Good, but not great

I think the reason I was not wowed by these storeies is because I habe read other stories by these authors that were better. The first story felt like it wasleading up to another story. It left questions unanwsered. The two main characters were believeable, but not very round. I wanted to know more, but did not get it. The second story was my favorite. I could just imagine what Maggie was going through, and it was great. The third story was interesting. The animosity that was to be there well was not. So when the characters got together is was not as much of a suprise. But the Charlie character was great, you really did dislike him.

Excellent holiday romance

TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT Donna Kauffman Emma Lafferty agrees to house sit and pet sit for an eccentric billionaire over the holidays, knowing the pay and references it would generate would be a hefty boost to her new pet sitting business. When she arrives at his country home in the middle of an ice storm, the last thing she expects to find is the gorgeous great-grandson of the CEO, and although she doesn't quite believe the story he's telling about why he's there, she finds his charm irresistible. Trevor Hamilton knew his great-uncle was going out of the country for two weeks and was certain he could pay off whoever had been hired to pet sit so he could search the mansion for clues to a family secret - a secret that has eaten at him for several years. It immediately becomes clear that Emma isn't budging. It isn't long before Trevor is totally captivated by Emma and he finds himself questioning the importance of the supposed family secret in comparison to his desire to build a relationship with Emma. Emma and Trevor are absolutely charming together, despite a slightly rocky start. The sparks fly immediately, although they're a little hesitant to trust each other. Trevor's questions and doubts about his place in his family is heartening, as is Emma's gentle persuasion for him to do whatever is necessary to ease his mind and allow him to find the peace he has desperately wanted for several years.
