SHOPPING FOR AN HEIR BY JULIA KENT
Release Date: September 20, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Gerald Wright works for billionaires. He never imagined he’d become one.
The former Navy Seal is a chauffeur by day, artist by night, so when hotter-than-ever ex-fiancée Suzanne Dayton interrupts his nude model sculpting class to serve him with inheritance paperwork from a man he’s never heard of, he assumes it’s a joke.
Turns out the joke’s on him. There’s just one catch. A big one.
And it might be Suzanne — in more ways than he ever dreamed

REVIEW: SHOPPING FOR AN HEIR BY JULIA KENT
Shopping for an Heir by Julia Kent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What appeals to me about The Inheritance series is the ability of one person, making an impact on numerous lives. With all of the violence and hate in the world, the thought that there are good hearted people is tossed by the wayside. Julia Kent, Lisa Mondello, Katherine Shay, Judith Arnold, Jean Brashear, Kathy Carmichael, Margaret Daley and Teresa Hill have lended their creative gifts in one unanimous message: "One person can make a difference." Shopping for an Heir blends heart with inspiration. Agnes and Corinne with their dirty mouths and hilarious antics added to the fun but Suzanne and Gerald turn the fun and hope into a reason to dream. Concept, message, writing and characters are this reader's ideal.

ANYWHERE YOU ARE (RETURN TO BRIARWOOD) BY ELISABETH BARRETT
Release Date: September 20, 2016
SYNOPSIS
As the daughter of a music legend, Grace Davingham knows all too well what it’s like to be burned by the media’s glare. Now all she wants is to be left to do her painting and conservation work in peace, with no intention of returning to the spotlight. But after she sprains her ankle hiking and a handsome real-estate mogul comes to her rescue, Grace once again finds herself in the public eye.
Sexy, successful, and averse to any attachments, Marcus Colby thrives on rigid discipline in order to manage both his real-estate investment company and his personal life. Marc has no time for fun, and no patience for crazy. Which is why meeting Grace—and inheriting an enormous Great Dane who won’t listen to a word he says—has turned Marc’s carefully constructed world upside down.
Only when Grace and Marc square off over a local controversy do they realize how different they really are. But if opposites attract, their love is destined to bind them together—forever.

Anywhere You Are by Elisabeth Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ms. Barrett does well at tickling the funny bone. She delivers feel good romance that relies on the reader's ability to exercise both the brain and the heart in order to understand the true meaning of self reliance and the power of finding a place to belong. Anywhere You Are there proves that in order to understand where you are meant to be, a person has to search within themselves to discover who they are.

REVIEW: COMING CLEAN (MONKEY BUSINESS TRIO) BY C.L. PARKER
Coming Clean by C.L. Parker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm sad to see Shaw and Cass's journey end. It's like losing a friend. Having watched this couple go from enemies, to rivals, to lovers and now parents leaves me with a bittersweet feeling. Coming Clean is the powerful conclusion to a rocky and driven love story. Along the way Shaw has exposed more of his tragic past and become a little more open but his heartbreaking past is never far from his mind and remains a barrier to his future with Cass and his son. Falling in love was never the plan for Cass. Her fast paced career was well on it's way to the top when her emotions won out. She's sacrificed much and wants more than a distant lover and a brain full of what is. C.L. Parker, has written a story that is more mature than the others in the Monkey Business Trio series. Coming Clean is about setting priorities and discovering what's important before it's too late.

SKIN DEEP (STATION SEVENTEEN) BY KIMBERLY KINCAID
Release Date: September 20, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Where there’s smoke…
For firefighter Kellan Walker, checking his emotions at the door doesn’t just keep him on the level. It keeps him alive. A gut-wrenching find at the scene of a blaze threatens to blow his ironclad composure, but when the detective assigned to the case is the same woman who put his sister’s life at risk three months ago, all bets for Kellan being calm, cool, or collected are definitely off.
There’s bound to be fire…
Keeping people safe is Isabella Moreno’s number one priority, no matter how tough the case. Working without solid leads and with the gorgeous, broody firefighter who believes she’s responsible for endangering his sister on a previous case isn’t ideal. But someone is hurting women in the here-and-now. Isabella will do whatever it takes to find justice.
As Kellan and Isabella reluctantly team up to catch a criminal, they realize they have more in common than they’d ever imagined. With every move, the stakes grow higher and the passion sizzles hotter, but can they race against the clock and the odds to catch a killer? Or will they lose their hearts—and their lives?

REVIEW: SKIN DEEP (STATION SEVENTEEN) BY KIMBERLY KINCAID
Skin Deep by Kimberly Kincaid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Kellan and Isabella are two of the most level headed individuals you will ever meet. In their line of work that's a huge plus. Solving puzzles and protecting others are traits neither take lightly. So why is it that neither can keep their cool when thrown together on a matter of life and death? Ms. Kincaid continues to surprise me. Her stories are joys to read contemporary romances are steamy and hard to step away from. I had no idea that she wrote suspense though. Skin Deep is a fast paced read with an abundance of testosterone and an in your face battle of the sexes. A high-octane escapism story.

REVIEW: BILLIONAIRE ON THE LOOSE (BILLIONAIRES & BRIDESMAIDS) BY JESSICA CLARE
Billionaire on the Loose by Jessica Clare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am new to the world of Jessica Clare, but if all her stories are as endearing as Taylor and Loch's I just might stick around awhile. Billionaire On the Loose touches the heart with it's message of acceptance and spins dreams for every believer in happily ever afters. You don't have to be perfect to find happiness is an inspiring message that has fallen by the wayside in the world of glamorous movie stars and glitzy magazines. For that alone this story deserves an A +.

Bodyguard. [Noun]
A person hired to escort and protect another person. Escort and protect. Definitely no flirting, kissing, or testing the bounds of third base.

REVIEW: LOVE ON THE RUN (PINE HARBOUR) BY ZOE YORK
Love on the Run by Zoe York
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love is like a free fall for the senses, it can't be controlled but is exhilarating non - the- less. Liana and Dean are the personification of a bad idea. She's famous and thrives on the spotlight. He's a loner more comfortable in the background. Liana's career is full of bright lights, big cities and attentive fans. Dean's always on alert and does his best work in the shadows. She's the client. He's her protector. Love On The Run is about stepping outside of one's comfort zone and trying something new. The irony is that sometimes the worse decisions, turn out to be the most rewarding experiences. Ms. York captured the shell shocked emotions of attraction and romance well.

NOT QUITE PERFECT (NOT QUITE) BY CATHERINE BYBEE
Release Date: September 20, 2016
SYNOPSIS
New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee delivers the fifth heartwarming, flirty novel in the wildly popular Not Quite series.
Mary Kildare knows how to read people. It’s both why she makes a great therapist and why she refuses to trust the average bachelor. Staying fiercely independent has been her primary relationship strategy—until wealthy playboy pilot (and commitmentphobe) Glen Fairchild reappears in her life. After a yearlong teasing tug-of-war, Mary and Glen test the waters of attraction, only to find that their physical chemistry runs deeper than flirtation.
At first, a bicoastal romance suits them both—especially since Glen can swoop in and whisk Mary away on one of his company’s planes. But no matter how close they get, they’re still three thousand miles apart. And when Mary’s life is threatened, Glen realizes the one luxury he doesn’t have is time. Can he close the distance between them before it’s too late?

REVIEW: NOT QUITE PERFECT (NOT QUITE) BY CATHERINE BYBEE
Not Quite Perfect by Catherine Bybee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Nothing comes easy in life. Anything worth having requires nurturing and time. Catherine Bybee takes the knowledge of the real world and blends it with her style of light, flirty but deeply meaningful storytelling. The fact that Not Quite Perfect has just right mixture of drama and humour is a big plus as well. Mary is a woman with strong principles and a soft heart but her independent spirit is both a gift and a curse. It's allowed her to accomplish much in her career but served as a barrier against personal entanglements. Glen proves to be her one weakness. Gorgeous, wealthy and a bit of a free spirit. Not Quite Perfect is about appreciating the little moments and treasures because life has a way of surprising us all.

REVIEW: SWEET DREAMS (SUGAR RUSH) BY NINA LANE
Sweet Dreams by Nina Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Three years can come and go in the blink of an eye or it can seem like a never ending span of time. For one so young, Polly experienced a great deal in that time frame. The inevitable loss of a parent and the responsibilities that go along with the grief. The events gave her a sense of maturity, not associated with many twenty three year olds, but it also broke a large piece of her. To accept what is became her motto, instead of hoping for the best. Her world is about to be rocked in a really big way. (Literally and figuratively.)
All work and no play, has made Luke a wealthy man. With success comes attention and acceptance, not necessarily happiness. His fast paced existence is thrown off it's axis by a seductive woman, with hot and cold tendencies. Sweet Dreams is a confectionary buffet of sensuality, intense feelings and heartwarming moments. Stir in a bit of realism, sage advice and you have a breath of fresh air wrapped in a bundle of sweet goodness. A winning combination.
