Isabella
Norse scored major "cool mom" points by playing the same video games
as her sons and their friends. In these virtual worlds she slayed demons and
destroyed machines bent on galactic extermination while simultaneously wooing
cocky assassins and sexy aliens. She fell in love with the make-believe worlds
and rich characters that inhabited them and now writes her own tales of love,
romance, and adventure.

Jewelz Review~
This was such a great compilation! I really enjoyed each of the novellas included.
Saved by the Belle - The story of Dot and Russell isn't a story of young love. Dot is middle aged and has never been married. Instead, she has travelled the world meeting a variety of people and serving those around her. She finally settled in the small town of Kudzu Korners as a hair stylist. Russell is a widower and the father of one of Dot's dear friends. It doesn't hurt that Russell is the spitting image of Dot's favorite heart-throb actor. But love doesn't come easily for two people from such diverse backgrounds - Russell has unkept promises to his dearly departed wife and Dot might be a little set in her ways. But anything worth having is worth working for.
Be My Valentine? - Cooper Trask is one of New York City's most eligible bachelors, but his father sends him to the little town of Cora Mills to open a new office for their company, Trask Linens. Trish Tripper is a successful interior designer who is still grieving the lost of her husband a few years past. A misunderstanding leads to a very awkward first meeting that might mean this relationship has ended before it even begins.
Pitch Perfect - Cierra is probably one of, if not THE biggest San Francisco Giants fan. She always has season tickets and rarely misses a game. She's also an author who plans to incorporate her love for baseball into her newest book. Her sister suggests that Cierra interview her favorite player, pitcher Colton Diaz, for the book and pretty soon Cierra is trying to figure out if her story is more fact than fiction, and what that might mean. Is Colton truly the man of her dreams? Or is there someone else that's her happily ever after?
A Design For Love - Maddy Whitcomb is the only female architect at Bleeker Architecture and she has just landed her first big job with Cornish International. But somehow, Derek Nichols, office heart throb and fellow architect, has managed to get a second change at the bid. Jason Cornish has made it clear that he favors her design and also seems to be attracted to her. Unbeknownst to Maddy there are things going on behind the scenes that she's not aware of - things that could not only impact her job, but her life.
Bound by Marriage: Looking Through Your Eyes - This is the first in a series that tells the story of three couples that become contracted to marry one another because of their meddling parents and grandparents. The gentlemen run Eternal Love, a matchmaking company and the women run Taking the Plunge, a wedding planning business. If they want to continue with their businesses, they have to marry - and they have to do it by February 14th! This first installment introduces everyone and tells the story of Melodie (head of cakes and desserts) and Roy (VP of advertising) and how they discover they were perfectly matched.
FYI ~ Clean reads, some mild language. Bound by Marriage does have an intimate scene.

Snippet for Saved by the Belle by Isabella Norse
“Well, now that you’ve got a little more free time, I have a project I could use your help with.”
“Oh?” He stepped closer, his arms just brushing hers. “You know what I think?”
“No, but I’m pretty sure you’re going to tell me.” Dot stepped back. She found his nearness more than a little appealing but, it was best not to go there.
“I think you just want to spend more time with me.” He took another step, narrowing the gap. “I think our daily lunches have left you hungry for more than food.”
“Russell Phillips!” Dot gasped. “Just what are you implying?”
Interview with Author Isabella Norse
1. Describe yourself in 50 words or less.
I am a wife, mother, gamer, crazy cat lady, writer, and child of God.
2. What do you love most in the world?
My husband, of course. However, chocolate runs a close second.
3. What do you fear most?
Spiders. Definitely spiders.
4. What is your largest unfulfilled dream, and what are you doing to reach it?
My largest unfilled dream is to someday be a USA Today bestselling author. In order to reach that goal, I am continuing to write the stories that touch my heart and make me smile – I hope that they will do the same for others.
5. What is the hardest thing you've ever done?
The hardest thing I’ve ever done is to deal with the death of my father in February of this year. Grief is sneaky, it likes to blindside you when you least expect it; dealing with it is a day-to-day process.
6. Now that we've gotten to know each other, tell me a story. It can be long or short. From your childhood or last week. Funny, sad, or somewhere in between. Just make sure it's yours. What's your story?
I fell in love with creative writing in high school and longed to write. However, my perfectionism kicked in: what if I couldn’t come up with any story ideas or, even worse, what if I wasn’t any good?
It took stumbling across the world of fan fiction several years ago before the desire to write became strong enough to bind and gag the perfectionism and shove it into a mental closet. I wrote a few stories based on my favorite video games, threw myself on the mercy of the internet and posted them. Much to my relief, responses were overwhelmingly positive! The feedback I received gave me the courage that I needed to begin writing original stories.
However, even though I had discovered my passion, I kept my writing hidden from my family. Our loved ones have the ability to hurt us easier than anyone else. At this point, my dreams could have easily been derailed by a wayward comment – even one spoken in jest.
I continued to write and began to believe in myself and my dreams. As my confidence grew, so did my doubts about my decision to hide my writing from those closest to me. After all, my parents were getting older. Did I really want to risk them dying without ever knowing my secret? After some soul-searching, I realized that wasn’t a chance that I wanted to take. Once again, I drew a deep breath and took a leap of faith – this time I laid my dreams at the feet of my friends and family. Once again, the response was overwhelming positive. (Those that may not be supportive have at least been quiet!)
My parents were so proud of me! They couldn’t wait to tell everyone they met that their daughter was a published author. Even when my daddy was in a nursing home in failing health, he continued to tell the nurses, therapists, aides, and anyone else who would listen about his daughter and how proud he was. Seven months after I revealed my big secret, my father passed away. I know that when (I’m thinking positively here) I reach my goal of being a USA Today bestselling author, my daddy will be celebrating with me. I can almost hear him telling the other residents of heaven, “Let me tell you about my little girl…”
