Dream by the Fire: Winter Magic
Authors from Freya's Bower

Anthologies are really a nice way to get to know new authors and get to taste of the flavor of an author's work. This is a holiday collection of stories ranging from hot to mild. Something to satisfy everyone in this group of stories.

A Love Rewritten by Esmerelda Bishop--Ever wonder whatit would be like if the romance novel you were reading came to life? Well, I haven't but here it is. Our lucky heroine falls into a story unfolding that she has just read. It was cute, and fun, and short.

Mistletoe Magic by Lanie Fuller--Starts with a forbodeing note, a promise of danger.
Hannah dreams her husband Jacob was hit by a car. This was a sweet romance--and very enjoyable. The story held a certain amount of suspense and left the reader wondering what was going to happen, a good story overall.

High Maintenance by Jamie Hill--A Ski vacation is nearly ruined when Deidre gets in an accident and breaks her leg. Luckily a maintenace man comes to the rescue...It's lust at first sight--ok well they fall in love but you get the picture. A very sweet story and thoroughly enjoyable read.

Einmal nach a Modresnach by Emily Ryan-Davis--The title may be tough to pronounce but this was a great story. The senses come alive with the Christmas magic. This was an interesting tale wove with magic, and wonder and a promise for the future. Emily is a very talented writer and left me wanting more.

Labyrinth by Emma Wildes
Siren Publishing
73 Pages
$3.50

Adam has only been able to argue with Brittany despite his attraction to her It seems all they do is argue. He has kept his desire for her hidden for a long time now, but he is finding it harder and harder to ignore her seductive curves and when she sneaks into his tent one night and offers herself to him, he can't resist the sexy invitation.

Brittany is the daughter of a Viscount and on an archeologist dig to find the Minotaur's Labyrinth. She has some psychic abilities which have aided her father in finding ancient relics int he past and her visions give her a direction to find the Labyrinth as well.

This book was a perfect lunch time read, and although it was short, it was very satsfying. The dialogue was witty, the heat was so hot between the characters you could feel it. The plot was new and fresh, and the book kept my interest the entire way through it. I must read more of Emma Wildes work.

5 Stars
