Chosen As The Frenchman's Bride (Harlequin Presents) Review

What I can I say? This new writer did a wonderful job with the storyline. It was very believable and realistic, yet still romantic. The two main characters have a sizzling chemistry from the moment they meet and it was maintained throughout the entire story. Both were flawed but very likeable, especially the hero. The setting was vivid and romantic and the plot flowed very well, although there were a few parts that were frustrating. However, it was not ridiculously drawn out so as to overpower a great plot.
It is refreshing to read something for a change under the harlequin title, done with a sort of old approach, dressed and spiced up so as to make it refreshing. It kept me reading until 3 am and I had to go to work the same day. Now that has to be a really good book!
I say great job to Ms. Green for such a wonderful first effort. I hope she keeps up the good work and show those other boring, no-imagination harlequin writers how a real romance should be written.

Scoundrel In My Dreams: The Runaway Brides Review

I would just like to start out saying that I haven't read the other two books that go with this series. In the future I might read them because I really did enjoy the premise behind the series even if it was a little out there. When I first read the story I was a little confused by what was going on. Just an fyi it starts with a story and then goes into the future, but then goes back in time and then goes in the future four years later....see why I was confused. Just keep reading and all the back and forth will make sense.
Jack and Laurel well they have an interesting back story. Jack is "in love" with Laurel's sister and Jack had to leave while they were courting because of war. He comes back and Laurel sleeps with him to soothe his heartache over the loss of his cousin who died. When Jack wakes up he think that he slept with Amy instead of Laurel and goes and talks to her father for her hand in marriage. He comes to find out that Amy has moved on to bigger and better things and doesn't want to marry him. He leaves and doesn't come back for four years when he gets a letter from his friend telling him to come home.
Laurel tries to get Melody back from Jack and he locks her in an attic...I know.....seriously who does that!!! This is one of the things I mean by out there. I still liked the story. Jack is an interesting character he isn't charming and doesn't know exactly what to say he struggles...a lot. You are really able to see his and Laurels growth throughout the book and that is something I enjoy in any romance novel. It is like you are on the side lines to their romance. I don't want to say much else because I don't want to give away the rest of the story. Anyway, Melody is seriously adorable and I wish that if I were to have a child she would be just as cute, but I am not going to get my hopes up.
I use to be a nanny to an adorable little girl. Melody made me think of her and what a blessing children are and how they really have the power to open people's hearts.

Scoundrel In My Dreams: The Runaway Brides Overview

The child is his: Jack, or rather, Lord John Redgrave knows it the instant he glimpses the blue-eyed girl who was abandoned on the steps of his gentleman's club. Her mother came to his room one dark night more than three years ago--and spurned his proposal the very next day. But when Jack visits Amaryllis Clarke to demand an explanation, he receives the shock of his life. For it wasn't proud, worldly Amaryllis with whom he spent that soul-stirring night. It was her infatuated younger sister, Laurel.Laurel was only seventeen when she gave her innocence to Jack--and paid a steep price. She might be overjoyed about her reunion with little Melody, but Laurel won't surrender to her desires again. Jack, meanwhile, has no wish to give up the daughter he never knew he had. Nor will he part with the sensual woman who makes him feel alive with longing. He intends to use any means possible to convince Laurel to stay. After all, all's fair in matters of seduction--especially to a scoundrel in love...

Secret Surrogate (Harlequin Intrigue) Review

Texas sheriff Lucas Creed had lost his wife and unborn child to a stray bullet meant for his deputy, Kylie Monroe.
Now she is in trouble and needs his help - mostly because she is his secret surrogate. Kylie hopes to give Lucas what he most desires - a child. She had made a promise to her best friend, Lucas's wife, to help him find happiness.
Now someone has found her and she finds herself surrounded by danger.
Lucas didn't want anything to do with Kylie, as he held her responsible for his wife's death. Yet he was a good sheriff and listened to her after her 911 call. Someone was stalking her. Then he finds out that she is pregnant. Wow!
Now they had to track down the villians that were threatening her and Lucas wants an answer on how she became his surrogate.
A most intrigueing story - and you just can't wait for the next chapter.
Highly recommended - great story. I would say it is a keeper!

Secret Surrogate (Harlequin Intrigue) Overview


The last thing this Texas sheriff wanted was to heed a frantic late-night call from the woman who'd destroyed his life. Old wounds were ripped wide-open after Lucas Creed discovered that his former deputy had moved on-and was pregnant to boot. But after rescuing Kylie Monroe from hired guns and taking her under his protection, she repaid him by dropping a bombshell on his world-weary shoulders....

Kylie knew that her misstep in the line of duty had cost Lucas everything. Now, as his secret surrogate, she planned to give the gruff lawman the ultimate gift to heal his heart-although it would break her own. When they teamed up to expose the corrupt man behind the threats, would their glacial rift melt beneath an inferno of desire?

Innocent Secretary... Accidentally Pregnant (Modern Romance) Review

Luca is a playboy. Emma knows just the type being she was raised by her single father and four older brothers who all view women as something of a game. Hunt, claim, toss the remains in the trash. So when she starts something with her boss she knows that before it starts it's going to end and before it ends she's going to get heartbroken.
Luca is the type of character I usually hate, a real womanizing bastard who wears fake charm like most people put on shirts and yet, like Emma, I found myself falling a little bit in love with him too. His father was abusive to his mother, and there was a history of serious spousal abuse going back much further in his family. He absolutely refused to get serious with a woman and once he started to care even the slightest bit he would cut and run, afraid he would one day become violent, while sleeping around in a sad attempt to ease some of his inner pain. I have never seen a more nasty and yet utterly sympathetic "hero" in a romance novel before and I would be hard pressed to think of a more memorable lead, even though his patterns are the generic male harlequin statue quo.
This isn't an easy book to read. Luca is mean, nasty, and down right cruel to Emma most of the time. He tells her that she's boring, he doesn't like her, that she's bad in bed and takes back his statement of love with the excuse he was just trying to get her into bed. I feel about him like Emma does, that he is a good person who does terrible things. I was slightly unsatisfied with the ending being I thought given Luca's CONSTANT rejection she forgave him way, way, way too easily. He gave her an explanation of his past, but that doesn't justify the way he treated her and I really would have loved to see Luca court her and have a few scenes with him showing his love, not buried under a mound of growls.
But this really is a wonderful, if very emotional and heartbreaking tale of one extraordinarily damaged man and one slightly damaged woman trying to come to terms with their feelings for each other. Don't let the stupid title and even worse cover fool you, this book is light years better than the standard harlequin fare.
5 stars.

Innocent Secretary... Accidentally Pregnant (Modern Romance) Overview

Plain and prim Emma Stephenson might not look like a tycoon's assistant, but for Luca D'Amato--a playboy who likes to play-- breaking through her no-nonsense exterior is his favorite new game!
Sensible Emma thought all they'd be sharing was an office--not a "bed!" But she's learning fast about what being Luca's "personal" assistant really means!
Now he's standing there offering her a promotion, and she's trying to find the words to tell him...she's pregnant!

Dark Melody (The Carpathians (Dark) Series, Book 10) Review

Dark Melody should also be called Dark Reunion, because many old friends from the previous "Dark" series finally came together to aide Dayan and his pregnant,dying lifemate, Corinne. This book arrived at my house yesterday and I finished it last night. It was everything I expected in a "Dark" book and more. The humorous interaction between the male Carpathians made me chuckle. The determination of the heroine Corinne to live long enough to give her baby a chance at life pulled at your heartstrings. Although all of the "Dark" books are well written, these characters had that something extra that had you rooting for them throughout the whole book. I must admit the secondary heroine, Lisa, with her inability to grasp reality made me want to shake her silly. Especially when because of her,she,Corinne and her baby, and even Cullen (from Dark Fire) were put in mortal danger. You rejoice that Cullen finds love again(even if it is with Lisa). The only bad thing about finishing a Christine Feehan "Dark" book, is having to wait until the next one comes out. But I suppose I can go back and reread the series from start to finish again. It will be like revisiting old friends.

Separate Beds Review

Separate Beds is without a doubt one of the best books I've ever read. It is a wonderfully written book about two people and how their lives change when their actions on a blind date result in an unexpected and unwanted pregnancy.
Catherine Anderson is a college student who comes from a poor family. Her father is an abusive alcoholic and her mother is a frail creature who doesn't stand up for herself. Catherine's life is a struggle and she isn't shown any love by her family. Clay Forrester, however, is the guy who has it all--money, great looks, a fast car, a family who loves him and everything he wants at his fingertips. These two are set up on a blind date and when Catherine shows up at Clay's house with her father Clay doesn't even remember her. Clay's pressured by his family to do the right thing and give the baby a name. Clay and Catherine agree to a marriage that will keep Clay's name reputable and will give the baby a name. Catherine will get a college education and financial support for the baby. They agree to divorce after the baby is born. Their marriage though must look legitimate and not like the business deal that it is. However, they begin to have feelings for each other but their pride stands in the way. Will the marriage work or will they go their separate ways?
This book is just incredible. It is written with such feeling that the reader forgets these are fictional characters and begins to care about what happens to them. I found myself cheering Clay on when he tries to help Catherine understand her feelings. The reader can really see how much Clay cares for Catherine and how much she cares for him, even though she won't admit it.
This is a wonderful story. I was sad to finish this story as I wanted it to go on. The characters were all well developed and the story was great. This book is a guaranteed page turner as you just have to keep reading to see if these two can put pride aside and let their love for each other show. A book to put on the keeper shelf and read again. I highly recommend this book.

Separate Beds Overview

A moving and delightful novel from a New York Times bestselling author who "knows how to tug at readers' heart strings" (Publishers Weekly).

The Italian Prince's Pregnant Bride (Harlequin Presents) Review

Aimee Black can't believe the audacity of some people, especially the man that just accosted her on the street no less. The granddaughter of the owner of the SCB bank, Aimee has just about had enough of domineering and bossy men. Just that day her grandfather told her he was stepping down from control of the bank, and Aimee knows without a doubt that she is the only person capable in their family to take over the reins. Her grandfather, however, has other plans. Plans that have infuriated Aimee so much that she does something that she never ever does. She goes out to a club drinking and dancing. It is in this club that her eyes meet those of the man that ran into her earlier in the day. When she sees how he is looking at her she thinks of nothing else but running out of the club and getting away, but to no avail. He finds her and proceeds to show her exactly how he feels smart mouthed women should be dealt with.
Prince Nicolo Barbieri is in Manhattan to negotiate the taking over of the SCB Bank. Arriving at his hotel, as he is stepping out of his limo, he runs into a beautiful woman who immediately berates him and all but cusses him out for his actions, no matter that they were completely accidental and Nicolo was actually apologizing. Not prepared for the animosity radiating out of this woman's pores, Nicolo does the only thing he can think of at the time - he kisses her speechless and then dares her to hit him.
Sparks fly when Aimee and Nicolo come together. They have no idea that in just a few short weeks their lives will be even more entwined. While circumstances force Nicolo to do the right thing, Aimee knows that he doesn't love her. Or does he?
The premise and blurb for The Italian Prince's Pregnant Bride captivated my attention so much that I had to read this book. Once I began to read, my expectations went out the window and I found myself more than once wincing at the harsh words Aimee said to Nicolo at their first meeting on the street. However, when he found her in the club and proceeded to show her just how much he had been thinking about her, I blushed and kept reading. I love stories of strangers coming together and then finding each other again, and this was such a book. But, that is where the fairy tale ends. When both characters meet each other again after being apart for three months, the only thing they had going for each other was their desire, which was hard to believe since they spent most of their time together fighting. Nicolo needed his face slapped more than once and I wanted to shake Aimee for the stubborn woman she was.
Sandra Marton's The Italian Prince's Pregnant Bride was a good read, full of hot Italian emotions. I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to because of the constant conflict between the heroine and hero. I just could not make myself believe that they loved and cared for each other. I will read Sandra Marton's next release in September because while I didn't like the characters of this book, I am not going to forget about how well written the book was, nor how I stayed on the edge of my seat to see where the plot was going.

The Italian Prince's Pregnant Bride (Harlequin Presents) Overview


It was payday for Prince Nicolo Barbieri. The Italian aristocrat's negotiations to take over Manhattan's SCB bank were about to bear fruit. But he wasn't expecting Aimee Black, granddaughter of the bank's current owner-- who was pregnant with Nicolo's baby! Nicolo felt duty bound to marry Aimee and give his child his name. But Aimee had other ideas about surrendering herself to this arrogant foreigner, who surely didn't love her!--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

Barely a Lady (The Drake's Rakes series) Review

I could make a list of ten things in this book that readers might say have been overdone (spies, check, the author's afterword says "blame it on Richard Sharpe"; amnesia, check; Waterloo, check; the big mis, check; etc.). However, Dreyer has built characters and a plot that held me to a solid read in which my interest never flagged from when it came in the mail yesterday evening until I went to bed waaaayyy too late. That's what a good author can do for the reader.
Not everyone will like it. Not one single person in the book is perfect (although one of the secondary characters comes close). Certainly the hero and heroine are not perfect, although the heroine is much-put-upon.

This is the second book I have read by this author. This one is much better than the other (earlier) work. It is a frightening mystery with many plot twist and turns - with only a few predictable patches. It twists down to a satisfying end leaving the reader satiated.
I would recommend to anyone!

One White Rose Review

I thoroughly enjoyed For The Roses- and went straight to the library to find these 3 smaller books. Their length did not bother me. But they did seem a little shallow. Out of the 3, One White Rose is the best to me. I did enjoy the story and would recommend others read it. The other 2 were silly and too unrealistic to me (especially One Red Rose).

Seducing Simon Review

Toni Langston has gotten herself into a bit of a pickle. OK, it's actually a pretty big mess, if you want to know the truth. Not only is she pregnant, but the father doesn't even remember having slept with her, having been uncharacteristically drunk the night it happened. To make it even worse, the father is Simon, her long-time friend and one of her roommates, who she has harbored a secret crush on for more years than she can count. Toni sees this as her last chance - if she wants Simon, she must seduce him, preferably before their baby is born.
Simon has never noticed Toni, not romantically. They are best friends and he'd do anything for her, but he has never seemed to feel the same way about Toni as she does for him. But he starts to see her in a different way after learning she is pregnant. It drives him crazy that she won't divulge the father's identity - he wants nothing more than to bash the idiot's face in for leaving Toni in this mess. In fact, the thought of her being with another man unearths feelings he never suspected he had for her. Sure, he has always been protective of her, knew he loved her, but only in a brotherly way, right? Then why has a sneaky possessive feeling suddenly started to surface, and why can't he take his eyes off of her? And above all, where did these sexy dreams about her that feel all too real come from?
Before you even buy this book, make sure you are stocked up on tissue. I think I went through at least one box while reading Maya Banks' Seducing Simon! This book has been on my wish list for quite a while and I could kick myself for not having read it much sooner. I guarantee the story will stay with me for a long time to come and I will pull it off of the bookshelf time and time again.
Toni absolutely broke my heart. Her struggle to cope with her unrequited love for Simon and an unplanned pregnancy while also dealing with the financial pressures to make a life for herself and her child, possibly alone, would be enough to break many women. The unconditional love and support she enjoys from her brother, Simon, and their other roommate, A.J. is phenomenal, and gives her the strength to keep going. The foursome fight the major life changes they know can't be avoided as they deal with Toni's pregnancy, her brother's impending marriage, and the fact that these events will require them to separate and find new homes, leaving the unconventional, yet comfortable family nest they have built together.
Watching Toni learn how to seduce Simon is hilarious! Growing up a tomboy who never had eyes for any man but Simon, she has not had much experience developing seduction skills. Taking tips from their firefighter friends on how to catch his attention, she sets about her task with a vengeance, knowing her time is short, and she must soon tell Simon the baby is his. The changes she goes through in her attempts serve to confound Simon at every turn - and who doesn't love to watch a man in utter bewilderment trying to make sense of his own feelings as well as a woman's actions? Toni learns fast, keeping Simon on his toes as he slowly starts to realize his own feelings for her.
But the secret Toni has kept threatens everything they build. She's taken so long to spill the mystery of her baby's father that she can't quite figure how best to tell him without leaving him feeling betrayed, or worse. Readers, who enjoy an omniscient view of the tale, and the one friend she confides in, well understand and support her reasons for the delay, but empathy for Simon is present as well when he finally learns the truth. His reaction sets off a chain of events that threaten to destroy everything he holds dearest, and force him to face his innermost feelings and truths.
Maya Banks can write a tragic heroine like no one else. She knows just how to tear your heart to shreds, and then put it all back together better than it ever was before. If ever I've finished a story and started to think of the characters as real people, this would be it. The characters were so very lifelike, the situation so possible, that I could easily believe it if someone told me it was a biography. Ultimately, Seducing Simon serves to remind readers that even situations which seem impossible to recover from can have a happy ending. It is a book I'll read whenever I need to recharge my own hope.

Seducing Simon Overview

One fateful night, Toni Langston seduces her best friend, the guy she's been in love with forever. Two problems-he doesn't remember a thing that happened and now she's pregnant. Toni Langston has been in love with Simon, her best friend, for years. The night Simon breaks up with his long time girlfriend, he and Toni make love. Toni is devastated and humiliated when, in the heat of the moment, he calls her by his girlfriend's name. The next morning, Simon remembers nothing of the previous night and Toni is only too relieved not to remind him. Two months later, she discovers she's pregnant. She wants Simon to love her, apart from any obligation he might feel because of the baby. So she embarks on a quest to seduce her best friend, to make him see her as more than a little sister, to make him love her as much as she loves him. It works. Maybe too well. Now when things are perfect, she faces telling him of the secret she's kept.

Somebody's Baby: Shelter Valley Stories (Harlequin Superromance No. 1272) Review

This is the last in the series of Shelter Valley stories by Tara Tyler Quinn. While it is not as good as the other ones if you have read the other books, it is interesting to see what happens to the people from the other books
At the heart of the story is Caroline Prater, a widow with a college bound son and is pregnant by a one night stand with a widower who can't get over the death of his wife in a car accident. She finds out that she has a twin Phyllis Sheffield living in Shelter Valley Arizona (which is also where the babies father lives) She goes there and enrolled for her sisters classes and tells John Strickland that she is going to have his baby.
Along the way she meets Becca Parsons, Randi Foster, Tory Sanders, Cassie Monford, Bonnie Nielson, and Beth Richards who live in the town and also had their own books. Caroline also helps the group when Phyllis finds out that her twin son and daughter are missing.
What happens with the twins? What happens between Caroline and John

Somebody's Baby: Shelter Valley Stories (Harlequin Superromance No. 1272) Overview

She'll try to connect with her twin sister, Phyllis Sheffield. And she'll seek out John Strickland, the father of her baby--if only to let him know.

John is a well-known architect, a still-grieving widower who's settled in Shelter Valley. He and Caroline met six weeks earlier when he traveled to Kentucky....

Caroline's waiting for the right moment to approach Phyllis, unsure whether her unsuspecting twin will welcome her presence. And she develops a deeper relationship with John--but that's just for the baby's sake. Or is it?

The Bride's Baby (Harlequin Romance) Review

The book blurb made me think this was a Secret Baby story... Well, it was but, at the same time, it really wasn't considering the fact that the baby wasn't a secret. Confusing? Yes, that's the feeling I had throughout most of the book.
Tom and Sylvie had a brief meeting when she was introduced as the wedding planner for his upcoming nuptials to her friend Candy. An unexpected attraction sparked on both sides but, considering that he was about to get married, Tom and Sylvie shoved that feeling aside and never let anyone - including themselves - realize it. But after 6 months of heavy planning and preparation, Candy ditched everything to elope with one of Sylvie's employees 3 days before the wedding. Naturally, Tom felt it was his due to unload all his "annoyance" on Sylvie - after all, she had plagued his dreams since he had met her - and, before they knew it, their mutual suppressed attraction took over and they were having unprotected sex on his bed... Since this is Romancelandia, the "worst" thing you can get from unprotected sex is a pregnancy, so that's what Sylvie got. Unfortunately, Tom was no longer in the picture when Sylvie found herself pregnant, since he had left the country the day after their one-night stand. Unable to reach him by telephone, she had no choice but to deliver him the news by letter. Obviously, he never got to receive that letter and so this Failure to Communicate story took off...
This was one of those stories that wouldn't make past the 1st chapters if the hero and the heroine sat together and spoke CLEARLY with each other. Regardless, Tom and Sylvie were very likable characters, and that kind of "saved" the book for me and prevented me from throwing it against the wall - figuratively speaking, since this was an e-book. I rooted for their HEA and was glad when the darn Big Misunderstanding was finally resolved.
As for the writing, Ms. Fielding had the distracting habit of inserting the word "then" between the lines of the characters' speech. For example:
"Is that a fact?" Then, "So? Where are they?"
"I'd come and give you a hand but I have to take delivery of a cake." Then, "Do you need a hand up?"
I have to ask, what was the purpose of the word "then" in there? To gave us pause? To help her reach the necessary word count to meet the publisher's requirements? I know I'm nitpicking but that word was used over and over again in the story, and it was annoying.
All in all, I'm glad this was a freebie because I would have been "mad" if I had paid anything for this book.

The Millionaire's Nanny Arrangement (Harlequin Romance) Review

CUTE, PREDICTABLE, and just OKAY.
It's light as a feather, you see the ending coming from the first page, the story is darling, lovely, PREDICTABLE, a little DRY, but overall, a good read for the price you pay, and well worth the trouble.
It's really a good book, really it is.
But light as a feather.
"And they all lived, happily, ever after." The End.
THAT kinda book.
Old School Harlequin Romance where the put-upon stressed out, broke-and-pregnant-but-still-smart-and-beautiful little nanny wins the heart, and respect, of the hard-as-nails-rich-and-georgous-single-daddy boss man.
It's worth the two bucks to download. It really is. This is the book you read when you've had a crap day and just want to escape into another, better world.

Kiss of a Demon King (Immortals After Dark, Book 6) Review

Rydstrom Woede has been fighting and searching for a way to kill Omort, the sorcerer that invaded and desecrated his castle, Castle Tornin, in the Kingdom of Rothkalina hundreds of years ago. The rightful king of demons, Rydstrom is in search of a special sword in which to behead Omort and resume his rightful place on the throne. Despite dead end after dead end Rydstrom refuses to give up his plan. He is the heir to the kingdom and he will find a way to restore honor and loyalty to his subjects. With this in mind, he continues on his wild goose chase to find the one thing guaranteed to kill Omort.
Getting a tip from his brother, Rydstrom begins his journey to their meeting place only to come face to face with a coquettish vixen. When she implores his help Rydstrom doesn't hesitate but it is only when he is fully under her spell does he realize who she is - Sabine - the Queen of Illusions and his enemy's sister. Then to add to his animosity, she captures him and places him in her dungeon, or rather, his dungeon. Rydstrom is not a happy demon and when he gets free, Sabine is going to pay. But first, he has to resist her charms and attempts at seduction. And that is something that he definitely does not want to do.
The minute I finished reading Dark Desires After Dusk, I envisioned Rydstrom's story, KISS OF A DEMON KING, as being pivotal to this series and I knew without a doubt that it would be a story worthy of this illustrious and very noble demon king. I love when I am correct because KISS OF A DEMON KING was extraordinary.
Having lost his home hundreds of years ago to the foulness of Omort, Rydstrom spent the next years of his long life trying to find the one thing that was deadly to this wicked sorcerer. But through it all, he also had visions of finding the one woman he could make his queen. A woman his people would cherish and honor as their king's consort -- a woman he would love and in turn would love him as well and raise a family with him.
Fate had a funny way of rearing its head when the powers that be chose Sabine as Ryd's mate. Not known for her niceness, Sabine has magic so potent that it can be deadly to anyone that crosses her path. Kept in line by her brother, Sabine is reliant upon Omort's good will because without it, her life would be in more danger than it already is. Capturing Rydstrom is one thing, falling in love with him is another and Sabine fights with her almost non-existent conscience every step of the way.
KISS OF A DEMON KING is full of magic, mayhem, sorcery and sensuality. Readers will not want to miss one word of this memorable and enchanting tale. The closer to the end I got the slower I read because I knew once the story ended I would be left craving more of this brilliant and emotionally gripping saga.
KISS OF A DEMON KING releases from Pocket on January 20, 2009. Since it is book 6 of Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series, I recommend reading the books in order but it is not necessary; KISS OF A DEMON KING stands alone on its own merits. It is truly one of the most amazing tales Kresley Cole has ever released.

Sweet Spot (Bakery Sisters) Review

Nicole is bummed that she's in the middle of a divorce, not speaking to her youngest sister, and everyone around her (including a stray dog) seems to be pregnant. One morning a teen comes into her bakery and attempts to steal donuts. She calls the cops but instead sexy football coach Eric "Hawk" Hawkins shows up. Brash Nicole wants nothing to do with the smooth charmer, but agrees to let Raoul work off the donuts at her store. Raoul soon proves to be an invaluable asset and she gives him a full time job, and soon he moves in with her when she discovers his foster family has kicked him out. Meanwhile everyone seems to be taking pity on her single status, so she opts to make a bargain with Hawk to pretend to be her lover in exchange for, well the fringe benefits of being a lover. Widowed Hawk never even considers that he might actually fall for the often prickly baker. And then there is his impetuous princess of a daughter...
Mallery's second installment in the Bakery sisters trilogy is a bit disappointing. Nicole is absolutely obnoxious throughout 95% of the first novel, and pretty much half of this one, so I had a hard time actually liking or caring what happened to her character. I did like that Raoul brought out the softer side of her, but disliked the way that she treated just about everyone else around her. And what about her supposed BFF, Wyatt - he was completely MIA in this novel.
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT: I really hate the trite plot device that some authors resort to in order to get a couple together - the dreaded unexpected pregnancy. Really, can't they find a better way to bring a couple together? Use a little creativity. This novel could have been so much better had Mallery not resorted to impregnating all three of the Keyes sisters in order to get their respective men (well, don't know for sure about baby sis Jesse since she is in the next book, but my money's on it). She has realistic dialog, pretty good secondary characters, and a heroine who (finally) grows. It could have been a pretty good story; instead, it's just pretty average.
© Tracy Vest, September 2008

Sweet Spot (Bakery Sisters) Overview

"Responsibility" should be Nicole Keyes's middle name. After all, not many people would sacrifice their lives to run the family bakery and raise a younger sibling. But with Nicole's twin sister now blissfully married and her younger sis turning out more femme fatale than girl-next-door, super reliable Nicole is getting sick of putting everyone else's needs first! Enter Hawk. The deliciously sexy former NFL player offers Nicole a taste of the freedom she craves. Hawk may know the way, blindfolded, to her sweet spot, but Nicole's not about to let him get close enough to break her heart. Of course, she might not have a choice in the matter if Hawk's past keeps getting in the way of their present.…

Because You're Mine Review

I'm surprised to see some of the bad reviews here. I throughly enjoyed this book and finished it in a day. While some may see the plots and characters "formulaic", heck, they work-and I might add,similar plotlines have worked for some of bestselling romance writers as well for years. "If it ain't broke why fix it?"
Logan is a great "tortured" hero. 30, been around the block and then some with many lovers, but had only one "true"love that betrayed him. Madeline is the perfect yin to his yang. Sweet, full of love and patience, but still a strong woman. Unlike others, I found it likable that here is a regency heroine who refused to sit back and be betrothed to a truly horrid person just because it's the "right" thing for her parents interests. She was willing to accept whatever fate her actions caused, and that would have been huge in those days.
It was refreshing to see characters, hero & heroine both, who were basically abused growing up (he was physically, she was neglected/emotionally put down) that went on with their lives and became productive members of society rather than let their misfortune make then abusive themselves. The sub-plot dealing with these issues were very engrossing to read.
The playhouse storyline was refreshing as most regencies deal strictly with the "ton", so this was a unique change of pace. This book struck me as similar in chemistry and plot movement to some other well known authors like Johanna Lindsey and Amanda Quick. I think Miss Kleypas has a long and illustrious career ahead of her and will in time become as popular as some of these authors if not more.
The love scenes are highly sensual-I found nothing "icky" about the fact that she was 18 and he 30-hell, the man her parents wanted her for was probably at least 50, so what's the big deal? Marriages with this age difference were common in this time period, so I didn't find it implausible in the least.Highly entertaining, highly recommended 5 stars!

Because You're Mine Overview


"I don't care about your conscience. All I want is for you to kiss me again.”

Lady Madeline Matthews would rather shame herself than sacrifice her freedom. To avoid marrying an aging, lecherous lord, she seeks out the company of Logan Scott, for a torrid affair with the notorious womanizer would surely condemn her in the eyes of good society.

In truth, Logan is an intensely private man tormented by past betrayals. Now a forward little minx, completely at sea in London's sophisticated whirl, is disrupting his life with her vibrant charm and unspoiled beauty. But when what begins with a kiss threatens to blossom into something more rapturous and real, will Logan and Madeline have the courage to drop the masks they hide behind in the name of love?

The Pregnancy Test Review

Mandy Keeling, while on her way to a job interview is suddenly overcome by morning sickness so severe that she is literally doubled over in an elevator. There is a gorgeous man on the elevator with her. Imagine her horror upon finding out that he is none other than Damien "Demon" Sharpton, the very man her interview is scheduled with. Damien is just as horrified, being totally clueless as to what to do for this very sick woman. Despite the interview ending with Mandy throwing up in his wastebasket, Damien hires Mandy as his assistant and is grateful that he has found someone so efficient. His only qualm is that he never sees her as the majority of their communication
is done by instant messaging and email. He has no way of knowing that Mandy is purposefully avoiding him so he won't notice her slowly expanding waistline. She desperately needs this job for the health insurance benefits as well as the regular hours which will make arranging day care much easier. Damien wants to spend more time with Mandy and insists that she accompany him on a business trip to the Caribbean. Mandy doesn't want to go, not only for the risk of Damien seeing her in a swimsuit, but because she has been having highly erotic dreams about him. Soon the two of them are playing games, both innocent resort games and more erotic private games. Eventually Damien finds out about Mandy's pregnancy; when he fully understands the reasons behind her secrecy, he cannot believe that the father could abandon her the way he did. Despite the intense sexual attraction between her and Damien, Mandy is worried about what the future will hold for her and her baby. Erin McCarthy has yet again given readers a beautifully written story, with humor, sensuality, a very real look at pregnancy and the trepidation when that pregnancy is unexpected. This book is an emotionally charged example of the best of Erin McCarthy.

The Pregnancy Test Overview

Ordinarily, I'm a fan of pink-lovely colour, does smashing things for the complexion. But not when it's the bright, glaring stripe staring back at me on the pregnancy test. Then, pink is the colour of major oops, of morning sickness, of boyfriends who seemed decent but now are part of some Jerk Witness Protection Program. Still, I've got a few things going for me-bitter humour, a divine right to eat till I'm the size of Marlon Brando, and good friends who've managed to get me a job interview with one Damien Sharpton: in need of a personal assistant, and some say, a good, swift kick in the arse. If you want to make a lasting impression, by all means, toss your cookies in your future boss's wastebasket, which is located directly between his excruciatingly sexy legs. Apparently, Mr. Gorgeous-But-Unbearably-Anti-Social must like personal assistants who violate his trash can, because I got the job. And if I can avoid him via text messaging for the next seven months of health insurance, everything will be just fine. Except that he's just asked-no, insisted-that I go with him on a business trip to the Caribbean. Gulp. Ordinarily, this would be cause for celebration.Ordinarily, I'd shave my legs, pack my bikini, revel in day-glo drinks and my seething lust for Mr. Swarthy-And-Secretive. But there's nothing ordinary about this situation...which means it could be absolutely extraordinary...
