Release Date: November 30, 2015
SYNOPSIS
She never intended to take a husband...
Scotland, 1817
The Duke of Manchester's sister, Lady Sarah Lacey, always abides by the rules of etiquette. Fate, however, has no such confines. On a journey to the Scottish Highlands, Lady Sarah is set upon by misfortune-leaving her without carriage or chaperone, and left to the mercy of a kind and handsome gentleman. Whom (in order to secure a room at an inn) she announces is her husband.
When she proclaims they're married in public, Professor Braeden McKinnon can't bring himself to correct the lovely Lady Sarah. After all, her reputation would be ruined. Nor can he tell her that her proclamation is not only legally binding in Scotland, but sharing a room is considered to be an act of consummation...
Now they are bound together until death do they part-even if Sarah has no intention of becoming any man's wife.

REVIEW: THE HIGHLANDER'S ACCIDENTAL MARRIAGE (MARRIAGE MART MAYHEM #6) BY CALLIE HUTTON
The Highlander's Accidental Marriage by Callie Hutton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sarah is a force to be reckoned with. Small in statue but large in personality. Braeden is taken aback by Sarah's beauty but turned off by her demeanor. I received an ARC of The Highlander's Accidental Marriage by Callie Hutton in exchange for an honest review. Braeden and Sarah's story was a lot more light hearted and comedic than the previous book in this series. Sarah is a lot more open minded than her sister Sybil. That quality has come at the cost of her being a bit more innocent in matters of the world. I mean how else would she find herself in the situation that she did? I don't want to ruin the story for future readers so I'll keep this review brief. An open heart and open mind can lead to a meeting of the minds. Ms. Hutton has brought to the table another magnetic read.

REVIEW: THE ROYAL CONQUEST (SCANDALOUS HOUSE OF CALYDON #4)
BY STACY REID
The Royal Conquest by Stacy Reid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ms. Reid like a fine wine, keeps getting better. I am relatively new to her writing. I discovered her back in March when I got the chance to read Sins of A Duke. Her ability to humanize characters by showing their weaknesses is what I love most about her work. With fiction and romance sometimes we as readers get caught up in the fantasy of make-believe. With the Royal Conquest we are taken through the pain of facing emotions without the blinders. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Payton and Mikhail read like a cacophony. They were a mismatched couple that started out a riotous mess but ended as a harmonic rhapsody.

Release Date: November 30, 2015
SYNOPSIS
He never expected the clues to lead to her…
Edward Adair, heir to the Duke of Boulstridge, is more interested in finding a missing family heirloom than a wife.

Instead, he discovers attractive but infuriating Miss Isabella Winthrop in his library, reading the private family journal that holds clues to the location of the heirloom.
Though Isabella finds Edward haughty and arrogant, she offers to take him to the next clue mentioned in the journal if he will pay her, which will enable her to help her brother restore his estate. Edward counters with an offer of an even larger payment…if she agrees to masquerade as his betrothed to deter the other ladies until the house party ends.
As they work together to solve the mystery their mutual attraction grows, but just when they begin to think they should make their engagement real, a secret is revealed that could destroy everything.

Act Like It by Lucy Parker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Act Like It is a modern nod to theater. What I really enjoyed was getting to become familiar with the characters. Ms. Parker covered what drove them, the struggles they faced etc. Allowing the reader to develop a better understanding of the inner workings of the people. Act Like It is a glimpse at the struggles of making a high profile career and relationship work. It is in done in a clever, charming and pleasurable way that I forgot I was reading.

SYNOPSIS
Typing out memos is anything but torturous when your boss is this hot! Dani-Lyn Alexander’s irresistible new yuletide romance is a lighthearted office romp that will make you long for the company holiday party.
Olivia Calloway isn’t cut out for the nine-to-five life. She’s a born entrepreneur. She just has to figure out her soul’s true calling—and she’s given herself until the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve to do it. With her trust fund dwindling and only two and a half months to go, she takes an assistant position at prestigious law firm Harris & Harris. The problem is, Olivia’s a terrible employee—incessantly late, forgetful, and clumsy. Not that her gorgeous new boss Garrett Emerson seems to mind. Beautiful, charming Olivia has been on his mind ever since she ran into him, literally, sprinting to the interview. But Olivia’s first big assignment—to plan an elaborate last minute New Year’s Eve party for the entire company—could make or break her job entirely. With Ms. Harris herself demanding perfection, a jealous office rival rooting for Olivia to lose, and even Garrett dreading the affair, can Olivia finally prove herself—or will an unforeseen complication send her back to the drawing board? All she wants for the holidays is to be her own boss—and to ignite the flirtatious sparks between her and Garrett…so she can file their relationship under love.

REVIEW: THE NEW YEAR'S WISH BY DANI-LYN ALEXANDER
The New Year's Wish by Dani-Lyn Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Olivia has big dreams but a dwindling bank account. She needs a job, Garrett needs an assistant. What could possibly go wrong? The New Year's Wish is a story about trying something new, taking a chance on love and finding out the capabilities you have within. These two people were different in that Garrett knew the importance of responsibilities, Olivia needed to learn how to be responsible. Olivia's heart was her compass and Garrett was less of a dreamer and more of a realist. I enjoy reading stories where the character's learn and become better because of new influences within their lives. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. The New Year's Wish by Dani-Lyn Alexander is a cute story that is encouraging and brief. Less is more in this case.

REVIEW: I'LL BE THERE (THE MONTGOMERY BROTHERS #6) BY SAMANTHA CHASE
I'll Be There by Samantha Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was ecstatic when I found out that Samantha Chase was releasing a new Montgomery Brothers novel. This family is such a joy that it is no hardship to visit time and again. I'll Be There is Zach's story. Zach has been successful at whatever he touches. His personality, focus, looks and even his family name has opened doors but his ambition is the key to all of his triumphs. When larger than life Zach is forced down to earth after an accident he is anything but happy. Gabriella is a formidable match for Zach. She has worked hard to accomplish her achievements and has managed to do so despite the odds. Gabriella is no pushover. She speaks her mind. With I'll be there Samantha Chase wrote a story full of triumph but she also introduced two characters afraid of letting anyone too close for fear of appearing weak. The lesson I took away from I'll Be There is that showing emotion is not weak. Emotions are a part of the maturity process that leads to a well rounded happy life. I received an ARC of I'll be There in exchange for an honest review. 10+ Stars.

REVIEW: TRIPLETS UNDER THE TREE (BILLIONAIRES AND BABIES) BY KAT CANTRELL
Triplets Under the Tree by Kat Cantrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Kat Cantrell wrote a story that I found different from anything that I have read. Triplets Under the Tree is not a Christmas romance. It is a story of survival, second chances and moving forward. Antonio is a fighter in every sense of the word. He has managed to cheat death, survive loss and find his way home despite having amnesia. But the surprises don't end there. As he battles fleeting memories that reveal aspects of his past little by little he starts to realize that he does not like the things he is discovering about himself. Caitlyn is a nurturer. She has a tender heart and a strong will. When circumstances find her looking after three beautiful babies and losing her heart to the unattainable "man of her dreams". I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. I loved this story. Antonia and Caitlyn had to learn that love is about sacrifice and acceptance. Antonio was blessed to get a second chance at life, love, family and living out his dream. Nothing beats that.

Bane by Brenda Jackson
My rating: 3.75 of 5 stars
From the minute I read the first Denver Westmorelands story, I knew I just had to read Bane and Crystal's journey back to each other. Through ever book since Dillon's (YES I OWN THEM ALL) I have tried sometimes in vain to find out little snippets of what was going on with this couple. So imagine how overjoyed I was to discover that their love story was on it's way. Crystal and Bane's reunion was one of surprises, thrills, love and a visit with past familiar faces. I am sad to see the end of another Westmoreland series but who knows what the future holds. I received an ARC of bane in exchange for an honest review. A good end to a wonderful series.

WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: COOPER BY MELISSA FOSTER
Release Date: December 1, 2015
SYNOPSIS
“If you’re interested in books with super-hot alpha males, ridiculously sexy heroines and need-to-take-a-cold-shower love scenes, this is the series for you!” M. Engel, Book Mama Blog
If raw emotions, cursing, dirty-talk, or intense, passionate sex that sometimes includes a silk tie, turn you off, then the After Dark books are not for you.
*NO CLIFFHANGERS*
Everything's naughtier after dark...
Four years ago at a film festival, Cici Fine met Cooper Wild, a man who turned her world upside down in the span of one deliciously perfect week. He was everything she’d ever dreamed of: sinfully sexy, intelligent, and incredibly loving. When the festival ended, they returned to their own hometowns with promises of forever. But Cooper disappeared, and Cici was left to raise the daughter he never knew about alone.
Cooper is finally thinking straight after years of being lost in grief from the tragedy that killed his father and left his mother blind. Now he’s on a mission to find the woman he left behind—the only woman he’s ever loved.
But Cici Fine is no longer a naive young girl. She’s a savvy businesswoman with big responsibilities, on the cusp of a life-changing move. When fate brings the two together, they’ll put the old adage to the test and find out if love really can conquer all.

She saved the best for last. Cooper is every woman's fantasy. Handsome sensitive and a romantic at heart. Cici continues to wonder about the boy who captured her heart. Events beyond their control kept them apart. Can the hands of fate give them a happy ending? The connection between Cici and Cooper is the perfect ending for the final Wild brother.

The Wild Boys After Dark series is not what I expected but has fulfilled every single one of my hopes for a Melissa Foster Book. Loved every book.

With the heart of a warrior and the spirit of an adventurer Will Repton has faced calamities others can only imagine. When his last one ended tragically with him the sole survivor he returned home to a hero's welcome with a heavy heart. I received an ARC of In Search of Scandal in exchange for an honest review. Susanne Lord does a beautiful job in presenting a man questioning his value. Will came home a changed man. His physical limitations and awareness of his surroundings are more pronounced. He may be home but he feels like the odd man out. He and Charlotte were magic together. She opens his eyes to the fact that in life everyday is a new experience and no matter where you end up someone always has your back. This was a serious story that was laid out with sensational skill and characters that are entrancing.

REVIEW: ONE ROGUE AT A TIME (RAKES AND ROGUES #2) BY JADE LEE
One Rogue at a Time by Jade Lee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My Fair Lady has scored a regency makeover. Jade Lee has smartly put her own spin on a literary classic. Her innovation and skill has netted a story that has subtle similarities that have a modern feel but all the poise and mystery of regency era romance. I received an ARC of One Rogue at a Time in exchange for an honest review. Behind the polished demeanor Bramwell is well of secrets. Charm and etiquette are the tools he used to hide the pain of past hurts and hidden talents he has picked up over the years. Maybelle is his equal in that she is searching for acceptance just like her, she just pursues it differently. What I liked about this novel is that there is always something new to discover around the corner. I found One Rogue at a time to be a great way to past the time and would recommend to any fan of classic historical romance.

REVIEW: HOW TO SEDUCE A SCOT (BROADSWORDS AND BALLROOMS # 1) BY CHRISTY ENGLISH
How to Seduce a Scot by Christy English
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
My feelings on How To Seduce A Scot were all over the place. There were areas that had me in stitches. Alexander's approach to finding his sister a mate is priceless. His opinions on handling matchmaking mamas, marriage minded ladies and London society in general was chauvinistic. Where the problems came in for me is that some of the characters could have been probed into more deeply. I also thought that the momentum of the story itself was not very steady. The main characters: Catherine and Alexander were likable but I do not think that there match was a love one. I received an ARC of How to Seduce a Scot in exchange for an honest review. This novel is the first I have read by Ms. English and I found the story to be delightful.

Release Date: December 1, 2015
SYNOPSIS
When a bad boy falls for an angel, the sparks could set the coldest season on fire.
Pine Point, Book 2
Pine Point hasn’t changed much in the eight years Zane Andrews has been away. But Zane sure has. These days, this reformed bad boy has no problem resisting the bored housewives who flirt shamelessly with their gated community’s security guard.
The only thorn in his side is the stray dog that keeps overturning the neighborhood’s garbage cans, and the cute, crusading do-gooder who barks at him for trying to chase it off.
Becca Ericksen knows Zane is just doing his job, but his tactics are making her job—to rescue strays and bring them to Pine Point Paws—much harder. Clearly, they have nothing in common, yet when the legendary playboy asks her out, she finds herself saying yes.
With a sizzling kiss, something warm and unexpected begins to grow between them. Opposites can attract, but is attraction enough?
Warning: Contains a bad boy gone good, and a woman who’s one good deed away from disaster. Cold noses and warm kisses—and that’s just from the canines.

Clara Halton thought the worst loss she could suffer was to be stripped of her family, stricken with consumption, and left to die alone. Then she meets Blackheart. Their attraction is ruinous...and irresistible. When he delivers her like so much plunder, his mission is over — but hers has just begun.

The Pirate's Tempting Stowaway by Erica Ridley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Pirate's Tempting Stowaway was a departure from the previous books within this series. It was the heroine Clara who needed to be rescued from all the pain and anger that was going on within her life. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. I was not as into Blackheart as I have been her previous male titular characters but the one thing that I did like about him is that he unwittingly helped Clara wake up to the things she was taking for granted and gave her a better appreciation for who she was. The Pirate's Stowaway is a story that I believe needed to be told. The negativity in life has a way of influences future choices. It also builds courage and the ability to show empathy to others. Empowering story.

All He Wants for Christmas by Elisabeth Naughton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love it when I get the chance to read anthologies. One price, numerous authors and an assortment of pleasure are a good way to unwind. All He Wants for Christmas is a holiday read that has the right amount of temptation, holiday cheer and warmth that will get the holiday's jumping. Anthologies are great to read but hard to review because it is hard to pick a favorite. This read was no exception. Elisabeth Naughton, Cynthia Eden and Alexandra Ivy bring the dangerous dalliances that keep readers on edge.

Lady Marisa Hawkstone’s nightmare is just beginning when she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before, lying next to Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton—a man so aloof and rational, he’s nicknamed “the Cold Duke.” A scandal ensues, in which Marisa’s beloved beau deserts her. As a compromised woman, Marisa agrees to marry Maitland. But on her wedding night, Marisa discovers the one place the duke shows emotion: in the bedroom, where the man positively scorches the sheets.
Taught from a young age to take duty seriously, Maitland cannot understand his new wife’s demands on his love and affection. Marisa’s hot-blooded spirit, however, does have its attractions—especially at night. In retrospect, it seems quite silly that he didn’t marry sooner. But being one of the Libertine Scholars requires constant vigilance, even more so when the enemy with a grudge against his closest friends targets Marisa. Now Maitland must save the woman who sets his heart aflame—or die trying.

REVIEW: A WHISPER OF DESIRE (THE DISGRACED LORDS #4) BY BRONWEN EVANS
A Whisper of Desire by Bronwen Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A complicated hero. An inquisitive heroine. A hidden menace that threatens everything they hold dear including their lives. Bronwen Evans has created a world with darkness hiding in the shadows. A Whisper of Desire is a story of complex pieces. Ms. Evans is the consummate puppet master as she leads her audience through concealed clues and mysterious faceless adversaries. Every breath and every step brings into focus the scattered clues. A thriller that is as seductive as it is addictive. I received an ARC of Whisper in the Dark in exchange for an honest review.
