"4 Stars!...An enticing story that will keep you enthralled from start to finish. This is a well-written, sensual tale. I loved the characters created by Miss Shawler.

"...A heart-warming story of a man who has been ravaged by war...Leanne Shawler has a created a quick but delightful short story, set in Regency England in the wilds of The Lake District...An enjoyable read and a good start to a writing career that I hope to see more of in the future."—Gail Northam, Roundtable Reviews

"...A regency-set historical, an emotional story with passionate sex scenes, and the hero and heroine play 'naughty' tricks on each other, which spice up the story even more. This Amber Kiss was just perfect enough to make me keep a watch out for any erotica this author may write in the future..."—Lizzy Benway, Taste The Erotic

"Ms. Shawler's debut novella is quite amazing. In a short space, she made me care deeply for these characters. I wanted to see them happy, wanted to see their emotional wounds healed and above all, wanted them to have a very happily-ever-after. Sophia and Callum possessed depth, a hard thing to write in a short space; they were also ripe with inner character, you couldn't help but admire their steadfastness to remaining true themselves. As this is an erotic romance, Ms. Shawler did bring a wonderful amount of heat to a genre that rarely sees it. Ms. Shawler's full-length Regency, Dangerous to Know will be out in Spring 2005; it's one Regency I'm really looking forward to reading. I highly recommend you read Restrained Hearts ; it's a very entertaining read."—Sharyn McGinty, In The Library Reviews
