Ce commentaire est de: First Night: An Anthology of Romance Novellas (Paperback)

There are four novellas in First Night and each of them is great. I particularly liked Renaissance. The writing is just beautiful and Delia's story of renewal is strong and realistic. Honey Clover is very good, very original and had me laughing, scared, crying and celebrating with Vivienne and Brian by the end. Providence was mysterious and effective as a time travel. By the end I felt everything falling into place for Amy, even though a lot is left up to the reader to figure out. Fate and Firecrackers was a nice quick read that sizzled and sparkled. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes romance with edge and originality.

Ce commentaire est de: First Night: An Anthology of Romance Novellas (Paperback)

I read a lot of romance, but First Night by far surpasses most of the others out there. It is one of the best anthologies in the genre I've ever read. It is four stories about four couples that are drawn together by the mystery and promise of New Year's Eve.

Using the seasons of the year, each story fits an aspect or idea of winter, spring, summer and fall.

Providence, the winter story, is a time travel. It is a nice story to read.

Honey Clover, the spring story, is utterly fantastic. The characters are so original and story is great. It is the story of Vivienne DeNoue, a scientist who is so logical and emotionally wounded that she can't trust her heart to do what's best for her when she meets Brian Cord. Brian Cord has been the subject of my daydreams since I read this book!

Fate and Firecrackers is hot, and I don't mean that figuratively. It's a good story about Bronwyn and Rick -- Bronwyn is a woman -- who are both stubborn about falling in love.

Renaissance starts off slowly, but builds to a terrific adventure into the heart, mind and soul of a woman.

First Night is like a box of chocolates. I didn't know what I was going to get, but everything was really good!

This anthology is better than all the rest, as the saying goes.
The stories are original and unique, for the most part, and the characters are unbelievably engaging. Lisez davantage
