About 1001 Dark Nights Bundle:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Heather Graham, CD Reiss, Kristen Proby, Liliana Hart, and introducing Darcy Burke.
HALLOW BE THE HAUNT: A Krewe of Hunters Novella by Heather Graham Years ago, Jake Mallory fell in love all over again with Ashley Donegal—while he and the Krewe were investigating a murder that replicated a horrible Civil War death at her family’s Donegal Plantation. Now, Ashley and Jake are back—planning for their wedding, which will take place the following month at Donegal Plantation, her beautiful old antebellum home. But Halloween is approaching and Ashley is haunted by a ghost warning her of deaths about to come in the city of New Orleans.
PRINCE ROMAN by CD Reiss Rules for my new job: 1) Do not have sex with a man in the office (again). 2) Do not break Rule #1 I’m playing it cool, clean, and professional…until I meet Roman Bianchi. He’s not an insecure nerd or an ego-hole like the other kings of Silicon Valley. He’s charming and handsome. He’s fun, funny, and smart. He’s also in the office across the hall. Two broken rules waiting to happen.
NO RESERVATIONS: A Fusion Novella by Kristen Proby Chase MacKenzie is not the man for Maura Jenkins. A self-proclaimed life-long bachelor, and unapologetic about his distaste for monogamy. Chase has one strict rule: no strings attached. Which is fine with Maura because she doesn’t even really like Chase. He’s arrogant, cocky, and let’s not forget bossy. But when he aims that crooked grin at her, she goes weak in the knees. Not that she has any intentions of falling for his charms. Definitely not. Well, maybe just once…
DAWN OF SURRENDER: A MacKenzie Family Novella by Liliana Hart Cole MacKenzie is content to be the sheriff of Surrender, Montana, but he’s needed for a greater purpose. The United States needs a U.S. Marshal with a certain kind of experience to track the leader of the notorious Silver Creek Bandits. The leader is smart, cunning, and ruthless. And he's also his brother. Elizabeth MacKenzie never dreamed she’d marry Cole MacKenzie, but thanks to her father’s meddling, Cole was hers to have and to hold. Forever. If only he loved her.
SO GOOD by Darcy Burke Cameron Westcott has spent eight years recovering from heartbreak by keeping romantic entanglements casual and simple. He’s never minded being called a player, but after two years immersing himself in his new winery, he might be ready for the next chapter. Especially when he meets a sexy wine distributor Brooke Ellis. Every Dark Nights tale is breathtakingly sexy and magically romantic.

****
I have read most of these 1001 Dark Night Bundle books. I like that I can normally find several really good stories and new authors in each bundle. This one was no different. Lots of good stuff packed into this bundle!
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Heather Graham, CD Reiss, Kristen Proby, Liliana Hart, and introducing Darcy Burke.
HALLOW BE THE HAUNT: A Krewe of Hunters Novella by Heather Graham - 3.5 stars - This turned out to be pretty good. I had a hard time getting into it at first. I haven't read anything by this author and I think that hurt the story a bit for me. This story features an already established engaged couple and it is a paranormal mystery outside of that. I wasn't invested in the couple or the series already and it didn't capture my interest at first. I am glad I stuck with it, though. Once I got interested in the mystery, I enjoyed the book. I was just expecting a romance and the romance in this story is pretty minor, which is not my cup of tea. Still, I enjoyed the story and the mystery, which featured ghosts and a trio of killer witches during Halloween in New Orleans.
PRINCE ROMAN by CD Reiss- 3.75 stars - This was pretty good read! This is Roman and Raven's story. Raven has a history of having relationships with men she works with. It makes her work life messy and it eventually ends a lot of her jobs. She gets her dream job and is determined stay away from men at her new company, so she can work there for many years. But she didn't count on meeting Roman at her new job. They have an instant attraction and have a hard time staying away from each other. They do eventually give into their feelings for each other. They must decide how to work out the situation at work and whether their relationship can withstand the test it faces.
Even though this was a novella, it took a while for me to get into this book. The first 30% was pretty slow. I didn't understand their jobs or feel their chemistry at first. But it did gradually get better and I ended up enjoying it. I liked Roman and Raven. I did feel their chemistry and they were sweet and sexy together. I still didn't totally understand their job situation, which played a big part in the story, until the very end. I got the main gist, but it took me a bit to understand what was going on there. But I still really liked it! It was a low angst, feel good, sexy book.
Prince Roman is a spin off of King of Code, which I have had on my TBR list and I am going to read soon. I enjoy C. D. Reiss's writing style and I look forward to more from her in the future!
NO RESERVATIONS: A Fusion Novella by Kristen Proby - 3.25-3.5 stars - This was an okayish story. It featured two commitment phobes who push each other away a lot before they finally get together. I didn't really feel the love between them and felt their declarations of it came out of the blue. This was not a bad story, but it also wasn't great for me. Overall, it was entertaining enough.
DAWN OF SURRENDER: A MacKenzie Family Novella by Liliana Hart - 4 stars - This was really good and different! This story is a prequel to the MacKenzie Family series. I was pleasantly surprised that this was a historical set in Montana in 1892. It features a newly married couple finding their way together, with some suspense and adventure. I really liked this sweet, emotional and exciting read!
SO GOOD by Darcy Burke - 3.5-3.75 stars - This was a pretty good read. This story features two commitment-phobes working in the wine industry. It is a bit long and there was a lot of pushing away and denying feelings on both parts. It felt like too much pushing away, and when they finally got together officially, they were only together for a short time before there is a big blowup to break them up, and then they get back together at the very end. The pacing felt off, with the book rushed at the end and drug out for the first half. Still, this book had potential. I liked the writing style. The book kept me engrossed and kept my attention. I felt the emotions and the love between the couple. I will probably try this author again in the future.
Overall, I do recommend this bundle of novellas. They definitely kept me entertained and were all different and interesting in their own ways. I love these anthologies and have found some great new authors in them!

About the 1001 Dark Nights Bundle Authors:
New
York Times and USA Today best-selling author Heather Graham has always been an avid reader, from classics to sci-fi, mystery, horror, thriller, romance, and all kinds of non-fiction. She’s fairly certain that her mom’s deliciously crazy family–arriving in the US a bit before her birth from Ireland–gave her the love of storytelling. She started out in theater and commercials, but once her children began to arrive, she stayed home and gave writing a try. She’s incredibly grateful to be doing what she’s doing for a living. Heather belongs to MWA, RWA, Sisters in Crime, HWA, and ITW, and has the recipient of the RWA Lifetime Achievement Award, a Silver Bullet for charitable works, and this year, she will receive the Thriller Master title from ITW.

C.D. Reiss is a USA Today bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to chop a cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
