On Her Own by Dawne Prochilo

Summary:

Rand Bartlett, tall, dark and a loner, is not a man to be reckoned with – but tell that to Darci Hart. According to Rand , Darci would try the patience of a saint.

After a one-night stand, Darci finds herself pregnant. Rand, a loner, wants to marry Darci, but she has other plans – and they don’t include Rand. Despite all of Darci's attempts to keep Rand out of the picture, his persistence pays off. It's a love-hate relationship that keeps Rand and Darci on their toes.

Reviewer: Dolce Amore
In my opinion, Ms. Dawne Prochilo took the cliché story line: a man and a woman have a night of passion, she gets pregnant, and they marry… end of the story and added something special.

After Darci Hart accepts a bet from her best friend Ashley and is rescued by Rand Bartlett, she sleeps with him. But after discovering that she's pregnant, she refuses to marry him. She slowly realizes the mistake she made… because she is in love with him.

But before she could do something or accept his proposal, she finds out that there was another woman carrying his baby and Rand is going to marry her!

Ms. Dawne Prochilo did a wonderful job in drawing Darci as a timid and shy young woman… the typical wallflower. She's described like this:

In her mind she was not beautiful. Ugly didn't describe her either, but there were definitely women more beautiful in this world. She wasn’t the type to make men take a second look. No catcalling whistles coming her way.

I think there are a lot of women who see themselves like that.

We see, through the book, how Darci slowly starts to change… having her baby and being in love changes her. I love this character!

I think Rand is not so deep or strong, but the story is based on Darci, which is good. I will give it 4.5 stars and I totally recommend it.

His Holiday Seduction by Dawne Prochilo

Summary:

The holiday season was not going to be “Holly-Jolly” if Dani McPherson had her way. She needed time alone, away from the library…away from men…away from the memory of her broken engagement…with Chad. Hunter Nielsen had his eye on his sexy neighbor for quite some time, although she never seemed to acknowledge his very existence. But now Hunter had a plan, to capture Dani’s heart, it was all part of His Holiday Seduction.

Reviewer: Dolce Amore
Dani McPherson started to dislike Christmas a year ago, when her fiancée broke their engagement and asked for her ring back without giving her a reason. With no family and a matchmaking friend whom she's trying to avoid, these holidays were supposed to be lonely. But she didn’t count on Hunter Nielsen, who started to fall for her nine months ago.

Hunter has decided to have Dani before the end of the holidays. As he makes planes to conquer her, Hunter is thrilled and surprised to see that she wants him too; this is demonstrated when he finds out that she disconnected the power to her house to get him there.

This is a perfect story for the holiday season. I enjoyed reading it, as the characters are deep enough and the story totally credible. The story line could be more developed, but this is a short story. For that and more, I give it 4.5 stars and I recommend you to add it to your reading list for this holiday.
