Review of Swaying Fate

This was a sweet short story. I love the whole cupid aspect of the story, I only wish it had been a little longer. I did enjoy it enough, however to preorder the next book in the series.

The Curse of Lord Stanstead


Blurb

London, 1819
When only seduction will do...

Wherever Cassandra Darkin goes, fire is sure to follow. It's not until she's swept into the arms of a handsome, infuriating stranger that she learnsshe's responsible for the fires. As it turns out, Cassandra is a fire mage...and with her gift comes a blazing desire for sins of the flesh.

With his pretenatural ability to influence the thoughts of others, Garrett Sterling is sent to gather Cassandra for the Order of the M.U.SE. He's entirely unprepared for his immediate attraction to the comely little firestarter. But it's an attraction that he must quell, even as his body craves her touch and her fiery, sensual hunger.

For Garrett's gift has a dark side...and the moment he begins to care too much for Cassandra, he knows he will doom her to an inescapable fate.

Review

This book was amazing! I haven't ever read anything quite like it before. I loved the mix of mythology and historical romance. It was very entertaining and I hope to see more of this series in the future. I encourage all of you to read this one, as I don't believe you will be disappointed.

Her Stand-In Boyfriend


Blurb

This boyfriend business is about to get a whole lot more personal…

Event planner Lexi Mannis has a busy life in Chicago—too busy to have a boyfriend. For special occasions, she has her Stand-In Boyfriend, Mac Northrop. Mac offers (almost) all the perks of a real boyfriend—furniture assembly, a date to big events, and someone to cook for. But they've never been “with benefits”…until one wickedly hot night crosses the line.

Mac's been in love with Lexi for ages. He knows he should probably end it, but dammit, he just can't. When things get deliciously down and dirty, Mac is certain that he's made the leap out of the friend zone…until Lexi decides she wants to remain friends. With benefits.

What Lexi doesn't know is that she's running out of time. And if she won't promote Mac to Real Boyfriend, she might just lose her Stand-In Boyfriend to someone else…

Review

I love these type of stories, they always make me teary eyed and this one was no exception. At times I wanted to slap Lexi and hug Mac, but by the end the struggle they went trough made me want to just hug them both. I absolutely loved Lexi and Mac's story and hope you take the time to read it, because I believe you will in joy it too.

Opposing the Cowboy


Blurb

Never trust a good kisser...

Yoga teacher LeeAnn Walker has no desire to see the unspoilt beauty of her grandmother's ranch violated by a greedy oil company. But unless she finds the paperwork confirming she owns the mineral rights, that'sexactly what could happen. The worst part? The guy spearheading the whole mess is none other than the hot and sexy stranger LeeAnn just kissed to make her ex jealous.

Jonah Hamilton thought his day was looking up until he found out the gorgeous blonde who kissed the hell out of him is the same stubborn woman he came to town for. And she's not too happy to find out she might be forced to allow drilling on her land.

But Jonah has a job to do, even if LeeAnn tempts him to turn his professionalism into something much more personal...

Review

This was an amazing cowboy romance, but definitely not tour ordinary cowboy or your traditional Texas girl. I loved this quirky story and the trials they face to find love are realistic in the day and age. I truly enjoyed reading about Jonah and LeeAnne, and I hope you take a chance on them and love it too.

No Kissing Allowed


Blurb

No kissing. No touching. And definitely no falling in love...

Armed with her besties, an embarrassing number of shots, and her list of 10 Wild Things To Do Before Adulthood, recent grad Cameron Lawson is partying it up before she starts her dream job at New York's biggest ad agency. Her last task? Hook up with a random guy. And while it's so not her style, the super-sexy guy sitting next to her is definitely game. No names. No details.

At least, that was the plan.

On her first day of work, Cameron discovers her hook-up is none other than Aidan Truitt—her new boss's boss. Talk about failing the “no fraternizing with coworkers” policy on an epic level. Especially when Aidan makes it clear their one night was only the beginning. Falling for him could cost her everything, but sometimes the only way to get what you want is by breaking a few rules...

Review

This as a wonderful book. I loved the shock of meeting properly for the "first" time. While he was her boss, this was definitely not your typical CEO book as he isn't THE boss. The fight they go through is inspiring and I loved their story greatly.

Traitor (Maelstrom Chronicles #2)


Blurb

Captain Nikolas EstherVorn is a traitor. Or so it was decreed after Niko disobeyed protocol while trying to save Earth from other-dimensional creatures. Stuck in a prison cell, the last thing he needs is to be in close proximity to sexy-as-sin Dr. Sarah CallenJoseph. Not with him damn near ready break out just to get to her.

Niko's desire isn't quite his own…and Sarah can prove it. He—along with the other soldiers on the disastrous mission—were drugged with some kind of toxin. Niko has no clue how the drug got into his body or why, but Sarah suspects there’s a link between the toxin and the fertility crisis of Shipborn humans.

To investigate is forbidden. But as lust becomes something deeper, binding them together in a way neither expected, Niko and Sarah must battle time—and their superiors—to uncover the secret that could save humanity...or destroy it.

Review

This book was awesome. Imagine Farscape crossed with Battlestar Galactica all wrapped up in a romance novel and this is what you get. Sci-fi romances are one of my favorite genres and this is one of the best in it's genre that I've read in a while.

Baby's Got BIte


Blurb

Some consequences bite . . . big time.

Bennett Langdon has a firm no-relationships policy. Still, it doesn't stop her from hooking up with a super-sexy bad boy at her best friend's wedding. After all, it's only one night—what harm could it do? Ten weeks later, a pregnant Bennett has her answer...

Linc Monahan can't believe it. This wasn't supposed to happen. He's a werewolf, and shouldn't be able to father a child with a human. Now Linc has to find some way to tell Bennett that not only do werewolves exist, but she's about to have a baby with one.

But when word of their surprise conception gets out, the fur hits the fan. There are people who don't want this baby to be born—even if it means killing. Now Bennett and Linc aren't just fighting each other . . . they're fighting for their lives.

Review

This was an interesting book of paranormal romance. I was laughing through quiet a bit of this story, which usually happens when you take a snarky heroine and an uber alpha hero and have them fall in love without realizing it. It was a fun and highly entertaining story with just enough drama to round it out. I loved Bennett and Linc and hope you take the time to read their story and fall in love with them too.

Even the Score


Blurb

He'll make her an offer she can't refuse...

Actress Tess McKenzie is performing in the Tenth Circle of Showbiz Hell-dinner theater. All she really wants is to start a theater of her own. Then Tess receives an offer she can't refuse. She'll get her funding...if she pretends to be the fiancée to her nemesis, Texan property tycoon Hunter Dade. If she's going to pull this off, she'll need all the luck she can get.Break a leg, indeed.

He hasn't quite forgiven Tess for ruining his wedding, but when their chemistry goes from combative to straight-up lust, the "no sex" clause in their mutually beneficial arrangement is tested. Which is a serious problem, because if Tess isn't careful, she'll go from breaking a leg to breaking her heart...

Review

This was a laugh out loud romcom. I love when the story not only has angst and love, but throw in a large dose of humor and you get amazing results. This was an amazing story and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Masquerading with the CEO


Blurb

After catching her fiancĂ© cheating on their wedding day, interior designer Kylie Edwards swore off high-powered men. But before she can drown herself in wedding cake, she’s dragged to a Vegas romance conference by her friends. At least she’ll be able to meet the hotel’s owner and pitch her new design idea. And maybe attend the elaborate masquerade ball, where business unexpectedly becomes pleasure with the hotel’s oh-so-hot head of security.

Jake Royale's no security guy—he owns the hotel and casino. The masquerade ball gives him the perfect opportunity to drop his high-profile identity and blend in. To be seen as a man, not his money. But when one hot night with Kylie becomes more, Jake knows he’s screwed. Not only will his fake identity cost him the design that will catapult his casino back to the top, it might just cost him the one thing money can't buy...

Review

This was a sweet romance mixed with a little bit of deceit. I found it very lovely and a great afternoon read. It seems to be more of a novella though, so expect a shorter story. However it is definitely worth the read.

The Highlander's Choice



Blurb

The Scottish Highlands, 1815

Lady Sybil Lacey is every inch an English woman. She's horrified her best friend is wedding a barbarian Scot. For aren't Scots naught but brutish, whiskey-swilling lechers? So to find herself secretly attracted to the tall and devastatingly handsome Scottish laird of Bedlay Castle is quitedisconcerting...

Liam MacBride is convinced that English ladies are silly sassenachs who think of nothing but social events and clothes. So why is he intensely drawn to Lady Sybil? All they do is quarrel . . . until loathing turns into undeniable lust.

A tempestuous, fiery romance between an English lady and a Scottish laird cannot end well.

Review

What an amazing read. The story leads you through the prejudice found even today, and what it does to people, while showing you that sometimes love can still find a way. This story was beautifully written, and while it does hit on a tough topic even today, it still gives one the romance you love to read about.

Lady Scandal



Blurb

He had everything under control, until she proved him wrong...

London, 1784

Sophia Baneham has lived in the poison of her dead father's shadow for longer than she cares to admit.

When a man walks into one of her soirees, a compelling mix of charisma and icy control, he offers the lady of sin a wager she can't refuse...

Lord Randolph is a spy in the service of His Majesty, but he's given an oath to protect the daughter of his mentor. Even as his gamble of marriage starts to spiral out of control and his passions ignite, Randolph is determined that he'll handle things his way...

But when danger closes in, Randolph won't just have to protect Sophia from an intended killer. He'll have to protect her from himself...

Review

This book was amazing. The plot twists and all the things you think being wrong keep you in the story just to see what will happen next. I was enthralled with this story and hope you take the time to read this thoroughly entertaining, suspenseful, historical romance.

The Spaniard's Kiss


Blurb

Looking for a passionate read? Don't miss Indulgence's latest romance...

One moment
will change their friendship forever...

Widow Isobel Sinclair knows it's time to move on, and she believes the next chapter in her life involves a baby. All she needs is a man to help her with the finer details. Unfortunately, right now the only man in her life is her husband's best friend, Rafael Sanchez. And an incredibly wealthy, super-hot player is not exactly family material.

That's okay since she wants a baby sans the husband part.

When desire sparks between them, Rafael faces a choice beyond imagining: give Isobel what she wants...or lose her forever.

Review

This was an amazing story. I love that he had always wanted her bit was an honorable man and never thought about hurting his friend. So many obstacles stood in their way of finding happiness, and I love that they weren't afraid to fight for it.

His Millionaire Maid


Blurb

As far as Nina Beaumont is concerned, money ruins everything. Leave it to her wealthy family to screw up her professional life and her personal life. When she crashes and her car sinks, sending her identification and all her belongings spiraling into the watery abyss, Nina sees her chance to escape.

And stumbles into a job with the hottest man she’s ever met…as his maid.

Between running an inn, caring for his grandmother, and trying to keep the dirty-dealing Beaumont Corporation from stealing his land, Joe Farina's plate is full. He doesn't have time for romantic entanglements—especially not with the suspiciously bad maid he just hired, no matter how much he needs her…both in and out of his bed.

Screwing with her life is one thing, but Nina’s not about to let her family screw with Joe. That is, if she doesn’t lose him when he finds out who she really is.

Review

This was an unique spin in the romance novels we are used to. Most involve a rich man, where she is the wealthy one and I think it made for a great story especially with no one knowing. The book brought out lots of angst and had me laughing at her constant snark as well. I enjoyed the book immensely and believe you should definitely give it a try.

A Change of Plans



Blurb

Sara Greaves has been planning her perfect wedding since she was five. Instead, she's dumped by her fiancĂ© and meets Ethan Monroe—Mr. Dall, Dark, And Anti-Marriage—who bets that she could marry any guy in Vegas and make it work. Except now Ethan has a hangover, a wedding band, and a sexy, gorgeous bride for the next month. He''ll have to convince the new Mrs. Monroe that marriage is a crock....and hope like hell that his little change of plans doesn't turn into a change of heart.

Review

This was an awesome novella of love and Vegas. While I loved the story I did find the ending a bit abrupt. I thought it was a wonderful love story of broken and harden hearts finding their way to each other in an unconventional way.

Protecting Jessyka


Blurb

Kason “Benny” Sawyer was the last single man on his Navy SEAL team. He loved his teammates like brothers and respected each and every one of their women. They’d all been through hell and they deserved their current happiness. But seeing the love between his friends and their women made it tough to be the odd man out all the time.

Jessyka Allen had a good life, until it wasn’t anymore. Finding herself in an impossible situation, with no noticeable way out, her job was an escape. Working at the small Bar and Grill put her in contact with some wonderful people, who Jess figured couldn’t ever understand what she was going through.

Being a SEAL, Benny thought he knew the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. But Jess would show him that everything he thought he knew about sacrifice, trust, and love, paled in comparison to what she brought into his world.

**Protecting Jessyka is the 6th book in the SEAL of Protection Series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s recommended you read the books in order to get maximum enjoyment out of the series.

Review

I absolutely love this series, and this one was just as good as the rest. I admit I have been waiting for this one ever since Jess was introduced in the first one. Jess and Benny have it as hard as the others have in their journey to be together, of Susan Stoker never makes it easy on her heroines or her heroes. That doesn't stop me from loving every minute of the story though and I can't wait for the net one to arrive. The build up for Tex's story is truly killing me. Please if you haven't yet get not only this book but the whole series, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Review

Fall Back

This was another sweet military romance by Author Zoe York. I really love her SEALS undone series and look forward to reading more in the future. Mel and Case's story is about finding that balance between independence and a relationship, while hard for Mel it doesn't mean it isn't worth trying. I loved this story and hope you do too.




Her Treasure Hunter Ex

I loved this book. It's a great introduction to a new series in a town of people we already love. I avidly read the Ballybeg series and am seriously looking forward to this next installment of Ballybeg citizens. Katie and Dex's stories of love reunited and intrigue below sea level is amazing and I recommend every Ballybeg lover read this.




Among Galactic Ruins

This was an amazing story. I rarely find myself reading sci-fi romance novels, but I'm glad I took a chance on this one. The characters not only are searching for amazing lost artifacts, but also seem to find themselves and each other on their journey. I believe I have found not only a new author but perhaps a new genre after reading this, and hope you will take a chance on this story like I did. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Review

Fall Dark
I absolutely loved this book. Second chance love stories are some of the best, I love when two people who are miserable without each other find their way back to one another. Larken and Vince have had a tough time of it in the past few years, but when they meet up again after 12 years sparks fly and the story that follows is wonderful and so romantic.
