Candy Hearts Romance

You and Me by Stephanie Kepke

Forty year old Alex Spencer has given up on love. Having escaped five years earlier from the verbally abusive and two decades older, Trent Peterson, her life revolves around her daughter, sixteen-year-old Josie, even if Josie wants nothing to do with her.

But with Valentine’s Day looming, Alex’s high school sweetheart, Billy Leibowitz, whom she kicked out of her life twenty years earlier thanks to Trent’s demands, has been invading her thoughts. Alex searches for Billy in vain—it seems as if he’s simply disappeared. Suddenly, Candy Hearts, which Billy sent to Alex every Valentine’s Day, start arriving in the mail. Is Billy sending the Candy Hearts? Will this finally be her chance at happily ever after?

This second chance at love story is absolutely charming and fresh. Alex is proactive and deals with life head on and doesn't hesitate to go after what she wants. Billy is a gorgeous hunk and totally worthy of winning her love again. I totally recommend this recent addition to The Wild Rose Press' Candy Hearts series!

Forget Me Not by Maureen Bonatch

The car accident totaled Sabrina Post’s convertible and reinvented her memories. She can't recall dumping Cole Dawson ten years ago. What her new clairvoyant visions tell Sabrina is he’s her husband. Any practical girl would question her sanity. But if Sabrina wants to make this imaginary future a reality, she'll have to regain Cole’s trust and eliminate her rival, the coffee shop waitress who’s pegged Cole as husband #4. To prove she’s foreseen their destiny, Sabrina stirs Cole’s interest by revealing specifics about him she couldn’t have otherwise known. Unfortunately, the one detail he vividly remembers is the pain when she left him and their "rinky-dink" town in her rearview mirror.

If Cole can't believe she's a changed woman, can Sabrina accept the only second chance she has at love exists in her memories?

Sabrina might have made some hurtful choices regarding Cole ten years before we first meet her, but at that first meeting she is bewildered, confused, and totally rootable! Her trip to her hometown to recover from her car accident leaves her with more questions than answers. Her hero, Cole, is obviously still in love and hasn't forgiven her for leaving him for the bright lights and the big city. Eventually it all makes sense when they really talk to each other. I love that Sabrina isn't afraid to face the past (after all, she knows the future!) and forces Cole to have an honest discussion with her about the past.

Candy Hearts Romance

Charm Me by Tena Stetler

Summer Dawn Riley’s an extraordinary elemental witch whose troubled past haunts her. She’s created a calm life for herself teaching yoga and keeping people at a distance. Her life takes a one eighty degree turn when she enrolls in a women’s weapons class and meets ruggedly handsome Devlin Sawyer.

Devlin, a former Navy Seal, has sworn off women after two long-term failed relationships, but there is no denying his attraction to Summer. She intrigues him like no other woman ever has. Despite her attempts to ignore him, Summer is drawn to Devlin. His magic signature is strong, but he’s no warlock. Will Valentine’s Day magic find them a future together?

I enjoyed this story very much! Devlin is a dream hero, retired Navy SEAL, half were-wolf, all protector. While he could have gone over board on the protector front, he respected Summer's, the heroine, need to learn to protect herself and the authority with which she lived her life. They both have secrets, and that's okay. Their secrets don't keep the romance from sparking, so there was no possibility for any kind of big misunderstanding to get in the way. They talk to each other! Whodathunk?

Did I mention there was a dog? I'm always a sucker for a dog in a story!
