Ashley Quinn is having dreams that are both haunting and traumatizing dreams about a terrible heartbreak.  When she awakes she knows that it has happened to her.  She soon makes the connection that the bookstore she has bought in the French quarter of New Orleans is haunted!

Ashley had been warned by the realtor and a psychic that she was renting, a message she scorned initially.  Now books are flying off the shelves and she's falling in love with Royce Kingston, an 18th century debonair guy who is breaking hearts left and right until he does it one to many times.

Now he's locked in time and Ashley's dreams transport her to that time in which her heart is broken, over and over on a nightly basis.  Now she knows the only way to heal her own heart is to free the man who broke hers?

Sound confusing - it seems so at first.  But then we realize that Ashley must truly find what it is about this sexy, swashbuckling guy that makes a gal lose her head and heart, even against her own best interests.  She'll also meet a voodoo woman who has had enough of watching Royce's cold, callous behavior toward woman.

Perhaps all will learn the real power of voodoo to change lives as well as the troubles when voodoo and love collide!

This romance novel is marked by just the right balance of heartache, sexy passion, and haunting mysterious effects and affects to create a credible plot as well as tension and fire in every reader! So far this reviewer has found this novel to be the best in a notable "Trouble Series."  Nicely done!

Sarah Harper is off to Paris to design her best friend's wedding dress.  The problem is she is absolutely petrified of flying.  She's beside herself as she sits down for the flight.  How surprised is she to find an ex-pilot, Trey Chasen, is sitting next to her.  The combo of her medication to relax her and the scent and relaxed manner of her seatmate wind up bringing out an outrageous, totally unplanned reaction before they land!  While she's embarrassed, he's fascinated and wants to spend more time with this funny but intriguing, sexy gal!

Now Sarah has previously dated a pilot and thinks they all have egos bigger than the skies in which they regularly fly!  But Trey Chasen is blowing that image out of the skies, and Sarah is starting to like the new thoughts electrifying her body and mind!

Where will this hot romance lead?

The second novelette in The Troubles series, this story again is short but oh so satisfying and  passionate! Again, very nicely done, Ms. Ahlers!

The Trouble With French Kisses by Kristi Ahlers

The Trouble with French Kisses. (Book 1 of The Trouble Series).  Kristi Ahlers. Tirgearr Publishing. February 2012. 43 pp. or 118 KB - print or e-book. 

Hannah Walsh hardly expects to fall so fast to a French aristocrat, Damien Jacques, descended from a French King and owner of a successful wine vineyard.  

Hannah's last romance had severely injured her self-image, but she's managed to restore some of it with her job with Louis Vuitton and the breathtaking view in Paris. After a first date at the lively Moulin Rouge, she finds herself more and more interested in Damien but is still hesitant, having learned that men with large egos are more self-centered than interested in caring and loving a woman.

However, Damien shows signs of intelligence, wit, and humility as he takes her through the more famous Parisian sites such as Versailles and even his own home, where the lights truly begin to turn on - and not from the regal surroundings!  

So how is it that they are arrested for kissing? Find out about a law rarely enforced except this one time!

This is a very short but lovely novelette that all lovers of the romance fiction genre will eat up quickly and want more!  Terrific story, Ms. Ahlers!
