This collection contains two novelettes: The Carpenter's Inheritance by Laurie Alice Eakes and A Love So Tender by Tracey V. Bateman.

I very much love the second novelette, A Love So Tender. It has everything - spunky and believable heroine, rugged hero and a little boy torn between his real, biological father and a woman who had raised him. The main characters fight like cat and dog and the sparkles flying around are as real as the fights are. Good, fresh and romantic read this is!

But, unfortunately, I can not get my heart getting warmed towards Matt, the hero of the first novel. No amount of lovely pets can save him from behaving like coward in the case of his first young love. One can understand him, yet his moping ways are simply not attractive.
But this might be just me - read for yourself!

Good read. Interesting characters and good story flow. Hard to put down. Interesting to read about historical times and our modern perceptions. Would recommend.

Thank you for the chance to review this book, however, unfortunately, I was unable to download this title before it was archived
