Description from the publisher:

Valentine’s Day is chocolatier Chloe San Valentino’s favorite day of the year.  Not only is it the busiest day in her candy shop, Caramelle de Chloe, but it’s also her birthday.  Chloe’s got a birthday wish list for the perfect man she pulls out every year: he’d fall in love with her in a heartbeat, he’d be someone who cares about people, and he’d have one blue eye and one green eye, just like her.  So far, Chloe’s fantasy man hasn’t materialized, despite the matchmaking efforts of her big, close-knit Italian family.  But this year for her big 3-0 birthday, she just might get her three wishes.

3 WISHES is the third book in the Candy Hearts Romance series.  This is a multi-author series and the books can be read in any order.

The story is a short, sweet, cute, romantic, light-hearted, feel-good bit of whimsy for the hearts and flowers holiday.  It was funny and fun… an absolutely joyful way to spend a couple of hours.

This is the only book I have read from the series or from the author.  I would love to have more from each!

Narration:  The narrator is an absolute joy as she puts on her best cartoony Italian accent.  Other than a few odd pronunciations, I thought it was fun to listen to her presentation of this story.

Description from the publisher:

Their wolves can heal their relationship - if the humans will just get out of the way.

Griffin has tried to move on since his separation from Dakota– but that’s easier said than done when your inner wolf refuses to let go of his soul bonded mate. Now in pre-med school and dating a human doctor he’s ready to put his past behind him and look toward the future. Or so he keeps telling himself.

Dakota has been living in hell since she made a horrible mistake while Griffin was overseas. Thrown to the curb the moment he got home she’s spent the last year getting clean and sober and trying to pick up the pieces of her disastrous life- telling herself that their separation was really Griffin’s fault. But deep down she doesn’t want to move forward, she wants to go back to her high school sweetheart - no matter how much he hates her.

When a fateful accident almost kills Dakota, the only person she can turn to is Griffin. Forced to allow her back into the home they shared as man and wife, Griffin finds himself torn between the memories of her betrayal and his desire to reclaim her as his own. But Dakota’s secrets go deeper than Griffin can imagine; and when the fog clears on their steamy reunion one of them will find that the betrayal that tore them apart, was really their own.

Beware: Contains a broody Alpha Male and his headstrong, yet broken mate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RECLAIMED FROM THE MOON is the third book in the Wolf River series, previously released as RECLAIMING HIS MATE.  They will each stand on their own, but I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.

What I loved the most about this story was feeling every twisting, gut-wrenching emotion they both were going through.  I wanted to shake both of them.  Get them to talk.  Get them to listen.  I knew.  I just KNEW there was something important that wasn’t being said.  I’ll say it again – I loved feeling all of the emotions – all of the tears, confusion, hurt, anger, but ultimately love, compassion, and passion that could not be refused.

This was the best story so far in this series and that’s saying a lot, because this series is already amazing.  I am eager to see who else may come.

Description from the publisher:

Rumor has it, charming adventurer Christopher Pringle is finally ready to settle down.  He’s searching for a free-spirited bride to join him on his travels.  But when the matchmaker he hires turns out to be the woman he had a public spat with the day before, nothing goes as planned!

Miss Gloria Godwin loves exploring the world… from the safety of a book.  She detests her dashing client’s attempts to force her from her comfort zone.  It should be easy to marry off the handsome heir to a dukedom.  But the more she tries to match him to other women, the harder it gets to say goodbye.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WISH UPON A DUKE is the third book in the Twelve Dukes of Christmas series.  They completely stand on their own and can be read in any order.

I simply love this series!  There continue to be references to famous, familiar, and traditional Christmas stories and songs.  The romance is sweet and comfortable.  Plus, there are puns!

I think my favorite part of the story was Ms. Ridley’s choice in how to reference the three French hens (as the partridge in the pear tree was in the first book and the two turtle doves were in the second).  Beautiful, inspiring, and heart-warming.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
