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

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!
5 Wings! “In this sixth edition of these wondrous tales, the Dames deliver again. Eight tales of love and romance that are as diverse in their sub-genres and subjects as their writers are. They weave the tales and pull you in to keep you reading each line. Each story is as riveting as the last and each tale delivers on the romance promise in a delightful and sweet way that sends you looking for more by each of the authors. Jordana’s Chair by Karen Wiesner (Dame Amethyst): In this latest installment of her Kaleidoscope Series, Dame Amethyst delivers yet again. She shows us how, once again, love can break down barriers from childhood and heal wounds once thought too deep to heal. Dex Everett is a wealthy playboy, at least that is what everyone thinks. In reality he is a man searching for his soul. He knows what he wants, and having been married once before, he knows what he doesn’t want, except he seems to keep getting the women he doesn’t want as he keeps discarding one socialite for another. But his new neighbor is nothing like what he usually dates, in looks or social status, and yet he can’t get her out of his mind. Jordana DeSoto is a young woman with a haunted past. A young life spent on the streets of Chicago with her family and a father with his fair share of Latino pride, has sent her to always fearing ending up back there. She celebrates each year since her family’s death that she has survived on her own by acquiring something new. The first year was getting her apartment, with the added bonus of having Dex across the hall, someone to dream about but never touch. On this, her second year of independence, she finishes paying off her new chair--a chaise type chair that she can curl up in--with just her tips, her take home money that she doesn’t use on food and rent, and which goes into a suitcase for an emergency. Can Dex break through the barriers she has built to keep herself safe? Can he accept the one dark stain on her soul that she fears makes her unclean for love? Can Jordana accept the love that Dex is offering to her? Can she let go of the fear of planning for the future and open her ear to the bright one that Dex offers? It is a very wonderful story, one that this reviewer empathized with easily, and felt that Ms. Wiesner truly was able to convey the fears and scars that the homeless live with every day for the rest of their lies. All of these stories are a wonderful trip through the hearts of eight wonderful couples that will make your emotions soar. I give this book and the Dames that contributed to it a solid 5 wings. Loved it completely, can’t wait till the next anthology.” Melissa for Classic Romance Revival http://www.classicromancerevival.com/blog/?p=1485 Read reviews!
