A Princess by Christmas by Jennifer Faye

Reviewed by Desere


Prince Alexandro Castanovo arrives in a snowy New York, intent on protecting his royal family from scandal. Down to earth and heart - stoppingly beautiful Reese Harding finds room for him at her inn and the pieces for a perfect twist of fate start to fall into place.

Not so long ago Reese's world crumbled to the ground and shook her foundations, pushed her to her limits and ever since she has been a little of kilter, but she is more than just a little intrigued by this handsome stranger. And when she discovers his true identity , the magic of Christmas might just have enough charm to turn this ordinary American girl into a princess by Christmas.

I have been a huge fan of Jennifer's books for a long time , especially because she manages to take any story and give it such an overpowering life of it's own , it leaves me breathless and in that very happy romantic bubble each and every time.

This time was no different, the author delivered a stunning story of romance and happiness found in the most unexpected places, with a unique twist of it's own.

This was the absolute perfection of romance at Christmas time, Alex the perfect hero that would make any girls knees go weak and Reese the very life and soul of dreams come true.

I loved the idea of an ordinary girl finding her real life prince, and of course I mean a real prince ! It is a dream that many woman all over the world share and for a very lucky few it becomes a reality , but not all of us are destined to be real princesses. And I must tell you had the author made Alexandro an ordinary man and not a prince the read would still have been perfect for this hero knows how to let any woman feel like a princess.

The characters were both written really well, and had loads of wonderful emotion that more than once got the better of me,  tissue alert!

I loved the back and worth range of emotion from both main characters, it put them in a very realistic light, showing that there is always something to think about before acting on anything life presents to us.

I am taking away a message of love comes in all forms, and yes it will change us, even to the point where we no longer know who we really are. But the trick is to stop and take a look and see if what you have become is maybe not better than what you were before. If you try to look the other way you might lose the one person who has filled your heart with that extra special little something that was needed to bring out the real you.

I recommend this read for all fans of romance reads. It had the perfect set up for a stunning little magic of Christmas ! A passionate, sensual and compelling read filled with the miracle of love.

Safe In The Tycoon's Arms by Jennifer Faye

Reviewed by Desere

Life as a single mother is really tough. You need to make all decisions on your own, there is never really someone to properly support you. You can talk to friends and family but it never really takes any of the stress or hurt away.

And thus you become as independent as you can be, and making sure that you never stop to think of anything else other than getting beyond the current situation that you're facing. Get up, get going and move on the the next child-raising step.

In the new Jennifer Faye read this is exactly what heroine Kate Whitley does, however her life as a single parent hits the point of nightmare and a situation no parent ever wants to face. Her daughter is ill, very ill and needs a lifesaving operation. but Kate does not have the funds.

Now of course like any other parent out there who love their children above and beyond, Kate will do anything she can to safe her child, but she does not bargain on ending up in the home of billionaire Lucas Carrington, nor that the man will agree to help her raise the funds she needs and at the same time drive her mad with his bleak outlook on life.

This read was so sweet, kind and tender and hit each and every sweet romance read spot there is. The characters were well written and both found their way into my heart at an early stage in the read. Kate because she is such a dedicated mother to her child and Lucas because he is so very lost after being hurt beyond reason.

I loved that the author let's the attraction between the characters say confrontational, it kept me interested in wanting to see what happens, but also let me more than once think this read was going to end with me in tears of non happiness.

I need not have worried, as the author crafted a beautiful read about two people who through each other find the kind of happiness one can only dream of.

I am taking away a message of being independent is great, it is one of the hardest things to be, but there really is no way you can do it all alone. Having that someone to talk to or simply be held by is what makes you stronger, not taking on everything by yourself, eventually you will burn out and then the ones that need you the most will be without you, leaving them missing a vital piece of their existence. And thinking your actions are what's best for someone else never really is, try to look at the picture from the outside in, instead of telling yourself that what you are seeing is all there is and the only route of action to take is your own.

I recommend this read for any reader looking for a perfect little escape into a afternoon of sweet romance.

Rancher to the Rescue by Jennifer Faye

Reviewed by Nancy Crocker


In Rancher to The Rescue: Meghan Finnegan is a bride on the run. Jilted by the Groom when she approached the Altar she can’t make her escape fast enough. It was bad enough he did not want her, but he did not want the baby she was carrying either. Going so far as suggesting she end her pregnancy. Running straight to Cash she asks for his help in making her escape. A local celebrity chef she just wants to hide away for a little while and make some decisions on how to move on. 

Cash Sullivan knows a thing or two about being under a microscope when it comes to the press. Growing up his abusive father involved him in the robbery of a liquor store at the age of nine. He is sent to live with his Grandparents after a tragic accident ended the life of both parents. But he soon learned his grandfather was not much better than his own father. Verbally abusive he decided that marriage and children would never be a part of his life. He feared he would be abusive also. But Cash is a strong, sweet man who watches over his grandmother. And sexier than any cowboy, should ever be. His focus is the ranch he owns. 

Seeing Meghan sick and upset Cash offers to take her to his ranch to relax and lay low for a little while. But soon he is looking forward to shared meals and wants to spend more time with her. But what does all this mean to the confirmed bachelor and what will happen when he finds out she is carrying a baby. I liked that Cash was really there for her as a friend and she was just what this cowboy needed after being burned himself in the romance department. 

I really enjoyed Rancher to the Rescue. It showed two people overcoming the terrible obstacles that life can sometimes throw our way. And it brings hope! Hope that you are able to pick yourself back up, dust yourself off and move on. Hopefully it will be to a better place. This is Jennifer’s debut Novel and I have said a number of times in other reviews I have written. So I am going to say it this time with her. I love when and author writes with zero or no errors to their writing. To me it shows an author who knows her talent and is well versed. Well done Jennifer, I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Being left at the altar by your darling husband has to be is bad enough for any woman, you have to face the stares, the whispers,finger pointing and the nasty remarks, all whilst the hero of your dreams is off doing who knows what.  But if he also goes as far as suggesting you get rid of the baby your caring I say push the idiot off a cliff and run as far as you can, for he will never be worth it.

In this very sweet and sensual read from Jennifer Faye this is the situation our heroine Meghan faces, but to make it a whole lot worse she is a celebrity chef so the focus on her non marriage is far worse than for the ordinary woman out there.

She thankfully uses her good sense and takes off running. She lands up in the arms of I'll-make-you-hot-with -just-a-smile Cash. 

Their relationship develops very nicely on a friendship and romantic level, but if he will let her stick around when she drops the pregnancy bombshell is a bit of a hit and miss as anything can happen. Will it be her ex all over again, is she bound for a lifetime of heartache of will the rancher come to her rescue?

The character of Meghan was great and I felt sorry for her being pregnant and alone, I felt worse for her than I would a non famous character, as it seems so much worse when you not only have a few eyes starting your way but the whole world.  I adored that the author gave her courage to face it, not as much as I would have liked, but yes she was still strong and that counted. 

The character of Cash was simply dreamy! He is so kind and considerate that it melted my heart and I would instantly grab the opportunity to snag this man's heart if given the chance. I totally loved that he picks up on what Meghan needs and goes for the win to help her get there. 

The fact that the author gave Cash a background of a celebrity status going too far in the public eye was truly great, it brought him down to Meghan's level and left a entire world of possibilities for this couple.

The backdrop settings were sweet and sensual, giving the read the perfect where love blossoms feel. I am taking away a message of "When life seems bleak, the grass on the other side is truly greener, for as hopeless as it might seem, take a moment,  step back and you will find the answer is already there waiting for you"

I recommend this read for readers looking for a sweet, sensual and kind hearted read filled with new beginnings arising from old hurt and past failures.

Rancher to the Rescue
Jennifer Faye

I adored Rancher to the Rescue and came away thinking to myself why on earth don't I read more books with Cowboys as the Heroes?!?

Where do I begin with what I really loved about this book?  I think the start would be a fantastic place.   If the first chapter can draw me in i'm hooked, I cant put a book down if the opening is great.  Rancher to the Rescue had the best opening! We meet celebrity-chef Meghan Finnegan fleeing from the church... on her wedding day! And while that's made me sit up, what's fantastic is we're watching it play out from the point of view of Cash (LOVE the name), former rodeo champ, who has a very cynical view on the whole idea of marriage.  Is Cash in the right place at the wrong time or the wrong place at the right time?

Meghan flee's the scene with the help of a startled Cash, a gentleman at heart who kindly offers Meghan a place to stay at his homestead while she sorts her self out.  I really admire authors who take the standard story and add a spin on it to change things up and that's what Jennifer Faye has done with Rancher to the Rescue.  Meghan is pregnant to her ex-fiancee, not that Cash knows that to begin with.

There's so many little things about this story that I loved that all added up to equal one great book for me.  Cash Sullivan is just devine and the way he's written has me seriously wondering why I don't read the cowboy books more.  He's hot, which is a given but it's the way he rises to the challenges in his way and the way he faces each situation as they come along.  He adores his grandma and he opens his home to a lady in need but not because he wants to get with her but because he genuinely wants to help Meghan.

A special mention goes out to Cash's Grandma... she's adorable in every way and added value to the story.

This is Jennifer's first book for Harlequin and I'll be putting her on my list of new authors to keep an eye on because Rancher to the Rescue was a real winner in my eyes!  It was funny, heart-warming, exciting and full of gorgeous settings with wonderful characters and I was completely lost within the story while I read it in the weekend.

Loved it!

She was the perfect bride, the TV celebrity chef who was  about to have the perfect wedding, to be broadcasted on television.  As she reached the altar, the groom informed her that he neither wanted her nor their unborn child.  She bolted from the Church in shock and horror and encounters....no, not exactly a knight in shining armor on a white horse, more like a cowboy with a pickup truck.  But it was enough to get her away from the humiliating scene while her 'jilted' bridegroom confessed ignorance to the assembled paparazzi as to to the reason why she'd run away.  Rancher Cash Sullivan offers Meghan Finnegan a way out of an embarrassing scene and a quiet place to recuperate while she gets her life together.  And oh, so slowly, the two start to care for each other.  But deep down, Cash knows they have no future.  The ghosts from his past, ghosts of violence and alcoholism, make him unfit to be a husband and a father.  The best he can do for his beloved is help her get a new job, far away from him so she can start a new life.  Meghan, however, takes this all a little differently than he'd have thought.

It makes you wonder who's doing the rescuing around here!

RANCHER TO THE RESCUE is the debut novel from Jennifer Faye, a Harlequin Mills and Boon Romance release  and it's a worthy debut.  She's served us up a love story which fairly sizzles with sexual tension while keeping intimate details off the page. A love story which reiterates the message that the healing power of love can help people to throw off the shadows of the past and look forward to a bright future full of love and hope.  Sure, isn't that what everyone wants?  I'll take that message no problem.  I recommend this book to readers of romance fiction everywhere and to those who just like a good, old fashioned love story.
