Bantry Mac Murchadha loved his nephew. Granted the boy was trouble, but all boys went through a trouble-making stage. However, not all of them got drunk and stole treasures from a goddess. Bantry knew he had to do something and just before he tossed the stolen treasures into the ocean, the goddess Cliodna stopped him. She asked him to match each of the treasures to the right person, thereby allowing that person to find their heart's desire. How hard could it be to match a piece of tapestry, a harp and a rock to the right person?

Kit had been in love with her friend Jax for several months, but wasn't willing to risk their friendship for one night of sex. After learning she would have to participate in a television interview to promote a book she co-authored, Kit had a panic attack. Speaking before more than two people sent her heart racing and her tongue into knots. Trying to get away from her problems, she starts running and ends up in a small shop. Inside the little shop, she starts talking to the owner, a nice Irishman who offers to sell her something that will help her.

An expert in myths and legends, Kit can't believe she actually believed the shop owner when he offered her a piece of the Blarney Stone. Even worse, she bought the thing! What possessed her to do such a thing? Later that evening while at dinner with Jax, she decides to take a chance and kisses the stone. She feels an electric shock, but it's the words coming out of her mouth that astound her. Where did she learn to talk like that? And why was she intent on seducing Jax tonight?

Swept away by their mutual attraction, Kit begins to believe her rock possesses magic. But when she forgets to bring the stone with her to her television interview, will Jax be able to help her conquer her fear of public speaking?

A wonderful friends-to-lovers story, Kissing Stone is filled to the brim with emotion. You know Kit and Jax care deeply for one another and it would take something special for them to move their relationship to another level. I especially loved how willing Jax was to help Kit get over her fear of public speaking and how he believed her when she said the rock was magic.

Three artifacts, three talented authors, three unforgettable novellas combine to make Irish Enchantment a don't miss read. Full of Ellora's Cave trademarks, emotion and moresexmoresexmoresex, this anthology will have you glued to your seat and downing iced tea while sighing over the beauty of undying love.

Geneva couldn't believe she had agreed to her sister Jessie's plan. Here she was with a PhD, wearing a dress that showed more than should be legal, acting like a complete bimbo; all because Jessie's boyfriend's brother thought Jessie was a bimbo and ordered Wilson to stop seeing her. The things one did for family.

Their plan might have worked if Wilson's brother Bradford hadn't been just what Geneva always wanted in a man: handsome and powerful. When Wilson leaves early, Brad agrees to take her home. Out at the car, neither can resist the passion that has been sparking between them, and they share an intense kiss. After learning she and Wilson aren't dating, Brad asks her for one night. One night of just sex, in the morning they both walk away satisfied.

Of course, things never work out the way you plan.

Short but intense, Just One Night is a must read. Author Tielle St. Clare manages to bring plenty of emotional involvement in addition to unforgettable sex scenes. I've yet to miss one of Ms. St. Clare's novels and Just One Night only deepens my respect for her and my loyalty. Don't miss!
