"These four romantic stories with a 'sports hero' twist will make you stand up and cheer!"
----Rhapsody Book Club

  "You Can't Steal First ... I loved: 5 out of 5 ... Quinn and Tiago are unforgettable characters, and as much as I liked the dialogue in Lucky Charm, I liked the banter and chemistry in You Can't Steal First even more. I just flipped through the story again to find a quote to post, but I don't want to spoil any of it. This is a very, very good story."
-- Alyssa, By the Book

  " "HOT TICKET" ... one of the best anthologies of the entire year ... "YOU CAN'T STEAL FIRST" by Annette Blair is about a Boston Baseball super-star named Juan Santiago (A.K.A. "Tiago the Stealer"). He not only steals bases, but ladies' panties. His collection is envied nationally. It is also about Quinn Murdock (A.K.A. "The Mighty Quinn"). She has just become the president-elect of Murdock, Inc. Tiago and Quinn met at the age of five, when Quinn gave Tiago a black-eye. They became so called 'friends' until they graduated high school. They were each other's "first."  Now, thirteen years later, Tiago is on his famous train, the "Hot-Ticket Express to Spring Training."  Quinn is literally shoved on board by her friends. For the next three days, Tiago and Quinn will get reacquainted with each other and perhaps hit a home run together.  I began reading and kept on until the last page ... A marvelous book that will have you standing up in the bleachers and cheering your heart out. Very highly recommended!"

  "This clever collection of sports-related stories excellently blends the thrill of victory with the high-wire risks of romance.  Each story plays to the authors' strengths and gives them a chance to shine." 
--Jill Smith, RT BOOKclub

"Fun tales that showcase the thrill of a victorious relationship ... if you team up with the right partner." 
--Harriet Klausner

"HOT TICKET pairs four sport hunks with very different and vivacious ladies.  Even though they are short stories, they certainly didn't feel like it. I liked how the characters were engaging and how their problems were resolved. The stories didn't lag or seem rushed at all. This is a great anthology from beginning to end. Game, set, match for HOT TICKET!"
--Ann, Romance Junkies


"Four talented authors come together in HOT TICKET to provide a fun-filled read that will hit the right chord with readers. Even if you're not into sports, you won't want to miss the sizzling romances in HOT TICKET.  You Can't Steal First by Annette Blair ... will leave you feeling good."
--Patti Fischer, Romance Reviews Today
Scoundrel in Disguise
"A complex Victorian Romance ... a 'page turner' ... will leave you feeling content, at ease, peaceful ... Fans will appreciate this Dickensian spin as "progress" vs. the need of the downtrodden competes with the hero knowing that he will probably lose his love once she learns of his deception."
--Harriett Klausner
"Fans of the TV show "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" will adore this novel! Sara came across to me as almost a mirror image of Dr. Quinn. She is strong when need be (stubborn), stands up for those in need (sharp tongued), and has so much love to give everyone. She also must deal with the Amish ordnung (rules) which makes everything near impossible. I found myself cheering her on to victory.  The author, Annette Blair, has a real writing talent. She inserts tiny things that the reader does not immediately notice, but makes the reader come to care for the characters as if they were kin. You may need tissues nearby at some points of the story. Another award winner that I cannot recommend highly enough."

"Annette Blair writes a wonderfully insightful Amish historical romance ... Fans who appreciate a deep look at a different lifestyle will enjoy THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN & THEE, I LOVE for their deep look at the Amish ..."

-- Harriet Klausner

"Those of you who are fans of Annette Blair or Amish romances will be thrilled with her newest book!  It seems like forever since Blair's first Amish romance Thee I Love was on the shelves. Her second ... set in Ohio this time, is every bit as good as her first.  I found myself transported ..."

My Favorite Witch

"Annette Blair will make your blood sizzle with this magical tale ... a terrific way to start the new year!"
--Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews

"Blair's sexy contemporary mating dance, set in Newport, RI, entertainingly pairs two commitment-phobic individuals."
-- Booklist

"Annette Blair writes with much wit & humor, gives Kira a strong outer personality, hides her soft inner thoughts, & gives Jason a twist on the popular jock, allowing tender emotions to evolve. Mixed with the fun, Ms. Blair shares the beauty of unconditional love ... Readers will experience many different emotions ... from laughter to tugs on heartstrings. MY FAVORITE WITCH contains strong words, true to the character types, & has many hot, explicitly sensual scenes, but none that detracts from the valuable lessons brought forth. MY FAVORITE WITCH is a great story of various kinds of love, & Annette Blair weaves her own spell on you as you reach the end."
--Carol Carter, Romance Reviews Today

"Annette Blair's latest cast a spell over this reader from the moment I picked it up. Chemistry blazes between Kira & Jason & extends into all parts of the story ... very intriguing plot with spooky crows, ghosts, charming little boys, & an adventure in love sure to raise your temperature and soften your heart. Jason has warmth, charm & charisma, but it is the battered heart that beats within that turns the ice wizard into a man any woman would be proud to call the love of her life. Kira is an equally fascinating protagonist ... The cast of secondary characters makes for plenty of downright hilarious moments, which help build on the evolving relationship between Kira and Jason. My Favorite Witch sparkles with wit, romance, and a love so grand, no magic could ever hope to create it. [It's] from the heart, the truest magic of all."
-- Sarah W. Fallen Angel Reviews

"A fabulous read! Kira & Jason are made for one another & their witty, teasing, sexy banter is laugh-out-loud fun. Ms. Blair has a gift for layering her characters & revealing them gently, cleverly, allowing readers to get to know them on a deeper level. She brings back old friends ... introduces adorable twin boys, & intrigues with a touch of the supernatural. MY FAVORITE WITCH - I agree!"
--Paula Myers, Fresh Fiction

"Superb character interaction, sexy banter, a heart tugging plot ... lovable orphans & flawed protagonists learn to trust & take a chance on love. This book will keep you entertained while playing on your emotions ... Kira is a witch & there is no doubt she bewitched Jason as well as this reviewer. If you enjoy pure entertaining romance, this is the book for you ... highly recommended."
