Michelle Griep is one of my favorite authors.  I love the way she weaves words together that draw me in so quickly and make me feel like part of the story.  Each of these stories are novella length but felt well developed and full.  I loved them all but I think that The Gentleman Smuggler's Lady might be my favorite.  Helen and Issac's first meet was fantastic.  It makes me smile just thinking about it.

You honestly cannot go wrong with this book.  Read them all at once, or one at a time.  Either way you will find a bit of happy for your day.

Content:  mild peril, kissing
