Book Description

An Outrage

Miranda's father has left her inheritance under the trusteeship of a Duke of England? Miranda can scarcely comprehend what happened. Did her father not realize this is the twenty-first century? She is certainly capable of managing her own money. More importantly, she needs that money to start the hat business she's always dreamed of, and to keep her family together.
Worst of all, the Duke of Devonwood is an imperious, modern-day tycoon who insists he can manage her money better than she can.

A Heartbreaker

If Miranda can't prove herself indispensable to her step-family, they will desert her when they complete their planned move to England. She can't let that happen, not only because she loves them, but also because they are the only family she has.

A Plan

She's not about to sit home in New York City and let some arrogant Duke tell her what she can do with her own money. Luckily, she's determined, hard-working, and maybe a touch devious. She vows to do whatever it takes to foil the Duke...
Which may include skinny-dipping, flirting with his half-brother, faking illness, and befriending his half-sisters.
Which can not include falling in love.

A Complication

The Duke of Devonwood doesn't want more dependents. With an entire dukedom to run, plus his father's second family to manage, he has more than enough people hanging on his coattails. But this headstrong American woman, Miranda, doesn't take 'no' for an answer. In fact, she soon has most of his other dependents conniving with her—and against him.
He could handle the problem...if only she weren't so enticing.

Additional Complications

The Duke's step-mother already has a bride picked out for him.
Someone may be stealing Miranda's inheritance.
The Duke has his own secrets.
And the biggest problem they each face...is battling their own desires.

Book Review



All Miranda’s hopes of starting a hat business go up in flames when her father’s lawyer reveals that her fortune is now tied up in a trust which is controlled by the Duke of Devonwood. The duke was apparently a classmate of her American tycoon father when he studied at Oxford. However Miranda is not willing to let things stand that way. Surely an old man who didn’t even know her would have no interest in minding her trust till she was thirty five! So she takes her stepmother to England to try and reason with the duke. Unfortunately the duke is dead and his heir Devon is not exactly open to the idea of releasing their funds for a lavish wedding for her stepmother. Now Miranda has to figure out how to change his mind.

He said he'd call, but that's probably the standard line after a vacation romance. Still, she'd thought they'd had something more. When the call never came, she packed away the memories of that amazing summer, and tried to forget about Matt Brashiers.

Years later, rather than watch the ink dry on her divorce papers, Jennifer Pearson escapes to that Maui resort where she'd met her first love. When Matt walks out of the waves like a golden sun god she isn't sure whether she should approach him or flee.

Matt thinks of Jenn as the one who got away, and he's not about to let it happen again. The connection between them is still palpable, but is it enough to rekindle what they had between them ten years ago? He's got one week to prove to her he's the man she needs to spend her life with.

Book Description


When Lauren divorces her husband, she has one thought on her mind...stepping off the merry-go-round. However, her life quickly turns into a three-ring circus: her hypochondriac father moves in, her ex is using her shower when she’s not home, and her perky assistant is pushing her out into the fearsome dating world. She also has to decide if the dilapidated barn and vintage merry-go-round she was awarded in the divorce settlement is a blessing or a bane. As if Lauren’s personal life isn’t chaotic enough, this slightly jaded attorney is overrun with a cast of quirky characters who can’t stay on the right side of the law. What’s a woman to do? She can allow life to spin her in circles forever. Or she can reach out and grab the brass ring.

Book Review


It would be a crime to label this book as just a romance novel. Donna has written a character so true to life that I could identify with her central character, Lauren beautifully. A woman who needs to be in charge as no one else will step up can become too independent. Sometimes it helps to let your man know that he is wanted even if he is not needed. The fact that failure is not always the worst thing that can happen to you is an important lesson. Its a beautiful read, and it may just give you a fresh perspective on what is truly important in life.


When Lauren is practically brought to bankruptcy thanks to her husband, she files for divorce. He may be a generous man prone to helping people, but giving away her life’s savings is not something Lauren takes easily. As the divorce proceedings reveal a previously undisclosed asset, a barn, that Greg had never mentioned before Lauren is happy to have it allotted to her. Especially when she discovers an old Merry Go Round in it, which she feels can be restored and sold for a fair price.

Greg feels guilty about the bad decisions which have caused the end of their marriage and he hopes to make it all up to Lauren, but she doesn’t seem to be in any mood to listen to him. His father in law is on his side, and the hypochondriac old man manages to meddle in Lauren’s life enough for her to wish him someplace else. This is compounded by the fact that she comes home one day to find Greg using her shower! Lauren is also shuffling a new love interest after her office assistant pushes her to begin dating again. 

Every character brings depth to the book and the situations go from heart breaking to hilarious as the story swings through its ups and downs. Totally recommend this read!

Book Description


We’re just friends…

Fair and beautiful Becca Sloan was used to saying this to people…and it was true. The youngest of Harper’s Crossing’s Quad Squad, she knew she could always rely on her best friend, Brian. Ever since their first encounter on the slide in pre-K, they’d had each other’s backs and were inseparable, through good times and bad.

Sexy and charming Brian Scott kept nothing from his best friend, Becca. He knew that she would always be there for him, and she knew that she could always count on him. They had a once-in-a-lifetime friendship that was a constant in both of their lives.

When both Becca and Brian are cast in a dating reality show to find love elsewhere, it becomes clear to them that they may have already found it. With cameras rolling, they’ll have to decide if they should protect their friendship and live un-happily ever after with someone else—or trust in their amazing bond and live happily ever after with each other in a Fairytale Love.

Book Review


Finally the last book in this series. I have enjoyed reading all the books, but the first and the last book were really the best. Becca is studying to be a doctor, and there is time for nothing beyond her books. She would like to take things up with her best friend from childhood, Brian, but he doesn't seem to think of her as girl friend material. they seem to have been friends too long for it to change into something else.

Brian has been having different feelings for Becca, dreams that he thinks are wired. Little does he remember that they are actually images that his alcohol soaked brain has filtered from his one evening with Becca. But Becca never said a word, so they have to be dreams right? After all he can't possibly act on these new feelings and risk their precious friendship.

Thanks to the same friendship Becca and Brian end up as co- contestants on a Fairy Tale based reality TV show. Brian needs the money and Becca is there to support him, however things are never quite as they appear on reality TV. Just how does their friendship survive this test?

But behind closed doors she still hasn’t been able to heal her own heart since it was shattered into a million pieces, ten years ago, by the only man she’s ever loved.

Every night that he sings to packed arenas, he sings to her, remembering the young love they shared and the night he had to leave her and his tortured past.

When an emergency calls Chase back to Harper’s Crossing, he’ll have no choice but to face that tortured past and all the ghosts that come with it. Will Chase be able to find his place again in the heart of the woman that sheltered him all those years ago? Will Krista be able to open her heart once again to the one man who owned her mind, body, and soul?

They’ll have to risk it all for their Crazy Love.

Book Review

Okay, I'm on a roll here. I read these books back to back and am swimming in Harper's Cross characters. Now that the four Sloan brothers have found their matches, its time for their cousins, and four Sloan girls to be hooked up with their better halves. Sorry if I'm sounding less than enthusiastic, but Haley is a hot chick, and Eddie is a single dad with loads of baggage. I just thought She could do better, but it does help tie up lose ends when these two characters match up.

The general fairly tale with Haley getting her dream line in the shop was good, the chemistry between the sisters was very interesting, but the ex fiancee showing up was not so cool. At times I want to shake Eddie to make him realize what a good thing he's got going at home with his baby sitter cum friend. Still eventually they do manage to get together, but the book was not as much fun as the ones that came before it.

 Book Review

One night stands generally have a bad rap, but for Amber, it was a fantasy that came true. A strong, sexy man stood up for her and made her feel loved and secure. Then she bolted out of the door before morning came and she could ask his name. Over the years her "Mystery Man" became a kind of standard against whom she would measure all other men and find them falling short.

Seth is a hard man, a soldier, a damaged bag of goods he would not wish on any good woman. He may be returning to Harper's Cross as a decorated war hero, but his bum shoulder is not the only thing that's wrong with him. He finds his family now extended through marriage of his brother, overwhelming to say the least, but then he spots Amber - the one who got away.

Both Amber and Seth plan to do absolutely nothing about their mutual attraction, till she is found to be in danger. Someone is targeting Amber's shop, and home, and Seth plans to keep her safe, while he figures out who it is. Will their relationship progress when neither of them is willing to take the next step?
