3 Of The Best Authors Grouped to Create A Masterpiece!, July 20, 2005
KNIGHTLY DREAMS: Taryn Edwards' car has broken down by the side of the road and she is waiting for a tow truck. This has not been Taryn's day. She has just found out that her boyfriend Rob has been cheating on her. Taryn spies a shopping mall across the street from where her car has broken down. She decides to shop while waiting for the tow truck. She spots a small bookstore and goes in to see what she can find to read. Esther, the elderly sales woman, suggests Taryn take a certain romance novel Knightly Dreams home to read and the real magic begins!
KNIGHTLY DREAMS is by Sherrilyn Kenyon. All of Ms. Kenyon's characters fly right off the pages into your mind and caress the soul with unending appeal there are no exceptions. The Earl of Ravensmoor and Taryn are true soulmates without a time frame to guide them. They are there for our pleasure. Their love scenes are a carnal connoisseur's delight and one we all would love to partake in. The dialogue and thought sequences are flawlessly integrated and intensify Ms. Kenyon's special qualities and style of expression. This reader will never tire of Ms. Kenyon's snappy one-liners or her sharp wit! Knightly Dreams is an excellent example of a tale of love and one's quest in searching out how to write their own piece of history.
SHATTERED DREAMS: Miranda and Caleb have been friends and more for years. They went their separate ways when she was sixteen and he was seventeen. Neither has ever forgotten the other. Each has keep track of the other as they have gone on in their pursuits. They have a special bond that links them together. It is this bond that transports Caleb telepathically into Miranda's truck that is ready to go over the side of a mountain. This was no accident; someone is trying to kill Miranda. Who would want to harm Miranda and why?
SHATTERED DREAMS is by Rebecca York. This powerfully moving love story is orchestrated with the poised force of Ms. York's well-publicized pen. It will keep you glued to the book and turning page after page! This story has a heart stopping effect that will have you holding your breath. It picks up the pace at just the right time. Ms. York has worked magic to bring Caleb and Miranda to the forefront of your mind. What a fantastic story to have centered in this anthology. This story is so believable; your palms might begin to perspire!
THE ROAD OF ADVENTURE: Jake Forbes is a dead police officer. He has not realized this yet. Jake thinks he is dreaming but it is real, he is dead! Jake did not live his life to it's full potential while on earth. Jake arrives at the Atrium, a place not quite Heaven, and meets Shauna who has also departed from this world. Will Jake make good on his second time around? Can he and Shauna fulfill their true destinies? Well, only this story can tell you that and this reader is not letting the cat out of the bag.
THE ROAD OF ADVENTURE is by Robin D. Owens. Ms. Owens has set her own standards and rules for her stories. This is quite evident and infused in this tale. This story sings of a brilliant imagination and amazing freshness.
Ms. Owens creates a storyline and dialogue with a language, which she can only invoke. What a beautiful soul Shauna is to behold, but she too, is lacking something. While Jake can be a jerk at times, in his heart lurks a determined and loving man. Can they both learn together? Ms. Owens definitely has an affinity for animals, which this reviewer loved! This story is a true testament to Ms. Owens' literary talents, magnificent!
WHAT DREAMS MAY COME is a dream come true anthology to read and review! All three stories threaded together to create wonderful memories for this reader. The characters and storylines are vivid and memorable. They could not have found three better authors to pair-up to make this outstanding anthology! This is a first 5 hearts review for an anthology this reviewer has ever given. It is a flawless book! Do not hesitate to buy this at your local bookstore and/or online store. A wonderfully remarkable paranormal compilation called... WHAT DREAMS MAY CAME.

three fabulous fantasy romances, July 5, 2005
"Knightly Dreams" by Sherrilyn Kenyon. After catching her boyfriend Rob Carpenter in a position with his secretary that would make them the centerfold lovers of the Karma Sutra, Taryn Edwards swears off love. That is until Esther the bookstore owner introduces her to an old fashioned knight in shining armor, Sparhawk the Brave. That is literature so how come he is by her side and she is in love.
"Shattered Dreams" by Rebecca York. Near Monterrey, California Miranda Grove feels alone while her once teenage lover Caleb Marcuso sculptures her in stone to replace the flesh and blood he still desires even though several years have passed since their families separated them. Yet they share a psychic connection perhaps because their love never stopped flowing, but will that prove enough to bring them together before as she knows only he can save her from an evil trying to kill her?
"Road of Adventure" by Robin D. Owens. Jake thought Boris the cat is the ugliest creature he ever saw. When the feline talked to Jake he almost soiled his underwear. Boris is back from the beyond to fix an error he inadvertently caused during one of his lives. Jake and Shauna were supposed to be lovers forever, but somehow failed in spite of their destiny. The ghostly cat plans to give them a second chance together in love on the "Road of Adventure".
These are three fabulous fantasy romances that enable the audience to escape into a world where the reading is fun, fine, and fantastic.

charming tales from 3 top flight paranormal writers, July 12, 2005
"Road of Adventure" by Robin D. Owens, is not one of her Celta tales, but it does have a charming irrepressible Cat - BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRISSSSSS. Boris is a ghost cat, more specifically an angel cat, even though Jake thinks he is the ugliest creature he's ever laid eyes upon. Borrrrrrriiiissssssssss belongs to Shauna, a gentle soul, loves growing things and animals, why she thinks Boris is beautiful! Boris cannot get his real angel wings - mine mine mine mine mine mine mine - until he brings Jake and Shauna together. Boris very desperately wants his wings and his golden halo, but sniffs at Jake as the possible mate for Shauna. HIS Shauna is much too good for the macho cop. They were destined to find their fates together, but something happened, and each took a wrong turn and died. Now with their guide Borrrisssssssssss, they are sent back, Jack to do it again and hopefully get it right. It's a delightful tale with Boris stealing the show, but isn't that natural??? Worthy buying for Owens tale alone.
Rebecca York has been a long time fav of mine with her consistent work for Harlequin and now her werewolf series. Again, she comes through with a delightful tale called "Shattered Dreams". Miranda often thinks of her teenage love Caleb. Once he sculpted her in stone. Despite time and separation, Caleb still wants Miranda. Their bond that defies all calls him to save the women he once loved before from an evil wanting to claim her life.
Sherrilyn Kenyon gives us a charming tale, though the weakest of the three, about "Knightly Dreams". As with all Kenyon tales read for the charm of the story not for the historical accuracy. When she catches her boyfriend with his secretary doing the Wild Thang, Tayrn is ready to put males on the endangered species list. Then a bookstore owner shows her a real knight in shining armour. It really stretches the imagination a tad. He is in a book, and suddenly he is there and she adores him. Face it, if that's all it took, J.D. Robb's Roarke would be giving me a massage right now!
