Just OK
Read the above blurb if you want a summary of the three stories because I'm just going to mention why this isn't a keeper for me. I'm a big fan of D'Alessandro and I can truly say that her May-December romance works here, but suffers slighty (as do the others) from lack of love scenes.

Just OK,
By Misuzmama (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Come September (Harlequin Special Releases) (Mass Market Paperback)
Read the above blurb if you want a summary of the three stories because I'm just going to mention why this isn't a keeper for me. I'm a big fan of D'Alessandro and I can truly say that her May-December romance works here, but suffers slighty (as do the others) from lack of love scenes. Not that there weren't any, but they were just glossed over and lacked the needed buildup. The three stories were well written and interesting, but with not enough heat/steamy scenes which made them a bit teenager-ish. I like more in my romances.
I highly recommend (in the anthology category) Stroke of Midnight (also with D'Alessandro) A Gift of Love (historical and contemporary mix) I Love Bad Boys Bad Boys in Black Tie A Very Merry Christmas

"Summer Breeze" by Jacquie D'Alessandro. Though five years have passed since the death to cancer of her spouse Ian who fathered their two children, Elise Stanford and her kids, James and Maggie, move to her hometown on Long Island to start over. To her surprise she is attracted to a younger man Seth McGuire, but fears hurting her children, the memory of her husband and her reputation as a single mom.
"Sweeter than Wine" by Cathy Yardley. Chad McFee inherits the Honey Ridge Vineyards from his late Uncle Charles, but knows nothing about operating a winery. His winemaker Leila Fairmont has one month to teach him the trade and find a reason for him to stay besides her desire for him. "Ice Cream Kisses" by Stephanie Doyle. Gracie McMillan owns and operates Sea Breeze-Ice Cream parlor that slows down once summer is over and it is winter in New Jersey. Dean Alexander Wright III arrives allegedly to write a book, but she wonders if she will survive the last chapter. Sub-genre readers will enjoy these three fine contemporary romances starring likable protagonists. Harriet Klausner |
