About the book:

National bestselling author Kate Noble’s THE DARE AND THE DOCTOR lures readers back to the dazzling, irresistible Winner Takes All Regency Romance series. Margaret Babcock has always been content with her quiet life in the country. But every now and then, she feels the urge to spread her wings. Her late mother used to whisper, “What’s the worst that could happen?” at the start of an adventure, and now Margaret’s continuing the tradition. So when Dr. Rhys Gray, her longtime correspondent on matters botanical, invites her to speak to the London Horticultural Society about her new rose hybrid, she accepts. She’s excited about her first visit to London, but even more so about getting to see her friend Dr. Gray. When she arrives, Rhys is eager to show her the wonders of the city, and the two spend many happy hours together just as friends, of course! But would friends miss each other quite as fiercely when they’re apart; or feel such a spark when they’re together? Margaret finds that friendship with Rhys is much more complicated than she’d imagined…especially when it turns out her friend has forgotten that he may be promised to another woman.

#SpotLight - Dealing in Deception by Samantha Joyce

Dealing in Deception

Love in Disguise Book 2

by Samantha Joyce

About the Book:

In this companion to Samantha Joyce’s Flirting with Fame, Veronica Wilde finds that playing make-believe isn’t all it’s cracked up to be—especially when it’s keeping her from pursuing the one man who makes her heart go wild.

As an actress-for-hire, Veronica Wilde has made a living out of pretending to be other people. It’s the one thing at which she’s always excelled: taking on someone else’s personality and running with it. So after Elise Jameson, author of the bestselling Viking Moon series, decides she no longer requires Veronica’s services, she needs to find a new gig—and fast.

But when her newest client hires Veronica to help him make his small business look more successful than it actually is, the sparks that fly between them are definitely not part of the act. Suddenly, Veronica finds she’s tired of playing pretend for a living. She’s been acting for so long, she’s blindsided by the one man who sees her for who she really is. And the most terrifying part? She might actually like it.

About the Author:

Samantha has wanted to be an author since she picked up her first book and realized authors get to create new worlds with just a pen and paper (or laptop, if you will). She loves to write about romance because, as someone who married her high school sweetheart, she absolutely believes in true love. She also loves making people laugh and feels love and laughter go hand in hand. If she can make someone both swoon and giggle with her words, she considers that a success. When not writing or at her day job, Samantha can be found either singing and dancing on stage in local musicals, or at home watching geeky television shows with her husband.

#GiveAway - SPARKING THE FIRE By KATE MEADER

SPARKING THE FIRE

A HOT IN CHICAGO NOVEL, Book 3

By KATE MEADER

Fire Giveaway:

We are excited to do a Fire Giveaway to celebrate the third in Kate Meader’s Hot in Chicago series, Sparking the Fire. This giveaway will include Flirting with Fire (Book 1) and Playing with Fire (Book 2). You can visit all sites on the blog tour to enter the Fire Giveaways – but keep in mind you can only win once! U.S. only.

About Sparking the Fire:

Heating up reading lists this Fall will be Kate Meader’s highly anticipated Sparking the Fire, the “sexy and sassy” (#1 New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux) steamy third novel in the Hot in Chicago series, where former lovers unexpectedly reunite for a sizzling affair that will have the director yelling, “Quiet on the set!”

AN OLD FLAME STILL SIMMERS…

Wyatt Fox, resident daredevil at Engine Company 6, needs a low key job to keep him busy while he recovers from his latest rescue stunt. Consulting on a local movie shoot should add just enough spark to his day. But then in struts Molly Cade: the woman who worked his heart over good, and then left him in the Windy City dust.

BUT WILL A NEW SHOT AT LOVE LEAVE HER BURNED?

Actor Molly Cade, America’s fallen sweetheart, finally has her shot at a Hollywood comeback with a dramatic new role as a tough-as-nails firefighter that promises to propel her back into the big time. And she’s not going to let anything stand in her way—even a certain brooding, blue-eyed firefighter she’s never quite been able to forget…Their story is straight out of a script: irrepressible, spunky heroine meets taciturn, smoldering hero. But these two refuse to be typecast, and when the embers of an old love are stoked, someone is bound to get burned…

About the Author:

Kate Meader was raised on romance. An Irish girl, she started with Catherine Cookson and Jilly Cooper novels, and spiced it up with some Mills & Boon. Now based in Chicago, she writes romances of her own, where sexy contemporary alpha heroes and strong heroines match each other quip for quip. When not immersed in tales of brooding mill owners, oversexed equestrians, and men who can rock an apron or a fire hose, Kate lives on the web at katemeader.com.

HOT TIP: Kate is also offering a $25 Amazon gift card during the Sparking the Fire release tour. It will run Monday September 26 to Friday October 7. Enter here.

Review:

Do you enjoy a flaming hot story with smoking hot fire fighters? Well have I got a book, actually a whole series for you! Sparking the Fire is the latest release in Kate Meader's Hot in Chicago series.

Sparking the Fire has a fabulous combination of a second chance romance, mystery, drama, love, family, and hot steamy scenes. Ms. Meader has created yet another must read story that I could not put down.

Molly Cade is living the Hollywood lifestyle that includes the bonuses of fame and the draw backs too. She's recently divorced from a famous actor that thinks the world and everyone in it revolves around him. Molly has been through a horrible time lately. She wants nothing more than this movie to turn her career back around. What she doesn't expect to find is a very handsome face from her past. I loved Molly. She's sweet and kind with just enough spunk to make for interesting sparks. She loves her job and is good to those she works with. She made an instant connections with the Dempsey family and fits in with them just fine.

Wyatt Fox is the quite brooding one of the Dempsey family. He has a HUGE secret that is revealed to the family in this book. I won't tell you what it is but I will tell you that it makes for an interesting touch to the story.Wyatt has a heart of gold that sometimes gets covered up with a bit of grouchy outside. He loves his family and would anything for them. I have loved each and everyone of the Dempsey family members. This family sticks together and will do anything to protect their own. Wyatt ends up with a job that puts him in close quarters with a lady from his past.

Molly and Wyatt's story was thoroughly entertaining to read. These two are great together. They can push each other buttons and smoldering attraction has a way of turning into flaming passion when they are alone together. Neither is looking for a relationship and sure doesn't need to be the center of attention right now. The force of their attraction is stronger than their resolve to try to leave each other alone.

I won't tell you a whole lot more about the story. I will tell you there is plenty of drama and action that had me flipping pages as quickly as I could to see what was going to happen next.

Kate Meader had me engrossed from the first page of this book all the way to the end. I have found her books to be wonderful enjoyable reads. I can't wait to read more from this talented author. I know I will be looking for more of her work.

I was given the chance to read this fabulous story so that I may share my thoughts with you. As always it has been my great pleasure to share my thoughts with you on Sparking the Fire.
