Waiting for You by Jennifer Ryan introduces Taylor, back in
town and meeting a guy she last saw - and dated - in high
school. Seth has his five-year-old daughter with him and
they exchange polite remarks as the little girl chatters
about wanting to be a snow princess. Christmas isn't long
past, and Colorado is pretty cold. Taylor once had a fling
with Grant, Seth's capable older brother, and she hoped
more would come of it but Grant wasn't interested. He had
a ranch to run from the age of fourteen. Now, though, Grant
is still single, and there's a Valentine's Day dance coming
up. Asking Taylor to go would be just neighbourly of him
wouldn't it?
Sweet Fortune by Candis Terry shows Sarah Randall eating
alone in a Chinese restaurant, when a fortune cookie
changes matters. 'If opportunity doesn't knock, build a
door.' Yes, maybe it's time to go get her man. She
worked on a TV makeover show as production assistant, but a
small Texas town offered other opportunities. It might be
only diner work today, but the people are genuine and
friendly. Like Deputy Brady Bennet, who makes her heart
beat a little faster. From playing pool to dirt bikes, she
has a lot to learn about life around this man.
Major League Crush by Jennifer Seasons shows Roberta, or
Bertie, who is cynical about Valentine's Day. She writes a
newspaper comic strip about a socially awkward girl in the
big city and she has to go to a date evening. The one guy
she secretly has a crush on shows up at her door and asks
if they're going to the same party, and would she object to
going with him if so? Drake just doesn't want friends
trying to set him up with Valentine dates. Seems
reasonable. I did find it hard to believe that Drake has
been living opposite Bertie for two years and says he finds
her interesting, yet he's never asked her what she does for
a living.
Overall there is a lot of variety in CONFESSIONS OF A
SECRET ADMIRER and each story does explore the bedroom, in
a modern look at attraction and steamy seduction between
interesting people with busy lives. This should suit those
who like romance reads in novella length and the tales may
prompt you to explore these authors' other works.
Or so you’ll discover, in three sexy, unforgettable
Valentine’s Day stories from New York Times & USA Today
bestselling author Jennifer Ryan and contemporary romance
stars Candis Terry and Jennifer Seasons.
