My Thoughts....

All nine of these anthologies were simply good reading.

From:

How will this story pan out for Allen Wimpleton and Olivia Kingsley? Will
they get a second chance?

Stirring Passions by Maggi Andersen
Interesting read about Laurie and Kat...with lots of twist and turns and in
the end will there be romance for these two?

A Pledge of Passion by Victoria Vane
What will happen when Nicolas Needham falls for Lady Mariah Morehaven when
it seems like someone else may may be interested. What will happen with this romance
as fate plays a helping hand?

What will happen when Alex and Felicity come together? What a interesting ending!

Wanted by the Warrior by Violetta Rand
This one has some paranormal in this romance ...part 1.

A Highwayman's Honor by Michelle McLean
This one is a good historical suspense romance with John and Elizabeth that will keep you on the
edge of your seat.

to

Lord Quickthorn's Bargain by Barbara Monajem....
This was a cute fairy tale story!

I found all of these stories well packed, well written and a fairly complete story leaving the reader wanting to read other stories written by these authors. I found many of the stories were different and so well told. Would I recommend "Passionate Promises?" Yes, especially if you like historical romances that have a little bit of it all. Truly they were all "Passionate Promises!"

Thank you to the author for a gift of the read and giving my honest my opinion of this novel.

Reading this shortened children’s edition once again along with the full version in The Complete Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen. The only real difference is the violence. Here, the old witch is ‘killed’ by the soldier with his sword, the soldier is imprisoned for periodically kidnapping the sleeping princess each night before summoning the three dogs for help who scare the king’s men into fleeing, and the king and queen are ‘seized’ by the dogs who then run away with them, the royals never to be seen again. Whereas in the full version, the witch is beheaded by the soldier with his sword, he’s about to be hanged before summoning help, and the King and Queen – along with the judge and all the council members – are tossed many feet into the air by the dogs, dying when all of their bones are broken upon landing.
