Matchmaker by Carla Fredd Camille and Justine's grandmothers were a hoot and added enormous intriguing moments to the storyline.
Cupid's Bow by Brenda Jackson The attraction between Kimara and Kyle was steamy. I thought the author did a magnificent job building on their chemistry to make their love making sizzling hot and is also part of the Madrais series that I will have to get my hands on.
Made in Heaven by Felicia Mason A heart-warming, comical story that will keep you glued to your seat.
This collection of stories was well written and had some wonderfully romantic, tender filled moments that will definitely put you in the mood for Valentine's Day. Each story within A Valentine Kiss was unique, yet different, and they all focused on the special day that was made for lovers. These are three talented authors who crafted excellent stories.
Cupid's Bow was a nice, short, and sweet love story about Kyle and Kimara Garwood. I expected the story to be longer and although it was short, it did reveal how their love came to be. The essence of the story focused trust, understanding, and patience. Great read!
Three novellas three authors and continuous romance the heated kind that lingers and captures your heart like a vise and doesn’t let go. My favorite of the three and not because Brenda wrote it was Cupid’s Bow. It was the wishes of a grandfather who knew what was best for everybody involved! Loved the stories ❤️
