She's sent to the sleepy little town of Port Fare, New York to help turn Chloe's dreams into a reality. As secrets are revealed, Ciel soon learns that things are not as simple as they seem. What an amazingly fun story to start this book with! The humor on page one pulls you and and gloriously sets up the plot...and wait until you read how Ciel died...you will giggle over that for a long time :) Friendships are formed, good times are had, and a prayer is answered. SO GOOD!

A Wish in Her Hand, by Amberlee Day
Professor Miri Keeler's life is perfect, and she knows just the sort of man she wants to share it with. When she meets a genie who's willing to grant her a favor, she uses her wish to get the attention of her crush, poet Jamison Arbor. But has the genie's magic missed its target? Miri suddenly has the attention of not only Jamison, but also of Alex, an attractive maintenance man. How will she know which is the right match for her, or what's real and what's magic? Absolutely adored this one! LOVE how the magic is passed on :) She has two men after her and she is conscious of not wanting to look like being a player so she has to choose just one...but did she choose the right one?

Reality Ever After, by Cami Checketts
Pregnant at eighteen, Sydney Richland's happily ever after is in serious peril. Her grandmother's ghost can work miracles, but she also might ruin Sydney's chances with the man of her dreams. This book just continues to get better with each story! While the first two stories are lighthearted and fun this one is AMAZINGLY tender. A mistake was made...one that would change their future. But when all doesn't go as planned Sydney has second thoughts. Her guardian angel grandmother can't give her any answers, but she is close by and always brings with her a comfort that Sydney needs. A GREAT, GREAT, GREAT story!

Prom Diaries, by Taylor Hart
Sixteen-year-old Lacy O'Donnell discovers her best friend has cast a spell, putting everyone in a time loop, forcing them to relive the same four days before prom over and over. The good thing--Lacy doesn't remember the loop. The bad thing--Drake Davis, the guy she's been stalking, does. Only true love's kiss can break the spell, but true love's kiss has to happen at a precise moment. It's not exact science...it's exact magic. This box set has the BEST stories! In Prom Diaries you will read along and be so enjoying the story and then this FABULOUS twist hits and the creativeness endears you even more. You will be SO GLAD this didn't happen to you, but will SO ENJOY watching it happen to them :)

What If Wish, by Lucy McConnell
Morana is doomed to a life cataloging spells deep below the palace unless she can make her magic bloom. If her deepest wish comes true, it would open up all sorts of possibilities. The whispers that she was a fluke of nature would hush. The King would stop stalking her. Her parents would no longer live under a cloud of shame. And, Adam could look at her as more than a friend. Despite the promises magic holds, Morana will quickly learn that the thing she wishes for most, could quickly be her undoing. What a PERFECT way to end a series of love and magic than with this story about a fairy who is a late bloomer. You will be whisked away into a land of enchantment as Morana tries to figure out just what type of fairy she is. Wonderfully written! You will really enjoy this one!

This box set is WONDERFUL!
Fun, creative, fun, magical, fun stories!
I LOVED every one of them!
This is a must-read!

Amberlee Day
Hi, I'm Amberlee Day. I love romantic novels and movies, but I don't need those steamy scenes. How do you keep a clean romance interesting? Make it fun! Romance and humor make an irresistible combination. Don't believe me? Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is both beautiful and hilarious, and I think she's the authority on romantic novels. The end. I live in an evergreen forest in Washington state, where I love roaming the woods and exploring the beaches. Many of my stories are set in the Pacific Northwest, because all this beauty sets my imagination flying. I love pizza more than I can say without slipping into Italian, or Elvish. I believe there will be chocolate and puppies in heaven. Also books, because what would heaven be without a library? My husband and I share our forest home with five kids, two dogs, and a carpet that we won't bother replacing until at least one of those numbers change.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cup egg whites (10-12 large eggs)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup flour
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 ounces milk chocolate, shredded
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions
Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a metal mixing bowl. Beat until stiff peaks form and the whites are glossy. Add the vanilla and beat well.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, powdered sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and shredded chocolate. Fold 1/2 cup of the powdered mixture into the egg whites. Repeat until all the flour mixture is incorporated into the eggs.

Pour batter into a non-stick angel food cake or bunt cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 -35 minutes or until cake springs back. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert the pan onto a funnel or cup and allow to cool for 2 hours. Remove the cake from the pan and serve with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
