Customer Reviews

Great read!

Having always read novels by one author, I found it intriguing to read short stories by several different authors. The plots are simple and fast-moving. I loved this book. Each one of the four stories were well-written and intriguing. My favorite was the one with the IRS man (sorry, forgot which author!). Anyways, I couldn't put it down!

Wow what a come back!

This a story of the happenings in a beauty shop. Formally known as Rosie's Curl and Weave and known as Della's house of Style now that Della is the owner.All of the stories were a page turner and very good read. This is a book where you could relax and enjoy the goings on in a beauty shop. You can't help but to think that you are right there with them and waiting to see what happens and who will be next to find love.Excellant book, can't wait until the next issue comes out. Good jobs ladies.

Fantastic!

As an advid fan of the romance genre, and having read over 270+ romance books I can honestly say you learn the writing skills of many authors. These four, which I have read all of their published work, still remain as some of the best writers in their field. Even in an anthology, which are short stories at that, they still maintain to hold your interest. Well, Rochelle, Donna, Francis and Felicia, you did it once again, came back after Rosie's Curl and Weaves to give us another winner. Congratulations to all of you! All four stories were outstanding: Donna Hill who presents us with a story about the owner and the tax man..WOW I enjoyed this one. The plot itself, about the taxes, well that is a story that leaves you wondering about the IRS? Read it and when you finish you'll see what I mean.Francis Ray - well, I loved it! For those who read Francis's story in Rosie, you'll see some folks you remember from before. The story ended making me wonder, is Shelton next? Rochelle Alers - this author put me on notice it had to do with a widow and being one myself, this was my favorite story. I truly loved the development of the relationship between Maria and Cameron. The story touched me as it was eloquently done so well. Thanks Rochelle!Felicia Mason - Enjoyed this one likewise, and the message it offers to us. You defintely have no control over who you fall in love with and in this case the story was done so well showing us.Well ladies, we look forward to many more anthologies by all of you! Thanks again for Della's House of Style.

Love It!!!

As soon as I knew that there was a sequel to Rosie's, I knew that there would be another good read. How many of you out there after reading Rosie's and Della's make you want to run to the nearest beauty salon or spa for the works??? Or at least wished you did? These books do. I really like how Della dealt with the IRS and kept her shop. One great read. Get it and feel yourself in her salon.

A Great Follow-Up to Rosies

Four very talented and well know authors come to us again in the follow-up to Rosie's Curl & Weave.Della's House of Style was a great treat. The four stories were well written.Donna Hill's It Could Happen to You was excellent. I really liked Della finding a Love of Her Own. I was glad to see a soft side to the hero in this story. Della just seemed to bring out the best in him. Ms. Hill is a thorough writer and gave us a wonderful story.Francis Ray's story A Matter of Trust was warm and very sincere. I liked the characters of Hope and Sebastian. Hope's son and landlord really rounded out the story.Rochelle Alers' story Sweet Surrender was touching. Maria Parker a very young widow was afraid to love. She meets Mr. Cameron King, a man that looks tough on the outside, but is a sweet person once you get to know him. Felicia Mason's story Truly, Honestly was great also. I think it shows you don't always choose who you fall in love with, sometimes it just happens. No matter where you come from and what you do in life, love should be the most important.Each story held its own, but together they made a wonderful novel all surrounding Della's House of Style. Great job ladies!
