Engaging the Enemy By Heather Boyd

Engaging the Enemy is the first book I have had the pleasure to read by Heather Boyd. Oh my what a first book I choose to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely historical romance. 

Mercy, Duchess of Romsey is such a fun character. I loved her spunk and her devotion to her son. She has a lot of responsibility taking care of things for her son until he is able to take charge of the estate. Mercy is in desperate need of some assistance with the estate and also has a problem that she needs some help with. She is so excited when she finds out her husband's cousin is in town. She ask for his assistance with the estate and also confides her problem to him. 

Leopold Randall has returned home to locate his siblings. He enlist the help of Mercy to assist him with his search for clues. He is determined to find his siblings that he was forced to separate from. I really liked Leopold too, he is a determined, loyal gentleman that is just what Mercy and her son Edwin need in their life. 

I truly enjoyed reading Mercy & Leopold's story. They are such compelling couple that I just could not put this book down. They had so many trials to over come in their path together.  

There is a lot of drama, some really hot romance scenes, and some moments that are quite humorous. This story really kept me guessing who was causing the problems for Mercy and Edwin. I had several suspects. The plot is a page turner. I enjoyed this book so much that the next book in the series has moved to next in my to be read pile. 

If you enjoy a good historical romance with some mystery, drama, and romance I think you will enjoy this one. 

Sweet Madness by Heather Snow

I have been in a historical romance mood the last couple of days and let me tell you Sweet Madness fit my bill for a great historical romance. This is the first opportunity I have had to read a book by Heather Snow and it most certainly will not be my last. She has a great writing flow that kept me completely interested in her historical romance. I know I can't wait to see what other wonderful stories Heather Snow has.

I found the characters in this book so charming and entertaining. Lady Penelope Bridgeman is a sweet, kind, caring, and  intelligent lady that captured my interest right away. She has suffered so much loss and tried so hard to help her husband. When she was unable to help her husband she went through a deep mourning period. She is finally able to find her relief in helping others who have suffered battle fatigue. Penelope has such a unique way of helping these soldiers and it is very interesting to see how they treated the soldiers of the early 1800's.

Poor Gabriel Devereaux has an extreme case of battle fatigue. He has periods of complete madness and he does not remember anything during these times. This gentleman is in dire need of help, a caring source of help. He finds that in Penelope. When she is ask by his family to see if she is able to help Gabriel she is quite glad to be of assistance. Gabriel is reluctant to accept her help however he does decide to give her a chance to help. He has always had a fondness for Penelope and doesn't want her to see him this way. However Penelope convinces Gabriel to let her have a chance, this is something that she needs.

These two are exactly what each other needs. I really liked Gabriel and Penelope and thoroughly enjoyed reading their story. I was kept completely enthralled all the way through this story. There is a lot of drama and twist that Gabriel and Penelope have to over come in order to be together.

I think if you enjoy historical romance you will enjoy Sweet Madness, I know I honestly enjoyed this story. 

manataka by Ella J. Phoenix

manataka  is the first book I have had the pleasure to read by Ella J. Phoenix. This book is full of drama that keeps you turning pages. I found it to be a very interesting reading.

I loved the character of Chloe. This girl has had some interesting dreams that she is trying to figure out. When she starts seeing things that she has seen in her dreams she knows that she needs to find out what her dreams all these years have meant. 

Chloe is a very strong girl that is determined to find answers. She is also smart enough to ask a lot of questions. When she meets Mason she knows he is the man that can assist her. She is sure he can help her but she wonder if she can she truly trust him. Mason is a wonderful hero that really draws you into the story.

Chloe and Mason have a great chemistry going between them.  They have a lot to go through in order to be together. I really enjoyed reading their story. 

This was a great Native American story that is set in the present day and also take a few trips back to the past. There is some paranormal features to the story.  I really enjoyed the powers that Ella J. Phoenix created. manataka is a really good story with a lot of twist,  turns, and some wonderfully sweet romance that I truly enjoyed reading.

I would recommend this book if you like a good mystery paranormal romance story. I think you will enjoy it. I know I most certainly did.

Hearts and Flour By Tara Lain

Hearts and Flour is the first book I have had the pleasure to read by Tara Lain. It most certainly won't be my last. Tara Lain has a nice flow of telling a story that keeps you turning pages. This is a really great story about two totally opposite guys. I really enjoyed reading about Micah & Quentin. 

Micah Truveen thinks he has his life under control. He has a fabulous business of selling raw, vegan food in his restaurant that he loves. He also has what he thinks is  the "perfect" boyfriend.  Just when he thinks all is perfect he finds out his boyfriend is cheating on him and a cupcake store has opened up next door. His customers are buying lots of cup cakes after working so hard to purify their systems. It's driving Micah nuts! Dang his world was just falling apart. I loved Micah, he such a sweet, caring guy. He needs a break for things to go well for him.  He goes to a party at his friend's house and meets Quentin Darby. The sparks between these two turn into  fireworks from the beginning. 

Quentin Darby is leading a double life. He is a cupcake baker gentleman  (yes the same cup cake store that is driving Micah nuts) taking care of his grandma in the light of day. By Night Quentin is Queen a cross dressing gay man that has knocked the socks off Micah. Quentin has not came out to his grandma and thinks she knows nothing of his double life. I  really loved Quentin's Grandma, she is one cool lady that knows more then people think she does. 

Things get complicated and these two have work out a lot of things in order to get together. I loved this story is shows how quickly you can form feelings for someone and want to protect them.  

I really enjoyed this book. It is a HOT, HOT, quick read that keeps you turning pages to see how these two are finally going to get together.

I would highly recommend this book if you are a fan of m/m erotica. I think you'll love it.  Of course if you are already a fan of Tara Lain I'm sure you will enjoy this one. I know I sure did. I can't wait to see what she has planned for her next book. 

The Wanderer by Robyn Carr

I am a huge fan of Robyn Carr's Virgin River series so I was extremely excited to read the first book in the new Thunder Point Series. I love small town romance series books, and this one is another great series!

In The Wanderer we get to catch up with Hank Cooper whom we met in one of the Virgin River Series books. Cooper has arrived in Thunder Point after the death of his friend Ben. He is looking for some closure on what really happened to Ben. Cooper finds himself the new owner of Ben's bait shop and beach land. Now he has to determine what he is going to do with it. He also wants to find out what really happened to Ben. It turns out it might not have been as much of an accident as the authorities thought to begin with.

When Cooper meets a young man named Landon, whom is having some trouble, he finds himself wanting to help Landon. His friendship with Landon leads to Landon's sister arriving at his door. Sarah Dupre has been basically a single mother whom is guardian of her brother. She is recently divorced which has left her with some trust issues. She isn't ready for a new relationship but she finds herself attracted to Cooper.  She is a busy lady with taking care of her brother and as a pilot with the Cost Guard.

Not only do we get to watch Cooper & Sarah falling in love we get to meet some of the fine folks of Thunder Point. I can tell already this is going to be another fabulous series that I am going to impatiently await the next book. 

This book covers the topic of high school kids and bullying. I think it does a great job of showing how dangerous a bullying situation could turn into. Bullying is such a dangerous thing and the bullies can do a lot of harm. It can turn from threats into series action. Robyn Carr has done a good job of showing a case of bullying that turned quite dangerous. 

I can't wait to see what Robyn Carr has planned next for our readers in her new series. I would highly recommend this book if you are a Robyn Carr fan or if you love small town romance series stories. 

Take Me Home, Cowboy By Krista Ames

Take Me Home, Cowboy is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by Krista Ames and let me tell you it sure won't be my last. I absolutely loved this book. It had my attention captured on the first page. Krista Ames did a fabulous job of putting together a great contemporary western romance. I know I'll be on the look out for more books by her.

When Ally Kincaid goes home to see her father she meets the handsome new foreman.  I loved Ally she is a  country girl born and raised but has moved to the city. This girl is full of spunk and has no problem speaking what is on her mind. This gets her in trouble a few times but handsome cowboy Matt Gentry finds her so hot he forgives her pretty quick. The steam and sparks between these two is HOT. 

Matt Gentry is one HOT cowboy with a past he is trying to deal with. Things have happened in Matt's past that he feels guilty about, so he's not real forth coming with his past. This presents some problem with his relationship with Ally. Matt thinks once Ally knows about his past he'll lose her. 

Ally & Matt have an instant attraction that neither is sure should be there. Ally doesn't trust Matt with a past he doesn't want to talk about & he's her Dad's foreman. Matt doesn't want to get into a relationship with the boss's daughter. They just can't deny the attraction though. I really enjoyed watching these two spar and then make up. 

I love a good western cowboy romance with some hot loves scenes. How can you possibly go wrong with a HOT cowboy? I would highly recommend this book to all the western romance fans out there. I think you will enjoy it, I know I did. 

Crisis of Identity by Denise Moncrief

I've become a fan of Denise Moncrief, she has a way of telling a wonderful mystery that keeps you totally enthralled. Crisis of Identity was no exception to that. I truly was hooked on this book from page one. The story has so many twist that I was turning pages very quickly. There is never a dull moment for poor Tess.

Tess Copeland has enough problems of her own. She is on the run from the law for a crime that she didn't "really" commit. She takes on the identity of a deceased woman. Little does she know but Shelby Coleman seems to have as many problems as Tess if not more. People seem to want Shelby dead so Tess is in a lot of danger. Tess has spunk, is very independent, and is so creative to get out of the messes she finds herself in, you just have to love her.

She meets a US Marshall, Jake Coleman that has been searching for her. She also meets up with Trevor Smith that claims he is a PI. Can Tess really trust either of these men to keep her safe or is one or both of them out to get her. She has a lot of trust issues with plenty of just cause. This girl has a lot of problems on her plate. 

There is also the romance that develops between Tess and Trevor. She has feelings for him but can she trust these feeingls or is Trevor just out to get her too?

This is a really good mystery story. There is so much going on I kept thinking wow what is going to happen next!

I would recommend this book if you are looking for a good mystery with some romance thrown in. 

Windfall by L.J. Martin

Windfall is the first book I have had the pleasure to read by L.J. Martin and I have to say it won't be the last. I really enjoyed Windfall. It was a easy flowing book that covered a lot of things. There is drama with business issues and romance with all the complications of not enough communications. This book was a real page turner. Windfall takes place in the 1980's with flashback scene's to the 1960's. 

David Drake has been through a lot. He was in the air force during the war, he's a very astute business man with a lot of irons in the fire, and he's a man with a lot of women problems. The biggest problems being he and the love of his life just can not seem to get on the same page at the same time. 

Vicki Benvinuti is the president of her family owned business. She makes a lot of improvements and adds to the business. She is involved in taking the public for trade.  She is a very good business woman in a time when woman are more common in the kitchen then in the boardroom. This woman knows what she wants and she knows how to make things happen. She also has men problems. She's divorced and in love with her high school sweetheart that has broken her heart several times.

When someone comes after both David & Vicki's companies they have to learn to work together and trust each other. This is their shot to finally get their happily ever after.

I truly enjoyed this book. There is a lot of business complication that is interesting to watch them work through. The romance between Vicki & David is sweet, hot, and so heart full.  These two are meant to be together. 

Deceptions of the Heart by Denise Moncrief

Denise Moncrief has done it again, she kept me completely enthralled all the way through this book. Deceptions of the Heart is full of so many twists & turns that the drama keeps you turning pages very quickly. The concept behind this story is so interesting I was completely hooked from page one.

Rhonda Prentiss wakes up one morning in a bed she has never seen, with a husband she doesn't know, in a house she has no memory of living in,  with people she has never meet in her life, and a face in the mirror she has never seen. She soon discovers that she is living the life of Jennifer Cristobal. However she has no memories that belong to Jennifer and only remembers Rhonda's life. She finds herself in a lot of dramatic situations and very unsure who she can trust. Who are these people in Jennifer's life and are they trying to kill her on purpose? Can she return to Rhonda's life and get help there? Can she trust Jennifer's husband and her step daughter to help her? Can she trust the doctor that has been treating Jennifer?

She figures out that Rhonda has passed away and Jennifer has received her heart via a heart transplant. Somehow this has caused Rhonda's memories to be trapped in Jennifer's body. Like I said the concept behind this book really kept me interested. This is such an interesting concept. Could this really happen?

I really enjoyed this book and could not stop reading. I could not wait to see what was going to happen to Rhonda/ Jennifer and who's memories were actually going to stay with Jennifer's body. 

I would recommend this book to all those out there that enjoy mystery with a little romance. If you like some interesting twist with your story I think the twists and turns in Deceptions of the Heart will keep you reading. 

Eye of the Storm By Denise Moncrief

Eye of the Storm By Denise Moncrief is part of the Moonlight Mysteries series. I have read three books from this series now and they have all been good, quick reading, short mysteries. I enjoyed Eye of the Storm just as much as the previous two books I had read. 

Kieran Talbot has enough problems of her own that she is trying to get away from. She's at her friend's beach house to re-group. The weather is turning nasty and she is just settling in to wait out the storm.  She doesn't need or want another problem to show up on her door step. That's exactly what she gets in the form of bloody and injured Davis Jackson. Kieran puts her medical skills to use and help him the best she can with what she has to work with.

Kieran and Davis are just getting to know each other when trouble for both of them appears.  These two are going to have to work together to survive.  Not only are they in danger from some bad folks, they have a nasty hurricane to dell with.  You talk about bad luck, it seems to be following these two around. 

Denise Moncrief has a way of putting a lot of drama and Action into 26 pages. This is another one of those page turners that you just have to keep reading to find out what is going to happen next. This book throws in some twist that you don't expect and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed this short story mystery romance.  

If you enjoy a good mystery with some romance included, in the short story form, then you are going to enjoy this book. 

Threat To Our Forever By Em Epe

Threat To Our Forever By Em Epe is part of the Moonlight Mysteries series. I really enjoyed reading this book. Oh my goodness this is one of those books that just really grabs you from the beginning. From page one I was enthralled and completely caught up in the mystery and drama. I could not put this book down.  

Lilly and Sam Kendell are facing something that no parent should have to go through. Their daughter has been terribly hurt and they don't know who is responsible for the crime. Sam has a dangerous job that could have endangered his daughter, his daughter is dating someone that could also have caused danger, and Lilly's family has some connections that could also be dangerous. They have to figure out who is the threat before something else happens to their family. Sam will do anything to protect his wife and daughters. Their marriage is already strained, will all this drama cause their marriage to completely fall apart?

There is a lot of drama, action, and unconditional love in this book. Em Epe has combined some of my favorite reading themes to put this wonderful book together. I love a good mystery with some drama and then a sweet love story thrown in.  You may want to grab a box of Kleenex because there is a lot of emotion in Threat To Our Forever.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick mystery read. If you enjoy a short story mystery with some sweet romance I think you will really enjoy this wonderful story. 

An Impostor in Town by Denise Moncrief

An Imposter in Town by Denise Moncrief is part of the Moonlight Mysteries Series. This is the second book I have read by Denise Moncrief, she has a way of telling a mystery in a short story that keeps you turning the pages.

I enjoyed reading about Peyton Chandler and all the things she has lived through. This is one woman that is due a break. She has been on the run and given up so much. I loved when she was finally starting to get a nice relationship with Sheriff Brian Parker. The secrets that Peyton is keeping could ruin their relationship. 

Brian Parker has a thing for falling for women that have secrets or don't remember their past. Can the relationship he has formed with Peyton be strong enough to keep them together after he learns all Peyton's secrets.

This book is filled with lots of drama and some sweet romantic scenes. I think you will enjoy this book if you love a good mystery.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good mystery with some romance thrown in. I found myself really into this story and I think you will too.

Anything for You By Jessica Scott

Anything for You is the first book I have read by Jessica Scott. If this book is any indication I have been missing out on some great reading. This short story was wonderful. 

I found it very moving  watching a very strong man that has been through so much find something that terrifies him. Shane is petrified of losing Jen. How could you not just adore a man that is so in love he would do anything to protect his true love?

Jen is a strong willed lady that has battled cancer once and kicked it's butt. However she lives with the fear that it will return. Jen just wants to live her life and not always be thinking of herself as a Cancer patient. She's doing a great job. She has a fear of her own. Shane is going to get well and perhaps join his team again. 

Anything for you is a very moving, touching, sweet story that will keep you turning the pages. 

I truly enjoyed reading about Shane and Jen. Now I want to go find the rest of Jessica's books and read them. Jessica has a way of telling a story that really pulls you in and makes you feel what she's writing. 

I would highly recommend this book if you are a fan of Jessica Scott's work, if you love a sweet romance story, or a really touching quick read. I think you will enjoy it, I know I did. 

Trail's End by Denise Moncrief

Wow, where do I begin with this one? I really enjoyed Trail's End by Denise Moncrief. This book is 46 pages of entertainment. It is a short story with lots of twists and turns. I love a good mystery with romance and this was a good one.

Scarlett has a secret from her past that she doesn't want to reveal. This woman has a large amount of inner strength. Her past has left her with some trust issues.  Now she is trying to start over and she isn't sure who she should trust at all. 

Cade Henderson is a handsome cowboy that Scarlett is falling for. He also has some secrets from his past that he isn't ready to share either.

The romance between Cade & Scarlett is a sweet, slow romance. You can tell they are attracted to each other from the moment they meet but with their past they take their time falling in love. These two have a few things to over come in order to make their happily ever after though. 

I wasn't sure how much mystery there could be in a short story but let me tell you this one surprised me. I found myself rolling through the pages really quick and enthralled in this story.

I would recommend this if you are looking for a quick short story to read. If you like  mystery, romance, and short stories I think you'll love this one. 

Bullets and Buckets By Janelle Lee

I enjoyed the Bullets & Boots series that I had read so I was really excited to read Bullets and Buckets By Janelle Lee. I enjoyed this one just as much. This is one of those really cute, really quick reads that has you flying through it.

Michelle Hanlan is a Big City girl who is spending spending a year on her Grandfather's ranch. This girl just wants to get through the year and get back to the big city. However her Hero Cowboy saves her from a snake and changes things.

Rick is a cowboy through and though. Right down to riding bulls in the Rodeo. Michelle is shocked at his bull riding skills when she attends the Rodeo. 

Sparks fly between Michelle and her cowboy Rick instantly. There is attraction but oh boy do these two know how to push each other buttons. Michelle finds herself not so miserable in her new life on the ranch. It's cute watching a city girl settling into country life. 

 This is one of those really cute romances to watch play out. Janelle Lee had a way of making this relationship grow and mature in 24 pages and it was a sweet read all the way through.

I liked Janelle's flow of writing and I love a good story with a handsome cowboy in it. I look forward to reading more stories from the Bullets & Boots series.

All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey

I really enjoyed All He Ever Desired by Shannon Stacey. This book combines some of my favorite reading themes romance, small town setting, and close family ties.

Ryan Kowalski is one of those hot, dependable, hard working Kowalski brothers that you just fall in love with. He is in town to help his brother work on the family lodge. He has dreaded this trip back home. He has history there he would rather forget. 

Lauren Carpenter is a strong, independent, single mother with a plate full. She also has an attraction to Ryan that she would rather forget about. After all he is only back in town for a while. When her teenage son finds himself in trouble, Ryan offers a solution. This solution puts Lauren and Ryan in contact a lot more then is comfortable for either of them. 

Lauren & Ryan try really hard to fight their attraction to each other. It doesn't work though, their attraction is just too strong and they finally give in. However they have a lot things to over come if they are going to make this relationship work. 

I really enjoyed my visit the Kowalski family again. There is romance, laughter, and a little drama to keep the pages turning. I can't wait for the next book in the series and I'll be anxiously awaiting it's release.

If you enjoy the small town settings with close family ties books as much as I do I high recommend this book. 

A Man for Annalee By Vonnie Davis

I loved western romances and A Man for Annalee sounded like a great read from the beginning. There is romance, drama, and laughter all the way through this book. You can't go wrong when you combine some of my very favorite things in a book.

Annalee is a strong willed, feisty, independent woman who is fully capable of taking care of herself. I loved how Annalee handled so many situations in this book. This is a woman that you would want on your side if you were in trouble. She can kick butt and tell a person off in no time flat.

Annalee has a lot to deal with, she lost her parents, her home, and her business in Chicago fire. When she arrives in  Cicero Creek she learns that her Grandfather has been killed. This girl has lost so much that she really needs something great to happen in her life. She starts to make friends and she meets the marshal. 

Boone Hartwell is the handsome marshal that Annalee keeps tangling with. This handsome fellow finds himself on the receiving end of Annalee's lashings a few times. The more these two tangle the more they find themselves falling for each other. Watching these two falling in love is so wonderful. Boone has issues from his past too. He lost his family at a young age so these two have a lot in common.

Boone is afraid who ever killed Annalee's grandfather is after her when strange accidents start happening. He is determined he is going to protect her. 

Annalee's lashing are so good and fun to read. Vonnie Davis has done a great job of writing a touching, drama, laughter filled book. I know I will be looking for more of her work to read. 

This is part of the Bullets & Boots Series. If the rest are as good as this one I can't wait to read more!

Undressed

I really really enjoyed Undressed by Avery Aster. Not only is there a great story line but it's HOT, HOT, HOT!

Lex Easton is a strong, independent designer, daughter of a rock star, and fearless leader of her design company. Lex is one busy lady who does not need another problem added to her list. That is just what she gets when her supply order does not arrive from Girasoli Garment Company. So she takes matters into her own hands. She arrives on the Mediterranean island where Prince Massimo Tittoni is on holiday.

Prince Massimo Tittoni is the owner of Girasoli Garment Company with a past that has lead to some trust issues. When he meets Lex he is totally taken with her and very physically attracted. The sparks fly instantly with these two but it takes them awhile to get past the fun they have bickering with each other. 

I loved this book. I enjoyed reading the plot of the fashion industry and the fashion show coming together. The romance between Lex & Prince Massimo is fabulous. They are such a dynamic couple that you really cheer them on. They have a chemistry and attitude that clash but yet blend together so well. 

Not only do we get to see the relationship between Lex & her Prince we see the relationship with Lex and her circle of friends. The group is wonderful and would do anything for each other.

This is a debut novel by Avery Aster and she did a great job. She kept my interest all the way through and had a very nice flow. I look forward to see what she has in store for us next.

I agree with the warning in the description this is a hot book with vivid description and language. So if that is not your style you won't enjoy this book. Other wise if you are looking for a HOT, interesting read I think you'll enjoy this book. 

When Snow Falls by Brenda Novak

I am a HUGE fan of series books and tend to love them all. This series is no exception. I love the Whiskey Creek series and this one lived up to my expectation. I really enjoyed visiting Whiskey Creek and enjoyed reading Cheyenne & Dylan's Story.

Cheyenne is a sweet innocent girl that has had a rough life traveling all over with her not so nice mother and sister. Chey remembers something that just doesn't sit well with her but her Mom always brushes off the questions and doesn't really give her any answers. Chey has taken on the care of her very Ill mother and also tries to lead her sister down a different path way to a better life. She has her hands full.

She meets up with the town bad boy Dylan who turns out not to be such a bad boy. He's a guy that has taken on a lot of responsibility himself. He has taken on the responsibility of his brother since his Mom died and his Dad went to prison. He has his hands full just like Chey. 

When these two finally meet and get to know each other it doesn't take long for sparks to fly. Even though Chey has been in love with the same guy forever, who never really has noticed her, she starts to fall for the bad boy (who's not so bad). 

There is a lot of emotion and drama in this book. It sure does keep you turning pages. I can't wait for the next in the Whiskey Creek series.

Marriage of Inconvenience by Cheryl Bolen

Marriage of Inconvenience is the first Historical Love Inspired book I have read. It's also the first book I have read by Cheryl Bolen. I'm usually not a fan of this time period but I have to say this book had my attention from the first chapter. 

Miss Rebecca Peabody has been living with her her sister and her husband. She is so ready for some independence and feels that marring will accomplish this for her. So she takes matters into her own hands and proposes marriage to Earl of Aynsley. At first the Ansley isn't sure that he wants to marry again. Shortly after he meets with Rebecca he finds out that he has lost more staff due to his children's behavior. He really could use a wife to run his estate. These two strongly opinionated people marry to gain what they both are in need of or what they think they are in need of.

Rebecca & Ansley get to know each other more after they arrive at the Ansley estate. Rebecca also takes to his children instantly. There is some drama with the daughter. 

I really enjoyed watching this family form and adjust to each other not only as husband & wife but also with the children. 

As I said this the first I have read by Cheryl Bolen but I know I would pick up another one of her books again.

Back to You by Robin Kaye

I received this Back to You in the mail and read a few pages while I was waiting for my mom to do a few things around town. I was hooked by page one! I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book and can not wait to read more by Robin Kaye. 

Breanna Collins is a busy girl taking care of her boss that is more like a father to her, her bar/dinner, and a little girl. She has her hands full so she ask for help from her boss' sons. Little does she know the son she is going to get help from is Storm Decker. Oh boy there reunion was full of drama from the moment they seen each other. 

Storm has come home to help take care of his father. Little does he know that Breanna (the girl he left behind) is staying in his father's apartment. Storms goes through a lot of changes in his thought processes in this story. 

I loved ready about Storm & Breanna I can't wait for the next in the series. I know I will be on the look out for more books by Robin Kaye.

The Heidelberg Effect

I enjoyed reading The Heidelberg Effect by Susan Kiernan-Lewis. This is the first book I have had the pleasure to read by Susan Kiernan-Lewis.

Ella Stevens is trying to find her place in life. Just when she thinks she has made a great decision to move to Germany she meets the man of her dreams Rowan. They try to keep their long distance relationship together and when they think it is falling apart Ella finds her self transported back to 1620. This book is full of twist and turns and drama. When I thought it might be hard to keep up with the major change in time the author did a great job of keeping things flowing and never losing me. 

I have to admit I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this book and thought I would have a hard to time reading it even though it sounded really good. However I was pleasantly surprise to find myself flying through this book and really enjoying it.

I would love to read more by Susan Kiernan-Lewis. She did a great job keeping my interest.

Gladie finds herself in the mix of trying to solve what could be a murder, when bodies stop showing up other places. Not only is she in over her head trying to solve what she thinks might be a murder she meets the HOT new Police Chief, Spencer Bolton . Sparks fly with these two, their attracted to each other but can't help but bicker. She also meets the HOT new neighbor Arthur Holden. Wow in the course of the week Gladie gets herself into a lot of sticky situations where these two hunks take turns coming to her rescue. 

I loved watching Gladie get herself into one mess after another in try to get herself out. It's going to be fun to read the next book in the series to see which handsome hunk Gladie spends time with. With these two hunks it's going to be a tough choice. The police Chief Spencer is a man that finds his way around town with the women and has already gotten a reputation of it. Arthur Holden is a complete mystery to all but their is a serious number of rumors floating around as to what he might do for a living. 

If you like a good mystery with a small amount of romantic encounters thrown in I think you'll enjoy this book. I know I myself can't wait to read the next book in the series to see what kind of trouble Gladie can find herself in next. 

The Merger Mogul

The title of this book was enough to catch my attention. It sounded really good and it lived up to it. 

Daniel Tennant, aka The Merger Mogul is all about business and his playboy status. This guy lived up to both titles. He was all about making the deal go through and bye bye see you later once the deal was closed with both his business & personal life. That is until he get some bad health news. While he is recovering he goes through some life changing events. This guy turns out to be a guy any girl would be proud to introduce to her parents. 

Daniel meets Kathryn Taylor, aka KT while he is recovering from health issues. Oh Boy do sparks start to fly right away. KT is a good girl though and believes in saving herself for marriage. Talk about opposites attracting! 

Watching these two get to know each other and watching Daniel go through some life changing moments makes for a really good book. 

I Really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more by Donna Every.
