TALES FROM THE TREASURE TROVE: VOLUME 1

5 Angels!

"These talented authors have managed to compile a collection of contemporary, paranormal, suspense, western, and futuristic tales that all have one thing in common, romance. Whether down the road, on an unknown planet, or in the past; these stories come to life with characters that have a love to find. The use of jewels as an additional element to differentiate each story and yet provide a consistent theme for the complete anthology was exceptional. It was an added lure to an already outstanding read to see how each author would incorporate her "jewel". TALES FROM THE TREASURE TROVE: Jewels of the Quill Anthology Volume 1 is not to be missed and has this reviewer anticipating the next offering from the dames from Jewels of the Quill."

"TALES FROM THE TREASURE TROVE, Volume I, A Jewels of the Quill Anthology is a glowing romance grouping with eclectic stories connected to gemstones. Also, enjoy the sparkling secondary characters like the aunts, grandmothers and housemates. Each story samples the author's genre and there is a little bit of everything in the pages. No two people are going to enjoy this book in the same way and the reader should enjoy the stories that are not their usual style."

"Each of these stories is different; very enjoyable reading. Romance, mystery, there is both in each story where something needs to be resolved before one can move on. An excellent mix of characters and plots."

Overall rating: 4 Hearts!
Sensuality rating: Sweet!

"The story collection works well together because the strengths and surprises of the main characters are very parallel. I liked the writing because the stories flow and you move through them quickly. I gave this anthology a 4 rating because of the quality of the writing and also because the characters are like people I know. I gave this anthology a sweet sensuality rating because the stories are written in a manner that leaves out explicit details of the relationships so your imagination can fill in the details of where the relationships are going. Each of the stories has a pair of main characters that also have an enjoyment of life factor that really enhances the story."

TREASURES OF THE HEART

5 Hearts!

"TREASURES OF THE HEART is a cornucopia of moods and emotions that offer the reader a smorgasbord of choices. In each story the characters connect to each other as well as to the reader. Like a banquet where the diner vows to return to more, so the reader will feel about the entire Jewels of the Quill series. Treasures of the Heart is a great place to start and a wonderful introduction to all the Dames."
