The Calendar Heroes omnibus edition!REVIEWSAbout Mr. September: "This book took me totally by surprise, yes you get a hot fireman in Joe Marino, but there is so much more to the story between him and Taylor Krebs. his is a nice fluffy romance, but it is also a little deeper than that, I didn't think I'd find myself in tears reading this book, but I was and more than once. I didn't expect to find that the author took these characters and their pasts and developed their story as well and as seamlessly as she did, as well as merge their futures together into such a cohesive and wholly engrossing read, it is safe to say all of my expectations were met and exceeded with this one. If you are looking for a beautifully written, entertaining story, with a great supporting cast, a little drama and a bunch of firemen, then you can't really go wrong."About Mr. December: "Michele Dunaway has sprinkled quirky characters, a small town attitude and two amazing characters together over a sugar cookie sweet tale of romance, togetherness and love, while sharing the plight of a young puppy and all animals in need of their perfect forever home. Not your cookie cutter Holiday read, this author understands the spirit of the Holidays!"About Mr. July: "The third book in Michele Dunaway's series continues in the stellar tradition of its predecessors. The author manages to take well used tropes and give them a fresh spin, with plenty of love, romance and entertainment for the reader to enjoy.Have a few tissues handy, what with a healthy dose of survivor's guilt and unaddressed grief on both sides, flowing through their story, and a couple of letters towards the end that bring a massive lump to the throat, I was a bit of a blubbery mess when I finished!"About Mr. August: The Good Girl's Fake Date is a fun contemporary Jacobson romance starring two likable protagonists. The story line focuses on Olivia trying to throw off the "shackles" of her family so that she can enjoy life just a bit. Garrett is attracted to the good girl as much as the bad girl.
