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…

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 (MODERN FAIRYTALES) BY DIANE ALBERTS
Release Date: June 20, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Alicia Forkes went to a trendy club looking for a way to forget her troubles, and she found that in the arms of the gorgeous man who swept her off of her feet…and into one of the hottest encounters she’d ever had in her life. Awesome sex with a stranger is now something she can check off her bucket list.
Except he isn’t exactly a stranger. He’s the guy who broke her heart when they were teens, an experience she doesn’t plan on repeating.
Prince Leo can’t believe he’s finally found the woman he’s loved for years, and she wants nothing to do with him. When she shows up at his office, she looks anything but princess-like. In fact, she’s cursing him to hell and back. She may not be Cinderella, but he’s determined to prove he’s the prince for her––even if it means letting her go.

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.
