Description de l’éditeur
A knowing wink. . .a smile that tugs at the heartstrings. . .a mind-blowing kiss. In this unforgettable collection of stories, four women have a second chance to rekindle an old spark. . .
The Apple Orchard by Cathy Lamb
When an injury lands Allie Pelletier in the emergency room, she comes face-to-face with the only man she's ever truly loved--Dr. Jace Rios. But can Jace also mend their wounded past and show Allie they're destined to be together?
A Kiss Before Midnight by Mary Carter
Rebecca Ryan has never forgotten the magical night she spent in New Orleans with musician Grant Dodge. Now twenty years later, Rebecca is reunited with Grant. Their attraction is as electric as ever--and they have more to catch up on than either imagined. . .
Romeo & Juliet. . .And Jane by Elizabeth Bass
When veterinarian Jane Canfield's first love, Roy McGillum, returns to town, memories of their high school performance as Romeo and Juliet--and their real-life romance--come rushing back. And when Roy shows up at Jane's window, she'll have to decide if it's time for an encore. . .
The Devil And Mr. Chocolate by Janet Dailey
Art gallery owner Kitty Hamilton is newly engaged to a delicious Belgian chocolatier. But her artist ex-husband, Sebastian, is determined to sabotage her plans with an even more tempting indulgence--the irresistible chemistry they still share.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This unrewarding collection of "lost love" contemporary romance novellas manages to depress more than excite. Lamb's "The Apple Orchard," about a traumatized woman coming to terms with her past so she can reunite with an old flame, has a compelling voice but ignores the uncomfortable similarities between the heroine's abusive father and her love interest. Bass's "Romeo & Juliet... and Jane," in which high-school opposites drift back together after years apart, shows the charm of small-town life but squanders the romance on a self-absorbed hero who doesn't really know the veterinarian heroine. Dailey's "The Devil and Mr. Chocolate" features a lightweight rekindling of shallow feelings between a repellent art dealer and her artist ex-husband. The best by far is Carter's "A Kiss Before Midnight," a charming story of magic and music in New Orleans, but even this fun and funny read has the same disturbing sexual consent issues that sour the rest of the collection.
