It Just Might Take a Christmas Miracle...

All She Wants for Christmas (The Kent Brothers Book One)
Country singer Riley Jensen would never have returned to her small Missouri hometown if her publicist hadn't come up with the scheme to tape a Christmas special there. So she never would have known that the man who broke her heart at eighteen was now a widower with a seven-year-old daughter. Riley has ten years of angst-filled hit songs and Grammy Awards to prove she doesn't need Ethan Kent. But suddenly, she can't help thinking of all she gave up by running away...

A Rare Gift (The Kent Brothers Book Two)
With a disastrous marriage behind him, Wyatt Kent has no interest in getting involved with any woman, let alone his ex-wife's younger sister. But when Calliope Andrews hires him to build an addition onto her day care center, Wyatt can't help but notice her. But it's going to take a Christmas miracle for Wyatt to put his trust in love a second time.

The Best Thing (The Kent Brothers Book Three)
A year ago, Tori let her guard down and Brody Kent slipped right in, planting one hot, unforgettable kiss on her in a dark corner at the company Christmas party. Though the kiss surpassed her wildest dreams, she can't let it happen again--Brody's got a reputation for loving and leaving. And he'll have to get creative if he wants to convince Tori that he's a changed man.

 Disclaimer: I received a copy of this trilogy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Ahhh, this was so much fun. I love having little stories like this together in a bundle. You get to move from one brother to another, which means cameos from previous couples and one helluva lovely story all together.

I think the first story was my favorite, with Riley & Ethan. High school sweethearts, broken up by a jealous friend, and yet in the end, it is all about forgiveness and love.

From there, we got Wyatt's story. Married to the wrong woman, bitter after a divorce, and then he finds love with his ex wife's sister who ultimately brings them back together with closure while keeping Wyatt.

And finally, Brody. Brody is the manwhore. The one with the reputation. Sparks constantly fly between him and the Kent brothers' office manager, Tori. Until Brody kisses Tori at the Christmas party and screws everything up...but it sets off the chain of events to see if they're perfect for one another.

Christmas is coming and this set is perfect for the romance lover in your life. Sweet romances, sexy leads, and happily ever afters! Merry Christmas!

Emmaline Neal needs a date. Just a date—someone to help her get through her ex-fiancé's wedding without losing her mind. But pickings are slim in Manningsport, New York, population 715. In fact, there's really only one option: local heartthrob Jack Holland. Everyone loves Jack, and he won't get the wrong idea…. After all, Jack Holland would never actually be interested in a woman like Em. Especially not with his beautiful ex-wife creeping around, angling to reunite ever since he rescued a group of teens and became a local hero.

But when the wedding festivities take an unexpectedly passionate turn, Em figures it was just one crazy night. Jack is too gorgeous, too popular, to ever end up with her. So why is she the one he can talk to about his deep, dark feelings? If Em is going to get her dream man, she'll have to start by believing in him…

 When I had the opportunity to receive an ARC from Harlequin, I jumped at the chance. Not only do I love Harlequin Teen publications, but I've been a Harlequin fan since I first discovered romances back when I was in Junior High. Oh yes, I quickly graduated from Sweet Valley High to Harlequin books and was pleased as punch to receive fancy wine glasses with my orders!

I'm used to the quality of Harlequin novels and love that each one is a lovely little escape as I follow the romance of the couple involved. Kristan Higgin's' IN YOUR DREAMS was no exception to the lovely romances I'm used to reading from Harlequin.

Emmaline's ex, Kevin, was SUCH an incredible douchebag. You really just wanted to reach through the book and smack him one. Jack Holland was simply perfect, even when I'm making faces at the book as I urge him to declare his feelings for Emmaline. I do adore premises that include a wedding of an ex and a fake date. I love the back story of Emmaline and the issues she has with her parents and I adore the fact that she adores her adopted sister, whom she truly did not spend time with growing up as they were separated.

You really feel like you're part of this small town as you read this book. Jack's family, Emmaline's family, everyone knowing everyone's business, etc., and watching Emmaline fall for Jack and vice versa was sweet and lovely. And of course...the animal lover that I am, I adored Sarge. :)

What happens when a tooth fairy falls in love with her dentist?
The dental community may never be the same.
***
Trixie Trident has a secret. Everyone knows she creates one-of-a-kind jewelry during the day. It’s what she does on her night job no one would ever guess. She’s a tooth fairy. Not the tooth fairy, just one of many. It would take her whole life just to combat the many misconceptions people have about TFs. Like how nobody wears tutus or uses a wand. Or stands three inches high. Nope, Trixie looks just like any other woman in her mid-twenties. And she’d tell people all of that stuff. If she was allowed to. But she’d sworn a sacred tooth fairy oath that she’d never tell a soul. And she hadn’t. Except for her best friend, who would never breathe a word to anyone.

Gray Keebler meets Trixie when she comes to his dental office as a new patient. He’s had lots of single women patients before, but not one has ever sparked his interest like Trixie. What is it about her that’s so unique? He can’t quite figure it out but he’s determined to try, even when she turns him down for a second date. Trixie is attracted to Gray like she’s never been to any man before. He’s what she always dreamed of in a man. And they even have the subject of teeth in common. But a relationship with the gorgeous dentist can never be. How could it when she’s a tooth fairy? Not only can’t she tell him, but he’d never believe her anyway.

Full Disclosure: I received an electronic copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. As follows:

I adored this book. I thought it was quirky, cute, sweet, and I loved how it was contemporary with a touch of fantasy. A tooth fairy falling for her dentist? A dentist falling for a tooth fairy? Seriously, such a cute concept and I loved how shy both of these characters were. The take-charge sister and mother were adorable and I loved how they got involved as soon as they heard the doctor mention her name. There is an evil, nasty woman in the shape of Korkie and really...I've met people like that. Rude, delusional, and just nasty. She doesn't really get her comeuppance, but instead it's a touch more realistic with what happens to her. This was just fine with me!

Ms Hartman knows how to write those romances that make you sigh with contentment, wistfulness, and happiness. And I love the cats that show up in her books as well!
