Fresh Fiction Review

It Happened One Season

Readers were asked what they would like to read from these four authors, voted, and the plot was created. So what happens when you take a second son who has returned from war and is asked to uphold family duty by providing an heir and a woman who is unattractive and shy? You get stories that will make you smile, laugh and sigh. The Seduction of Sebastian Trantor by Stephanie Laurens, Only Love by Mary Balogh, Hope Springs Eternal by Jacquie D'Alessandro, and Fate Strikes a Bargain by Candice Hern have only one thing in common, the plot, but each is its own story with different characters finding love. When these four amazing authors did this for the first time with It Happened One Night I never thought they would try to trump it and do it again but they did with this smash hit, IT HAPPENED ONE SEASON. Every story is its own but in one book. Short stories make it go so fast that before you know it you have turned the last page and are wanting more. I enjoy the fact that the women, all though they are strong, are still not ones that every man chases after which makes them feel they are unattractive and unwanted. And then there are the men each has their own demons but are strong and can look past what is on the outside and see what is beneath the skin and find that even though they did not intend to fall in love they do. I would suggest this book to anyone who wants to read how these wonderful ladies manage to take their tales in different directions but remain within the guidelines set for them.

SUMMARY

We asked our readers what story they would most like to see from four bestselling authors. They responded... A handsome hero returns from war, battle-scarred and world-weary. But family duty calls and he must find a bride. A young lady facing yet another season without a suitor never expects to find herself the object of his affections. Stephanie Laurens, Mary Balogh, Jacquie D'Allesandro and Candice Hern have come together to create one of the most unforgettable events of the year. The results are spectacular -- each story is as unique as a lover's first kiss.
