A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE FOR DAISY BY JANE PORTER
Release Date: November 23, 2015
SYNOPSIS
Media Mogul, Cormac Sheenan, had no desire to become a family man, but when his two year old goddaughter, Daisy, is orphaned, he adopts her, moving her from Montana to his home in Southern California, and becomes a devoted single father, juggling parenting duties with running his successful publishing, TV, and radio enterprise.
But two years later a frightening incident at Daisy’s school, shakes Cormac, and he decides to move Daisy–and his business–back to Montana where life is simpler and he has family nearby.
Now four, precocious Daisy strikes up an unlikely friendship with Marietta’s seasonal Santa Claus, and believes he’s the real thing, even though Cormac points out to her that this jolly old Kris Kringle is renting a room at Bramble House, not living at the North Pole. Daisy’s not worried but Cormac is as Rent-a-Santa has promised his innocent daughter she’ll have a mommy for Christmas.
Cormac is livid with Kris. He’s not at all ready to settle down, and he’s definitely not getting back together with his old flame Whitney Alder, so Santa can stop playing match maker as it’d take a miracle to make him fall in love, never mind marriage material.
But that’s exactly the kind of miracle our angelic Santa Claus has planned…
REVIEW: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE FOR DAISY BY JANE PORTER
My Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Every little girl's night in shining armor. Ever big girl's fantasy come true. If there is one book that can not be missed A Christmas Miracle for Daisy by Jane Porter is it. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. Daisy and Cormac were an inspiration. Very quickly they developed an attachment and it was so beautiful to watch this big, strong man become putty in this little girl's hands. I received this story on Monday morning and had finished it that night. Despite a couple of false starts, some hard to deliver promises and a crazy Santa, Cormac and Daisy found Christmas Miracle in Whitney. Jane Porter delivered a story that has all the makings of holiday movie, but can be enjoyed all year round.
COME TO ME BY OBERON WONCH
Release Date: November 23, 2015
SYNOPSIS
Comte Grégoire FitzHenri, the new Earl of Shyleburgh, is known for his prowess as one of the Norman Conquerer’s most favored warriors...but not for his romantic sensibility or his command of the English language. Grégoire looks forward to his imminent marriage with his seneschal’s beautiful daughter, his longtime betrothed. But as a rough-hewn soldier, he wishes to enchant the elegant lady before taking their wedding vows—which means an interpreter...and much-needed lessons in courtly love.
The clever Bridget of Shyleburgh has been secretly in love with Grégoire since his visit as a dashing young warrior—when he was promised in marriage to her sister. But when he returns five years later as their new earl, Bridget is tasked with translating for him—including his love letters and somewhat awkward attempts to woo her sister. Mortified at first, Bridget soon finds herself completely charmed by his whispers of love and desire. She never expected such tenderness...or such wicked temptation... from a man like him. Grégoire’s heated missives tempt a fair maiden to stray down a path filled with forbidden pleasures.
But his words are meant for another…aren’t they?

REVIEW: COME TO ME BY OBERON WONCH
Come to Me by Oberon Wonch
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Bridget made in an act of despair made a decision that has consequences could have far reaching consequences. Come to Me is a love that is almost ethereal. Oberon Wonch does a wonderful job of exploring the balance between forbidden love, painful decisions and the balance between right and wrong. I requested an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley. Bridget was not a person who jumped into a situation without weighing the consequences. Having endured the heartbreaks that were put before her I think she went a little crazy and let confusion allow her to end of in regrettable circumstances. A wonderful starting point.

The Accidental Engagement by Maggie Dallen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
After all the serious and heartrending stories that I encounter on a regular basis through fiction (books) and reality (media), it is nice to be able to sit down and read a story that has no impact on world events or will leave me in tears. The Accidental Engagement is light, engaging fun. The characters are awkwardly appealing and the story is a sugary sweet masquerade. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A Billionaire Between the Sheets by Katie Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
When is the second book of this series going to be available? A Billionaire Between the Sheets has it all. Shocking reveals, corporate takeovers, lingerie, drama and obsession. There is so much happening that if you look away for a minute something could be missed. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This novel and me were attached at the hip until the very end. The actions of previous generations were the catalyst that lead Deacon to Olivia. This story was so much bigger than Olivia and Deacon's love, it was also about coming to terms with the past. The ricochet left by the pieces of a broken heart proved vital in the outcome of healing a family. Impressive read.

Release Date: November 24, 2015

Chante Britt is nobody’s fool—and she’s definitely not standing by her cheating ex-fiancé and current mayoral candidate, Robert Montgomery. Too bad he chose to tell the media otherwise.

The man is arrogant, way too forward—and way too sexy…
Newly divorced and dealing with a scandal of his own, Zach should stay clear of all women. Yet something about Chante draws him in—maybe it’s the drink she throws in his face after his too-hot-to-handle surprise kiss. Still, Zach firmly believes they can help each other take the edge off. And once he gets her to agree, what could have been a fling promises to be much more—until their personal and public dramas catch up with them. Will past wrongs keep them from finally having the love that’s right?

FIGHTING DIRTY (WORTH THE FIGHT #5) BY SIDNEY HALSTON
Release Date: November 24, 2015
SYNOPSIS
If you love the MMA romances of Vi Kreeland and Kendall Ryan, Sidney Halston’s Worth the Fight series will knock your socks off! In Fighting Dirty, a geek-chic cage fighter proves that appearances can be deceiving . . . and oh-so-tempting.
With his preppy clothes and horn-rimmed glasses, Enzo Silva is the last dude anyone expects to find in a mixed martial arts gym. A wealthy Brazilian banker who never had to fight for anything, Enzo’s stuck in the amateur circuit—but he burns to make the pros. Maybe that explains the heat he feels whenever he’s around Jamie Lynn Calhoun. The pint-size, magenta-haired bartender with the Texas drawl is everything he’s not . . . and everything he craves.
Tough as nails and independent to a fault, Jamie Lynn—JL to her friends—works hard to pay her bills and keep life simple. Enzo is doing his best to complicate that. Even though she likes to bust his balls, he’s got some kind of a nerdy-hot vibe that makes JL wonder if she might finally be able to let her guard down. It might do the boy some good to spend some time in her world, where blood, sweat, and victory are as sweet as the first taste of real love.

The difference between living and existing is up to you. That is the central theme of Sidney Halston's latest novel Fighting Dirty.

Lorenzo has wealth but is not happy and his fortune has become a noose he wears daily. Sidney Halston via her Worth the Fight series has penned stories that are full of beauty, bravery and characters that capture the imagination and heart.

His All Night by Elle Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Reading is one of my favorite things to do. Opening a book helps me to relax, clear my mind and escape for a little while. Elle Wright was brought to my attention via a previous book that was recommended to me. I did not get a chance to read that yet but decided to try out some of her other novels. His All Night was up for request on NetGalley so I figured I would see what all the fuss was about. It is exciting to me when I discover a story that takes place in my home state. When this happens it is easier to put a picture to a location because you don't have to travel far to visit. That was a huge plus for me with this story. With His All Night, Ms. Write has written a story that is sexy but not explicitly so and addictive.

Love on a Summer Night by Zoe York
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Zoe York is known for signature stories that are sensitive, passionate and emotion charged. All of those words describe Love On a Summer Night. This novel is standard Zoe York with a little bit more edge. Zander is more tense, moody and has a lot more baggage than the average hero in one of Ms. York's reads. The twists and turns he has traveled may have something to do with that. The heroine Faith is a nurturer that is floundering and trying to find a new direction. I received an ARC of Love on A Summer Night in exchange for an honest review. It surprised me how well this couple worked. So different but so perfect for each other. Zander provided Faith with the courage to give love another try and Faith gave Zander the guidance, protection and understanding he needed to get past his tumultuous memories. Shouldn't have worked but it somehow did.

REVIEW: WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: JACKSON BY MELISSA FOSTER
Jackson by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Redundant am I? Melissa Foster should be proud of the Wild Boys After Dark series. She combined sexy tales with emotional journeys of healing, wisdom,love and forgiveness. What I find so compelling about this series is that each man handled the tragic events surrounding their father's death in a different way. Logan felt guilty for not protecting them when they needed him most. Heath figures being in control will not leave him vulnerable. Jackson and Cooper seem more analytical. Logically they know nothing could have been done but are emotionally tormented by it all. Jackson's torment ate at him. It almost cost him his best friend Laney. He internalized all the pain and push everyone away. His father's death felt like a rejection to him and he did not want to feel that pain again. I received an ARC of Jackson (Wild Boys After Dark #3) for an honest review. With all of these exceptional stories Cooper(Wild Boys After Dark #4) has a lot to live up to.

The Billionaire's Secret: Billionaire Obsession by Julie Farrell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have read each and every one of the Tycoon Billionaire series. Julie Farrell is good at creating characters that are sexy, complicated and rich. Jake fit the mold of complexity and was eye catching in a take charge kind of way. Once you noticed him, it was inevitable. He is not easily forgotten. That however is where the similarities between him and his brothers ended. Jake did not sit around and wait for trouble to find him, he usually headed straight for it. Jake was a lot less polished because of his life experiences but he also had a well of hidden emotions that was waiting to be set free.
Just like his brothers he also has a huge capacity for love and will let nothing prevent him from finding his hearts desire. I received an ARC of The Billionaire's Secret in exchange for an honest review. It was a pleasureful experience getting to know Jake and despite the hardship he and Astride had to endure.I am glad they took me along for the ride.

A good heroine should be strong-willed and not afraid to stand her ground. She should be able to stand side by side with the hero and not be overshadowed.

Sweetest Scoundrel would not have worked as well without these two characters leading the pack. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW: DUKES ARE FOREVER (THE SECRET LIFE OF SCOUNDRELS #1) BY ANNA HARRINGTON
Dukes Are Forever by Anna Harrington
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A sweet and salty romance. Anna Harrington is an author that will be on my radar regularly in the future. I requested an ARC if Dukes are Forever in exchange for an honest review. Ms. Harrington's work is a cross between Gone with the Wind and Beauty and the Beast. In Kate she found a character that was not a weakling but was forced to endure having little to no control over her circumstances. I liked her because her personality was one of a fighter. She would not let herself be taken advantage of. Didn't like Edward, AT FIRST. The hotheaded temperament he had made him come off as a jerk to me. His emotions led him to make some questionable choices. I did not like how he tried to railroad Kate. Dukes are Forever was wild, seductive, imaginative and bedazzling. I enjoyed it and look forward to hearing more from this author.
