And speaking of Penelope, she just posted an early review of <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Christmas-Ball/Jennifer-Ashley/e/9780843962505/?itm=1&usri=1">A CHRISTMAS BALL</a>. Here's a taste:<br /><br /><blockquote><em>"It is extremely difficult to write a novella. Bryan totally nails it. This story has all the things I love about her longer historicals...it's beautifully written, has lusty love scenes, wonderful humor, and a very satisfying ending. <br /><br />This story is truly like an unexpected Christmas gift...I opened the package having no expectations, and I found a real treasure. Thank you, Emily, for this sweet Christmas story."</em></blockquote><br /><br />You can read the whole review at <a href="http://penelopesromancereviews.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-of-christmas-ball-by-jennifer.html">Penelope's Romance Reviews</a>. <br /><br />Hope to see you along the way!<br /><br /><em>P.S.
