. Mac is really growing as a heroine, and the action was fast-paced and suspenseful. And what an ending! The cliffhanger keeps you guessing long after you finish the book.

I loved this book. Definitely a departure for Linda Howard. I tend to read only her older romances since suspense books aren't my usual taste. But this suspense book is the kind I like. A good mystery with not a lot of gory details about the actual crime. And FUNNY. This, and it's predecessor To Die For, are hilarious books. Wyatt and Blair are a great couple. Blair is refreshing and has a great attitude, despite her high maintenance. I loved her note writing in this book. Definitely recommend both books.

Having been a fan of this series for several years now, I have to say this is the best installment since To The Nines. Many laugh out loud moments. Stephanie shows lots of maturity in this one, thinks things through. I was thrilled to see more of one mystery storyline rather than a series of skips that Steph bumbles her way through. I like to see her showing her intelligence. And Janet moved the triangle forward with plenty of interaction with Stephanie and Joe and a positioning of Ranger back in the role of mentor that he held in the first several books. New characters like Zook and Gary blended well with old favorite Mooner. Felt this book was more in line with the beginning of the series than any of the recent books and was happy to laugh out loud with Plum fun.

I am a fan of VLT's writing, and hers is the only story I read in this anthology. But I really enjoyed it. It was sweet and very funny.

Very cute romance. I enjoyed the twist regarding the guiding angels, a solid romance with a slightly paranormal slant. The other two books in the trilogy, Heaven Sent and Match Made in Heaven were equally as good.

I absolutely loved this book. It is the final book in a trilogy about three friends, and they are all wonderful books. The hero and heroine sizzle together, the romance is heartfelt, and the secondary storyline with PJ and Jared added another layer to the story.

This book was OK. It had a cute premise, and was funny. The author has a knack for funny dialogue. Where this book fell flat for me was the character development. I never felt connected with the characters. I think the author needed to give the character's backstories earlier in the book, so we connect with them and care about them. That didn't happen for me, most notably with the hero. So although the book was funny, it wasn't enough for me to overcome the lack of connection with the characters. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

A sweet book. I loved the hero and the heroine, and the antics of the guiding angel were hilarious. A solid romance with a slightly paranormal twist. Along with Heaven in Your Eyes and Heaven Sent, a great trilogy.


Merry Christmas, Baby: It's Christmas, Cowboy! / Northern Fantasy / He'll Be Home for Christmas (Harlequin Blaze, No 651)
Review Date: 2/11/2012


Overall, this was a good, solid holiday anthology. I really enjoyed Rhonda Nelson's story, which was funny, smart and sweet. Vicki Lewis Thompson's story (which was the reason I wanted this book), was also sweet. In both of these stories, which were part of previous series, I liked that the author didn't make the reader feel "lost" if they hadn't read the series. I've read the series that VLT's story is from, but not Nelson's. On the other hand, I did get that lost feeling from LaBrecque's story, and didn't feel a connection to the characters subsequently.

This book was pure fun. Great characters, outrageously funny situations and dialogue. I love Nancy Warren's writing for these reasons and she didn't disappoint.

This was a very cute story about a woman from the Highlands who was apprenticing as a witch with her grandmother. When her father finds out, he sends her to America to be married to the heroes great-great uncle, and circumstances are such that she spends the next 100 years as a ghost. When the hero moves into "her" home, she isn't happy and her ghostly hijinks provide plenty of laughs. It's a cute story and romance.
