Review of The Highlander's Christmas Lassie - by Anna Campbell

Anna Campbell’s The Highlander’s Christmas Lassie is a heartfelt, romantic tale which will warm your heart!

Malcom Innes is the heart and soul of this story. Sweethearts Malcom and Rhona Macleod were separated by Malcom’s powerful father when Rhona learned she was carrying Malcom’s child. Malcom has devoted the past 18 years searching them. He scoured the Scottish Highlands, combed the streets of London and spent a year in America looking for his family.

Anna Campbell has created a hero that drew me into this story immediately. I was captivated by the characters and their heartbreaking story. Malcom devoted his life to searching for his family as he believed in his heart that Rhona and is child were alive. He never married as Rhona held his heart. Malcom is the man every romance reader dreams about. Can you imagine a love so strong, so enduring?

Ms. Campbell’s descriptive voice lends itself perfectly to this deeply romantic, passionate story. She weaves the themes of passion, forgiveness, love and hope seamlessly throughout the novel.The characters conversations are poignant and honest. I loved that a tip from a friend has Malcom traveling during a snowstorm Christmas Eve. His determination and faith are a huge part of this superbly written Christmas romance.

I highly recommend The Highlander’s Christmas Lassie! It has all the feels-a devoted hero, heartfelt storyline and a love so strong that will make you believe in Christmas miracles.

A Pirate for Christmas by Anna Campbell

A Pirate for Christmas

by Anna Campbell

 

Bess Farrar knows her place. She knows what needs to be

done. Who should do it. And how. Bess has been writing to

the new Earl of Channing but receiving no response. She

finally decides she can only take action, face to face.

 



The new Earl of Channing finds himself taking over the

household after his brother dies. Scotsman Rory Beatman

barely knew his brother. When he arrives to take over as

Earl, there are wild rumors about his past. So he has much

to deal with and learn.

 

 

 

"This woman was meant for him. He

wasn't sure yet what he felt about it, but the

conclusion was inescapable."

 

A Pirate for Christmas is a fun and romantic

Christmas story. It's a novella. But it

did not feel that way as I was reading it.

Often times, writers rush the ending when

writing a short story. But Anna Campbell

did not do so here. It is a happy ending

with much Christmas spirit.

The characters are fun and not so easily

predictable for a short story.

If you are looking for a quick read, I

recommend this one.

The Seduction of Lord Stone--The Dashing Widows Book One -- by AnnaCampbell.

Anna Campbell introduces the Dashing Widows; Lady Caroline Beaumont, Lady Fenella Deerham and Helena, Countess of Crewe in her new novella The Seduction of Lord Stone. The friends make plans to have fun, drink champagne and flirt with handsome men when their mourning period ends. They want to be dashing widows, not secluded woman. Caroline is  looking forward to her new life.  She has no plans to remarry, in fact she is planning on having an affair.

"Silas, I've been thinking about our conversation last night."

So, devil take her, had he."You've reconsidered taking a lover?"

A faint frown appeared between her brows. "No, of course not."

"Oh," he said glumly.

"This isn't a whim. I've thought long and hard about my plans." It was her turn to sound glum."The world leaves widows a lot of time to think. I've had more than a year to mull over my intentions."

He'd spent a year mulling his intentions, too. He'd been planning a journey down the aisle. She'd been planning a progress from one lucky sod's bed to the next. The most galling element was that she seemed ready to consider any fool in London as a potential lover. Except for one Silas Nash.

It was enough to drive a fellow stark, staring mad.

The Seduction of Lord Stone is a fabulous friends to lovers story. Loved Caroline and her hero Lord Stone, Silas Nash. Silas is Helena's brother and he has been waiting for Caroline to finish mourning her husband. He is in love with her. There is one slight problem, Silas is Caroline's trusted friend. She doesn't  see him as a lover.

Anna Campbell is known for her well crafted characters and intricately woven story lines. I loved that Caroline asks Silas for advice in choosing her lover.  The banter between Caroline and Silas is fabulous and laugh out loud funny especially when she asks Silas detailed questions about each one of his friends. I felt so bad for Silas!  His replies to Caroline's questions were hilarious!!  Silas wasn't going to let Caroline become involved with any of his friends!! Caroline considered all of Silas' friends as potential lovers and never thought of him! I enjoyed that the author chose to have Silas go to great lengths to convince Caroline that he loved her as it made the reader root for their romance to happen! 

Anna Campbell is one of my favorite authors because her stories are filled with lots of humor and romance. I read this novella in one day. I was invested in the couple's story, loved their back and forth banter and enjoyed how their romance evolved. It's a perfect read for a cozy fall evening. I am looking forward to the next novel in the series.

Her Christmas Earl--A Regency Novella ---Anna Campbell

I have read several holiday novellas by Anna Campbell. Each one has been very sweet and romantic. Ms. Campbell's Her Christmas Earl is a sensuous story set during the holiday season.

It's Christmas Eve, Phillipa Sanders is searching Lord Erskine's room for an incriminating letter written by her sister, Amelia. Her sister has recently become engaged and Phillpa feels that Erskine may use the letter to blackmail her sister.

The dressing room door jerked open, unbalancing her. She only just saved herself from tumbling to the floor in an undignified heap. As she stared up at the looming figure above her, panic hammered through her, turning her blood to ice.

"What have we here?" The Scottish burr in the deep drawl brushed across her nerves as sandpaper.

Is Amelia scheming to trap Lord Erskine into marriage?
Does the charming handsome Scottish Lord wriggle his way out of this situation?
Spend a few hours reading this novella as all will be revealed.
