Wyatt and Marley have a history going way back to the day he took her retainer in school. He was trying to get her to notice him. She wound up going to another school after that. Then one day she finds a ring underneath the gazebo. The ring happens to belong to Wyatt's grandmother. From there on in, this story rolls along. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the mishaps as well as the sweet moments along the way. A delightful holiday read.

Snakes & Jails & Puppy Dog Tails is a sweet short story about a couple in love who are reunited after being separated for eight years. Reunions are a favorite theme of mine in romance, so that made this novella very appealing to me. We don't get much from Levi's perspective but what we learn of him throughout the story makes him a likable and admirable hero. He was possibly the only responsible person in his entire family, so much so, that he gave up his true love to rectify his brother's mistake by marrying the woman the brother got pregnant. Even though it appears he tried to be a good husband and father, over the years, he never stopped loving Arabella and kept a picture of her in his Bible which I thought was very sweet. Bella is a lovely heroine with a really big heart. She's a school teacher who loves kids. All she ever wanted was to marry Levi and have some of her own, but that plan got derailed for several years. Thinking he had betrayed her, she tried to put Levi out of her mind but was never able to banish him from her heart, so when she finds him snake-bitten by the side of the road and his young children without supervision, she's quick to act and forgive.

Aside from a few lines of dialog that were a little unnatural, the story is well-written. Due to the short length, events occur and conflicts are resolved pretty quickly and easily. It might have been nice if it were a little longer to flesh things out a bit more, but overall, it was a very good read. Snakes & Jails & Puppy Dog Tails was a cute novella that left me with warm, fuzzy feelings all over. This is the second short story I've read by Mallary Mitchell that made me feel that way. I can't wait to try out one of her full-length novels to see what she can do with a longer format. Unfortunately, it looks like Snakes & Jails & Puppy Dog Tails is no longer available for purchase, and since the author doesn't appear to have a website either, I don't know if it will be made available again at any time in the future. That makes me very glad that I got it when I did.

I ended up enjoying The Dragon Master even more than I thought I would. It was a really sweet, romantic tale of forbidden love between a mage and a fairy. Lexie is the lovable good girl who is a little reluctant for fear of getting caught but just can't resist Gryffyd, and I don't blame her. He would have swept me off my feet too. Gryffyd is an irresistibly charming rogue with a Scottish accent, who rides a motorcycle, performs magic and has a family of dragons for pets. I fell head-over-heels for him in just five short pages. As with most of these little e-book quickies, my main complaint is that they aren't long enough. I would have liked to know more about both Gryffyd and Lexie, as well as why their love was forbidden in their society and more about Tuathmair itself, but I was so taken by the story (and the hero;-)), I couldn't help but love it anyway, especially the ending. The author says on her website that she is working on another story in The Tales of Tuathmair, and I will gladly read it whenever she finishes it. This was my first read by Mallary Mitchell, but while I'm waiting for that new tale, I'll be checking out her backlist. The Dragon Master is available as a free download from The Wild Rose Press.… (lisätietoja)
