Review of Let Love Find You

Let Love Find You
Amazon                          B&N
by Johanna Lindsey
3.5 of 5 Stars

Description:
London society has its very own Cupid. Renowned horse breeder and occasional matchmaker Devin Baldwin pairs eligible young ladies with suitable gentlemen based on his theory of animal magnetism. Unafraid of ruffling the ton’s feathers, this darkly handsome Cupid doles out tips for bettering one’s chances of meeting a mate that are as pointed as the love legend’s sharpest arrows!
Lovely Amanda Locke, the daughter of a duke, is everything a nobleman could desire, yet she enters her third Season still searching for a match. Gossipmongers’ tongues are wagging, and her mystified family is considering drastic measures to find her a husband. But the insufferable advice of this Cupid fellow is the last thing Amanda wants.
When an earl passionate about horses becomes the target of her husband hunt, Amanda knows it’s time to overcome her fear of riding. With her sister-in-law Ophelia hastening the romance along by arranging riding lessons, Amanda is soon taking instruction from infuriating Devin Baldwin. Astonishingly, in her daily encounters with Devin—who treats her as an ordinary young woman, not a prize to be won at the marriage mart—Amanda experiences passion for the first time. Now, her search for a match takes her in an unexpected direction as she finds herself falling in love with Cupid himself.

Review: 

When I saw this book in the store I was so excited! I absolutely love Johanna Lindsey. Then I flipped it over and saw that the heroine's name is Amanda!

Amazon               B&N
3 of 5 Stars

Description:
Alex MacLeod’s virile physique, fearsome reputation, and renowned fighting skills have helped him master to perfection the role of a hardened mercenary. On a secret mission to protect his clan, he must keep his true purpose well hidden. But his dangerous endeavor is threatened by a beautiful woman he saves from outlaws, never dreaming she will appear at court and put his plans in jeopardy.
Meg Mackinnon needs a strong husband by her side to defend her clan’s holdings, but her search has been hampered by burning fantasies of the midnight rescuer whose smoldering blue eyes and raw sensuality left her breathless. Alex pretends to be a mercenary with no loyalties, yet he is clearly much more. As Meg challenges Alex to reveal all his secrets, the stakes grow perilously high, especially for the bold woman who dares to unmask a highlander.


Review: 

Highlander Unmasked is the second installment in the MacLeods of Skye Trilogy.

Question of the Week: What's your favorite way to beat the heat? With a light and humorous romance? A book set in the chilly north or maybe a Christmas in July special? Or is hotter better, do you crank up the heat with a sexy romance? 


When I'm laying out at the beach or by the pool  (beating the heat with a nice tropical drink in hand), I like to read an old favorite. I like to go back to my tried and true hero and heroines.

Review of Blood Vine (Blood Vine #1)

Blood Vine (Blood Vine #1)
Amazon             B&N
by Amber Belldene
3.5 of 5 Stars

Description:

In Blood Vine, bites are an inconvenient bliss, exiled vampires are wasting away, and the fate of their kind depends on the perfect PR campaign.
When public relations pro Zoey Porter arrives at an enchanting California winery, she discovers her sexy new client is the almost one-night stand she can’t forget. After her husband’s suicide, Zoey has vowed never to risk her heart again. But can she walk away from the intriguing winemaker a second time?
Driven from Croatia by his ancient foes, vampire Andre Maras has finally made a blood-like wine to cure his fellow refugees. Now he needs Zoey’s PR expertise to reach them. After his wife’s death, Andre has a vow of his own—never to risk another painful blood bond. And one taste of the tempting Zoey would bind him to her eternally.
His secrets stall her PR plans. Her jealousy is stoked by the blissed-out beauties leaving his bedroom. At every turn, he utterly fails to resist her. When she discovers he is a vampire, will she be lost to the golden-eyed Hunters, or lose herself to the emptiness in her heart, before she can help him save his kind?

(From Goodreads)

Review: 

Zoey Porter is PR executive who is sent to out to Northern California wine country to design a campaign for Andre Maras's new vineyard and new wine. She is young, professional, level headed, straight forward, but lonely, a bit lost and has been morning the death of her husband for the past few years. She had no desire for any permanent attachments, which is clear from the beginning since she is sleeping with her boss, Ethan - who she doesn't really seem to like...at least, that's the vibe I got from the opening scene. But, after working with Andre, she can't deny that there is something happening between them.

Teaser Tuesday

 Teaser Tuesdays is a bookish meme hosted by Should Be Reading.

This Tuesday's teaser is from my upcoming release, Caressed by Shadows (Rulers of Darkness #4). Release date to be announced.



~ Falcon did not need to turn around. The delicate scent of lilacs teased his senses.
He bit out another curse. His hands fisted at his sides. His ears twitched as the footsteps grew louder, closer. His entire body clenched, his blood hummed, and his pulse doubled. After two centuries, his response to her had not changed.
“Sir Kenwrec.”

Her voice was so sweet, so damn alluring. Lust spiraled up his spine then shot through his body, weakening his knees and causing his fingers to tingle with the need to touch her.

“I apologize for intruding.”

Falcon swallowed hard, his throat suddenly painfully dry. “No,” he rasped. He took in a breath, desperately trying to fortify himself before turning to face her.

Sonya stood just outside the entrance of the library.~



I hope you enjoyed the teaser and I wish you happy reading!

Review of Highlander Untamed (MacLeods of Skye Trilogy #1)

Highlander Untamed (MacLeods of Skye Trilogy #1)
by Monica McCarty
Amazon        B&N
4.5 Stars of 5

Description:
Rory MacLeod is a bold and powerful Highland Chief with only one allegiance—to his clan. He vows revenge against the rival MacDonald clan, though duty demands a handfast marriage to Isabel MacDonald—a bride he does not want and has no intention of keeping. But Rory couldn't have anticipated the captivating woman who challenges his steely control, and unleashes the untamed passion simmering beneath his fierce exterior.

Blessed with incomparable beauty, Isabel MacDonald is prepared to use every means possible—including seduction—to uncover her husband's most guarded secrets. Instead Rory awakens Isabel's deepest desires and her sweetest fantasies. Now Isabel has found the happiness she's always dreamed of with the very man she must betray, and discovers that passion can be far more dangerous than revenge.

Star shivered as Sonya's fingers stroked up her arms to her shoulders. Titling her head to the side, the woman's eyes drifted closed. Her pulse rocketed, the rhythm intense.

Review of Master of Desire

Amazon            B&N
Master of Desire
by Kinley MacGregor
3.5 of 5 Stars

Description:
A Dream of Desire Awakened . . .
Beautiful Lady Emily dreams of the rapture of love and the joys of marriage. The youngest daughter of an English lord at war, she is shaken by the arrival of a mysterious stranger to her father's castle. Could this breathtaking man be Emily's yearned-for lover? Indeed, Draven de Montague, Earl of Ravenswood, has come for Emily . . . but romance has nothing to do with it.
In the Tender Embrace of an Enemy . . .
Draven would never have entered the home of his most hated adversary had not the King himself ordered him to take in his foe's daughter for a year to forge bonds of peace between their two feuding houses. Worse still, here is a lass whose exquisite loveliness could tempt Draven to betray his sworn vow never to let anther close to his heart. Emily knows the searing heat of her passion could burn down the defenses of this proud warrior. But will the surrender of the sweet nectar of his lips and his bold, sensuous caress ignite a blaze so hot it consumes them both?


Review:
The King's champion, Draven de Montague Earl of Ravenswood, is feared by all. His prowess as a warrior are legendary. His honor means absolutely everything to him and he believed giving his oath not to touch his ward in rage or lust would be easy
