A heartwarming story is the hallmark of romance. Savor the magic of love in Leading Hearts (First Books In Series) with my three sweet and inspirational romances in 1 volume. These wholesome stories, where God is oftentimes at the center, brim with love and laughter. A Love Song To Cherish (Inspirational) It's easy to recognize another's pain. The tough part is facing your own. When Dorothy Thompson returns to Cherish, SC, to play piano for her brother's wedding, memories and fear nearly paralyzes her fingers. If anyone she knew back in high school discovers her secret, the whispers will start. Fake. Fraud. Failure. It's not as if she can blame God for her troubles. No, she did that all by herself. But, remembering His lessons, she's fighting to get back on track. All she can do is pray the wedding vocalist--her brother's friend Ryan, a rising opera star--won't notice the way her hands shake. When Ryan Edwards sets foot inside a church for the first time in years, he's no longer the pitiable kid from the poor side of town, but someone who's made it on his own. Without God's help--not that He ever cared about misfits like Ryan, anyway. When he lays eyes on Dorothy--all grown up, more beautiful than ever, and clearly hiding something--he almost forgets why he left Cherish. Almost. But while his heart yearns to call the tune, he can't forget his hard-earned career comes first...and his old friend's little sister is off limits. Note: Contains references to opiate addiction and recovery. When the storm destroys everything, remember God has your name on something else. Seeking Fortune (A Regency Inspirational Romance) Are her superstitions working their magic...or is God sending a message? The first novel in the Romany Gypsy Seeking Series. A Golden Pen Winner, Seeking Fortune received over 6000 nominations on Kindle scout. Losing his wife and daughter to influenza shook James Colchester's faith in God. As another epidemic threatens, he's torn between what's best for his fragile son: fleeing to his Welsh homeland, or staying put. In a moment of weakness, the black-haired, green-eyed Gypsy's delicate touch on his palm quells his fear...and her beauty ignites a warmth he hasn't felt in years. Desperate to return to her people, Valentina goes against every lesson her mother taught her to soothe the Englishman into a false sense of security. But as James' quiet faith sparks a hunger to know it for herself, she realizes she's made an unforgivable mistake. One that could rob James of his most precious gift--and destroy their chance for lifelong love. There are lies more believable than the truth. 1-800-CUPID A house flipper looking for quick profit. A survivor with a dream. Can two broken hearts find a place to call home? Prepare for romance and fun with the first book in my home-flipping series. When a Miami investor calls in search of prime property flip prospects, North Carolina real estate broker Candee Contando expects to meet a balding, steely-eyed land shark. Turns out the first customer she's had in months is a hot prospect in more ways than one. Except his gaze has fallen on her dream house, a dilapidated Victorian she just bid her last penny on in hopes of creating a safe place for disadvantaged children--like the girl she used to be. Teddy Winchester is adept at negotiating life's curves, but Candee's curves stop him in his tracks. She's a warm spark in the emptiness he's felt since his brother died, leaving him with a beloved nephew to raise.… (más)

1-800-Cupid by Josie Riviera First time reading this author and loved all the details. Love learning about different locations in the book, felt as if I was there also! Story starts out with Candee (works at the local hardware store) and she lives with her sister, Desiree (works at country club) and she's into real estate. She bids on the mansion at the end of the street and no one has lived in it for many years. She hopes no one else wants to buy it-it's in Roses, NC. Story also follows Teddy and his friend (Rob) in FL and they are into helping his nephew who needs medical surgeries. Teddy meets her and expects a woman over 50 as the real estate business has been operating for over 30 years. Candee shows other places in the area to Teddy and he shows an interest in her mansion-she thinks it's hers already. She plans to redo the place for disadvantaged children. He and his friend hope to flip a house for a living. She is heavily into beagle dogs and volunteers also at no kill shelter. Misunderstanding and you wonder if they will ever be together again... Lots of surprises in this book and like how they change plans and just go with things. Love ending did NOT see that coming. Recipe at the end-another surprise! Other works by the author are highlighted at the end. Can't wait to read more from this author. Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion. ( )
