UNDER THE HOOD BOXED SET BY SALLY CLEMENTS
Release Date: September 5, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Under the Hood
When Alice Starr mistakenly believes attorney Mark Jameson needs her help, he discovers he likes being rescued for a change. Smitten by her confidence, he hides his expertise so he has an excuse to see her again. Alice doesn't have time for a man. But with one kiss, she and Mark have advanced into water so deep she's in danger of drowning...
Racing the Hunter’s Moon
Feisty Betty Smith should have only one thing on her mind—catching the conman who swindled her mother. Not the sexy stranger who kissed her then completely disappeared.
Undercover FBI agent Joe Carter needs to focus on the bad guy who got away, not the gorgeous headstrong brunette who watches too many cop shows and keeps interfering in his case. And while entering the vintage car rally as a couple seemed like a good idea at the time, faking feelings for each other turns out to be the easiest part.
Love for Beginners
Melody Swan is looking for a man who can share her hopes and dreams, but she swore she would never lose herself to passion. When sexy Heath Starr agrees to temporarily sub in the Under the Hood garage for his sister, Mel sees the perfect opportunity to enjoy being with a man without becoming attached. Heath came to Meadowsweet to photograph nature, not find a hookup, especially since his last relationship ended in disaster. When the two find themselves isolated in a rustic cabin, they could both break their promises if they aren’t careful...

REVIEW: UNDER THE HOOD BOXED SET BY SALLY CLEMENTS
Under the Hood Boxed Set by Sally Clements
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Melody, Betsy and Alice are not afraid to follow their dreams and break stereotypes doing it. I enjoy reading stories with strong female characters. A woman can be strong when needed but being vulnerable at times is okay as well. Ms. Clements shows the multiple sides of femininity with her Under the Hood stories. A fun way to celebrate the female spirit, with laughter, love and self - respect.
Under The Hood - Alice proves it's okay to take charge of one's own destiny.
Racing The Hunter's Moon - Betsy proves a woman can be her own savior.
Love For Beginners - Melody proves a woman's heart is her greatest strength.

Full Exposure by Cathryn Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ms. Fox has done it again. She delivered saucy, sexy and emotional in short sweet fashion. The Hands On series is full of heat, but has a great deal of heart as well. My one peeve with this series is the serial format. I loved the story but in order to get the full experience, I wish Dani and Jack's journey had been one novel.

REVIEW: THE REBEL HEIR (THE SPARE HEIRS) BY ELIZABETH MICHELS
The Rebel Heir by Elizabeth Michels
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Duty or heart, which will win? Ash is a sly one. He's handsome, charming and plays society like a finely tuned instrument. Gliding thru the ranks of the rich and powerful with a hidden agenda and secrets that could avenge his family and destroy the life of not only his intended target, but could also impact an innocent that could prove to be his redemption. Evie is a gazelle in a world of wolves. A disappointment to her family and easily manipulated into situations that are not of her own choosing. But make no mistake, she has some surprises of her own. Neither Ash or Evie are what they portray themselves to be and therein lies the draw of the story. On the surface, all is easily figured out but as the tale digs deeper you discovery the plot is more complicated. The author must love puzzles because she concocted a pattern riddled with cryptic clues that casts a spell of intriguing reveals and surprisingly intricate pieces.

A Rake Reformed by Shirley Marks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Ms. Marks is a new author to me. A Rake Reformed started off on the wrong foot. There was plenty of promise but the story took longer than I expected in gaining it's sea legs. I'meant a fast reader and like my stories to be as fast pasted as I am. My lukewarm opinion started to go full throttle when Fredrick went from careless young boy to a responsible young man. His metamorphic was complete as he opened his heart to love and opened his mind to learning the benefit of maturity. A Rake Reformed is slow moving but given a chance it'seems worth the trip.
