Where There's Smoke - I found this book to be
very interesting. I was very worried about the length of Where
There's Smoke but it was intriguing. Patti Shenberger handles
the whole situation in a way that takes out all of the stuff
that doesn't need to be in a romance and made this one a great
read. Ms Shenberger gets a four angel review and my promise to
check out more books from The Wild Rose Press. Missy -
Fallen Angel Reviews
Every woman’s nightmare…
Cassie has made yet another meal for her partner, David, and he hasn’t shown up. Angry that once again he has let her down, she rings his private number. Upset after the phone call, Cassie forgets the dinner is in the oven. Fireman Martin arrives to put out the fire.
Unable to get Cassie’s situation out of his mind, Martin visits the next day. And so does David…
David is an insufferable pig—highly evident in this mini e-book. He has such audacity! Cassie is able to see him for what he really is.
Where There’s Smoke may be a mini-read, but it says so much more than the words on the pages. I could imagine Cassie’s anger at the start, her desolation after the phone call, and her smug satisfaction at the end. Go Cassie!

Patti Schenberger creates one beautiful and terribly romantic short story in her book entitled Be My Valentine. I could see her love in this work, yet although there was no sex in it to get you weak-kneed, it still touched my heart enough that I didn’t miss the physical element. To think that these two were in school together and attracted to each other but were afraid of making the first move brought back memories. Be My Valentine was a good read. I'm glad that I read it and think that you will be too!

A Miracle Through Time reminds me of an old time movie that
spins love inside the heart while keeping fingers crossed that
the two lovers will unite and stay together. With fantastic
dialogue and unforgettable characters, this story is superb in
every way. There were many times I felt as if I had stepped back
into time with Miri. The vibrant surroundings draw in the reader
on a riverboat escapade that is marvelous. These two lovers
leave a wonderful impression on the reader. Patti Shenberger
details an extraordinary tale that is richly extravagant and
loaded in sweet passion for Miri and Matt. She pens a story that
makes this reader wish she could hop aboard the River Maiden
every day and take a romantic cruise with charming Matt.

A Miracle Through Time - The author has written the ultimate time travel romance. As you read this story, you will feel like you are living the excitement of the riverboat gambling days of the 1800's. You can almost feel the paddlewheels churning up the frothy river water and the sound of the steam powering the boat. Watching how Miri adjusts to life in the past, where there are so many modern convenience in the future will keep you turning the pages. The passion between Matt & Miri builds to an exciting climax with a shocking twist that will make you want to read more from this author. Sherry - MyBookCravings.com
This was a thoroughly enjoyable read! Factually sound, there were enough humorously light moments to hold this reader's interest. The author created characters that are strong and vibrant, each stood out with their own traits and quirks, making them unique. Although this was definitely Miri and Matt's story, Jake and Elizabeth were equally strong characters. I particularly like the twist on the last page that spins on its head all I expected would happen in Elizabeth's love life. Overall, this is a very well written story bringing the author's skill with words to the fore. Caro - Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance
A very well written story bringing the author's skill with words to the fore...characters that are strong and vibrant. Margaret Carroll - The True Match - Avalon Books

"An unusual beginning, unheard of in the
"traditional" romances. Ms. Brian skillfully weaves a tale of a
heartbroken man and a woman who taught him how to love again.
Unlike most e-books, Womb for Rent has changed the way
e-books are looked at today. As the name implies, this is a
precious story you do not want to miss." 4-1/2 Hearts!
ROMANCE INDUSTRY NEWSLETTER
"Ms. Brian took two headstrong people and
added in a baby. The combination could only spell L-O-V-E.
Womb for Rent is a story of sadness and laughter mixed in
with a healthy dose of love. As a reviewer, my only
recommendation is to order this story today."

Shenberger takes us on an wildly fun and emotional ride in this
contemporary, heartfelt romance.
Soap actress Francesca "Frankie" Canfield flippantly lands
herself in some hot water while trying to drum up some ratings.
The 'love of her life' is none to pleased with her antics,
especially since he isn't!
Frankie is used to being top of the grapevine, where hounding
press and calls for interviews are just tokens of success. It's
a very different story for her victim, and a more personal level
of attention she gains from the small home-town crowd that is so
interested in this affair, however. The plot twists until the
jokes on her; because it was gossip that kicked off her own
career, and had one or two other effects, as well.
From sitting down for a chat with Regis to dating Geraldo, a
starlet's life is never dull.
Life in the fast lane (and in the slow lane next it, too) was
never so fun.

Though this story was novella in length, the author brings about a moving, emotional tale with fully drawn characters. Writing shorter lengths can be tricky but Ms. Shenberger has mastered it wonderfully. As I read this book, I kept thinking it reminded me of the old black and white movie from the ‘40’s, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. And as I checked the author’s website, she too had this in mind. If you enjoy paranormal stories and a sexy, ghostly hero, you really should give this one a try.
