Customer Reviews

I love Debbie's writing.

Debbie Macomber writes of people and their lives in such a way that, after reading her books, it feels like you know these people, their dreams, their families and all about them. Wonderful reading!

Another good book to read

Even though it has several stories in it by different authors, it is a good book to read. Each author writes in a similar manner to Ms. Macomber, making for an easy flow of each story. Entertaining.

Four Great Stories

Loved this collection of short romantic tales by four different authors. It was kind of like trying out samples at the grocery story, a taste of something sweet and delicious that left you wanting more. My schedule is pretty full right now, so it was nice to be able to pick up this book and actually sit down and finish a story in one or two sittings. I also liked the way the authors jumped right into each plot and kept it moving. This would be a good book for people who are short on time and like happy endings.

Great story by Cathy Lamb, previous run book by Debbie Macomber

This anthology boosts a 1996 novella from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Debbie Macomber, but the other three lesser known authors have brand new never released stories in the book. While all of the stort stories are great romantic stories, the first story in the book, Whale Island by Cathy Lamb was just outstanding. The author's wit and charm came through in flying colors throughout the story. The story was written in the first person, which I generally don't like that much, but the author was well versed and made the text flow. I couldn't put the story down. I found the hero and heroine so true to life characters I could easily picture their romance happening and the two sticking together forever. The other three stories were equally interesting and fun to read. There were heartwarming romantic stories that you don't get to read often enough these days. Judy Duarte's Queen of Hearts, was a little slow to get into at first, but I simply enjoyed the way Judy wove the letters from the advice columnist's readers into the fabric of the story that soon I was engrossed in the story and couldn't put it down until the very end. The Honeymoon House featured two sets of friends that just knocked my socks off. I just loved Kate's friend Amanda and her relationship with her on again-off again fiance, as well as Kate's relationship with Andy. Debbie Macomber has long been a favorite of mine. Her inspirational stories full the need for any romantic at heart. I liked the fact that the lead heroine, Katie, has a conscious and worries for the bride-to-be, even as she gets carried away with the moment, with the groom. Delightful stories every one, I think that the traditional romance novel lovers will like this collection of stories.
