"Perfect Cadence"
Thirty-year-old Keri Woods has had it with her no-commitment, no-way boyfriend Rob. Planning to get her head on straight, she accepts her boss Angela’s offer to use the Lewis family’s cabin for a two-week skiing vacation over the Christmas holiday. Little does Keri realize that her boss's cousin, Joshua Lewis, is already occupying the very same cabin at the very same time. Ten years earlier, Keri and Joshua had shared a single, unforgettable day and night together that ended with a kiss that left them both desperately smitten. Yet Joshua’s life had been too complicated. At only twenty-six, he’d realized that there could be no long-distance, long-term relationship between them. He hadn’t been ready to have his whole life happen to him at once. His decision to leave and never see her again had come back to bite him in the butt. For years after confiding to his closest friend Dandy—the foreman on his father’s cattle ranch in Fever, Texas and the true father figure in his life—Joshua had had to listen to the old man encourage and berate him for not following his heart with Keri Woods. Joshua has come to the family cabin after the recent death of Dandy, who’d made him promise to return to the cabin to “mend old regrets.” The last thing Joshua expects to find is the drop-dead beautiful woman he’d regretted abandoning a decade earlier naked in his bed. Unbeknownst to either of them, Dandy and Angela had schemed to make all of Joshua and Keri’s Christmas wishes come true.

5 stars! "An anthology filled with Christmas love… "Perfect Cadence" by Karen Wiesner: What could make a better story than a cabin and an old flame? Karen Wiesner is a talented author; I always look forward to her art. The six stories in CHRISTMAS WISHES are sure to be cherished favorites. Each story centers on Christmas and a wish or need. Pirri, Wiesner, Toombs, Woods, Carter and DeSmet make a formidable team of authors. Each brings their own unique perspective [to this Jewels of the Quill holiday collection]. While this anthology is filled with love, it is not all romance. Thank you, ladies, for another good read." ~reviewed by Debra Gaynor for ReviewYourBook.com http://www.reviewyourbook.com/review.cfm?reviewid=608 Read more reviews!

5 stars! ““In Cahoots With Cupid”: Karen Wiesner, you did it again! You made my heart swell and tears come to my eyes. “In Cahoots With Cupid” is a sweet story. Ki and Angela are both delightful characters. The reconciliation was heartwarming. The common factor in MAGICAL KISSES, A Jewels of the Quill Valentine's Day Anthology is romance and Valentine’s Day. I love it! This is one of the Jewels of the Quill’s best anthology. Ladies, please keep writing. Fans of romance, this is a must-read.” ~ReviewYourBook.com http://www.reviewyourbook.com/review.cfm?reviewid=1225

4 cups! "“Behind Amethyst Eyes” by Karen Wiesner: This is another sweet story of the underdog finding love when they feel they never will. A perfectly fit couple and great friends make this a feel good read. This collection of love stories all show different genres and many different sides to love and that love can be obtained even with the worst obstacles in place. Each author has shown their talent by adding their story to make up a selection that will leave you with a smile. Kudos to each Dame on another well compiled group of stories.” ~reviewed by Matilda for Coffee Time Romance & More http://www.coffeetimeromance.com Read reviews!

"Jordana's Chair" Soulful-eyed heartbreaker Dex Everett has been intrigued by his neighbor since she moved into his building a year ago--though, or perhaps because--she’s nothing like the made-up glamour girls he’s used to dating. Jordana DeSoto barely speaks English, has worn the same two handmade outfits in all the time he’s known her, and has never bothered with, nor needed, make-up. The few times he’s helped her carry furniture up to her apartment, he’s noticed that her living space is basically empty. No one he’s ever known could be content with so little simply because she earned it on her own or display such joy over a new chair. Jordana captures Dex the way no other woman ever has. Is this ladies’ man officially off the market? Read an excerpt! Read reviews!
