MILLS & BOON - ENCHANTED
The Enchanted Brides - trilogy - Part 3
Elissa Crosby was so used to being the strong one in her family, that it does not occur to her to tell her sisters and their husbands about her troubles. Someone was sending her threatening letters and that spooked her enough to make her spend the night before her birthday in the very spooky D'amour mansion...and of course she sleeps, and there was a full moon, and she wakes up to confront Alex D'Amour who imparts the unwelcome news that her precious Crosby Inn was legitimately his.
Not a great way to inspire love...especially in the case of Elissa. Still, to ensure her family has a good holiday, she puts up with the constant needling of Alex, her sisters' and their husbands' matchmaking games and also deals with the constant, anonymous threats.
Things come to a head her ill-wisher confronts her and finds out her `lightning knee action' and karate chop. After the fellow is carted away her family reproaches her for suffering alone, and she also tells the truth about her Inn not being hers anymore.
Alex returns the deeds to the Inn to her since he had fallen in love with Elissa. She too acknowledges her love and they get married.
One year later, next Christmas, The Crosby girls and their family get together
Helen and Damien Lord with two sets of twins,girls- Gillian and Gloriana, boys Jake and Jerod.
Lucy and Jack Gallagher with their son Jonathan Crosby Gallagher.
Elisa and Alex D'Amour with a baby expected in fall.
The D'Amour manison was restored and opened as a resort, with an upstair room dedicated for the use of single women on their birthdays....on a full moon...
And the Crosby inn was given as free lodging to honeymooners who proved that the D'Amour legend lives on..........

To Marry a Stranger - Renee Roszel (Summary)
MILLS & BOON - ENCHANTED
The Enchanted Brides - trilogy - Part 1
The trilogy is about the three sisters.... Elissa, Lucy and Helen Crosby. Their Crosby Inn is in the neighbourhood of the D'Amour mansion, whose absentee owners are roumoured to be living in Europe.There is a charming myth surrounding this mansion and it plays an important part in the lives of the Crosby sisters.
Legend says that the mansion is enchanted and that an unmarried woman who sleeps within it's walls on her birthday, when there is a full moon, would marry the first man she sees in the morning.
Helen, the youngest of the Crosby sisters and the most romantic, sleeps in the D'amour mansion on her twenty-first birthday...and of course there is a full moon...she encounters a scarred, limping, one-eyed stranger and runs for her life.
Later she realises that the man she had seen in the mansion was Damien Lord, news reporter extraordiaire, who had injured himself trying to rescue a small child. She takes it upon herself to help the man recuperate and blackmails him into her home with threats of disclosure of his whereabouts.
Helen realises that he was the man she had first seen after fulfilling the conditions of the myth, and despite realising that their differences are insurmountable, falls in love with him. Damien Lord finds himself slowly drawn into the warmth and loving comfort of the Crosby inn and the three sisters.
She practices tough love and shames Damien back into his own world when she finds out that he did not have the confidence to face his old society after losing his looks. Her sacrifice pays off and Damien gets readmitted into the media world and is touted America's sexiest Man...
And one fine day in April, imprisoned by her sisters into watching his news telecast, she receives her proposal from Damien on TV and then in person, a few minutes later.
So the Myth worked for Helen...what about Lucy and Elissa??????

About trilogies - (Comment)
I really love trilogies or more than three books on memebers of a family , or just othr characters who appeared in other books...gives one a feeling of recognition, of really being a part of the lives of the fictitious characters....
That's another reason I really love Nora roberts, Renee Roszel, Day Leclaire etc...they are experts at creating this sort of connections...
The best thing about these books is that they are all great individually, but to just have read the whole set is amazing...!!!!
And to demonstrate the fact, I plan to summarise the trilogy of Enchanted Brides by Renee Roszel....
I'll be awaiting your comments after you get a taste of reading a trilogy.......

The Secret - Rhonda Byrne (Comment)
I had seen Oprah Winfrey raving about this book on her show, but at that time, I guess I was not receptive to what was being said. I have yet to see the movie, but I am impressed by the book and all the people who have endorsed it...like Oprah, Jack Canfield, Dr. Joe Vitale...etc
It is not something I can summarise, but the feeling this particular book generates, is of hope, and all things positive. If a person atleast takes a few minutes to think of the Law of attraction that has been mentioned in the book, one would start getting convinced that things are not so totally beyond one's control as one thinks.
The book need not necessarily alter a person's life from the get go, but the greatest thing is , it may influence some positive thoughts and generate hope for a better tomorrow....And I agree that there is nothing greater than the power of love.
What more can I say about the Secret....??
