"If you’ve never read a book by Meg Allison, you really should give Table for Two a try. I’ve actually read two other books from this author and once again she delivered a well-written and appealing read. ...
Table for Two is a sweet read but more than that it is an engaging tale of two people who just needed to take the time to get to know one another. It seems these days most readers are looking for a spicy sci-fi or fantasy book to read. But I must say that this charming contemporary story is one I recommend highly." (Reviewed by Orange Blossom)
Four Cups from CoffeeTime Romance!
"This is a great love story full of funny situations. The two main characters are very different from each other. David is a bit of a free spirit and Sandra is very uptight. Their dates are very funny, especially the monster truck rally. The small town they live in seems a bit too gossipy, especially after the movie incident, but the people for the most part seem warm-hearted and genuinely concerned with each other’s welfare. David’s sister and Jenny and Mark play small but important roles in the story. I really enjoyed it."

"Ms. Meg Allison has written a unique, fun-loving novella about a couple who could not stand to be together. ... there are some hilarious parts to this great manuscript. The two were complete opposites. As Ms. Allison gave us more information about this couple, it was still almost impossible to see how she would give readers a happily ever after. The couple was strong and determined but nothing alike.
This is a great book with something for everyone. I highly recommend it to all."

Gwen’s Resolution by Meg Allison
"Guinevere Sian Josephs, Gwen, grows tired of her mother mentioning finding the right date and giving her grandchildren. She decides to stop feeling sorry for herself.
Tad Smith is the boss of his own garage. He took business in school so no one else would tell him how to run his place of business. His mother often badgers him about his life.
Gwen is a seamstress at A Perfect Fit. She hates the idea of always finding a way to tell a little fib to her mother to keep her from bringing up dating and children. She knows her mother craves grandchildren but until Gwen is ready, she does not share the same sentiment. Gwen decides no more nights of being alone with a good book or the TV. She sets out on her own personal date never anticipating the outcome. When there are no tables left in a restaurant because of New Years Eve, Tad shares his table with Gwen. ...
I love the premise about new beginnings and making anew, and not being less of a person because one is alone in the world. Not to mention meeting at a restaurant. It reminded me of the Gary Grant movies. The way Meg Allison describes yummy Tad; I would love to share a table with him, too. Gwen’s Resolution is light-hearted, wonderfully written and warmly romantic."

The Long and the Short of It (read the entire review)
This brief 79 page book is a compilation of four short, sweet, winter romances. All four tales were enjoyable, easy reads. It's definitely a curl-up-with-hot-chocolate-and-relax-by-the-fire sort of book that leaves one with a warm and agreeable aftertaste - you know, the type where you close the cover with a dreamy smile and a satisfied sigh.
#3 GWEN'S RESOLUTION by Meg Allison
Folks, I am a consummate sceptic in the "love at first sight" arena, but Meg Allison's beautifully woven story has softened my stance. She paints a wonderfully believable portrait of being in the right place at the proverbial right time and falling in love. Gwen is determined to stop sitting home alone, feeling sorry for herself. She's going to be bold and brave by celebrating New Year's Eve on her own. Her plans are changed, however, once she meets Tad.
Gwen and Tad are both depicted with depth and gentleness. And Ms. Allison didn't overshoot the brevity of the story by trying to take them beyond the beginning of their relationship - a beginning that promises to bloom into "Happily Ever After".
I think this may have been my favorite of the four stories!

Learning to Live
Romance Reader At Heart -- Top Pick!
"I love this story! This is the kind of tale that reminds you of falling in love for
the first time... After reading what is the third story in this series, I find myself
desperately wanting to go back and read the first two stories. Also, I can't
wait to see if ther will be yet another story. The cozy, small town atmosphere
lends ot the warmth and romance this story brings to the reader."

4 Hearts from Loves Romances and More:
LEARNING TO LIVE is the final entry in the Blue Plate Specials trilogy and it is a richly satisfying one. ... The love story of Katie Marie and Jeff is compelling and appealing to all those readers who may wonder what life might be life if they could revisit their first true love. This reviewer highly recommends this story to any fans of contemporary romance! Reviewed by Leah 4 cups from Coffee Time Romance! Learning to Live is a sweet, captivating read. Katie is torn over many desires as she tries to follow her heart, while Jeff reminds me of the prince who returns to woo his princess. Both are believable and refreshing characters. Ms. Allison pens a delightful storyline within the vivid town of Glen Meadow where everything springs forth and transcends radiantly through the pages. The secondary characters add zest, allowing the story to flow smoothly. Add Norma Jean with her spirits and this is one delectable story that should not be missed.

Reviews for Romancing Jenny:
Four Angels from Fallen Angels Reviews:
"Man, this is one short story that you will love! It’s filled with (obviously) romance, but better yet, comedy. Mark and Jenny are so hopelessly in love, yet they stupidly listen to their friends. Now here are friends who really do mean well, but their antics are hilarious, for instead of pulling Mark and Jenny together, they do the opposite. I couldn’t stop laughing when Jenny relates her present ordeal to her friend and Mark to his friend. Romancing Jenny by Meg Allison is one treat of a book you’ll want to read. It’s short and sweet, yet with a lot of romance and comedy."

"ROMANCING JENNY is a refreshing sweet romance that makes you feel toasty all over. I couldn’t put the book down. The characters of Jenny and Mark are really believable. When Mark presented Jenny with the flowers it was such a tender moment. The scene at the flower shop with George and Mark made me laugh a couple of times. I loved the night of the date as the two were on pins and needles. The addition of the characters of Karen and Sandra, with their outspoken ways and spunk, really was a plus in this short story.
Meg Allison has created a delightful romance that will make you feel the strings of dating and falling in love all over again, like the first time when that one lucky person enters your life. Ms. Allison has a flare with words that catches the eye. This gem of a book would make a superb gift for anyone who loves happy endings." (Linda/ The Romance Studio)
