Customer Reviews

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed everyone of these stories. The first story is about two elderly ladies trying to get their grandchildren together, and even though the attraction is strong, there's one problem, the handsome leading man in the story. Can he let go of the past to find true love? The second story is by one of my favorites, Brenda Jackson, and is also part of the Madrais series. Kimara has liked Kyle since her teenage years but he has never paid her any attention, will the help of a meddlesome grandfather and his will bring the two together? The last story is about a woman who even though named after the holiday (Valentine) does not believe in love, let alone love at first sight, until she meets handsome Eric Fitzgerald. Will Eric make her believe in love again?

This is Arabesque's best anthology collection!

If anyone wants to know how to put together a perfect anthology collection, I would point them to A Valentine's Kiss (and to Welcome to Leo's). The collection begins with a theme of matchmakers and adds three talented authors who crafted excellent stories. All three of the stories are keepers that readers will want to revisit again and again and again.

Mrs. Jackson does it again!

I may me bais because Brenda Jackson is my favorite author, but that means something. "A Valentime Kiss" is a great story about two people put in a compromising position where they are doing something for a bigger cause; where as, at first they would not think of doing something so out of this world. But love came make you do strange things! Kyle and Kimara are a fun couple to read about. I enjoy the reading a lot! If I was in Kimara shoes, I would not have thought twice about living out my dreams with my first crush! I highly recommend everyone who sees this book advertised to buy it, along with all of the other Brenda Jackson stories like the complete set of the Madaris Brothers stories, you will not regret it! Not to focus on this one author, the other two stories were very good also!

It's a 30 -- Three Perfect Tens!

Many themed novella collections are unevenly matched, but the three pieces in Arabesque's "A Valentine Kiss" each hold their own. Three of the line's best writers, Carla Fredd, Brenda Jackson and Felicia Mason, have contributed tales of well-meaning matchmakers aiming at their marks. It is a Valentine's Day collection that provides sweet reading throughout the year. Carla Fredd's "Matchmaker" takes place in the Georgia settings that have made her a favorite. It is the story of a Justin Valentio, a country sheriff, and Camille Johnson, an Atlanta professional, who are drawn together in a small Georgia town by their next-door neighbor grandmothers. Camille is immediately attracted to Justin who fights his attraction because his mother and ex-wife both found small-town life unappealing. In "Cupid's Bow," Kimara has loved Kyle Garwood since she was six and he was fourteen. Their parents were best friends who perished in a plane crash several years ago. When Kyle's grandfather's will stipulates that he will lose the family fortune unless he and Kimara marry and create an heir, the two become unwilling participants in an "arranged marriage." "Made in Heaven" is Felicia Mason's contribution to the collection. "Val" (Valentine) Summers doesn't believe in love at first sight, in romance or Valentine's Day -- despite the fact that her parent's were married Feb. 14 and she was born on the same date a year later. Her friends decide to help her loosen up by giving her a gift certificate for a dating service. Val's still not convinced and wants no part of it. Eric Fitzgerald is a professional matchmaker who believes in love at first sight, romance and Valentine's Day. He just doesn't believe in dating the "needy" women who have made him rich and successful. When Eric's partner introduces them, sparks fly. Eric knows that Val's the one and sets out to change her mind about love, romance and him.
