Coffee Time Romance gave Taking A Chance on Forever - 4 cups!

Here is the link to the reviewer's site and the complete review by Matilda -

Kate Thorne has been busy with her life raising her daughter and trying to stay afloat in the art world. The last thing she expects is to run into an old college boyfriend; one that left her and married another twenty years ago.


Dan Reynolds is widowed and in a relationship with a woman that he just has no clue why they are together. When he meets his son’s fiancé's mother, he is taken aback by the similarities to a love he once had and never forgot.

Thrown together by their children’s wedding, Kate and Dan find feelings still linger from a shared past and throw caution to the wind for the weekend, vowing to go their separate ways afterward. But the feelings and questions each have may make that harder than they thought. Can a second chance at love ever happen?

What a sweet romance. I loved this story filled with many choices that we make throughout life, never knowing the “what if?” Besides, who would not want a second chance at their first love? Kate and Dan’s story flows as smooth as silk from beginning to end. There is great chemistry between Kate and Dan as well as the other couple Sara and Brent, who deserve their own story as well.

A 5-Star Review for Tame the Wild Wind

Boy, I love getting these things! The book was reviewed by Julianne Draper for The Examiner. The link is below, but I've also included an excerpt! Here you go...

"Anna Small has created a bittersweet, and sexy, tale of reluctant trust, hope, and love that may (or, may I be evil and say, may not!) conquer all, that left me biting my nails for Jed and Cassie, and peopled it with a cast of colorful cast of characters that I’m sure any fan of Western romances, such as this one, will adore."

I'm officially an author!

Today is the release date of my first published book. It's been almost 26 years since I first thought I would write a book. I didn't give much thought to research, plotting, character development, goals, conflicts, etc...all I knew was an English privateer was in love with a French governess on the eve of the French Revolution! So Captain Renne and Juliane were born. This book will probably never see the light of publication, and I read it now and then for a good laugh, but I'm also filled with amazement that I wrote a full length historical novel when I was only 16 years old. I had no deadlines, no outlines, no nothin'. I had a mother who read every page I wrote the day I wrote it, who typed it for me to submit to my first ever publisher (who promptly rejected me), and several friends in high school who took it in stride that their nerdy friend was writing exciting, romantic books they all enjoyed.

Here is the first official review of TAME THE WILD WIND. It says exactly what I wish I could say to potential readers. Thank you to all of those in my past, present, and future who have supported me, endured longwinded plot descriptions, indulged my quest for the largest costume book collection, and otherwise held my hand.

This review is from http://goteroticromance.blogspot.com/2010/04/tame-wild-wind-by-anna-small.html. Even though the blog title is about erotic romance, TTWW is not!


Tame the Wild Wind is a fresh take on a classic Western romance, complete with a Madam with a heart of gold, soiled doves, a marriage of convenience, and a rugged hero hiding from his past. The main characters are appealing, and the town of Silver Spring is populated by a cast of lively and engaging secondary characters. The reader can’t help rooting for Cassie and Jed to overcome the obstacles in their path to find the true love they both desire.
