JEWELS OF HISTORICAL ROMANCE is a wonderful collection of favorite scenes from some of the best writers of the genre.  Each has their own writing style and preferred settings and themes, but they share a talent of being able to lose a reader in a magical world full of romance like none other.  Every one of their eloquently written books, like the authors themselves, is indeed a precious jewel on its own merit, and this collection of some of their favorite scenes is like finding a chest bursting at the seams with sparkling jewels on a swashbuckling pirate's secluded beach--or a claymore-wielding, plaid-wrapped Highlander's torch-lit cave --or in a rakish duke's tumbledown estate's secret passageway.  You get the picture.  :)The best part about this collection is that it can be a key to unlocking a wonderful new world of great reading.  If you've never read any of these authors before, there isn't a better introduction to them than to turn through the pages of this collection of delightful scenes.  If you don't find at least one author that you just HAVE to download as a result, I'll be shocked beyond belief.  And if you enjoy one of these authors, it is very likely indeed that you will enjoy reading the others as well.  I've made the web page listing these "Jewels" my personal reading list of a sort, and can say without a doubt that I've never found any of them less than a stunningly fantastic and utterly memorable read.  They are in my Kindle's "keeper" collection most certainly.Since it's almost Valentine's Day, treat yourself to this sweet treat.  It's like giving yourself a 5-pound sampler of the finest Godiva chocolates....only these delicious tales won't go to your hips.
