I enjoyed reading the story The Player by Jacquie Biggar. It is a story that had me laughing at times and then there are moments where you want to say “Aww.” I loved the two main characters. From the back and forth bantering to the feelings of romance that was totally unexpected. There are moments that you wonder what is going to happen next.

The author does an amazing job of making a story that is both romantic and entertaining. It is a story that you don’t want to miss out on reading.

The stories were so romantic and very enjoyable- each one individual to its author- but all revolve around the same theme- which is “Irresistible Valentine”- celebrating everything we love about romance. The stories range from delightful and sweet, to spicy and suspenseful.
With plenty to capture and hold your attention, the stories are:

This is well worth the read to find out! Will Cupid find a way to their hearts? Such a great read and definitely one of my favourites of this collection.
A Little Change of Plans (The Saints of San Diego) By: Suzanne Jenkins
I love the Saint’s, so getting to read another story in the series is always a winner in my eyes. This follows second youngest brother, Jake Saint- and I loved following along for the ride. He and Geri were so great together- and the clever way Ms. Jenkins wove her story certainly had me hook, line and sinker! Sublime!
All Night Long (Kiss the Bride Book 2) By: Cynthia Cooke
A wonderful ‘fake fiancé’ romance, with lots of snow, a picturesque ski village, a loveable Saint Bernard, a snowy rescue, and plenty of fun- making this a memorable read. Beau hatches a plan to secure his future- he just needs a ‘fiancée’ to seal the deal- and he think Phoebe is just the right girl to pull it off. A funny, light-hearted, and engaging story. So much fun to read.
Never Lovers (The Rocklyns) By: Alicia Street
A bit of a “Runaway Bride” vibe to this story- with a bit of a twist. Emotive and very romantic- true love always finds a way! A great little read!
The Player (Men of Warhawks Book 2) By: Jacquie Biggar
This is about finding love unexpectedly. When a crazy, stalker ex gets Roy sidelined from his beloved NHL- the only way to get back in the game is to allow sexy PA, Patience Kennedy, to help. With her PR know-how she’ll have him back in the game in no time. Right? I really loved this story- and would have loved an even longer version of it, so I could really immerse myself in the story. I can always count on Ms. Biggar to deliver the goods!
Unexpected Packages (The Unexpected Series Book 1) By: Stacy Eaton
After a parcel mix up brings Alex to Lexi’s doorstep- things are about to get interesting! This one snuck under my skin much more than I had anticipated. I loved how well this was written, and the wonderful ‘feel-good’ vibe that I got from the story. The characters were very endearing- and I would love to read more of their story

What happens when a pastry chef and an Olympic Skier connect in the romantic, small town of Serendipity? You really should read this enjoyable story and find out for yourself! It’s well worth your time!
Thank you to all the contributing authors!
This is a great collection of romance stories from different authors.
My 2 favourites are Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance by Tamara Furguson and The Player by Jacquie Biggar. Two completely different stories but full of romance.
In Two Hearts we meet Harry and Eve. Both of them have come from very abusive backgrounds and they meet when Eve helps Harry rescue his dog and the puppies. After seeing signs of abuse Eve’s mum steps in and helps to get Harry and his foster sister Amy away from their abusive home. Both of them have troubled and abusive pasts but they are drawn together. Until their lives take them on different paths and they lose touch.
But they meet up again as adults and the connection is still there.
Its an emotional moving story about child abuse and neglect and how these impact not only the child’s relationships as they are children but it lasts through adulthood.
The Player is another good story but this one is a big more light hearted. World famous Ice Hockey star Rory is being harrassed by his ex who is spreading rumours about him and trying to ruin his reputation and his career. To help with his image to the public they hire PR Patience. This story will have you laughing at the things Rory gets up to. He seems to know how to push Patience buttons which along with his ex is making Patience’s job a lot harder. Can Patience get his career and reputation bk on track or will his ex stop any efforts she makes.

5 of 5 Stars
“Celebrate the season of love”.
These romantic stories range from fun and flirty to semi-sweet and suspenseful. I enjoyed all the stories in this anthology and was introduced to some new authors as well as some old favourites. I particularly liked ‘Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance’ by Tamara Ferguson, Eve Loughlin and Harry Giordano are teenage survivors and are drawn to each other from the first time they meet. The chemistry between Eve and Harry sizzled off the page. I fell in love with the characters and liked how they had overcome obstacles and survived. Sadly their careers separated them but the love they shared was strong, can they find their way back to their hearts? Although the story touches on some sensitive issues it is all about love and hope and does have a HEA. No spoilers, I recommend the story to find out.
The other story which stood out was by Jacquie Biggar, ‘The Player’, this is book 2 of Biggar’s, ‘ Men of Warhawkes’ series about a successful NHL Hockey team. Defenceman Roy Donaldson lives and breathes hockey so when an ex girlfriend turned stalker causes trouble for the team he is not happy. He’s even less impressed when he gets benched and so turns to PA Patience Kennedy for help. In order for Patience to receive a junior partnership she must restore Roy’s reputation, however she thinks Roy is moody and annoying, oh, and very attractive. Roy thinks Patience is sexy but sassy. The chemistry between them shows from their first meeting and grows each time they are together resulting in some steamy scenes. I loved the characters and the storyline flowed nicely.
‘A Little Change of Plans’ by Suzanne Jenkins had lovely characters and a great storyline, Jake falls in love at first sight when he meets rookie firefighter Geri. ‘All Night Long’ by Cynthia Cooke had a unique storyline featuring a Valentine’s party, a fake engagement and a St. Bernard coming to the rescue on a snowy mountain, ending in romance. Susan Jean Ricci’s ‘First Class Flirtation’ features two strangers during a cross-country flight and a argument which leads to a passionate infatuation. I could go on as I enjoyed all the stories as each one was so different and unique it made this anthology as a whole a fascinating read and gave me hours of entertainment reading the stories. I definitely recommend this book.
Irresistible Valentine was a great 5 start compilation of nine Valentine Romance stories and the third installment in the Irresistible Romance series.
Two Hearts Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson is about Eve and Harry. We get another great story written around Crystal Rock where these two grew up together. We go past to present as we get the back story. Can these two find their love again now that they are back in Crystal Rock?
The Player by Jacquie Biggar tells Roy’s story. Roy is a hockey player that has someone stalking him and causing bad PR for him. Patience is introduced into the story as a PR person, she is hired to help Roy. As these two spend more time together the closer they become. Will these two end up together and get a HEA? I would love more from these two.
Overall I really enjoyed all of the stories in the series. I was introduced to a couple of new authors and plan to read more from them. This collection has something for everyone to enjoy. You can read a story here and there without having to commit to reading the whole book in one sitting. Thank you to all the great authors for all the stories, I suggest 1-clicking and getting started today.

My two favorites were the selections from Biggar and Ferguson. But all of them just were truly fantastic stories that I enjoyed immensely. If you love love and love a good love story, this anthology is a must read.
IRRESISTIBLE VALENTINE is a sweet and fun romance anthology from so many wonderful authors you really can’t go wrong! I have loved reading several of these ladies for quite some time but and delighted that I have also had the chance to discover a few new ones to love. I mainly scooped this up for the Two Hearts inclusion from Tamara Ferguson so that will be my in depth review below but the others were just as fabulous to read and I look forward to finishing out the last few novels included soon! Anthologies always make the season going on around me that much more special and often make great gifts. I found myself enamored enough to gift a few of these this love season of Valentines. Hope you find some love as you read as well!

This anthology series offers the reader eight beautiful and steamy stories. These stories will be fun, charming, flirty and grips the reader. In this witty, whimsical page-turner, it’s filled with wonderful characters. It’s so romantic and some may be tear jerking stories. These stories are original and steamy scenes that’ll peak your interest. Inspirational and unpredictable, this book will have you encouraged and motivated all at the same time.
In the first story, we meet two characters drifted apart by the raptures of their lives trials and tribulations. The second story follows the next two characters as they attempt to break down walls and one invites the other in. The third is about a love at first sight story between two other characters.
Follow this book as you explore each story in delight as love unfolds in each. This book is like a short film where the characters are all connected but not really connected. This book will have you believing in love and romance all over again.
Two hearts reconnaissance was a great read. And I loved how after everything Harry and Eve had been through in their lives that they were able to find themselves and each other throughout this book. Amy and Issy were so adorable. The relationship between Harry and Eve was amazing with their connection and the hardships they had to face over the years. I couldn’t picture what happened to them happening to me or my siblings but I loved this so much. And it’s all thanks to Tamara Ferguson. I can’t wait to read more.
The Player was a short book/story that I thought would be the same old story of a girl seeing a really cute hockey player then dating but after getting further into it, I loved it. It involved around the world of a hockey player his PR person and a stalker. Roy and Patience are gonna be a great couple and the connection that had from the start, ooo. But overall great read. Can’t wait to read more by Jacquie Biggar.
I’m going to continue through the rest of this book and see how many more great stories are within.
***3 stars***
Irresistible Valentine (Irresistible Romance Book 3)
Irresistible Valentine, the third book in the Irresistible Romance Anthology series, is a group of 8 romance stories with different themes, each by a different author. The stories I read in this book were good, but I didn’t feel the connection to the characters and story lines like I had hoped. I do enjoy the opportunity to get a sample of “new to me” authors to get to know their writing styles and possibly find new authors to explore. With 8 stories, there’s something for everyone’s tastes.
Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson – The deeper issues covered in the story about foster children is something that can be hard to tackle in both a sensitive and knowledgeable manner. I personally work with foster kids and could tell the author did her homework on the subject. The author was very thorough with describing the feelings and what some foster kids experience when they are younger. The story then jumped to the present day where Eve and Harry are adults in which unexpected circumstances brought back into each other’s lives.The story certainly covered a lot, such as young love, childhood trauma, mystery, romance and crime.
The Player by Jacquie Biggar – If you are a fan of sports themed romances then you would want to read this hockey themed story about a player who’s faced with some career drama as a result of an ex girlfriend and her ongoing obsession with him. To help clean up his reputation a public relations person is hired to work closely with him. There was a lot mixed into this story as well such as crime, suspense, sports, and romance. I only wish there would’ve been more romance in this story.
I give 3 stars overall to this book based off the stories I’ve read and definitely feel that between these stories I’ve mentioned, and the other stories in the book, that every romance lover can find something they’ll enjoy. I didn’t feel a deep connection to the characters or feel sucked into the storylines like maybe I would’ve been if the stories were individually released and expanded on, but I like the variety offered and being able to sample different authors works. I do love seeing different authors takes on love and romance.
IRRESITIBLE VALENTINE Anthology
5 stars!
Yet again another wonderful anthology filled with some amazing stories! I think I have read something by all of these authors previously so it was great to read their work again! I love anthologies as they always have a little bit of something for everyone in them, all different but full of wonderful romance!
Two Hearts Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson
I loved this story! Tamara Ferguson is one of my favourite authors and I have read almost every single one of her books. Eve and Harry’s story was a great read about second chance romance, close friends who lost touch and found their way back to each other. The story was quite emotional at times and as always the author made me feel like I was right there with the characters. With both characters having had such hard childhoods I was rooting for them to both find their happily ever after the hole way through!
The Player by Jacquie Biggar
I’ve read work by Jacquie Biggar before and I love her writing style, I am easily transported in to her story and the lives of her characters. This story definitely had me laughing my way through it! The banter between Roy and Patience certainly kept me entertained from beginning to end; they definitely knew how to rub each other up the wrong way!!
Along with these two stories were some other really great reads and this anthology is definitely one that I would recommend!
This collection is an amazing set of stories all based around love. While each story gets to the happily ever after or Happy for now, they all take different ways to get there.
Something for everyone in this and I will be recommending this collection to many. I initially got this for 2 authors I follow and ended up finding some new to me authors that will now be on my to look out for list.
Irresistible Valentine anthology is a collection of works by some fantastic authors. I have read all of these authors previously and could not wait to get my hands on these stories.
I really enjoyed how these books were all different from each other. They had the same feel and yet there was never a risk of them all “becoming one” as I often find is the issue with anthologies. Each authors voice was distinctive and easy to hear.
The stories were all varied but well developed. There isn’t one that I didn’t like.
This is a great anthology and one that I would recommend.
This is a great anthology full of short stories that will warm your heart and keep you warm on a cold night. This is full of great authors, some new to me and some are my favorites. They are engaging with characters that pop off the pages and into your heart. My favorite is by Tamara Ferguson. It is a story about two teenagers, Eve and Harry, who have overcome so much but now life is taking them in separate directions. Will fate bring them back together? I highly recommend reading this book, I know you will find your favorites like I did.
Irresistible Valentine (Irresistible Romance Book 3). This is an anthology written by nine amazing authors!! I love these types of books!! You get to enjoy different stories and have a chance to find new authors. Two of my favorite books in this anthology were:
Two Hearts Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson. I have read mostly all of Ms. Ferguson’s books and I have loved them all!!! I absolutely love second chance romances. And that is just what Eve and Harry’s book is. This was an emotional story, very good friends, lose touch and years later find their way back to each other. You can’t help but hope for Eve and Harry to find their happiness.
The Player by Jaquie Biggar. I love sports romance stories, so this one was right up my alley. A sexy, hockey player, a crazy, ex-girlfriend and a PR agent….. will his career be saved or will the ex get her way? This one is sure to keep you interested.
IRRESISTIBLE VALENTINE (Irresistible Romance Book 3) this is one of my favorite ways to find new to me authors. I love when they come together and share their love of writing for us readers. Each of these stories brings something unique to the collection I found myself completely lost in each individual story world the authors created. Each one has something different to offer readers and as a whole they all had me completely hooked. The characters are complex and relatable and each storyline is incredible. I love when I can read several short stories that still pack a punch. Each author did a wonderful job of writing stories involving romance and all that we enjoy about it. I did have a few favorites such as Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance, The Player and Unexpected Packages each of these stories captured a piece of my heart. That’s not to ignore all the other great stories because I truly loved each one for different reasons. I’m giving this set a big five star review and highly recommend it. And I can’t wait to find more from these authors. Thank you for coming together for this set!

This is a wonderful anthology full of great stories by amazing authors. Each of these stories give you something different from sweet romance to suspenseful romance, there is something for everyone in this collection. One of my favorite stories is Two Hearts’ Reconnaissance by Tamara Ferguson. I was captivated by this story.

To find out if these two can find their way back to each other after their careers took them on different paths. then this is a must read.
The Player by Jacquie Biggar is another one of my favorites. As a professional hockey player Roy was used to having his pick of women, but then one of those women turns into a stalker. Now he needs help cleaning up his image. Will he settle down and forget his bachelor ways? This story had me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen.
