Publisher's Summary:

What's one impulsive night between old friends? Tied together by tragedy, business tycoon Garrett Gage has always vowed to protect Kate Devaney - at all costs. What he doesn't expect is that she'd someday need protection from him. When did Kate blossom from an orphaned little girl into a breathtaking woman? And what possessed him to forsake a deathbed vow and take vulnerable Kate into his arms, into his bed?

Now that they'd been intimate, things have changed - more than Garrett could possibly know. Kate is carrying his child. And along with that, a secret that could change everything....

Members Reviews:

She wanted his love and to have his children. He only saw her as the 'sister' he needed to protect, sometimes from himself.

I enjoyed this story because of Kate's character. To want simply to be loved, and have a family is as basic as breathing. Her father had come to the Gage family as a bodyguard and gave his life protecting them. Kate and her sister, Molly remained in the Gage family and have been cared for ever since. Problem is, Kate loves Garrett. Garrett has always felt he had the role of big brotherly protector. His wanting her was not appropriate.

Waiting for them to communicate with each other and admit their feelings for one another was not only the most frustrating, but also the most enjoyable part of the book. I always love a happy ending. Add to this the intense attraction between these two and you've got a great afternoon read that will leave you feeling good.

Don't buy, waste of money. Bad story.

To much angst. I love harelquin presents. But spending $3 was not worth it. No real story. The hero was good and bad! Nothing in between to substantiate why. The heroine was weak and unrealistic. She's moving to Florida with no plans. This one should have free.

NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF

This was a good read, it is really shocking that most times one doesn't realise what's in front of one's face. Garrett caught himself just in the nick of time, and Kate was so noble leaving so he could live the life he chose over her. Ms. Garnier would there be a book on the half brother and the heiress. hint hint

Good book

I have liked every Red Garnier book I have read so far. Once Pregnant, Twice Shy was a good read with likeable characters and a HEA. I can't wait to read Emerson's book since I have read Molly & Juliens story & Kate & Garretts story.

Five Stars

All the books I've odered are excellent to read, no disappointment.

How does a star fall? Quickly. Completely. Unexpectedly.

Derrick Knolane escapes to Trinidad Head most evenings, avoiding his apartment and planning for the day he'll break free of Humboldt County. Working in a music store might be fine for a while, but it's far from the goal he had in mind when he got his college degree. Not to mention the fact that his roommate is a jerk and his family won't stop trying to run his life.

Then Brielle falls into his world.

She claims to be a star. Not from Hollywood, but from heaven. He thinks she's crazy. Certainly delusional. Yet, he can't just leave her alone on the cliffs. So he takes her home.

And his whole world falls apart.

A heartfelt and fanciful contemporary romance novella, How a Star Falls explores the uncertain season of new adulthood and shows that sometimes the worst inconveniences make for the best miracles of all.

Beautiful Story Full of Hope and Love

Where does How a Star Falls rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I very much enjoyed it!

What was one of the most memorable moments of How a Star Falls?

This story hit a few sore spots in my heart as I feel that I have been dealing with the same sort of issues that Derrick finds himself wrestling with. I dont always feel like I have become who I thought I would be, but then I realized that I had no clear vision since I was just pursuing a vague dream from my family. I have never really wanted much of anything since I knew I would just do what I was told. It felt fruitless to try carving out my own dream because it would just be replaced with another more reasonable one. Now, I find myself at times floating in a huge sea littered with dreams from other people while I helplessly sift through the clutter in search of a dream for myself. Like Derrick I feel like life has taken shape around me outside of my own will while I have been trying to forge ahead in my own expedition. I cant allow myself the luxury of wallowing in my own heartache for not finding the piece of me that remains hollow because once I start, I may not be able to stop. Ever onward I press while wrestling with myself to leave my heart, hopes, and dreams in the hands of the One who holds the Universe in place. Perhaps one day, my world will be turned upside down by such a simple revelation as the one that Derricks mystery girl gently handed to him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, very much

Any additional comments?

Amber Stokes never fails to surprise, entertain, and enlighten with her literary creations. Each beautiful story is a testament to her incredible talent that continues to blossom and intensify as the years go by. This is such a beautifully written and exquisitely gifted story of how a little hope, sprinkled with a dash of starlight, and then surrounded by a promise of love can embolden and infuse the heart and mind of one who has lost their way with the healing power of purpose and direction. Amber is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite authors.

Charming Romance

If you could sum up How a Star Falls in three words, what would they be?

Sweet contemporary romance

What was one of the most memorable moments of How a Star Falls?

Publisher's Summary:

Ryker was raised in a foster care group home, and never gained the softer skills a family would have given him. Upon graduation he joined the military, providing him structure, meaning, and a great career of which he could be proud. After 12 years he has a life he is comfortable within, a team that he would die to protect and little else in his solitary existence. Unfortunately, all that changes when one of his team doesn't make it out of the latest covert operation and Ryker is made to keep a promise that will take him on a trip toward everything he always claimed he didn't want.

Darby is the all-American girl that her fiancé left behind to serve on a covert military team. Engaged to be married that summer when he returned she is knee deep in getting her organic produce and therapeutic horse farm operation off the ground. She is busy working toward her goals when the first letter is delivered by impersonal military personnel ending her dreams of the marriage she had planned since high school. The next three envelopes will be from members of her fiance's team, all making good on a promise they made him. One of those letters will bring the loner Ryker to her doorstep for one surprising month.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful story that will bring tears to your eyes

Any additional comments?

I totally loved and was so hooked on this story, the plot is outstanding with so much thought and love put into it by the author. I really loved how fiancé took care of her and looked after her after his death. It was truly heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Not many men would have put others before themselves if they thought they would die. I loved the letters and what they brought to the story. There is no way you can read this and not be touched in some way or not love these characters.

Francesca Santoro did a great job with the narration. She made you feel the sorrow, pain, and happiness more so than if you read the story. Her character voices were good you had no trouble telling who was talking or if they were male or female. There was no background noise or any places where the volume was higher or lower than other places. The performance was good along with her tones. She really made it hard for me to put this audio down as she pulled on my heartstrings. I look forward to listening to more from her.

I had such compassion for Ryker never knowing what family, love, needing, giving of yourself to another before you think of yourself. He had a really rough life with no one caring for him. He did learn a little about these things in the military fighting beside your fellow soldier who really is your brother. Standing up and never leaving a man behind making sure any fallen soldier got home to bury near his family. He still has so much to learn the biggest is that he is someone worth knowing and loving.

With having such compassion for Ryker you still have just as much for Darby. Loving one man almost since birth, growing, learning and needing that person more than life. Never standing in his way when he wanted, needed to go into the military. Than getting the knock at the door saying he wont be coming home alive, burying him and trying to move on. Her ex knew her so well that he took steps to show her how much he truly loved her.

Great Story

I would recommend this audio book. There were some voices I did not like but it did not take away from the story. The story was touching. There were a few chapters that made me cry. I love the main characters and felt it was a good listen.

Publisher's Summary:

Tied and Twisted

Since leaving the Army to launch a private security company and raise his younger sister, David Burke doesn't have time for women outside of business. He swears by casual and uncomplicated, and satisfies his needs within the walls of a friend's club - until business and pleasure cross paths in one of the club's exclusive Blue Rooms.

When Jovanna Steeple's past rears its ugly head and violates the new life she's making, David might be enough to save her heart - but will he be enough to save her life?

Naked and Unleashed

The line between business and pleasure was never a concern for Callista Voorhees until Mikal Steele stepped off her client list and into her most twisted fantasies. She knows she shouldn't draw him into her uncivilized need to surrender, but Mikal's thinly restrained violence wreaks havoc with her good sense.

Divided by responsibility and desire, Mikal fights to remain in control. He almost succeeds - until the lure of the Blue Room draws Callista in, and her confessions unleash Mikal's darkest beast.

Tangled and Bound

The powerful, magnetic man seated beside Melanie Burke on a flight to Las Vegas could have walked straight out of one of her dog-eared romance novels. When he strikes up a conversation with her on the late-evening flight, fictional fantasies become knee-weakening, panty-soaking, feminine-core-clenching reality - a reality she wants to revisit again and again. But jaded club owner Sam Fletcher has seen everything in the Blue Rooms, and he's weary of the games people play in pursuit of a thrill.

Members Reviews:

Scorchingly Hot BDSM Bundle!

This is a review for books 1 and 3 of this scorchingly hot bundle. Worth every penny!

Tied & Twisted (Blue Room VIP book 1)

This erotic novella is the story of David and Jovanna. Though they interact at a BDSM club their real life association is through David's security company as he helps Jovanna deal with a stalker. But playing in a club and having a relationship are two different things and Jovanna must decide what it is she really wants from David.

There was an interesting combination of plot lines going on in this novella - it's an erotic romance, it's a BDSM club story, and it's a thriller. I liked the way the author was able to combine all these elements into a fast paced and interesting story. The sex scenes are steamy (to be expected!)but once the characters know each other better there is an emotional link between them neither wants to deny. It was a quick and entertaining read. 4 stars.

Tangled & Bound (Blue Room VIP book 3)

This is the erotic story of Melanie and Sam. Having a mile-high fling with an anonymous stranger is something Melanie never thought she would do, and when said stranger turns out to be her brother's friend Sam, a whole new world of possibilities opens up for her. But Sam isn't interested in a relationship - co-owner of the sex club Bondage, he's seen everything out there and doesn't have room for love and affection in his life. Melanie wants what Sam won't give her, until he realizes that if he doesn't take care of her needs, she'll find someone else and suddenly that isn't good enough for him anymore.

I quite enjoyed this story! There isn't a lot of romance in this book.

Publisher's Summary:

Twenty-two-year-old Gina Stewart lives with her somewhat eccentric family in Little Florence, Ohio--a small town on the outskirts of Cleveland. Her father, Scottish by descent, is determined to be Italian despite his fair skin and bright-red hair--and he's convinced the rest of her family to be Italian, too. If that isn't embarrassing enough, her hunky neighbor, Anthony Carboni, puts her name on the ballot for Little Florence's Sausage Queen, and she wins. It's his revenge for her ruining his date with that sleazebag Lucia Manetti.

Gina's humiliation doesn't end there. Her postcollege job search leads to one disaster after another. And Anthony's determination to get her to date him only complicates matters. The last thing she wants is to be just another female passing through the revolving door of Anthony Carboni's love life, even if she's had a huge crush on him forever.

Will Gina find her true calling in life? Can Anthony convince Gina he's the right man for her?

3.5 stars

Cute story for a quick read. The characters were amusing, especially Gina's family. Great if you're in the mood for a sappy romance. Might have been good to flush it out more and make it a full length story though.

A few things did bring the rating down for me a bit.

First, some facts were mixed up. Gina starts off saying something about how her senior prom was 4 years ago. Then a few pages later she says she's glad to have left high school a few months before and even something about a 18 year old sausage queen. So ya, for the author, please double check the stats you've given your characters.

Second, the characters seemed a bit young for their ages to me. The reactions and antics that they had seemed more like people who were 17/18, not a woman of 22 and a man of 26. Or maybe my perception of how people at those ages act is skewed? I certainly don't remember being like that at 22.

Third, how Gina and Tony fall in love seemed rushed. The author didn't really explain why Tony fell in love with Gina but at least even at the beginning of the story you knew he liked her so it's fine that he says he loves her. But Gina's character doesn't really show that she likes him in that way at all, besides being physically attracted to him. So for her all of a sudden to say she loves him that was out of no where for me. I think this could have been resolved if the story was longer so that the author had more pages to develop their relationship.

Overall, a fun quick read with some entertaining humor.

Sweet little story, geared toward a younger set

This is a sweet story. It is very short. The character and her family are all very likeable. I hate that amazon considers a 3 star rating to be negative. I don't feel negatively toward this book at all, I just found it be average. I feel it would be unfair to other 4 star books to put it in the same category. I just have to be honest that I wouldn't personally pay to own this book.

First off, the main character is just out of college and doesn't have a career as of yet. As I am personally in my mid-thirties I found this character hard to relate to. This book is geared to college/just out of college age group. There is no real conflict in the storyline. Nothing that heightened my emotions at any point throughout. And considering the length, I just can't see paying for this as a book.

Melissa and Owen met on New Year's Eve, and he proposed on Valentine's Day. Now it's March, and they're about to set sail on a two-week Caribbean cruise--and get married on the last day at sea. Though their relationship's moving fast, Melissa's wanted to be married for years, and she knows the smart, stable Owen is a great catch ,so she's sure they'll be fine. At least she's sure until she meets his brothers on the cruise and discovers she's dated both of them: Austin, the fun-loving flirt whose kisses still haunt her dreams, and Nicholas, the sweet horror-movie fan whose lack of ambition upset her in ways she still doesn't understand.

Melissa expected to spend tons of time onboard with her fiancé, but he instead spends nearly every waking moment in the casino, displaying a previously unseen love of gambling. This surprise, and the time she spends with Nicholas and with Austin, makes her question everything she thought she wanted. Her relationship with Owen was just fine before, but suddenly "just fine" doesn't seem good enough to keep a marriage alive for a lifetime. Melissa has two weeks to decide: stay with Owen or jump ship.

Serious Cheese

This might be the cheesiest book I have ever heard. Some of the lines were laugh-out-loud ridiculous and the premise of the story was quite unbelievable from start to finish. It was like a bad movie I couldn't turn away from, just because I wanted to see just how ridiculous it got.

The performer sounds like she's about 15 years old and her voices, particularly of the male parts, were like nails on a chalkboard.

I suppose people like these kinds of whirlwind romance novels. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

Stereotypes abound

I was disappointed in how women were so poorly stereotyped in this book. Cardboard characters and a predictable plot.

an exceptionally well-crafted tale of misunderstandings untangled

Believable characters, delicious setting, and a crisp bright style make this story of misunderstandings between friends and lovers compulsively readable. The plotting is seamless, with no false starts, no irrelevancies. Every new development a surprise at first but then makes perfect sense because she's laid the groundwork. Nothing just comes out of nowhere. The characters feel like real individuals, not predictable stick figures, and the problems they face are just as real. Stacey's changing view of the competitive but insecure Chris is especially insightful writing.

The main character Stacey's interactions with her husband and best friend form the basis of a love triangle in this story. It's complicated by Stacey's co-worker Christine, and I really liked the way the two female characters portrayed how friendships with other women can sometimes be stressful and have a lot of layers to them. I also appreciated how Christine was not a caricature of the "hot, insensitive girl," and had motives hinted at of her own. Stacey is likable and you are rooting for her the whole way through the book.
