Praise for Fireworks
“Denise Alicea pens a moving story, in Fireworks that speaks of deep devoted love that lasts throughout time. Sarah and James are beautifully created. They tell a heartwarming story that touches the heart,” ~ Linda L. for Fallen Angel Reviews
“THE FOURTH OF JULY has it all, paranormal, historical and contemporary romances. The authors bring their own unique story with such intensity and chemistry between their characters. The sex scenes are designed to burn up the pages and romance that makes you sigh with each turn of the page. For this reviewer, anthologies always leave me wanting more. But, if it’s a short stories you want then THE FOURTH OF JULY is just what you’re looking for.” ~ Gloria Gehres
“Fireworks is a very short read and has little back story. That doesn’t detract from the overall imaginative plot of Denise Alicea. Even after her grandfather went to Heaven, he’s still trying to fix Sarah up on a blind date.” ~For Whom The Book Tolls Reviews
