Terrific Anthology - Something for Everyone

Take fifteen incredibly gifted authors, give them a promising premise to base a story upon and you will get a bountiful tome with just as many remarkable magically induced stories to savor and enjoy. Anything can happen when you make a wish upon a `blue moon' and the results can be spectacular! Check them out for yourself. Belle of the Blue Moon Ball - Dawn Thompson - Best selling author Thompson delights fans with a regency set ballroom, two made for one another soul mates who'd never met, and two determined fairies - Oberon and the dubious bungling Puck, who make falling in love under a blue moon a total delight! Where the Sea Meets Skye - Erin E. M. Hatton - When Celine Terreau, a marine biologist met Ronan Morrison while on vacation on the Isle of Skye he was able to lay to rest the betrayal of an old boyfriend and open up a whole new world of possibilities for a new life filled with magical possibilities! Angels In the Moonlight - Diane Davis White - Somewhere over the rainbow Sadie, the Shady Angel is up to her old antics with delightful results when she and her mentor Pricilla help musician Nathan and singer Olivia make beautiful music together. Delightful! Under the Pale Moonlight - Katherine Smith - Alicia McCray had fallen in love with Arthur Cameron as a young girl. Now as a woman she knew he loved her, but she knew that drastic measures were needed to convince him that his handicap could not alter her love as much as it was crippling his thinking. Sweetly satisfying! Ember's Desire - Meagan Hatfield - Ember Galenorn's greatest desire was to leave Wychwood, but so far the inept witch had yet to cast a spell that worked, although this last one brought her a naked male. Perhaps one final wish on a blue moon might help him to remain the desire in her heart she truly longed for. Adorable characterizations and sexy! Spellbound - Aysel Arwen - Emma MacPherson had felt lost and alone for a long time; more so now that her parents had died. Losing her mothers ring would have been devastating which was why she was searching the shores of Loch Ness in the middle of the night to find it. When Alex Grant came along and blessedly helped her find the ring, she had no idea that repaying him for the favor would bring her the one thing she'd been searching for all her life - an everlasting love. - Sensual and breathtakingly lovely! Enchantment By the Sea - M. J. Sager - Clara Barnes had heard all the big come-ons before and been burnt badly. No matter how good Grayson Everett looked she was not about to make that mistake again, but one night when the blue moon shone bright over the sea, she let her guard down. Would this be another mistake or the heartfelt wish of a lifetime. Oooh so very sensual! Suddenly You - Jaquelin Lorin -- When art restorer Celine Chauvin made a wish of knowing `who' the gorgeous man in the portrait she'd been restoring was, she had no idea that wish would land her 130 years in the past and face to face w

It's An Amazing Book!

"Belle of the Blue Moon Ball" by Dawn Thompson--Lady Arabella Gilmartin is in need of a husband, or she will have to consider herself on the shelf at nineteen, after her third season no less! The Earl of Everton is home after a long service to king and country and though he detests formal gatherings, he is in need of settling down. Indeed, he is in want of a wife! When it appears all else is trying to keep them apart, the mischievous nature spirit, Puck, and the king of the faeries, Oberon, will make sure the young lovers unite.--A witty romp of a read full of mishaps and well-meaning blunders on the part of Puck. Author Thompson, brilliant writer of The Waterlord and The Ravencliffe Bride, brings readers another tale of love found under the influence of magic's fae touch. "Where Sea Meets Sky" by Erin E. M. Hatton--Celine mourns a life she thought would be perfect. With the hope of a brilliant career and a true lasting love dashed, she flies to Scotland to study the seals native to the Isle of Skye. There she meets the mysterious Ronan, a stranger whom she feels more for than anyone she's ever known. When he tells her magical tales of a mythical race, she is enraptured by the possibilities she hears in his alluring voice. When she learns of Ronan's true nature, will she have the strength to set him free?--Author Hatton pens a fascinating tale of mythical love that dares to breach the barriers of reality. A haunting accomplishment of love story! "Angels in the Moonlight" by Diane Davis White--Sadie the Shady Angel is back! She and her prissy instructor are back to ensure musicians Nathan and Olivia realize the full potential of their relationship. Nathan can barely resist the sensual enchantment his band's lead singer holds over him, but he's been burned before and he's not taking any chances on love. Olivia is torn by his aloofness and tries to stomach one more gig with the cold man before cutting out for good. Will their wishes to the blue moon be enough to push them together, or will their doubts forever keep them apart?--Sadie is always a force to be reckoned with, and this time's no exception! Author White's signature character is back in shades of less than pure white and it's just as wild a romp as her first story, "Sadie the Shady Angel", found in No Law Against Love anthology. "Under the Pale Moonlight" by Katherine Smith--Arthur Cameron is at peace with his physical limitations--or is he? The beautiful and young Alicia McCray longs to catch the handsome man's eye, and has for years. Will yet another yearly visit to his estate finally be the one where he confesses his true feelings? The spirited lass is tired of longing for him and takes matters into her own hands. Will the handsome horse trainer overcome the limitations he's set for his heart?--Author Smith has written a poignant tale of bittersweet love, the kind that overcomes the boundaries set by crippling fears.
