my review...

This is a set of romantic comedy stories. Each story can stand on its own so the book as a whole is something you can read a little at a time. However, I didn’t do that. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting. It was also easy to read because each story has such a good flow. Easy to read, no blips, no hiccups.

I don’t mind a romance but don’t like the steamy embarrassing kind. I think from the title that’s what I thought this would be. But it wasn’t. The stories were sweet and funny. The feel-good kind and they did just that, made me feel good.

‘The Scent of a Man’ by Jennifer Patricia O’Keeffe

“Beth!” Melanie squealed with happiness as she saw her friend up and on her own two feet. Then, her expression went to shock as she noticed her forehead. She gasped, put a hand to her heart, and took a step back. “Oh, my god!”

“Oh, that looks bad,” Dianna added. “Like, really bad.”

“Is… is that permanent?” Melanie looked absolutely horrified.

“I hope not,” Beth said and shrugged. “It’s pretty embarrassing.”

“Yeah it is,” Dianna agreed. “You can’t go to work with that on your face.”

“I can’t go back to work at all for a while,” she told them. “Bed rest for a few days. I have a nice concussion that the doctor seems concerned about.”

At the mention of the doctor, the expressions of both friends transformed and wide smiles took over.

“Speaking of the doctor,” Melanie began. “That’s who you were with when this happened, right?”

“He’s pretty cute,” Dianna noted. “Like, really cute.”

“He’s my doctor,” Beth specified. “He now knows much too much about me to want to date me. I can promise you that.”

“You don’t know that,” Dianna said. “He’s a doctor, but he’s still a man.”

“A delicious man,” Melanie added. “Have you smelled him? He has on no cologne and his scent is still divine!” She fanned herself as she thought about it.

“Have I… smelled him?” Beth questioned. Then, she wondered what Melanie was doing smelling him.

“How can you miss it?” she continued. “You can’t miss it! Honey, there is no scent greater than the scent of a man.”

Beth laughed out loud. It was absurd. Unless someone was drenched in cologne or perfume, they didn’t really have a scent… did they? Maybe sweat, she thought. Men were often sweaty, and sweat definitely had a scent.

about the authors...

Miriam Newman:

Fantasy poetry driven by myths and legends has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I was published in poetry before catching the romance writing bug. I bring that background to my writing along with a lifelong addiction to horses, an 18 year career in various areas of psychiatric social services and many trips to Ireland, where I nurture my muse. My published works range from contemporary fantasy romance to fantasy historical, futuristic, science fiction and historical romance. Currently I live in rural Pennsylvania with a “motley crew” of rescue animals. You can see my books at www.miriamnewman.com.
