Rebecca Books

R.S. Christie exposes a complicated network of interdependencies, relationships and problems in a seemingly narrow area of government. Yet, this work can be used as a model for anyone interested in the old "Where does the money go to?" question in the area of Government Science. Christie's writing is fluent and crystal-clear and she clearly has a good grasp of the inner workings of the Austin government. The US has long been debating issue regarding public spending in the area of Health Care. This work is an example of how some basic problems can be unlocked. I'd call it "A Barefoot Model for Problems in Government Spending". We usually talk of "taxpayers' money" - and this scientific work does an important service to those of us who wonder why red tape does seem to get worse every year. Highly specialized, yes, but recommended without doubt.

I really love this book. If you're the type who like to read ghost/supernatural romance book..then this is the one that you have to read...trust me..coz i've read it for the hundred times...

From the back cover:

At Christmastime, Love blooms Under the Mistletoe

"One Little Miracle" by Shannon Drake
En route to an unwanted wedding across the sea, a noble French beauty's fervent prayer for a Christmas miracle is answered--when she is abducted by a bold and breathtakingly virile pirate.

"Gifts of the Heart" by Judith E. French
A distraught Tidewater wife facing the devastating prospect of a Christmas alone is strengthened by romantic remembrances of Yultides past--and by an impossible dream of a family reunited.

"Love's Gift" by Sara Orwig
The marriage of a sassy, gun-toting tomboy to the handsome reluctant son of a neighboring rancher gets off to a riotously rocky start--until the gifts they exchange at Christmas help to bring about a passionate reconciliation.

"One Enchanted Christmas" by Rebecca Paisley
During an icy New England Christmas, a lovely and mysterious woman in white enters the lives of an embittered, reclusive widower and his invalid son--and heals them with love...and magic.

And my review:

Shannon Drake's story was the only one in the book that I didn't like. It started off well, but the whole "I'm going to act like I hate you, yet sleep with you because I just can't help myself" wore very thin. The author showed us reasons as to why we should like the hero, but then were never shown to the heroine. She fell in lust more than in love, so I skipped this one. One star.

Judith E. French's story was my favorite of the book. Set in medieval times, it was a lovely story of reuinted love, which I really enjoyed. Though the high-born lady with the peasant has been done a lot, this story did not feel contrived or stale at all. A definite re-read, highly recommended. Five stars.

Sara Orwig's story was also very enjoyable. My only complaint was that the author made it just a little too easy for blood enemies to marry. Yes, they married out of convenience (at first), but I felt that their fathers seemed to go along with it just a little too easily to be life-long enemies. Still, once I got past that, this was a very enjoyable story, and one I will probably re-read. Four stars.

Rebecca Paisley's story was one with a delightful paranormal twist. If you like stories about enchanted females transforming the lives of embittered men, then you will love this one. And the boy in the story was so sweet it made me smile many times. I liked how refreshingly off-beat the heroine was, even for an etheral creature. Five stars.

With only one story not worth reading, this is one of the best Christmas anthologies out there, and I highly recommend trying to get your hands on it. It's a keeper!

Back cover reads:
"Doens't your job ever make you yearn for a child of your own?"
Rachel Ellis had come to Spain to find her brother and, instead, discovered a tiny niece she hadn't even known existed. Rachel longed for a baby of her own but, since there seemed little chance of her finding Mr. Right, looking after Luisa seemed to be the next best thing.
But little Luisa came equipped with a self-appointed guardian--Vincente de Riano. A man who was husband material by anyone's standards, and Rachel found it all too easy to imagine being married to the charming widower. It was a dangerous dream, for Vincente had turned his back on love and Rachel was too much of a romantic to settle for anything less.
The baby business had always been fraught with hazards. Rachel was used to growing too attached to her small charges--it was her feelings for Vincente she couldn't control!

Sorry I haven't read #1 HIS MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE -
Here we meet Philippe and Kellie Didier and do the problems progress.

Kellie is getting a wonderful meal ready for Philippe on their one month marriage when she gets a call from the hospital. He has been in an accident.

Philippe was being gotten ready for surgery when he had to tell Kellie that a woman was in the hospital with him claiming to be carrying his child. You got it! She is paving her own road to hell with good intentions.

She leaves Philippe in the hopes that he will take care of Yvette and his child. She hurridly returns to the U.S. and her family so that Philippe can be free. Oh Boy!

Many things happen and then Philippe's good friend, Prince Raoul Mertier Bergeret D'Arillac sends his American born wife, Lee to convince Kellie to return to Philippe.

This leads to the balance of the story of how Kellie tries to win back her husband as now he wants the divorce. These are two people who were passionately in love with each other.
Kellie wants her husband back. He no longer has any feelings for her or anything else. He feels betrayed.

This is wonderful magic that is wrought between husband and wife who greatly misunderstand each other. This is truly an affair of the heart.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- I recommend that you add these two books to you keeper shelf.

Third book in the 'Three Brides & A Baby' Series by Trisha Alexander which is made up of these four titles: A Bride for Luke; A Bride for John; A Baby for Rebecca; and Stop the Wedding!

I liked this book - found myself smiling as I read it! The premise behind the story seemed a bit far-fetched to me but the relationship between Rebecca and Kyle was believable and well written. The ending was a bit abrupt for my tastes, but you definitely won't regret spending the time to read this one!

Description from the book back cover:

Promise her anything, but ... Rebecca Taylor saved Kyle MacNeill's life - and fell deeply, secretly in love with the sexy scoundrel. Alas, to Kyle, Rebecca remained the prim, ladylike saviour he'd vowed to repay. He'd promised her the world. But what would he think of her scandalous wish to bear his child? Dare Rebecca make her shocking proposition? Ask Kyle to give her a baby - no strings attached? Deep down, Rebecca was a fiery Texas Taylor. And Rebecca dared ...

I found Baby Teacher to be most thought provoking albeit very easy and enjoyable reading. It changed the way I thought about my baby and his brain and the whole education system. It's a must for new moms or dads! I'm going out to find the Bach & Baby series right now! Mark, father of two
