    About this ebook


    The Marriage Campaign by Karen Templeton

    Maid of Honour at her cousins' double wedding is as close as Blythe Broussard plans to get to tying the knot again. But Wes Phillips refuses to take 'I won't' for an answer. The widowed congressman is passionately campaigning for a date with the once–burned designer.

    Getting re–elected isn't as important as winning Blythe's trust and convincing the guarded beauty to take a shot at love...even if her scandalous past threatens to derail Wes's political future...

    His Valentine Bride by Cindy Kirk

    When Betsy McGregor lands a new job, she finds herself not only working for Ryan Harcourt, the handsome lawyer she's always loved, but also agreeing to play matchmaker...for each other!

    But the more time Ryan spends trying to find Betsy a match, the more he realises he really wants her for himself. Could true love have been right in front of him all along? If Ryan can ever get Betsy to admit her true feelings, they could be saying 'I do' this Valentine's Day!

    Cindy Kirk

    Jeanie has always loved to read and write. School years were spent sneaking romance novels into school when she should have been learning algebra and biology. College years were spent taking electives such as journalism and creative writing classes when she should have been taking algebra and biology. Nowadays, she's still reading and writing. She writes romances because she believes in happily-ever-afters. Not the "love conquers all" kind, but the "two people love each other, so they can conquer anything" kind. The commitment and monogamy of romance are strong values she's passing along to her daughters, who'll search for their own heroes someday. Jeanie's own romance hero is a very supportive guy, who reads fantasy and watches football and doesn't mind eating the same meal three nights in a row while she's writing. She spends her days caring for her family and her menagerie of strays, or being involved in any number of other family activities. She's got an enormous extended Italian family. Those who aren't related by blood have been adopted by love! And she writes: red-hot romances for the Harlequin Blaze series, romantic suspense for the Signature Select line and dark fantasies for Tor. Her books have earned accolades, including a Rendezvous Rosebud, Holt Medallion, CataRomance Reviewers' Choice Award, Readers and Booksellers' Best Laurie Award, National Readers' Choice Award and RT BOOKClub Reviewers' Choice Award. As far as Jeanie's concerned, she's blessed with the very best job in the world.

      4 STARSIts book 3 in Summer SistersThree cousins have inheirited thier grandmothers inn. They used to spend thier summers together at her house when they were growing up. They had lost contact for years. Now they are enjoying each other again.Blythe has helped her cousin decorate the inn she is opening. She is also helping too plan thier double wedding. Her 11 year old cousin Quinn best friend is Jack and lives just a few houses from her. Blythe sees something in Jack that reminded her of herself as a teenager full of anger. Blythe made some really bad choices trying to get her parents to notice her. She does not want Jack to go down the same path as her.Blythe was asked to help decorate Jack's room. It has stayed the same since his mom decorated it when he was six. With race car bed and all. Jack's mom died a few years ago and right after his dad won his first race as Maryland congressman. He was gone so much of the time. His grandparents moved into his house to help take care of him. Blythe tries to tell his dad that she is concerned about Wes. He asks her if she sees something he does not to please help his son.Right after that Blythe is taking her cousin Quinn home from Jack's and tells Blythe that she is worried about Jack. How he looses his temper for no reason. That she is his only friend now. Quinn wants Blythe to tell Jack's dad but not her mom. Quinn is afraid her mom won't let them be friends anymore.Blythe tries to share her past with Jack and let him know some of the stuff she did wrong to help him as she shows him that he is important. Jack sees how his dad is looking at Blythe and that makes him mad too.This book is dealing with tough issues and thier is not a fast fix. But as they open up and see that they are not alone and can help each other out. It makes me think I hope I did not mess my own kids up too bad. Because no one is a perfect parent or grandparent.Bad things happen to good people and everyone needs to cope in thier own way. Sharing can help.I liked the relationships that the cousins are working with eath other and not letting past mistakes keep them apart now. It is always fun to see characters that I have read about show up in other books.I was given this ebook to read and asked to give honest review when done by Netgalley.Published January 22nd 2013 by Harlequin 224pages ISBN:0373657242

      Excellent book. I really liked both Blythe and Wes and was rooting for them to get their happy ending. Blythe is helping her cousins plan their weddings and spending time with her youngest cousin, who is best friends with Wes's son Jack. Therefore, Wes and Blythe find themselves together fairly often. Wes doesn't see himself wanting to remarry any time soon as he and Jack are still grieving for his late wife. So he is surprised by his sudden attraction to Blythe, but that attraction grows stronger very quickly. Blythe was married once and it didn't turn out well. She has convinced herself that she will be quite happy as the "aunt" to her cousins' children, but realizes that it also means she is going to be rather lonely. Blythe also recognizes that Jack is having some serious issues because his dad's work as a congressman keeps him away from home a lot. She had problems of a similar kind when she was Jack's age and knows what kind of trouble it can lead to so she tries to help. But Jack also is resisting the idea that his father might be interested in a woman other than his mother and makes his unhappiness known. Wes is a terrific guy and really nice on top of that. He recognizes that he is falling hard for Blythe, but she is also resisting. She doesn't want to cause more problems for Jack, plus her problems as a teen could create problems for Wes's political career. I could see how she was sacrificing her happiness for what she saw was the greater good of Wes and Jack's lives, because she just didn't see herself as worth the hassle. I loved his persistence and how hard he worked to show Blythe that it was possible for them to be happy together. I loved the friendship between Quinn and Jack. She was understanding of his problems but also had no trouble telling him when he was being an idiot. They both seemed like pretty typical eleven year olds. I also liked the continuing story of the relationship between the three cousins and how they were always available for each other. I thought that the way that Wes finally convinced Blythe was great, especially how he figured out how to deal with her past. The epilogue was the perfect wrap-up.
