Ratings and reviews

I enjoy Collette Cameron and to get these five stories in one is a fantastic bargain. They are quick reads. I had already purchased the stories individually, but I wanted to share my thoughts on a couple here. A Kiss for Miss Kingsley: This is a second chance at love. Olivia followed her family loyalty while Allen nursed his hurt feelings over being rejected. Despite the time that has passed, Olivia's hopes build but she worries about how she is seen by others. Allen follows his heart, not his head, when he sees her. I loved their honesty as they speak of their feelings. Bride of Falcon: Second in the series, you meet characters from the first book, but this story stands alone. Ivonne loves only one man, Chance, but he left without contacting her. Six years later, they have a chance at love again. Both have become "damaged" in that time which plays upon their conscious awareness of others and gives rise to doubts. Chance/Falcon has a tender soul although he can be gruff. I liked both Ivonne and Chance, and enjoyed their reunion.

This is a great historical romance collection by Collette Cameron! A Kiss for Miss Kingsley- I loved this short story! It was sweet and charming. Even when circumstances kept them apart Olivia and Allen never stopped loving one another. Now they can be open and honest about their feelings for one another and move on to the next chapter in their lives. Bride of Falcon- I really enjoyed this book by Collette Cameron. It is full of fun, fashion, heartache, suspense, love and romance. In Bride of Falcon, Ivonne has been in love with Falcon since she was 15 years old. Little did she know that Falcon loved her also, but being protective of her, her father turned down Falcon's request for Ivonne's hand in marriage. He told him that if he still loved her and could provide for her in a few years then he could ask for her hand again. The six years that they went without any communication at all felt like a lifetime to them both during which they had both gone through a lot of living and growing up. All of that time, lack of communication and hurt feelings did little to stifle their feelings. If anything they were more drawn to one another. Finally after all of those years apart Ivonne and Falcon are hoping for their happily ever after. Her Scandalous Wish - I LOVED this story! Anytime a couple can get a second chance I'm pretty sure I'm rooting for them the loudest and the hardest and this story was no exception. Bradford and Philomena had no idea that each of them thought the other one had left the other. Philomena thought Bradford left and never again thought of her because she hadn't received any letters from him the whole time he was gone. Bradford had thought he had lost Philomena in a fire and he had yet to find another woman that he loved as much as her. Finding each other is a shock and both of them struggle with the fact that they had both been so very wrong and whereas their feelings for one another have never waned Philomena is not sure that either of them can get past her physical scars and possibly they could destroy their relationship before it even gets started. To Tame a Scoundrel's Heart - I loved this historical romance by Collette Cameron! Her stories never disappoint and I'm always looking forward to reading more books by her. Katrina Needham thinks that she has her life planned out until Captain Dominic St. Monte returns to town and needs her help finding a wife and being accepted by all those in high society. Nic will do anything in order to take his place in society so that he can take on the care of his sisters whom he loves more than he ever thought possible, but in doing so he's spending more time with Katrina which makes him see how much he has come to care for her also. He needs to find a wife, but he realizes that he doesn't just want anyone, he wants Katrina and hopes that she will soon see just how good they will be together. The Wallflowers's Wicked Wager - I loved this story by Collette Cameron! It is the fifth book in her A Waltz with a Rogue series. It would only make sense for Shona and Morgan to gravitate to one another because of their pasts. Both experienced harshness and cruelty from a parent and are seen as less than worthy in society at no fault of their own. Now that Shona has recently gained a title means nothing to her. She doesn't see an issue with Morgan's so-called lacking in society because of unemployment or a place to live because he swears never to step foot on his father's plantation. All she cares about his how gentle and kind he is to her, but Morgan has nothing to offer and feels that he must walk away from her no matter how much he has come to love her. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more books by Collette Cameron in the future! I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

This is a wonderful collection of novellas by Collette Cameron. When you read the first one, you will not stop until you have read the last! A Kiss For Miss Kingsley I truly loved this novella!

Bride of Falcon What is not to love about life a wounded hero returning home to find the woman he has loved? Chancy Faulkenhurst returns to England after being away for six long years. He has abstained some terrible wounds from his time at war in India. Ivonne Wimpleton has had 5 seasons and has yet to find a suitor she cares about. Her heart went with Chance when he left six years ago. This is a delightful story of two people brought back together and their journey to reconnect. It warmed my heart and left me smiling!

The Wallflower's Wicked Wager This is my favorite trope in a story. Wounded scarred souls fated to find each other.
