SURRENDER TO HONOR 
Ms. Corti-Petska has done it once again with a very lovely tale of strong women and the men who love them. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I look forward to it.

LOVE'S SWEET WAGER
I was completely enthralled with Love’s Sweet Wager. The chemistry between Rachel and Reno positively sizzles off the pages. I was as gripped by the pair as they were with each other. Reno was a fantastic lead male, and I loved the fact that he wasn’t the usual distant, silent type. He was full of burning passion and was led by his needs and emotions as much as Rachel was. Rachel was not about to be outdone by the gambler. She was spirited and matched Reno in wit, cunning and temper. The two made for a fantastic couple whose tempestuous relationship kept me hooked throughout. The writing moved at a comfortable pace that seemed to compliment the wagon train setting. I thoroughly enjoyed following Rachel, Reno and a myriad of superb supporting characters along their physical and emotional journey. The idea of fate playing its part in bringing Rachel and Reno together was very nicely handled, from that fateful card game to the secrets that were bound to cause heartache when they were revealed. The world in which such great characters lived in was detailed and wonderfully vivid. I also want to mention how beautiful the cover art is. All in all, Love’s Sweet Wager was an exciting, unpredictable, intoxicating page turner that I highly recommend.

CHARLOTTE AND THE GYPSY Four Siren Stones from Siren Book Reviews Charlotte and the Gypsy draws the reader deep within the gypsy world; familiarizing the reader with gypsy traditions, gypsy life, and gypsy love. With vivid descriptions and attention to detail, this book made it easy to get lost in Andalusia, and difficult to return to reality.

FIVE STARS from The Pen and Muse for Charlotte and the Gypsy! 
If you remembered how much I loved the first book in the trilogy, (Book One Review) then you know how much I loved the second one! Corti-Petska does it again, with the other sister, Charlotte. I always love the way Corti-Petska sets of the scene, characters, and dialogue. This second book of the trilogy swept me away to another place as did the first book in the series. This is a must read for all of you romance junkies! I found myself going back to read the first book again. A beautiful story of finding out who you are at the cost of harms ways and undeniable love. This author will always remain one of my favorites!

From Renaissance Magazine Petska gives readers a well-paced storyline with a properly heroic ending. As the hero and heroine fall in love, as one might expect, they go through a series of increasingly escalated scenes involving nudity, outraged senses of decorum, well-meaning invasions of privacy, and overwhelming lust. The sex scenes are steamy and detailed without being overly sordid. The story takes place amid a background of research; the clothes, furnishings, food, and customs all ring true, adding to this Tuscan romp. If you like romances with historical heft, Carina and the Nobleman might be right up your vicolo. Visit Renaissance Magazine Online

From The Pen Review This story touched me. I absolutely loved it. I loved Carina's strength, endurance, and faith to continue with her mission to find her family. She was a very funny character as well as she dealt with her duties to Count Luciano about adding to her time that she would have to serve him. From start to finish it was a story that I did not want to end. Now I am wondering if there is more to come from this story. I would love to read more if there is! Those who love fairy tale romances must read Carina and the Nobleman!

From You Gotta Read Reviews When it comes to romance, I want a story I can believe. If I don't believe it could really happen, it loses it's appeal. This is one of the things that makes this book so wonderful in my mind. The problems they face are real concerns for the period and the characters keep to their roles both in society. That said, I was also pleased to see that the Heroine was not a doormat. This book is a real tease. Just when you think the pair will have their moment something always seems to interrupt, dragging out the nice slow burn through the entire story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a good read.

FOUR ANGELS
Knight's Desire will not disappoint medieval romance lovers.
Kimber
Rebel Heart features two passionate characters engaged in a battle of wills from the first moment they meet. Despite their different backgrounds, both Courtney and Beau have very similar personalities. Both share a determination, independence, and stubbornness that cause them to clash on more than one occasion. Though some of the action is left up to the reader's imagination, I still found myself anticipating the moment when Courtney and Beau finally give in to their attraction. Believe me, it's well worth the wait!

Rebel Heart is a wonderfully written historical, not only fascinating but kept this reader turning the pages. Courtney is a beautiful character that shows strength as she leaves home only to find herself in a troubled situation. Not willing to suffer defeat at her father's hands, she dives into staying and making a go of the ranch. Her strength is remarkable. Beau is a great hero who always comes forward and rescues Courtney while trying to keep his feelings at bay. Ms. Petska pens a delightful read with well-rounded characters and great dialogue that grabs the reader. She molds the character of Courtney as tenacious but once enduring her struggles, it really works to her benefit. I could almost feel the emotions that captured her when she found out the truth about Stanley and his deceit. This book is a great start to any day or evening. I love the cover art.

From Coffee Time Romance Rebel Heart is an entertaining escapade set in the Wild West. The characters, both good and bad, are completely convincing. The banter between the hero and heroine was delightful and imaginative of what the old west must have really been like. Ms. Corti-Peska's novel was a pure joy to read.

FIVE HEARTS from The Romance Studio! This book comes very close to being what I consider the perfect book: a historical romance, well written, long enough to allow interesting development of characters and their backgrounds, and a beautiful love story developing a fascinating plot. Ms. Petska does an excellent job of all aspects of sharing this book with us.

FOUR STARS for Rebel Heart from Huntress Reviews! Author Jannine Corti Petska must have done a lot of research on sheep ranching to create such a beautiful and well written story. I only wish it could have been longer so Courtney would not have had to give in to her attraction to Beau so quickly. The main couple is very different from each other, but a perfect match. The author made sure that this is one pampered, but feisty, lady that readers cannot help but cheer for. Keep your eye on this author. I certainly will be. Jannine Corti Petska's future looks bright.
