review 1: This book is an anthology of stories written about a town in Colorado that goes all out to celebrate First Night. The first story is a rekindling of a friendship. We meet a woman who has returned 'home' seeking to make a better life for her children after the death of her husband has left them in dire straights. The second story is about a woman who writes children's books and is involved with getting a new illustrator for her stories. The male illustrator has twin daughters and no interest in another romance. He's been affected by the unforeseen circumstances surrounding the death of his wife. His daughters have other ideas, as they feel he needs a girlfriend. The woman is not sure about a relationship with the man. The last story is about a young woman, affected by the a... morections of her father, and the man who she is indebted to as he was her father's boss. They had a kiss at midnight on the previous year's New Year's Eve celebration and now he wants more but she feels she's not worthy of him. His niece has other ideas and tries to get them together so the sparks can fly.
review 2: Meh. I think these stories had some potential, but none of them even came close to living up to it. There was way too much silliness on all three heroine's parts for me to overlook, and in all three the problems that had to be overcome in order to get to the HEA seemed to have been solved with the wave of a magic wand. Or perhaps a sprinkle of fairy dust. Either way, they were all fixed way too quickly and without any substantial effort or reasons behind them. less
