I'm thrilled to report that RT Book Reviews has given each of the books in my new Celebrations, Inc. series FOUR STARS and glowing reviews!
Here's what they have to say:
TEXAS WEDDING - September
2012 (4 stars)
When Sergent Shane Harrison shows up at AJ Sherwood-Antonelli's catering shop, delivering a box of chocolates from a good friend, she is equally startled and intrigued the handsome soldier. Shane and AJ fall in love quickly but, with Shane's sights set on italy after his six-week assignment in Texas is over and AJ not looking too leave the town she feels is home to her, both wonder if their newfound love will laast. A fresh plot with a strong, yet vulnerable hero like Shane at its center, will hook you in. Add a matchmaker to the plot and you have a heartfelt tender story where the romane is felt on every page.
TEXAS MAGIC - October 2012
(4 stars)
Can love begin with a one-night stand? That's what Drew Montgomery and Caroline Coopersmith want to find out, as the two workaholics look to make something out of their sizzling chemistry. But, just when they think happily-ever-after is in their future, Drew discovers something that may put an end to their growing relationship. Thompson's characters shine in this sexy yet sweet story, and thought she veils the risqué love scenes, your imagination won't have any trouble filling in the blanks.
TEXAS CHRISTMAS - November
2012 (4 stars)
Pepper Merrieweather's family's fall from grace right before the holidays means she needs a job, pronto. Rob Macintyre may be a billionaire, but he's never forgotten his simple roots. Past hurts and a disabled son make him mistrustful - until his new employee, a certain fallen society princess, breaks through his barriers. Featuring both new and familiar characters from past tales, Thompson's holiday romance will stay with readers long after the end. Her protagonists are clearly meant for each other from page one, and you'll love how she brings them together.
The first book in my new Special Edition series, Celebrations, Inc., hits the shelves on September 1! The other two books in the series will follow on October 1 and November 1. Here are the covers and a little bit about each of them...
TEXAS WEDDING available September 1, 2012
The groom came…C.O.D.?
Well, maybe not exactly. But just when unlucky-in-love AJ (that's Agnes Jane to you!) had decided that she was going to focus on her career as a caterer and keep her mind off men, that's when fate sent her a delivery she couldn't ignore. In the form of Sergeant Shane Harrison, bearer of French chocolates, and newly arrived for a short-term project. And though clearly the good sergeant was as attracted to the lovely caterer as she was to him, Shane made it clear that when his job was done, he was outta there….
So now AJ has a project of her own—convincing the handsome footloose soldier that though he'd planned to breeze through town on his way to his next adventure, falling in love is the biggest adventure of all!

TEXAS MAGIC available October 1, 2012
If Caroline Coopersmith had her way, she would refuse to run the family firm. She wouldn't put up with her sister's bridezilla antics. She would sign on as Celebrations, Inc.'s full-time pastry chef. And just this once, she would treat herself to something better than Belgian chocolate: a night of bliss with her sister's best man, journalist Drew Montgomery.
For Drew, the foundation of a good story is fact. And when it comes to Caroline, the facts are easy: she makes him feel electrically charged, and he can't stop daydreaming about a future with her. Drew has never believed in love at first sight…until now. If he gives in to Caroline today, will she make room for him in her heart tomorrow?

TEXAS CHRISTMAS available November 1, 2012
All She Wants For Christmas…
Busted! When Pepper Merriweather’s superwealthy daddy is arrested for fraud—and the family fortune is kaput—just before the holidays, Pepper suddenly finds herself in need of a job. Despite her high-society connections, no one wants to give her a chance—no one except gorgeous billionaire recluse Robert Macintyre. When he proposes a position that comes with more strings attached than a symphony orchestra, Pepper knows it’s an offer she should refuse. But beggars can’t be choosers. Besides, Pepper knows she has what it takes to rise to the challenge—but does she have what it takes to keep her hands off her irresistible new boss?

From The Writer's Almanac:
It was on this day in 1925 that F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby was published to mixed reviews.
Fitzgerald knew there was something missing in his novel. He wrote in a letter: "The worst fault in it I think is a BIG FAULT: I gave no account (and had no feeling about or knowledge of) the emotional relations between Gatsby and Daisy from the time of their reunion to the catastrophe."
It didn't sell very well, either. But The Great Gatsby slowly gained popularity, and by the 1960s, it was considered a classic of American literature. Today it is one of the most-taught books in high schools.
