review 2: Fourteen Authors in one boxed set and all proceeds from the sale of A Sweet Life will be donated to the Diabetes Research Institute via Brenda Novak's Online Auction for Diabetes Research. An amazing collection of of novels and long novellas for an amazing price.I Only Have Eyes For You by Bella Andre (The Sullivans)The first I have read by this author. Sophie, the youngest Sullivan has loved Jake McCann since she was a child. Jake has never felt good enough for Sophie. Sophie takes a chance on one night, but can she convince Jake they belong together? I loved this story, and can't wait to read more!On A Night Like This by Barbara Freethy (Callways #1)Another new to me author that I can't wait to read more of. The Callways are an Irish family of (mostly) firefighters in San Francisco. Aiden Callway took a different path as a firefighter but is back in town after tragically losing his best friend. The loss is leading him to question his career choice and leadership abilities, as well as his memories of Kyle's death. Sara was the girl next door and his sister's best friend. Sara has her own problems to figure out and has come back to San Francisco to see her estranged father. Thrown back together, the two lean on each other to while they look for the answers they need.May Day! By Heather GrahamAnother first time read that I was a little lukewarm about. The story was good, but I felt a little like I missed something. Members of the Krewe of Hunters team plan a relaxing vacation to jolly old London for the English celebration--they never figured that a May Pole just might be murder.Shopping for a Billionaire by Julia KentA fun introduction to another author that had me laughing out loud at the situations Shannon got into or was surrounded by. Her friends/co-workers and her Mom provided additional comic relief. It made me think twice about trying to be a mystery shopper. I still can't believe Shannon met Declan..in the men's room.Built to Last by Susan MalleryI liked Marissa and Aaron. Both had tragedy in their lives, but Marissa channeled hers into the positive by giving back as much as she could. Aaron tried to hide from life, until Marissa decides he needs saving. Mallery does not disappoint with this wonderful read.A Baby of Her Own by Brenda NovakI have read most of Novak's Whiskey Creek series, and now it looks like I will have to look into more of her Dundee, Idaho series. Delaney is a 30-year-old virgin in the small town of Dundee. Prospects are slim, especially since she grew up with all the men. She wants a baby, and decides to take matters into her own hands, never expecting her one-night stand to show up in Dundee with plans to stay a while!Take Me, Cowboy by Jane PorterOf the 14 authors and stories in the set, this is the only one I have already read. It was an amazing read! After being jilted at the alter, the las person Jenny Wright wants to see is her high school crush and current hometown hero, bull riding champ Colton Thorpe. Colton rescues a damsel in distress, and he finds himself wanting to spend more time with Jenny.Dare to Love by Carly Phillips Riley Taylor is Ian Dare's half-brother's best friend, but sparks fly when they first meet. Ian has control and trust issues, as well as issues with his father's other family, so combined with Riley's trust issues, they have to work hard find their happily ever after. The characters were well written and extremely believable, but Ian was a little to dominant for me to really love this story.Executive Seduction by Jennifer ProbstAfter a betrayal by her father, Chandler Santell walked away from the corporate world and found peace and happiness opening a Yoga center. Unfortunately, to stay open, she needs Logan Grant to agree to give her Corporate employee stress relief program a shot. Logan, who worked hard and did whatever it took for his success, finds himself agreeing to give Chandler a chance. The two work hard to overcome their individual pasts to learn to love and trust each other. I loved both characters and enjoyed this story.In Too Deep by RaeAnne ThayneWill Tanner goes home to Wyoming to recover from a gun shot wound. Will lost his wife and unborn son when he refused to take a bribe, and was shot. During his search for revenge, he not only almost lost his life, but he lost his connection to his daughter. He takes a temporary job as sheriff filling in for a friend, marking time until he can go home and bring his wife's killer to justice. Andrea McPhee also ended up in Wyoming to recover. Instead of marking time, Andie has found a home and has embraced the small town, the people, and life in it as they have her. When Will's sister, who is Andie's best friend, decides he needs his own place, she convinces both that Andie's guesthouse would be the perfect solution. Andie and Will fight their attraction, as old hurts run deep. I found myself rooting for these two, with huge emotions wrung from me. A great read!Every Girl Does It by Rachel Van DykenA novella that was a quick read. Amanda turned down Preston's very public prom invitation. This embarrassed him and ultimately made her feel bad. So bad, that she ends up dating more odd guys than she would have. Four years later, she is involved in another embarrassing situation and runs into a very attractive fireman who knows her name. With some investigating, she finds out that, yep, Preston has grown up nicely. I had a hard time with these characters because (and maybe this is me) they were and acted too young to be looking at a future. I just couldn't wrap my head around it. It was well-written, just not for me.Homecoming Season by Susan WiggsUnspoken by Lauren HawkeyeSweet Memories by Steena HolmesWith such a variety of stories, there is something for everyone. For me, there were more hits than misses. This set is well worth the price, especially since all proceeds go to Diabetes Research! less
