THE SECRETS OF MOONLIGHT COVE Excerpt:



from Maggie’s Mystery Man by Barb DeLong:
         
The investigative reporter in Maggie flared to life. She wanted to know the 5 Ws of Mystery Man. Who was he really? What was he doing here? Where was he from? When was he leaving? Why was he so, well, mysterious?



AUTHOR Bios and Links:

Jill Jaynes began her love affair with romance when she was a teenager growing up in Southern California, spending many a late-night under the covers with a flashlight and good romance novel.  Today she writes stories with happy endings her own way--with a dash of magic that means anything can happen. When she’s not writing, you can find her wine-tasting or hiking with her awesome husband, plotting her next story with her writer-daughter or working at her day job in her spare time.



Shauna Roberts writes historical fiction, science fiction, romance, and fantasy and is a graduate of the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop. Her publications include more than a thousand nonfiction articles, three nonfiction books, several short stories, two novelettes, and three novels (Like Mayflies in a Stream, historical fiction, 2009; Claimed by the Enemy, historical fiction with romantic elements, 2014; and Ice Magic, Fire Magic, fantasy with romantic elements, 2015).


A.G. Reid developed a love for romance novels while serving in the military. It helped keep him grounded. He now writes romantic stories with a paranormal twist. Enjoy his short story Mr. Valentine Comes to Town in the romance anthology, Secrets Of Moonlight Cove.


Barb DeLong loves all things romance, animals and light-hearted, so she combines the three into her contemporary and paranormal stories. She has published a short story in Romancing the Pages anthology, Secrets of Moonlight Cove anthology, and is currently working on another short story plus a three-book paranormal romance series.


Janna Roznos writes about the middle-ages: middle-aged women that is! Second chances, life changes and starting over are themes she continues to explore in her writing. Her short story, Second Time Around for Secrets of Moonlight Cove is her first published work.


Kathleen Rowland is devoted to giving her readers fast-paced, high-stakes suspense with a sizzling love story sure to melt their hearts.  Some are sweet: Lily’s Pad within the Secrets of Moonlight Cove anthology, but a sizzling hot example is Deadly Alliance from Tirgearr Publishing. 


MY REVIEW OF THE SECRETS OF MOONLIGHT COVE

These six stories are a clever cross-section of the romance genre. Although some stories captured my interest more than others, I enjoyed each of them. My favorite was Lily’s Pad, but Maggie’s Mystery Man was a close second, possibly because I used to work for a newspaper. In fact, I believe readers will enjoy this anthology no matter what their usual choice of romance.
Once Upon a Love Letter and Second Time Around are charming stories. I was not as big a fan of Mr. Valentine Comes To Town, but that is a personal choice and not because there was anything wrong with the story that opens and closes the anthology. Surprise Deliveries told me a little more detail than I wanted to know about jewelry making, but the story was good. All in all, I give the anthology 5 stars. The anthology left me wishing I could travel to Moonlight Cove for my own vacation.
