Kensington Books - Apr 2025
Contemporary Romance
Lilac Time Anthology consists of three stories each standing on its own. They are a women's fiction short story Sweet as Honey by Fern Michaels, and two romance short stories, Everything She'd Ever Wanted by Lori Foster and The Memory Cabin by Carolyn Brown.
Having lost her parents as a child and bounced from one foster home to another, AnnaBeth Sanders was happy with the life she was creating. She had her dog Ruby and a home she loved. She kept an eye on her elderly neighbor Sony and enjoyed visiting him. She was even okay with the fact that Ruby abandoned her for Mia, the daughter of Sony's nephew Devlin, when they visited.
Widowed for three years, Devlin Connely had focused on raising his young daughter and keeping an eye on his uncle. While he appreciated AnnaBeth watching out for Sony, he didn't want to burden her. She seemed genuinely happy to help with Sony, Mia, and himself. But Devlin was quickly coming to realize he wanted more from the sexy, sweet, kind neighbor than just help.
Everything She’d Ever Wanted was a sweet romance focusing on family. I loved all the relationships, even that of Ruby and Mia. It was lovely to see AnnaBeth and Devlin's romance evolve with input from Sony and Mia.
