FOR SEVEN NIGHTS ONLY (CHASE BROTHERS # 2) BY SARAH BALLANCE

 

 

Release DateJanuary 18, 2016

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

Kelsie Reed is over bad luck and bad men. Newly dumped, she’s now the pathetically single maid of honor in her sister's wedding—and her ex is the best man. Her bad luck continues when a plumbing meltdown in her apartment sends her sexy neighbor running to her rescue. He’s got "serial dater" written all over him, which is unfortunate because the man is hot.

Sawyer Chase loves women, but settling down? He’ll leave that to his brothers. But when Kelsie confesses she’s a dating disaster and is about to become the laughing stock of her family wedding, Sawyer takes control. He's got one week to teach her how to land the man of her dreams, and he’ll do it on her terms: no touching, no kissing, and definitely nothing more.

But some rules need to be broken, especially when, for once, there’s something on the line worth fighting for…

For Seven Nights OnlyFor Seven Nights Only by Sarah Ballance

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Clueless male bites off more than he bargained for. I received an ARC of For Seven Nights Only in exchange for an honest review. Sarah Ballance provided a wonderful balance of heart and entertainment. The teacher became the student. Along the way learning that sexiness is more than a fun time and a cheap thrill. With Ms. Ballance the stories are not over dramatized but still pack an emotional wallop.

HER SECRET LOVER (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY ROBIN COVINGTON

 

 

Release DateJanuary 18, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Kelsey Kyle will do whatever it takes to get into the management trainee program at the casino where she works. So when she’s given the opportunity to get a VIP customer’s endorsement for the program, she jumps at the challenge. All she needs to do is arrange a one-on-one fan experience with the woman’s favorite author, tall-dark-and-intense Micah Holmes.

An entire week at a Vegas romance readers’ convention, surrounded by hundreds of people, is Micah Holmes’ idea of hell. But one look at Kelsey, his assigned hotel concierge, and the attraction is immediate. Maybe this week won’t be so bad after all…

Anything beyond a “strictly professional” relationship will get Kelsey fired, but she needs to get close to Micah to get the super fan experience her client wants. Hot sex in her apartment pool begins a game of “undercover lover” that quickly escalates to something more. But when Micah discovers her secret agenda, all bets are off.

REVIEW: HER SECRET LOVER (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY ROBIN COVINGTON

 

Her Secret LoverHer Secret Lover by Robin Covington

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Mitch To Kelsey: " Holy hell, Kelsey, it's like a horny Crayola box exploded all over the floor... " (Her Secret Lover quote)

Awkward! Talk about making a lasting impression. This story was a comedic gold mine. Micah is not what one would expect in a romance author. Slightly awkward recluse with a charm that shines through the geekiness. Oh yeah and he's all male and straight. Kelsey is his biggest fan and as his personal concierge she has to see to his every need. I received an ARC of her secret lover in exchange for an honest review.

Robin Covington created a story that screams temptation. The twist of a male romance writer is something not seen very often and at romance convention no less. A cute read that I would recommend.

LOVING HER CRAZY (CRAZY LOVE # 3) BY KIRA ARCHER

 

Release DateJanuary 18, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Iris Clayton is supposed to be on a tropical island, soaking up the sun and a few dozen mojitos. Instead, she’s snowbound in Chicago overnight, holding out hope the morning flight isn’t cancelled. Good thing there’s a hot cowboy to keep her company. And it doesn’t hurt that Mr. Tall, Calm, and Sun-Streaked can make her tremble with one sultry look from under his well-worn hat.

Montana rancher Nash Wallace sucks at ice skating, has no clue what a selfie is, and may be a tad averse to breaking and entering, but being with Iris makes him want to bend a few rules. Or, hell, throw them out the window altogether. She’s fun, spontaneously crazy, and can rock a Muppet fur coat like no one’s business. He’s falling hard and fast, but wanting to spend his life with someone after one night is insane.

Except, nothing has ever felt so right, and neither of them wants the night to end…

REVIEW:  LOVING HER CRAZY (CRAZY LOVE # 3) BY KIRA ARCHER

 

Loving Her CrazyLoving Her Crazy by Kira Archer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Kira Archer is an author that at the end of a hard day and you are feeling kind of down, you can count on her stories to pick you up and turn the day around. Her characters are written with a sweetness that borders on mischievous and will touch the darkest heart with their unpredictability. I received an ARC of Loving Her Crazy in exchange for an honest review. I found it funny and marvelous. Iris is a whirlwind who hides her true feelings behind jokes and her brash attitude. Nash is blown away by her but has resigned himself to being a loner. The Crazy Love series is appealing, entertaining and a great escape that is worth every trip.

WHEN WE KISS (RIBBON RIDGE #5) BY DARCY BURKE

 

 

Release Date:  January 19, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Denver real estate mogul, Liam Archer, has always been a thrill-seeker, and the loss of his identical twin brother has only intensified his reckless behavior. Sky diving, heli-skiing, motorcycle riding…he’s tried everything once. Except falling in love. Liam doesn’t do relationships, but a no-strings fling with Aubrey Tallinger—the smart, gorgeous lawyer handling his brother’s estate—is totally his speed.

At first, hooking up with Liam whenever he’s in Ribbon Ridge is perfect; but Aubrey fears she could fall hard for the sexy daredevil, if he’d only stop refusing to acknowledge the demons he’s trying to outrun. To protect herself from heartbreak, Aubrey ends their affair. But this time, Liam isn’t leaving town and instead of seduction, he wants to be…friends.

The white hot attraction between them still sizzles but Liam knows that winning Aubrey back won’t happen in his bed. He’ll have to convince her that he’s more than the careless, adrenaline junkie she believes him to be. Because when they kiss, Liam feels whole again… and he isn’t ready to give her up without a fight.

REVIEW:  WHEN WE KISS (RIBBON RIDGE #5) BY DARCY BURKE

 

When We Kiss (Ribbon Ridge, #5)When We Kiss by Darcy Burke

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


There is no right or wrong way to grieve. No time limit to how long. Although Liam's way may have seemed a little extreme that was his way of enduring. I received an ARC of When We Kiss by Darcy Burke in exchange for an honest review. Liam's daredevil tendencies served two purposes. It helped him escape the pain of losing his twin brother but it also helped him to feel alive. I think he used it as a punishment to himself for not saving his brother. Aubrey becomes a link to his brother. Her sympathy for his loss and dedication to her job is what brings them together. i like to think their meeting was his twin's way of tying up lose ends and letting Liam know when it was time to move on. These Archer's know how to break a heart but Darcy Burke knows how to repair it. I love this series.

REVIEW:  DIRTY SEXY SAINT (DIRTY SEXY #1) BY CARLY PHILLIPS & ERIKA WILDE

 

 

Dirty Sexy Saint (Dirty Sexy, #1)Dirty Sexy Saint by Carly Phillips

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde what a combination. I have been a fan of Ms. Phillips since I read her first Dare novels. In her stories you experience well developed characters. You get to see their inner struggles and all the emotions that have made them who they are. Clay was the perfect muse for her. Where he came from allowed him to see the world differently and help others whenever he could. Erika Wilde brought the spice. Her stories are seductive with a capital S. These two authors blended so well together that it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began. Dirty Sexy Saint is a story that is full of warmth, dimensional and all you would expect from two bestselling authors.

REVIEW:  MY RECKLESS VALENTINE (LOVESTRUCK LIBRARIANS) BY OLIVIA DADE

 

My Reckless Valentine (Lovestruck Librarians, #2)My Reckless Valentine by Olivia Dade

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Olivia Dade took my view of libraries and librarians in a whole new direction. Staid and regimented Grant and free thinking but goodhearted Angie set the books on fire in My Reckless Valentine. What I liked about this story is that there were personality differences, job stipulations and life struggles that weighed heavily on these peoples lives. Yet despite it all they find freedom when together. This story stirs up a great many feelings but is largely about learning accept a person flaws and all. Falling in love breaks all the rules but pays off in the end. I received an ARC of My Reckless Valentine in exchange for an honest review.

Release Date:  January 19, 2016

 

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

This charmer just needs a little attention…

Spinning Hills, Ohio sure is sweet, which might be why the Amador brothers are not only renovating the town’s lovely houses, but settling down in them. Because there’s nothing more blissful than coming home to a houseful of love…


Masquerade parties were not exactly Johnny Amador’s thing—until he found himself captivated by a witty, dark-eyed young woman in a peasant costume. Even her mask couldn’t obscure her beauty. Only after a disastrous case of mistaken identity did he discover that his mystery woman was none other than Marissa Medina, his best friend’s youngest sister—which brings a whole new set of challenges.

Marissa never forgot the night she and Johnny kissed—the feelings that flared to life. Not that she’s going to give the too handsome, too sexy charmer a chance. She knows how dangerous Johnny is and she can’t surrender to him at any cost. But that’s a tall order now that he’s showing how dedicated he is to turning his own fixer-upper—and his life—into the stuff of her dreams.

Fixer-Upper (Spinning Hills, #3)Fixer-Upper by Inés Saint

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I received an ARC of Fixer Upper in exchange for an honest review. I have really come to enjoy Ines Saint's imaginative Spinning Hills series. She takes subjects that fascinate me such as romance and renovation and centers stories that are delightful, uplifting and hilarious but still wonderful around them. Not to be missed.

REVIEW:  HELL ON HEELS (HOTEL RODEO #1)  BY VICTORIA VANE

 

Hell on Heels (Hotel Rodeo, #1)Hell on Heels by Victoria Vane

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A pleasant surprise. I have read some of Ms. Vane's work in the past so I am familiar with her as an author. Love her historical romances. I had no idea that she wrote contemporary romance though. I received an ARC of Hell on Heels in exchange for an honest review. At the beginning it was touch and go for me. The build up to the intro between the main characters seemed far too drawn out. Once it happened however there was no going back. The tension permeated off the page in every interaction between Ty and Monica. There was no clear favorite for me in their steamy battle enjoyed it so much that that I am looking forward reading more contemporary from this author.

Earning a Ring (More Than a Game, #4)Earning a Ring by Kristina Mathews

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Sports stories are not my forte but romance is. Kristina Matthews got me to stop and take notice with Earning a Ring. Once I got past the baseball references I actually enjoyed Bryce and Rachel. Busy careers, fiery personalities and attention getting characters made for an intriguing romance. I am not one who likes to give too much of a story away but I will say that learning to compromise was key to making this relationship work. This author is new to me and would enjoy reading more of her work in the future.

NOW AND THEN (DARE TO LOVE # 3) BY MIRA LYN KELLY

 

 

Release Date:January 19, 2016  

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Brynn Ahearn is gorgeous, fun, and not just a sports nut but an NBA camera woman whose work takes her all over the country. In other words, she’s a walking male fantasy—or at least, she would be if she weren’t so busy keeping the guys at bay. The fact is, with Brynn’s con-man father fresh out of jail and back in her life, dating is just too risky. Haunted by memories of her past, she couldn’t ask any man to gamble with his life for love—even one as addictive as Ford Meyers.

Ford can’t believe his luck when he walks into a bar in Chicago’s Wicker Park and gets an eyeful of Brynn, the one that got away. After the gorgeous redhead blew him off in college, Ford got on with his life and made his fortune as a bestselling game designer, but he’s never found a woman who compared to Brynn. No stranger to success, Ford is used to getting what he wants—and after a scorching stolen kiss, what he wants is a second shot with his first love. To get it, he just has to convince her that he’s man enough to take on the past she can’t leave behind.

REVIEW:  NOW AND THEN (DARE TO LOVE # 3) BY MIRA LYN KELLY

 

Now and Then (Dare to Love, #3)Now and Then by Mira Lyn Kelly

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Mira Lynn Kelly brings the emotion, supplies the romance and throws in a few secrets as well. Now and Then is everything that I would want a second chance romance to be. To the outside world Brynn looks like she has it all together but in really she has been slowly falling apart for years. Struggling with anger and shame due to events beyond her control. Ford is her long lost love and her second chance to get her life right. I thought that Ms. Kelly wrote an empowering story about the benefits of love, faith and moving forward.

TO CATCH A LADY (HUNT CLUB #1) BY PAMELA LABUD

 

 

 

Release DateJanuary 19, 2016

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

If you love Mary Balogh and Eloisa James, don’t miss Pamela Labud’s sensuous Hunt Club series! To Catch a Lady introduces four lordly, rakish sportsmen whose bachelor paradise is threatened by a matchmaking aunt—and by the sting of unexpected love.

Ashton Blakely, the Duke of Summerton, cannot stop his aunt from meddling in his affairs. So rather than let her select a most disagreeable mate, Ashton decides to fire the first volley by holding a ball as a scheme to bag the ideal wife: a deferential girl eager to produce and raise an heir, leaving Ashton to his beloved hunting lodge and titled friends. But when Ashton falls for the one woman who isn’t willing to play his game, all his plans scatter like buckshot. Suddenly, the chase is on!

Caroline Hawkins has no interest in marriage. In fact, she has devoted her life to defending women from the indignities visited upon them by their husbands. She only chaperones her beautiful younger sister to Summerton’s ball in the hopes of saving her family from bankruptcy. She certainly doesn’t expect to catch the Duke’s eye . . . nor is she prepared for the heat that rises every time she thinks of his powerful build or his dark, tantalizing gaze. Caroline can run, but she cannot hide—for Ashton has already captured her heart.

REVIEWTO CATCH A LADY (HUNT CLUB #1) BY PAMELA LABUD

 

To Catch a Lady (Hunt Club, #1)To Catch a Lady by Pamela Labud

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I am a regular reader of romance. Enjoy reading contemporary and historical but my personal preference has always been historical. The spectacular parties where anything can happen, the chance of finding adventure and romance around every corner. The breathtaking characters that are shrouded in mystery or desperation. I just loved it. I received an ARC of To Catch a Lady in exchange for an honest review.

Caroline is the type of character I love to read about. She is not worried about what her peers think of her but, she wants to make a difference in the world. Ashton is a charmer that has the looks, title and the obligations of a nobleman but prefers a more carefree existence. The makeup of this story reminded me so much of the Catherine Maxwell stories I used to read as a teen. Ashton and Caroline's transformation into a couple was a little bit frustration, a little wicked but a whole lot of marvelous.

SYNOPSIS

 

He doesn’t need his eyes to uncover her true beauty.

The League of Rogues, Book 3

Cedric, Viscount Sheridan, is cursed. Once the ton’s golden boy, the loss of his sight has left him a reclusive shell of man. His days of womanizing, horse racing and pistol shooting lost forever.

Offered the chance to recapture a small part of his old life, he can’t refuse—even if it means accepting the shocking proposal of the infamous ice maiden, Anne Chessley.

Still reeling from her father’s death, Anne’s deepest wish is to avoid the hordes of fortune hunters who will soon be beating down her door. Proposing marriage to Cedric is an act of desperation, his unexpected acceptance a strange and wonderful dream.

His only stipulation: she must respond passionately and wantonly in his bed. Her agreement barely crosses her lips before he begins a sensual assault on the icy walls bitter secrets have built around her heart.

Yet even as they catch a glimpse of true happiness, betrayal is poised to sweep them away on opposing tides of danger.

Warning
: Contains an outwardly aloof heroine with a secretly tender heart, a once-notorious rake who isn’t quite as rusty at seduction as he feared, and a band of rogues who join together to make sure happily-ever-afters do come true.

REVIEWHER WICKED PROPOSAL (THE LEAGUE OF THE ROGUES # 3) BY LAUREN SMITH

 

Her Wicked Proposal (The League of Rogues, #3)Her Wicked Proposal by Lauren Smith

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The connection between the two main characters is what made Her Wicked Proposal such a beautiful story. Neither wanted to need each other and considered themselves to be flawed in some way but that is what made Anna and Cedric's story such a breathtaking discovery. Cedric's torment is so real it screams from every page. Anna wants more than just to be wanted for her fortune. She wants to be loved for herself not what she has, but who she is. In my opinion that is why she had such empathy for Cedric. This story is so well thought out it is almost hard to forget that it comes with a mystery mixed in. Her Wicked Proposal is a compassionate love story that is as puzzling as it is perfect. The seamless presentation makes it a worthy excursion. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW:  UNRAVELED (UNDONE #2.5) BY JENNIFER DAWSON

 

Unraveled (Undone, #2.5)Unraveled by Jennifer Dawson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Ms. Dawson is very good stimulating the senses. Whether dark and dreary, fun and light or sensuous her stories get a reaction. That is what I love about her writing. She is not afraid to try something new. With Unraveled I am on the fence. She goes full throttle with the sexiness, throws in some heart but I did not enjoy it as much as I have some of her previous stories. Some of the scenarios were disturbing and took away from the story instead of added to it. Unraveled is a little edgier than the previous books in this series.

THE ROGUE DEBUTANTE (BEAU MONDE CHRONICLES # 1) BY MAGGIE DALLEN

 

 

Release Date:  January 22, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

A rebellion is brewing and everyone must pick a side....even pirates and debutantes.

Delia Langley has been a prisoner all her life - a prisoner to high society and its conventions. A prisoner to her wealthy father's overprotective measures. A prisoner to a fiance-to-be in an arrangement made by her father to have a royal heir. In fact, the only time in her life that Delia ever felt free was when she was captured by the much-feared pirate Blackheart and his crew, and held for months while her father negotiated her ransom.

Now nineteen, Delia is ready to leave another prison, the manmade "city in the sky," Beau Monde, where she's been tucked away, high above London all these many years. Her marriage to Lord Thaddeus Templeton will be announced after her debutante ball, and the wheels will be set in motion for Delia to take her place as a proper society lady. Except she has other plans. Masquerading as Madame X, a French pirate, Delia has arranged to purchase her own pirate airship from the mysterious "Professor." But her well-laid plan for escape has no room for distractions. Especially not Nicholas Crawley, the dashing, bachelor son of the family that's hosting Delia during her London visit. He's ruggedly handsome - and he's impossible. She doesn't expect to fall for him, but there's no denying the electricity that surges between them. A future with him would ruin everything, but her attraction to him is only one of many surprises poised to thwart her pirating plans in this charming steampunk tale.

REVIEW:  THE ROGUE DEBUTANTE (BEAU MONDE CHRONICLES # 1) BY MAGGIE DALLEN

 

 

The Rogue Debutante (Beau Monde Chronicles, # 1)The Rogue Debutante by Maggie Dallen

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



How would I describe The Rogue Debutante? An unorthodox escapade that is hard to follow but worth taking a chance on. I received an ARC of Maggie Dallen's novel in exchange for an honest review. Delia, the title character after years of captivity, neglect and taking orders has decided to become her own rescuer. Her personality was a great match for this fantastical story. She has made a choice to follow her heart, become her own woman and do so her way. For me she was the one bright spot in a story that proved to be unsatisfactory for. Normally I don't read steampunk know so that could have played a part in my opinion.
