REAL EARLS BREAK THE RULES (INFAMOUS SOMERTONS) BY TINA GABRIELLE

 

 

 

Release Date:  November 21, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Rules are made to be broken…

He’ll break every rule for her…

She’s forbidden in every way…



1816 England

Brandon St. Clair, the Earl of Vale, has never been one to follow the rules. Even though he must marry a wealthy heiress so that he can be rid of the pile of debt he inherited with his title, he can’t stop thinking of another. Amelia Somerton is the daughter of an art forger and is not a suitable wife. But that doesn’t stop Brandon from making Amelia a different offer, the kind that breaks every rule of etiquette…

Sin runs in Amelia’s family. And even though she now rubs elbows with the aristocracy, she knows the truth—she has the ability to forge priceless works of art. She’ll never be seen as an acceptable wife, not that she wants to marry, anyway. So when the earl scandalously offers her the one thing she’s always dreamed of, she can’t help but take it. But what begins as a simple arrangement, soon escalates into much more, and as the heat between them sizzles, each encounter becomes a lesson in seduction…

REVIEW:  REAL EARLS BREAK THE RULES (INFAMOUS SOMERTONS) BY TINA GABRIELLE

 

Real Earls Break the RulesReal Earls Break the Rules by Tina Gabrielle

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


ARC Review: Real Earls Break The Rules (Infamous Somertons) by Tina Gabrielle

I love romance, particularly historical romance. The majestic beauty of the time period brings to life that fabled fantasy of star crossed lovers and fairytale magic. Ms. Gabrielle took a stab at throwing in some wicked deception and forbidden attraction as the perfect lure for an intricate dance of love. Real Earls Break The Rules appeals to the senses in that it stirs up emotions quickly and paints a vivid picture of temptation that stimulates the mind and excelerates the heart in a way that made me feel a part of the adventure. Not bad for my first experience with a Tina Gabrielle novel.

HARD COMPROMISE (COMPROMISE ME) BY SAMANTHE BECK

 

 

Release Date:  November 21, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Laurie Peterson assumes her impulsive one-night stand with sinfully sexy Sheriff Ethan Booker is the biggest surprise of the year…until her bakery burns down while she’s basking in the afterglow. It looks like her dreams are up in smoke, but then Ethan proposes a deal too tempting to resist.

Ethan has no intention of settling for a one-night stand with Laurie. Nor does he want anything to do with the women his wealthy family wants him to meet. Not when he’s waited ten years for his chance to make his move. His deal might have strings—and Laurie may not know the stakes—but nothing will stop this sexy cop from staking a real claim on her body and her heart.

REVIEWHARD COMPROMISE (COMPROMISE ME) BY SAMANTHE BECK

 

Hard Compromise (Compromise Me, #2)Hard Compromise by Samanthe Beck

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Hard Compromise is a count your blessings story. A reminder that not everyone has it easy materially or emotionally. Ms. Beck told a tale of strength with a sensual vulnerability that is not found in many romances. Sassy and sexy Laurie is a tough girl with an uninhibited personality but her exterior hides painful insecurities that have haunted her since childhood. I don't get angry often but Laurie's mother had me seeing red. Neglectful, hateful, manipulative and mean spirited user are polite ways of describing a person like her, but I have a ton of less polite ones. The contrast in upbringing, social class and outside forces may have proved a stumbling block for Laurie but Ethan was made of stronger stock. He saw her worth even if she didn't and that's the greater gift of all. Having someone lift you up in the darkest moments. Keep tissues handy.

REVIEW:  J.C. AND THE BIJOUX JOLIS (BLUEBERRY LANE:  THE ROUSSEAUS)  BY KATY REGNERY

 

J.C. and the Bijoux Jolis (The Rousseaus, #3)J.C. and the Bijoux Jolis by Katy Regnery

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



ARC Review: J.C. and the Bijoux Jolis (Blueberry Lane: The Rousseaus) by Katy Regnery

J.C. and Libitz are truly something special. There was an ethereal quality to their story. Through the highs, lows and in between, it was a foregone conclusion that the bond between these two could not be broken. The hand of fate had mapped out their journey in the stars. With J.C. and the Bijoux Jolis, Ms. Regnery reminded me why I love romance. The feeling I get deep inside my soul that renders me speechless and rocks me to my core. That is the heart of a dreamer. Katy Regnery saved the best Rousseau for last. Jax set the stage, Mad was the encore but J.C. was the main event. He kept me bewitched, bothered and bewildered until the bitter end.

OUT OF BOUNDS BY LAUREN BLAKELY

 

 

Release Date:  November 22, 2016

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

The first rule of football--don't screw with a streak.

My career is finally looking up, and I'm leading a new pro team down the field every Sunday. No way will I mess with that. But when I meet the most stunning and captivating woman I've ever seen, I tell myself one night will have to be enough.

But it's not. And now I can't get her out of my mind. Even when I'm playing. Even when I need to focus. Even when I’m on the hottest streak of my life.

And it turns out, she's not just some random woman I met. She works for the team. My team.

***

I only have one goal this season--do my part as the team's lawyer to keep them out of trouble. Help rebuild their reputation on and off the field. There's no room for error and certainly no room for a secret tryst with a player . . . even if he's the quarterback.

Right?

REVIEW: OUT OF BOUNDS BY LAUREN BLAKELY

 

Out of BoundsOut of Bounds by Lauren Blakely

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What originally drew me to author Lauren Blakely was her brand of heated suspense that could have readers on the edge of their seats and stir up some heartwarming emotions, with stunning reveals and emotional connections. I always left satisfied and anticipating her next book release. Recently, I've noticed a more playful side to her presentation. From opposites attract, to old friends discovering something new and the light banter delivered in he said, she said manner. I'm lovin' it. Change is a part of life and this change spices up an already seasoned author. Out of Bounds takes the words we as observers long to say and puts them out there from both sexes point of view. As a writer you never stop growing and Ms. Blakely continues to create memorable characters that are easy to love.

COWBOY RISING (COWBOY COCKTAIL)  BY MIA HOPKINS

 

 

Release Date:  November 22, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Feisty reporter vs. gruff cowboy—buckle up for a hard ride.

Journalist Georgia Meyers is writing an article about MacKinnon Ranch in a last-ditch effort to save her job at a failing newspaper. At first, the hot-as-hell rancher wants nothing to do with her. But butting heads leads to knocking boots, and soon she’s getting the real story—in bed and off the record.

Cattleman’s son and petroleum engineer Daniel MacKinnon turned down a lucrative oil career to take over the family farm. Frustrated about giving up his dreams and worried about money, Daniel buries himself in ranch work—that is, until gorgeous Georgia shows up and rocks him to the core.

A blazing one-night stand leads to something deeper. Despite their feelings for each other, he’s tied to the land and she’s a rolling stone. When the time comes to part ways, will the lovers choose duty over desire? Or will they face their fears and rise to the challenge of love?

Get ready for sassy banter, sizzling sex, orgasms galore, and a nerdy dirty-talkin’ cowboy who can go all night long

REVIEW:  COWBOY RISING (COWBOY COCKTAIL)  BY MIA HOPKINS

 

Cowboy Rising (Cowboy Cocktail, #5)Cowboy Rising by Mia Hopkins

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


ARC Review: Cowboy Rising (Cowboy Cocktail) by Mia Hopkins

Ms. Hopkins tried something different with Georgia and Daniel. She exposed the outer layers before revealing the inner workings of her main characters. Both were dealing with uncertain situations. She on the professional front, he on the personal. Daniel's responsibilities were a heavy burden for such a young individual, the greatest was keeping the family business afloat while facing family tragedy. Georgia, is a go getter at a crossroads in her life. The one commonality they share is determination. In order to succeed, failure is not an option. Cowboy Rising brings more than sensuality to the table, it delivers an at times flawed, but inspiring journey along the way.
