I received a arc copy in exchange for a honest review.

This story is the first book I have ever read from this author, and y'all know how much I love my sexy cowboys...and boy was this book sexy and hot and fun. It definitely blew me away on how much I came to enjoy this story and it really didn't really grab my attention until a few chapters but once I was into this book...watch out peeps...or I might just bite you if you interrupt me while reading this one. I had previously seen high ratings for this author, and I was unsure how I would feel about this one, but I have to say that I was delightfully pleased when I finished this one, and for a contemporary romance, it had the sense and feeling to the story that makes it easy to connect with on a emotional level.

The story begins when Sawyer, takes a job offer, to work on a ranch, but upon entering the bunkhouse, he finds a gun pointing at him and the owner a sexy red head. Their first meeting could have been done better, at first Sawyer is not impressed with Jill, the last thing he wants is to enter any sort of relationship with a woman that is willing to fire a gun at anyone. Jill takes things as they come, when she gets a opportunity to come back to the ranch to help out, she learns that that she is the heir to Fiddle Creek ranch, and before Sawyer and Jill realize it, they are put in the middle of a fierce feud, and they join forces to remain neutral from these families who only want the coveted land. But soon Sawyer and Jill soon learn that you can't resist attraction, and these two have it by the extreme. From their first kiss...they know it would be trouble to get involved. But neither can they resist, especially when they have to work together to come out on top of the feuding families crazy schemes.

What a romp of a cowboy romance this one was...so wasn't expecting to like it so much and I love it when Contemporaries really surprise me. I sometimes have a hard time reading them, I personally seem to connect more with paranormals and Historical romances....so its always such a joy to find a story that turns me upside down in delight and giggles and balls of laughs. Now this story with the focus being the feud, reminding me Joan Johnston's feud series (which if you like that aspect, I would also highly recommend_. This is a theme you don't see in romances as much anymore...which is a tad sad since I really enjoy the theme...I think it adds a certain element that can engage the reader in ways that other romantic themes don't.

These feuding families sure do get creative and super crazy...I mean do these things actually happen in the real world? I have no idea, I have never known anyone involved in a feuding scenario, but this author surely brought this story to life...and what competition there is. So bizarre at times, the things they will do in order to get a piece of land...I mean seriously. But I have to say this was a hoot of fun, and I just couldn't get enough of this story. The vivid detail and descriptions are amazing, and you can tell that Carolyn Brown knows the western life and all aspects related to it and its displayed quite obviously in the story, but not too obvious, she seems to blend it in well with the plot and other various aspects of the book, and it all goes together in a way that will really have you turning those pages.

This pair was quite fun, and they had quite some sizzling connection here. I actually adored these two together, and even though in some way they are complete opposites..you see that in the ways that matter they compliment each other so well and their relationship is a bit unique and they tend to do things a bit backwards than the normal average relations. However I found this way very stimulating, and what I truly loved about this story was how overall it was sexy yet tender and charming...a story to keep you aching for more!! STUNNING!!

Hungry Like The Wolf is the first book in Paige Tyler's newest series "SWAT" which just means we have a pack of a SWAT team, who are sexy shifter wolves and fight totally badass and are sexy hot!! I mean can you resist that combination? I certainly couldn't. When I was asked to do a honest review and spotlight post I was so excited to start this one. I have seen other books by this author, of course, but I haven't ever picked her up. And I just love this combination...good type cops, but are also part of a werewolf pack, and quite frankly shifters are my weakness. probably one of my favorite sub genres to read in the paranormal romance genre. They just do something for me, and I adore animals so I loved what Tyler's does with this series. Now this is the first book, so the hero, is the pack's leader and alpha, Gage Dixon. Gage will do anything to protect his pack and the men he has fought to protect and who are his family, and no woman will change his mind on that matter but he underestimated the power of the "One". Among wolf lore, every werewolf has a mate that is the one for him in every way, and Mackenzie could be the one but she is dangerous. Mackenzie is a journalist, and she has dedicated her life to the truth and sharing that truth. She suspects that Gage and his team are hiding something, and she means to find out what it is. But what she doesn't expec6t is to fall in love, or to discover a secret that could destroy the one man that has ever truly loved her....will she make the right choice?

Hungry Like The Wolf was such a amazing read and after reading this author, I definitely HAVE to try her out again. I definitely love all the various aspects of the plot that seemed to blend together in a way that leaves a compelling story. This story was quite a romance and I couldn't help but just love it from the beginning. These two have quite the chemistry, and it builds up, they take some time working out this little courting dance they have going on here, and both of them tend to lean toward denying what they feel due to their suspicions of each other. They each have strong personalities and are so stubborn, yet they have a powerful bond to each other, and we really see that come into play from the beginning of the story. It was also quite fun to see the other members of the pack and the different ways they contributed to it as a whole.

This story was exciting, full of mystery and anticipation, a steamy romance, and quite a powerful love story that thrilled me from head to toe. I just can't wait for the next book in the series. This was stunning and full of thrills and a paranormal mixture, of fun sexy wolves, sensual romancfe and adventure!! INTOXICATING!!

Silence, after losing her husband was at her wits end, until Mikey O'Connor left at her doorstep a little girl, who Silence considered her own, until Mickey enters her life again, and takes Mary from her, so when she goes to confront him, she finds out that Mary is in danger from Mickey's enemies, and the only way to make sure Mary is safe and protected is to stay with her father, Mickey O Connor, and even though he isn't to be trusted, she knows that she has no choice. However what Silence never anticipated was to fall in love with the king river pirate himself, and that theirs is a love and a passion that sneaks up on them.....Scandalous Desires is the third installment in this series, I did read the first book but I didn't read the second, so I was glad that when I read this one, that I wasn't totally lost or anything. It did help to read the first book though, and I was thrilled to get my hands on Silence's book...I just fell in love with this character in the previous book, but I never thought she would be paired with Mickey, who is the kind of hero you wonder how could this romance ever work out.....but luckily it did and in the most surprising way...with twists and turns in the plot that will leave you feeling pleased. I really loved getting to know these characters alot more....especially Mickey, and digging a little bit deeper into his past, and I also loved the romance in this story...it was a bit different but this story was full of mystery, adventure and witty interaction that will leave you wanting for more and more....just LOVED it!!!

If The Viscount Falls is the final installment in the Duke's Men series, and what a lovely story this turned out to be. For as long as I have read romances, Jefrries has been my go to author, no matter what. Well after reading this book, I do think it just might be my favorite book of the series. This is Dom's story, and long awaited one for me. From the beginning of the series, I have just loved Dom, he has gone through quite a bit, and deserved his own happy ending.

The story sets off with Dom and Jane who once was engaged, but when Dom lost everything, and he knew the next years in his life would be hard, he couldn't put Jane through that, so he hatched a plan that would make her believe the worst of him. For years he has regretted that choice, but knowing she would be better off not dealing with being poor as church mice, but now Jane has entered his life again, and the love he once had for her has come brighter than ever only Jane is engaged to another man and wants nothing to do with him. When Jane's cousin ends up missing, she enlists Dom to help her find her, since her cousin is also his sister in law. As they begin their search, clues pop up that cause even more mystery than before, and they along with other members of the Duke's Men group, will search for the truth, and Jane and Dom's love is rekindled, but will past mistakes hurt their future and be the healing balm they need...

What a wonderful and truly emotional story this one was. I will say that the emotional tone to the story, really surprised me, I didn't expect this story to be so poignant for me, but it really was. I found that this story was phenomenal in every way. I really have little complaint about it, I just felt so engaged from the first few pages. and Jeffries does a wonderful job in creating a story to charm and delight any reader. I don't know why I was so surprised, since Jeffries is the author, but a couple of the other books in the series, didn't excite me like this one did. There was such a lyrical note to the story, the way it all flowed together, and the plot just fit with the depth of the characterizations and the story tended to have a light dramatic flair that added a bit more substance. This set of characters keep you engaged and fully entertained. A tale of intrigue, passion and love!! Not one to be missed out on. A PASSIONATE ROMANCE!!!

Lady Clarissa, fell in love with a man that she met in secret, and she knows she will marry him. But then he betrays her and marries another woman, and she is pregnant, and when she turns to a family friend, Lord Donovan Blackmer, for comfort, they end up compromised and they are forced to marry. Donovan works as a spy for the crown, and for the past few years has kept his profile low and protected Clarissa's grandfather. But when he is offered a prestigious position that is a dream come true for him, he ends up compromising Clarissa and ends up married which is the last thing he ever wanted. In the beginning he is bitter and almost cruel, but he sees Clarissa as a kind and passionate woman who deserves more. So he tries to make the best of the situation, and a desire ignites, passions inflame, and a sweet love erupts, but there is a danger from his past, one that haunts him and could tear Clarrissa from his life forever...

I just love Lily Dalton, her historical's are amazing and every time I get the chance to read her I am always astounded by her storytelling abilities, they always blow my mind. Never Surrender To a Scoundrel is no different for me. Sometimes regency romances will set me back in my enjoyment of romance novels, but Dalton knows how to write a good one, and this story revitalizes the passion of the time. What we have here is two people that are put in a poor choice and even though completely innocent, they are forced together. Donovoan is very bitter, his dreams are faltering, and will have to settle for marriage to the lovely Clarissa. We see how at first he blames her for everything going wrong, and takes her up north to his family's estate, but it doesn't take long for him to soften toward her and the real love story really blossoms. Clarissa is headstrong and tends to go toward a situation with no thought process...just full speed ahead. I respected that aspect of her character, but I also felt like she could use a bit more backbone in certain situations...but she does hold her own with Dalton. He is not a easy man to be married to, and Clarissa really handles him quite well and boy do they have sparks that just fly everywhere. I loved their connection and the intrigue and suspense that is placed uniquely in the plot really adds a certain element to the story that adds more depth to the story. You also see various twists and tumbles in the plot that will surprise you and maybe shock you, but you will fall in love immediately. This is a story not to be missed out, a winner in every way!! ENGROSSING ON EVERY PAGE!!

As much as I want to say that loved this story, I am unable to recommend this one. I honestly don’t know if it’s me, but I have the most difficult time with the author. I find that her voice in the story just never seems to catch me in any way. I have tried Theresa Romain out in the past, and never had much success with her stories, which is sad for me, since the blurbs sounds amazing, but I think I just am unable to connect with her stories. It is pretty sad, especially when you find a book you want to enjoy but just can’t. It tends to be very frustrating. I went into this story knowing that I could only give it 50 pages or so. That is my new rule now, because I know if I am going to enjoy a book or be able to get into it once I reach that 50 page mark. I felt like the story had potential, but I just couldn’t see the connection between the characters or able to enjoy the set up very well. I actually gave myself a few days with this story, and just couldn’t get into it and I didn’t want to have to force myself to try to enjoy reading this one, there was no enjoyment for me for this one. I am not sure if I will try this author out again, which is regrettable since I know how many others just love her books. Maybe one day I can try her out again and find a story to love and enjoy. Heartbreaking!

I Received a ARC copy in exchange for a honest review.

Melissa Overton is a Special Forces agent for the JAG, and her partner is Huntley Anderson, both are trained and jaguar shifters. They are on a dangerous mission, hunting a man that has been setting traps for jaguars and selling those he captures. Melissa and Huntley are determined to bring this man to justice for his wrongs. But as they hunt him, they enter into a dangerous situation and they find two shifter jaguar cubs and their parents have been captured. Their mission now is to keep the cubs safe at all costs, while everyone is searching for the missing parents. Having them as shifters, changes things dramatically, and as Melissa and Huntley are working together, a desire they didn’t expect rises between them and passions collide, and soon they find themselves in danger of losing their hearts…

This was such a fun and fascinating paranormal romance that had me on edge from beginning to end. I have come to really respect Terry Spear, and this shifter series has really had me all tied up in knots (but in all the right places. This series is very unique, she normally does wolf shifters but this Jaguar Shifter series is pretty exciting and thrilling and I was so lucky to get a change to get a chance to read this one. Terry Spear is always on my auto buy list, it doesn’t matter what the book is, and I will read it no matter what. When I started this story, I knew from the first chapter it would be a story I wouldn’t ever forget, and I was so right. This story had everything I adore in a paranormal romance and more!

The story begins with this partnership, and at the beginning of the story there is nothing romantic involved, and both of them are in relationships. But then they end up being single again, and are sent out on a mission, and a mission where they would come back forever changed. Their mission involves some charming cubs, and oh were they so adorable, but could get into trouble fast. They seem to bond to Huntley who isn’t exactly in his element where they are concerned, so it was quite funny to see them interact with each other. Now Melissa takes everything in stride, I loved her confidence and ease of handling dangerous situations, and she is a bit of a dare devil. She takes risks and isn’t afraid to, but Huntley keeps her grounded and keeps her from getting into trouble too quickly. They were quite the pair and you sense that they have always had a strong connection, and once they become single….watch out or the heat may burn ya!

Overall a sexy twist of endearing characters, dangerous circumstances, a blend of humor and suspense to really get you going, and a love story you don’t want to miss out on. A SENSUAL GEM OF A ROMANCE!!

Reign Housely, is a man of charm and wealth, and he enjoys the pleasures of London, but there is a scandal attached to his name. Reign once fell in love with his first wife, who broke his heart, betrayed him, and was killed in a accident, but the Ton believes him to be involved somehow. Lady Sophia, is beautiful, and has finally been able to make it to London, despite the protests from her brothers. Sophia suffered from a accident as a child, when her parents were killed, and has suffered from partial blindness, and blurred vision. While at a ballroom, she meets Reign, who treats her differently than others with her certain struggles. He treats her as a real human being, and shows her kindness and desire. But when they are involved in a scandal ,they marry, but Reign may be the key to saving Sophia from a horrible fate.
Till Dawn With The Devil is a wildly entertaining read that sucked me into the story from the first page. Not many authors can pull me in like Alexandra Hawkins. This is a newer author for me, and when I read the first book in the series a few months ago, I fell in love with her writing. Her style is very compelling and endearing, and you can’t help but admire the sizzling chemistry she implements in her stories.
In Till Dawn With The Devil, the second book of Lords Of Vice, we have Reign’s story. This story encompasses a variety of issues. In the beginning of the story, we see how strong our heroine is. She is beautiful and passionate, and stubborn, she is determined to make her own way and fight her battles. She isn’t afraid of what others think of her, especially Reign. Reign is addicted to Sophia, he can’t resist her, and for the first time since his first wife’s betrayal, he feels desire and can’t stay away from her. I loved how these two came together, and their story was sweet and romantic, and such a lovely story of true love and how one night of desire and passion can change your life forever.
I found that Till Dawn With The Devil a stunning romance set in the regency period, a time of balls and parties, of scandal and formal parties, of a love found in a ballroom…a tale of intrigue and mystery, a romance that is sexy and smart….EXCEPTIONAL!!!
