REVIEW: CHEEKY KING (ROYALS UNDERCOVER) BY NANA MALONE
Cheeky King by Nana Malone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It's been a long time coming. Cheeky Prince issued an invitation, Cheeky Royal set the stage and Cheeky King is the final chapter of the diary of Sebastian and Penny's forbidden romance. Nana Malone has created an adventurous tale of dangerous treachery, heartbreaking loss and undying love. The life of a Prince is never ordinary, but in Sebastian's case can prove deadly on so many levels. I don't say this often, but the Royals Undercover series, should really be read completely and in order. There were many red herrings on display in Cheeky Royal and Cheeky King finally reveals all. Their's was a romance years in the making, but the King finally gets his Queen.

REVIEW: UNWRITTEN (ROCK STAR DUET) BY RACHEL LACEY
Unwritten by Rachel Lacey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Lacey makes it easy to get lost in romance. Empathy, humor and a pinch of sentiment come together to mix a bit of classic fairytale fantasy with the realism of life. Unwritten is not that unique, but the devil is in the details. The heart is there, the yearning is evident and the hope for a happy ending is an irresistible draw. The woman that seems to have it all, comes to realize she never had a clue. The dream she found is not the one she wants. It takes a scandalous development, to lead her to where she belongs. Josh is the home that Katherine, never knew she wanted. Can she convince the man of her dreams, that he's all that she needs to be happy? Simply sweet romance.

In the next sizzling romance in Kristen Proby's New York Times bestselling Fusion series, two celebrity chefs compete in a culinary competition, but resisting each other will prove to be the greater challenge.
Cooking isn't what Mia Palazzo does, it's who she is. Food is her passion . . . her pride . . . her true love. She's built a stellar menu full of delicious and sexy meals for her restaurant, Seduction. Now, after being open for only a few short years, Mia’s restaurant is being featured on Best Bites TV. To say Seduction is a wild success is an understatement. All the blood, sweat, tears, and endless hours of work Mia has put into the restaurant has finally paid off.
Then Camden Sawyer, the biggest mistake of her life, walks into her kitchen . . .
Camden's celebrity chef status is world-renowned. He's the best there is, and the kitchen is where he's most at home. He can't resist the invitation to Portland for a showdown against Mia for a new television show. Mia was in his life years ago, and just like before, he's met his match in the beautiful Italian spitfire. The way she commands the kitchen is mesmerizing, and her recipes are clever and delicious. He's never had qualms about competition, and this is no different. He can't wait to go head to head with Mia. But can he convince her the chemistry they share in the kitchen would be just as great in the bedroom as well?
As Mia and Camden face off, neither realizes how high the stakes are as their reputations are put on the line and their hearts are put to the ultimate test.
