This was a reward reading week
Vagabond Viscount By Loretta Chase
Since having found Ms. Chase last year, I’ve been treating myself to one of her stories a month. I’ll try not too gush too disgustingly. But it’s (the not gushing thing) a challenge because not only does she write about my favorite regency England (almost a religion among fans) but she does so with wit and charm and range. Meaning she writes wonderfully, each story a gem in its own right and every cast of characters producing new friends who live on in the happy reader’s imagination long after the cover is closed. Many of her early titles are still in print, and deservedly so.
Sex, Lies and Online Dating by Rachel Gibson
Ms. Gibson writes contemporary romance with equal but different charms. I was laughing aloud in the prologue, a series of snappy emails between friends. The story continues on a collision course between the to-die-for hero and the lovely, cautious heroine generating more laughs and moving the reader effortlessly into the world of two very real people who manage to be poignant and amusing in one book.
Asking for Trouble by Leslie Kelly
A modern Gothic Blaze, if it had been written by anyone other than Ms. Kelly I would’ve skipped the title. I couldn’t imagine a modern Gothic period let alone a Blaze. But, I’m wild about Leslie Kelly stories and her name on the cover is enough for me.
After all, if I didn’t like one it would help cut down on the excessive book buying problem I have. No such luck, she did everything possible to turn me off, one chapter is in first person (Not my favorite. Briget Jones fine – Jack Reacher okay – but the rest of you? Forget about it.)There’s a creepy old mansion, a dark and stormy night, and a too familiar mystery. But this is Leslie and Blaze, so it’s also funny, quirky and sexy as all get out.
When both Hunter and Tru bond with Amber their mating triangle threatens everything they hold dear.
Determined to help rescue the princess, Cassandra agrees to act as the dragons’ sex slave, but can she guard her heart from the dominant males?
Camille, a plump, sweet-natured breeder, is caught in New Eden’s endless war with Baldor. Her mates, Jaxon and Aegis, need cunning and courage to rescue her. They need a miracle to capture her heart.
Werewolf-whisper Daniel is the only one who can heal Scarlet’s broken werewolf connection. If he succeeds then the pack’s needs will eclipse his claim on her heart. But if he fails, they'll both die.
A Scarlet Past, the story of Scarlet's parents is available on Amazon or Barnes and Noble for just 99 cents!
A lonely woman finds passion with a dominant much younger lover, when she tries to leave she learns her new master plays for keeps.
The Enyo Chronicles includes both Dalia's Choice and Joon's Tempation.
Three different stories, three dangerous men, and three women who deserve them.
One dangerous warrior woman plus two rogue demon males equals a love to threaten an empire.
Getting paid to watch Eduardo is Desiree’s dream assignment, but when he reaches out to her, crossing the line, everything changes.
