Confessions of a Secret Admirer: A Valentine's Day Anthology

CONFESSIONS OF A SECRET ADMIRER
A Valentine's Day Anthology
Candis Terry, Jennifer Ryan & Jennifer Seasons
Released February 4th, 2014
Avon Impulse

Some secrets are meant to be revealed …

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.

Waiting for You by Jennifer Ryan

Rancher Grant Devane has waited for Taylor Larson’s return to Fallbrook for more than ten years. Now that the fearless beauty has come home on her terms, he’ll do anything and everything necessary to win back her heart.

Sweet Fortune by Candis Terry

Sarah Randall is tired of being invisible to the opposite sex. So when a leap of faith sends her to Sweet, Texas, and into the path of ridiculously hot Deputy Brady Bennett, she’s determined to catch his eye … even if it means staying hidden just a little bit longer.

Major League Crush by Jennifer Seasons

Professional baseball player Drake Paulson can’t help wanting to know more about his cute, shy neighbor. But when he discovers her deepest secret and she flees, it’ll be up to him to win her trust—and her love—one gift at a time.

You know when you get an Anthology you might get one good story of the bunch...Well... So not the case here...For ONLY $1.99, you are getting THREE Sweet, Funny and Heart-Warming Romances that will leave you light-hearted and smiling long after you have read the last page.  We are talking Three Sexy, Sometime Moody, Sometimes Broody Heroes, with hearts of gold, and some sassy, "I'm gonna get my man" heroines.

In WAITING FOR YOU by Jennifer Ryan, we get a Second Chance Romance that will steal your heart, and I was thrilled that it was an introduction to Jennifer's New Series, The McBrides (can we say SQUEE).  Grant and Taylor have some unresolved issues from their one night together, and if might just take that special "love" in the air to finally get these two  together after all the years they were apart!  Emotional, and Sweet...you might need a tissue on hand!

In SWEET FORTUNE, Sarah Randall, our shy little Sarah is coming out of her shell, and if you can go big...go home...right?  Well, she is going for the biggest Bachelor in town, Deputy Brady Bennett (OH MOMMA), and once she sets her mind to something, well, let's just say she has a very "creative" way to show the man she wants, that she cares!!  If you haven't read Candis Terry's Sweet Texas Series, well, ya need to do that now, but you will understand that SWEET FORTUNE is just another Fabulous addition to the series, and you will be laughing, swooning and maybe a bit of panting...waiting for these two to get together!!  Valentine's Day has never been hotter (than Deputy Bennett)!!

In MAJOR LEAGUE CRUSH by Jennifer Seasons, one of my favorite secondary characters from the Diamonds and Dugouts Series, Drake Paulson, finally meets his match in his "not quite his typical type" neighbor Bertie.  She is short, wears glasses and has a snarky attitude, but little does he know, she has been crushing on him for years.  Drake just might be in for the most important inning with Bertie, and it will take a lot of convincing to get her to convince her that he is the "Real" Deal!!  Loved it!!

Includes Books 1, 2 & 3.5
LET LOVE IN, LET LOVE STAY, LET LOVE SHINE
Melissa Collins
Released February 10th, 2014

Madeleine Becker and Reid Connely both come from a world of pain. Despite their best efforts at guarding their hearts, love finds its way into their lives. Ever the bad boy, Reid walks away when things get too difficult. Coming face to face with the horrors of his past only helps to strengthen the bond that he has created with Maddy, and together they learn how to embrace the love they’ve created. Follow Maddy and Reid on their journey where they learn how to let love in so that it can stay and shine forever.
Let Love In (Love #1)
What would happen if you lost everything? If the people who were supposed to love you unconditionally were no longer there for you, how would your world change? 
Madeleine Becker lost everything when her parents died when she was ten years old. Ripped from her home and everything that she has ever loved, she is forced to start all over again. The only way for her to move on is to build walls around her heart and keep everyone at a safe distance. Her logic: she can't get hurt if she doesn't fall in love. 
That theory is blown to pieces when she meets Reid Connely during her freshman year at college. He is gorgeous and darkly mysterious. He understands Maddy's pain all too well, but sharing his pain would mean breaking down the walls he put up around his own heart. Conflicted between loving Maddy and hiding his dark past, Reid starts to reevaluate his world. Maddy's inner strength, snarky personality and breath taking beauty help Reid to make peace with his past. 
Together they find out what happens when they let love in
 
Let Love Stay (Love #2)
If you’re lucky, you’ll fall in love – truly, madly and deeply in love. But what happens when that honest and pure love isn’t enough to erase your fears? What happens when your past rears its ugly head and threatens your future?
Maddy and Reid had that kind of love – the all-encompassing, Earth shattering, once in a lifetime kind of love. Then life happened. Old wounds that were thought to be long healed and scabbed over are ripped opened and they are forced to face the possibility that, maybe, they are not strong enough to fight their demons and embrace the light.
Together, they found out what love is, but now they will each need to heal on their own before they can ever be together again. They must face their fears and beat down their pasts in order to find their way through this crazy uphill battle called love.
They’ve let love in, but now, they need to find out how to Let Love Stay.
 
Let Love Shine (Love #3.5)
What comes after “they lived happily ever after?”
Maddy and Reid have seen their fair share of trials and tribulations, of love and loss. Facing down the biggest challenges of their young lives, they managed to survive and endure. With the future stretching out before them, they must learn to navigate new and unfamiliar paths. 
Being new parents, starting new jobs, and continuing college is enough to overwhelm any couple. New challenges come up daily, as do small victories. Watch Maddy and Reid grow stronger together in this “one year later” tale of the everyday stuff that happens in real life. 
With a solid foundation of love under their inexperienced feet – and with the help of their family and friends – Maddy and Reid learn how to let love shine, lighting the way for a beautiful future to come.

Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.

After a string of box office duds, he signs on as a client to Whitmore and Creighton, a PR firm, determined to make a comeback.

KC Montgomery was eleven when she met the love of her life. Of course, seventeen-year-old Drake Gentry didn’t know she existed, but that didn’t stop her girlish fantasies from growing and changing over the years.

Now, after enjoying a front-row seat to his breakup with his latest girlfriend, she’s been handed an all-grown-up fantasy come true—two weeks at the Sand Castle Resort. With him.

Drake most definitely noticed KC a long time ago, but the timing’s never been right. Now that he’s facing a lonely vacation that was supposed to be for two, it seems only natural to accept KC’s offer to fill in. And as far as her terms go… No strings. No expectations. No holds barred. Drake is no fool—he’s all over it.

But once they’re back in Texas there are invisible strings still hanging between them. Strings labeled attraction, affection…even love. And the more they try to untangle the knots, the tighter they’re bound together.

Warning: Beware of sunburns, whirlpool sex and sand in delicate places.


~~~~~

Sweet and Sassy are two words that come to mind after reading TEXAS FANDANGO, Book Three in the Texas Montgomery Mavericks Series, which I think I will have to go back and read the full series, cause I am LOVIN some of the secondary characters that I have met, and I think I will be needin to be in the "know" about their love lives!!

KC knows what she wants (or has wanted for years) and she is finally taking a chance on getting it, which means almost throwing herself at Drake, until he gets it through his thick skull that she has been in love with him for years.  Drake, on the other hand, always thought KC was gorgeous, but her cousin had warned him off years ago, but that doesn't count anymore once KC offers herself for some Sun, Surf and Sex...Now what guy would turn that down?

It's only when they arrive back in town that things get confusing, and with neither knowing how the other feels, things kinda go BUST!  I recommend you read this fabulous novella to find out if these two can get their acts together long enough to find a love of a lifetime together. 

This was my first romance by Cynthia D'Alba, but I know for sure it won't be my last!!

Sexy, gifted, and loyal, PI Jacob Decker is a tall, cool drink of perfection who had Emmanuelle Holmes at "hello." His relationship with Emme's best friend kept them apart for years, but things have changed. Now that a case has brought him to Gnaw Bone, Colorado, the road is wide open for Emme and Deck to explore something hotter and deeper than Emme dreamed possible. So why is she sabotaging the best thing that's ever happened to her?

It isn't easy to catch Deck off guard, but Emme does just that when she walks back into his life after nine long years. The curvy brunette had her charms back in the day, but now she's a bona fide knockout . . . and she wants to rekindle their friendship. Deck, however, wants more. Emme's always been the one; she excites Deck's body and mind like no other woman can. But a dark chapter from Emme's past overshadows their future together. Now only Deck can help her turn the page-if she'll let him . . .


~~~~~


Yes, I have certainly been curious to know who would end up with the sexy and elusive, Deck, who has a large part in BREATHE, Book Four of the series.  Now, Tate has been my love from the moment we met, BUT, Deck is everything that I love in a hero...he LOVES with his whole heart, is interested in having this one woman in his life and not letting her go, and he is Intelligent, and Sexy...come on....those are some great qualities.

As for Emme, I LOVED her as a heroine, and as the one to grab Deck's heart, even if he didn't know he had wanted it from the first moment they met.  They have a long history and from the moment they see each other again, there is INSTA-CHEMISTRY, and I loved every moment from that scene on!

Emme is tough, she is independent and she isn't used to having to consider anyone before making plans, so her and Deck certainly have much to work out, and she had a traumatic experience when she was a teen, which changed who she grew to be, without her being aware of the huge change.  It takes a wonderful man like Deck to open those doors and windows for Emme to heal.

This is less of a mystery and more of a romance, but I LOVED every moment!!  And as always, Krystal CRACKS ME UP!!!

Samantha Lane wanted to resign from her father's accounting practice and move to another state to follow her dream of establishing a catering business. But she didn't want to break her parents' hearts. When her cousin jokingly suggested to tell them that a man was the reason behind her decision, she found the perfect excuse to give her hopeless romantic folks.
Adam Craig didn't mind playing the role of Sam's fake boyfriend. She was a friend in need and he was a helpful guy.  Besides, he was desperate to show a clingy ex that they were truly over, and Sam acting as his girlfriend was the perfect solution.
When their pretense became all too real, a spanner in the works put their future together in jeopardy. How could Sam trust Adam when she had proof he wasn't ready to move on? And how could Adam convince Sam of his feelings when she was intent on moving away from him?

About Miranda

Ever since I was a young teenager, I have loved reading romance novels. My auntie used to send me boxes of her books and I would devour them one after another.
Every so often, I would read a mystery or a suspense or a paranormal novel as I love those genres too. But romance is still my favourite. :)
For many years, I wrote technical and non-fiction materials for professional use and had only dreamt about writing a novel. Then, one day, after a period of binge-reading sexy romances, I decided to sit in front of my computer and start writing my first fiction book. The result? My debut novel Will To Love, the first in the hot and sexy Lifestyle by Design series. After that, I knew that I would love to tell more beautiful love stories through my books.
I live in Sydney, Australia with my amazing husband who lovingly cheers me on in my journey as a novelist.
