A MAN OF HONOR (KINGSTON FAMILY) BY MIRANDA LIASSON
Release Date: June 20, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Former Army Captain and venture capitalist Preston Guthrie has always had a thing for Cat Kingston, but he never felt like he could date his best friend’s sister. Plus, he’s a wrong-side-of-the-tracks guy and she’s a white-picket-fence kind of woman. Yet when they met again just before he was deployed, sparks flew. A fire ignited. And the heat was hot. For the first time, he thought a relationship with her might be possible…until an injury in the war changed everything…
Journalist Cat Kingston had a rough couple of years, surviving a broken engagement and the loss of her job. But connecting with Preston last fall seemed right. They shared steamy Skype sessions while he was overseas—until he was wounded, and cut her off without explanation. Now he’s back in town to be the Best Man for her sister’s wedding…and she wants answers.
Preston’s struggling with a leg wound, but the war scarred him on the inside, too. When Cat pays him a surprise visit and her brother catches them in a compromising position, Preston tells him they’re dating. He’s not sure how he can spend the entire wedding week fake-dating her when the chemistry between them feels anything but…

REVIEW: A MAN OF HONOR (KINGSTON FAMILY) BY MIRANDA LIASSON
A Man of Honor by Miranda Liasson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Using humor to address a serious subject is rapidly becoming the perfect antidote for emotional stories. Miranda Liasson does so in such a way that I forgot I was reading and became involved in Preston and Cat's romance. That's the greatest compliment an author can ever receive in my point of view. A Man of Honor tackles adjusting after life changing circumstances force change to come about. A wounded soldier struggling with injury and scars mentally and physically has to learn it's okay to be vulnerable again and let light into your soul. A woman seeking closure on a whirlwind relationship proves be a wonderful healing tonic on his road to recovery.

The Prince's Bride by Diane Alberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A great blend of fantasy, reality and romance. True soap opera material. Alicia has had so many let downs and emotional upheavals in her life she needs a change. Too bad her biggest heartache is about to have a miraculous resurrection. I enjoy reading stories where you get the escape you want, the heat you crave and the twists you don't expect. The Prince's Bride by Diane Alberts has all these plus more. A woman's fantasy come to life.

REVIEW: A FALSE PROPOSAL BY PAMELA MINGLE
A False Proposal by Pamela Mingle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Politics, conspiracy and romance make for a lethal combination. I was so sure that this was another suspense romance. Arranged engagements and intriguing alliances. In need of a break from those I hoped for the best when I turned the first page of Pamela Mingles's romantic read. Ms. Mingle won me over the minute I met Cass. She has every reason to close herself off from emotional connections. Love has left her heart in shambles and with a fear of every opening herself to more pain in the future. I expected her to be a overly sensitive but that was not her. She was fighter and I enjoyed that part of her personality. She was in constant conflict with herself because despite what her head told her, her heart wanted the opposite. The strength of her characters and the amount of heart that went into A False Proposal is what I found exceptional.

REVIEW: DIRTY SEXY CUFFED (DIRTY SEXY # 3) BY CARLY PHILLIPS & ERIKA WILDE
Dirty Sexy Cuffed by Carly Phillips
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There are many things to love about Erika Wilde and Carly Phillips Dirty Sexy series. The level of intensity is high, the sensuality is wicked and the guys are to die for. One subject that is not up for debate is that these men may have learned some hard lessons but they love hard and instantaneously. It takes a strong woman to tame a Kincaid brother. Dirty Sexy Cuffed is Levi's turn up to the plate. His family is his anchor. His job is his proudest achievement and his responsibilities are not ones to be taken lightly. His secret desires are what leads him to Sarah. Sarah is not what she seems and the twists that kept leading them together are also the ones that could tear them apart. Levi's story was not as clear as Clay and Mason's. There were links that I never saw coming in this story of sex, secrets and mystery. Kept me guessing. The most explosive reveal was saved for last. I received an ARC of Dirty Sexy Cuffed in exchange for an honest review. More on the suspense side than the previous two but nobody can do seduction like these two authors.

The Tycoon's Vacation: Billionaire Obsession by Julie Farrell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Entering into Daisy and Michael's story felt like waiting for a bomb to go off. I expected a different story completely than I ended up getting. On the plus side she brought the suspense like never before. Ms. Farrell is known for her exciting stories that pack a heated punch and she delivered that yet again. My worry is that it may have been a little too much a thrill. I was so turned around trying to figure out who would come out ahead in this game of cat and mouse, it was hard to keep the story straight.

BAD BOYS AFTER DARK: MICK BY MELISSA FOSTER
Release Date: June 22, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Everything's naughtier after dark...
Amanda Jenner is done being a boring-man magnet and has finally taken control of her love life. As any smart paralegal would, she’s researched the hell out of how to seduce a man. She’s waxed, primped, and ready to put her newfound skills into action—and a masquerade bar crawl is the perfect venue for her solo coming-out party.
Entertainment attorney Mick Bad lives by two hard and fast rules. He never mixes business with pleasure, and he doesn’t do relationships, which makes the anonymity of a masquerade bar crawl the perfect place for a onetime hookup.
Amanda thinks she’s hit the jackpot when she bags a tall, dark, and sinfully delicious masked man—until she discovers the man she’s made out with is her off-limits boss. Mick’s already crossed a line he can never uncross, and one taste of sweet and sexy Amanda has only whet his appetite. When Mick offers to give Amanda a lesson in seduction—no strings, no regrets, and for goodness’ sake, come Monday, no quitting—the tables turn, and Mick’s totally unprepared for the lessons this sweet temptress provides.
The Bad Boys are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series.
