An Unintended Journey:I recently became a fan of Catherine Gayle's after reading The Lord Rotheby's Influence series, however this story fell flat for me. I used to say that I'd never read or enjoy short stories because I'm huge on character development in everything I read. This seemed to have very limited character development and it was even lacking in the romance department. Sadly I can only give this individual story two stars. It gets two because while there really wasn't much there for me, at least it was well written.A Caribbean Jewel For Christmas:Much better for character development, I loved how strong Jewel was and how determined Rand was, and their stories were both excellent. It was a very adventurous romance and it was very romantic too, it wasn't just lust, I felt that they really cared for one another as well as lusting after each other. Overall I can only give it 4 stars because there were some errors.Winning A Lady's Heart:A sweet story, but nothing to rave about. Lacking in character development, as in the first but without the errors of the second. Four stars is generous.A Summons From The castle:Overall three stars is generous. I was disappointed, I've read collections with far superior writing for two dollars less. I was not pleased, as Christmas stories they didn't seem all that Christmassy the only thing Christmas about them is that they take place at Christmas time, that's it! There's nothing horribly wrong with it, but I was not impressed. If any ONE of the stories intrigues you, you might be better off to buy them individually.
