Seth Colt had a trust fund set up for him to obtain on his thirty-fifth birthday, which happens to be Christmas day. In order to get that money, the stipulation is that he must be married. With no prospects in sight, Seth sets up a temporary marriage contract with Faith Timmons. They will be married long enough for him to collect the trust fun and then get a quick divorce. The problem he’s facing is that he has fallen madly in love with his new bride.

Faith goes to a job interview and is shocked when she is offered a marriage contract instead of a job. Since the terms of the contract are no sex and a million dollar payout when they divorce, she jumps at the opportunity. However, no matter how hard she tries to push the sexy rogue away, he remains vigilant in his pursuit of her.

Review:
Aww....Geez- Burt the good neighbor to the rescue- lol. What a fabulous tale of love, holiday magic and a vibrant sexual connection. Dunn leaves no stone unturned in her holiday romance. From the way she perfectly describes Faith's down-on-her-luck life to how love can conquer all.

One tiny part/event I would have to argue is how easily Faith accepts the 'marriage proposal/contract' when Seth arrives at her apartment not an hour before she stormed from his office in a glory of rage. Aside from that (which I soon forgot as l got lost in Dunn's story-telling ways) I thoroughly enjoyed Despite the obvious physical attraction (thinking of Seth private moment in the back of his limo), Dunn crafts a very believable link between the duo. Seth's thoughtfulness and Faith's shyness (in the beginning) is priceless.

This is the first book I have indulged myself in of Dunn, and it will NOT be the last. I loved the way Dunn created the premise of the story and the connection of the characters.

Rand Bartlett, tall, dark and a loner, is not a man to be reckoned with – but tell that to Darci Hart. According to Rand , Darci would try the patience of a saint.

After a one-night stand, Darci finds herself pregnant. Rand, a loner, wants to marry Darci, but she has other plans – and they don’t include Rand. Despite all of Darci's attempts to keep Rand out of the picture, his persistence pays off. It's a love-hate relationship that keeps Rand and Darci on their toes.

Review:
Wow, wow and more wow. This is a romance novel and yet features no actual description of intercourse at all. Dawne Prochilo is a true master of the romance genre. It has been some time for me to read a straight romance that was not only gripping but filled with chemistry and everything wonderful that makes up On Her Own.

Rand Bartlett gets Darci Hart pregnant through a one night stand. Rand doesn’t want to be in the background, he wants to give his child a name and be a proper father to his baby. I found him annoyingly adorable. I would have loved to see him fight a little more but the way he allows Darci her space and through his you see his true love for her, magical.

Darci is so confused and pregnant. She doesn’t want Rand to feel like he should marry her out of duty. She wants love.

For me this story was amazing, wonderful and all the great emotions a true romance story should evoke.

Dawne Prochilo is a wonderful writer and On Her Own is certainly a keeper.

How many of us have wished we could turn back the clock? Go back to one specific time that would change our lives forever and it would be exactly how we wanted it. Brynn Saunders has wished that for over two decades and while she can't change her life, a strange twist of fate is giving her a second chance at her one true love. Best friends Ethan Miller and Brynn have loved each other unconditionally since high school and while their lives were entwined early, they never shared the intimacy they felt for the other. After an abusive marriage for Brynn and a loveless marriage for Ethan, they've reconnected twenty four years later and are acting upon what they never had the chance to do years ago

Review:
When We Meet Again by Dawne Prochilo, was an emotional story that had me in tears by the end. For the first time ever reading a romance book, I wondered if the main characters would ever be with each other.

I was addicted to this read from the start and I did not want it to end and when a story does that to me I know it is a keeper. When We Meet Again, will make you want to laugh, cry, get angry and become deeply attached to the characters.

A fantastic read and one I would highly recommend.
