When the Rogue Returns (The Dukes Men, #2)
by Sabrina Jeffries
3.5 Stars of 
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

 

Description: 
Victor Cale never imagined that his sweet, shy bride, Isabella, would use her talents for creating exquisite imitation jewels criminally. But there's no denying that her handiwork was used in the theft of the Dutch royal diamonds-- right after Isa disappeared into the night.

Ten years later, Victor is sent to Edinburgh to investigate a wealthy baron's mysterious bride-to-be... who turns out to be Isa, masquerading as an alluring widow. No longer the meek girl he once knew, Isa boldly asserts that it was Victor who abandoned her, after he helped steal the royal diamonds!

Piecing together the truth of the past reawakens their volatile passions, which burns hotter than ever. But with a decade of secrets between them, Victor and Isa must trust each other to bring the real thieves to justice-- without getting burned themselves.
(From Goodreads) 

Review: 
The plot was a classic historical storyline with a typical historical romance misunderstanding between the main characters.

Teaser Tuesday - Caressed by Shadows

Welcome to Teaser Tuesday!

Coming this April

Today's teaser is from my upcoming release, Caressed by Shadows (Rulers of Darkness #4). 

~Sonya slowly turned, flexed her hands. As flashed a smile, revealing her fangs, as her eyes grew dark and her claws extended.

She almost felt bad for unsuspecting hunters. She was no outcast vampire. She was not weak like countless blood bastards whose strength barely surpassed that of a mortal's. 

"I think she wants a fight," the third announced.

The group fanned out, blocking her routes of escape. 

Sonya had no intentions of fleeing. Retreat was not in her vocabulary. 

The second hunter spat on the ground, then sneered. "I think she wants to lose her pretty demon head."

Oh, these poor ignorant witches.

"Just know, I'll take little pleasure from ripping you limb from limb." Her smile widened as a rough, satanic laugh shook her shoulders. "But a little is better than none."~

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

The hectic holiday season is over and it's time for me to get back to serious writing! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and I wish you all the best for 2014. I can't wait to share Caressed by Shadows (Rulers of Darkness #4) with all my readers. I'll finally be graduating form college this year, which will free up a lot of time to dedicate to my works in progress of which there are many. After Caressed by Shadows, there will be 2 more installments in the Rulers of Darkness series, but don't worry, I've got plenty of other books planned, including Under Realm Assassins Series, a series yet to be titles, and a possibly trilogy which will begin with Passion's Prey. Yep, I've got a lot of work ahead of me!

I'm really looking forward to the Indie Romance Convention in Sept. I last year's was a blast!

Coming this April 

Best wishes,

Amanda

A Bewitching Christmas - Holiday Release

Happy Saturday!

Here is a sneak peek at A Bewitching Christmas.

~ He crossed the small, sparsely furnished living area to the hearth to build a fire. Heat quickly chased away the chill of the rustic cabin. Two arm chairs rest by a heavily draped window, an old couch claimed the center of the room along with a weathered wood coffee table. To the left was a nearly nonexistent kitchenette, which oddly enough featured brand new appliances, but no table or chairs. To the right was a lone door. The bedroom?

Penniless and orphaned, Victoria Kingston has nothing to bring to a marriage, yet she must shackle an unsuspecting gentleman into marriage by the end of the month or forfeit her rights as guardian of her younger sister. With the help of her dearest friend, Victoria begins her hunt, and vows to stay far away from the dark, mysterious, Dorian Vlakhos.

After meeting the beautifully innocent Miss Kingston, Dorian had to have her. He would do absolutely anything to make Victoria his.

Dimitri Arsov, the last remaining pure vampire, was thought to be dead for the past four hundred years. Now, he is back and has a score to settle with the traitor that had tried to kill him centuries ago. But as he waits for his prey to blindly step into his carefully laid trap, his overwhelming hunger for blood is triggered when he saves a beautiful art historian.

Kerstyn Ingmar’s life was normal and straight up boring until the night she is rescued by the dangerously sexy, powerfully mesmerizing, Dimitri. Unable to resist his diamond blue eyes and intense kisses, she is drawn into his world of darkness and closer to her impending doom.

While their desire consumes them, Dimitri is haunted by images of a bloody and deadly future. As his enemies draw near, he must find a way to save his mate from her destiny before fate destroys them both.

Consumed by madness and tormented by dark memories of blood and death, Hadrian Lucretius, King of the Validus Clan, has returned after living in self-imposed exile for nearly three hundred and fifty years.

To maintain peace with the vampires, Eva Maldonado is offered as a sacrifice to the crazed vampire king by her father, the alpha of the Silveria Shifter Pack. Hadrian’s reputation is both legendary and lethal; he is ruthless, bloodthirsty, lusty, and soulless. When Eva arrives at the ancient fortress high in the Carpathian Mountains, she is shocked to find a ravaged man with dark burning eyes filled with loneliness and dangerous desire.

Would she be his lover…or his prey? His savior…or his victim? Would Hadrian lure her into madness or would their perilous passion be their redemption?
