Heidi Reads... - Review
". . . once they put their efforts into helping the single members of the community improve their social lives the stories got more fun as they came up with interesting group activities to do in the dead of winter. The first two stories were okay but I loved the third one!"
I Am A Reader - Excerpt from Baby, Baby
The inner front door opened and a woman stepped in. She was wrapped from neck to snow boots in a reddish-brown parka that made her look like a stuffed sausage. Conversation in the room died away as every pair of male eyes turned toward her. She peeled off her knit cap, revealing shoulder-length, glossy blond hair and artfully applied makeup.
Christian Chick's Thoughts - Review
"Sometimes, novellas that are connected but are written by different authors don't feel cohesive, but in this case, the collection flowed seamlessly from one novella to the next."
Colorimetry - Excerpt from Baby, Baby
And the witty, handsome man sheâd met ten months ago with the mischievous smile? He wasnât wittyâhe was speechless. He wasnât handsomeâhis dark hair brushed his shoulders unevenly and grew from his chin in short, thick stubs. He wasnât smilingâhis lips formed a shell-shocked, silent O.
Zerina Blossom's Books - Excerpt from The Matchmaker Wore Skate
Kelsey Nash, the beautiful, backstabbing columnist, had returned to K-Bay. The pretty looks belied an icy inner strength; the watered-down bourbon doe eyes camouflaged a shrewd nature.
deal sharing aunt - Excerpt from The Matchmaker Wore Skates
Ty leaned down to whisper in her ear. âLetâs be clear, K.J., weâve seen these ladies before. Theyâve taken our survey before. Youâve done nothing for me.â
Wishful Endings - Excerpt from Suddenly Sophie
As gray as Gideon saw his world, Sophie lightened up any space she walked into with her ebullient and gregarious personalityâcharacter traits Gideon both appreciated and worried about. Not everyone was as protective as he was prone to be when it came to Sophie Jennings.
Getting Your Read On - Review
"The first book sets things up and the last one ties things together. I liked that each book was by a different author. It helped separate the characters and define them as individuals with their own voice."
Mel's Shelves - Review
"The authors did an amazing job of making the stories seamless. The major characters were in each of the stories and they were consistent. I also love that the stories are all clean! If you're looking for a fun Valentine's Day read, check this one out!!"
Thoughts of a Blonde - Review
"4 STARS! . . . This is a compilation of three short stories that revolve around a group of friends."
Underneath the Covers - Excerpt from Suddenly Sophie
If sheâd ever doubted the universe was determined to make her its comic relief, she now had solid proof. Stuffy Gideon probably disapproved of Sophieâs tendency toward taking chances, but what was the point in living if you werenât going to go after life with a bit of gusto and purpose?
Katie's Clean Book Collection - Review
"I loved that each story has a unique voice, which is really pronounced by having a different author write each one. I enjoyed my time in Kenkamken, Alaska with these great people!"

Award winning, USA Today bestseller Melinda Curtis writes the Harmony Valley series of sweet and emotional romances for Harlequin Heartwarming, and the sweet romantic comedy Bridesmaid series. A Memory Away is Book 6 in the Harmony Valley series. Brenda Novak says: âSeason of Change has found a place on my keeper shelfâ. Melinda also writes hotter romances as Mel Curtis. Jayne Ann Krentz says of Blue Rules: âWonderfully entertaining.â
Youâve met Anna J. Stewart (or someone like her) before. She was the girl who spun in circles on the playground hoping her Wonder Woman costume would magically appear before playing cops and robbers a la Charlieâs Angelsâas Sabrina (she was the smart one). Anna was the girl in the back of the class with a paperback romance hidden in her algebra book (and yes, she failed algebra).
Growing up in the 70â²s and 80â²s meant there werenât a lot of YA books, so she ventured early into mainstream fiction and read Stephen Kingâs CARRIE at the age of 8. Discovering Nora Roberts and romance novels early in high school opened her eyes to the wonders of storytelling and the beauty of a happily ever after.
So here she is, many years later with an English degree from CSU Sacramento, an RWA Golden Heart nomination behind her, countless stories in her head, and a serious addiction to STAR TREK, SUPERNATURAL, and SHERLOCK. She recently wrapped up a nearly 8-year stint working as assistant to NYTimes bestselling author Brenda Novak where she helped run Brenda's annual online auction for diabetes research. When she's not writing or reading (which she never has enough time for!), she's working on dollhouse miniatures and tolerating her overly-affectionate cat named Snickers (or perhaps it's Snickers who tolerates her).
