Lady Emilia has always been a devoted daughter despite the horrible abuse her father dishes out to her on a regular basis especially ever since her mother passed away. But when she learns that her father has been behind a traitorous plot against the king and England, being found out by her father and whipped---she heads to the only place she knows of safety, The home of the Highland Knights and there is one knight in particular that she wants to see more than anyone, Colin Stirling. Colin suffers from the torments of war, having been tortured by the French for information, he still feels the demons both day and night. But even though he feels tormented, he also can't deny his instinct to protect Emilia and take care of her. When she pleads with Colin for his help specifically, he can't deny her. Colin and Emilia go into hiding, forced on the run, hiding from her father and trying to get the truth from Emilia so justice can be brought against her father and the men conspiring with him. But will Emilia and Colin's love be enough against the evil machinations of her father?
Highland Temptation just might be my favorite one of the series, the romance was so sweet and compelling and quite a tear jerker with the poingnant moments this pair evokes in the reader. Jennifer Haymore does write some of the most stunning love stories, and Highland Temptation is one of her best books!! It sets off with out heroine, just having been severely whipped by her father and coming to the Highland Knights for help. At first she isn't quite ready, to reveal everything she knows about her father. This is what I loved about her character, is her loyalty to family. Even though her father has been abusive both physically and emotionally, she doesn't want him to die a traitors death either. But we do see how she comes to terms with it and does the right thing. Our hero is suffering from a severe form of PTSD from his time of being tortured. What is most remarkable is how Emilia handles the situation when the past haunts him. She fights for him and doesn't back down in aiding him when he needs it. This pair were so remarkable together, because even though it seems like their relationship is rushed...it doesn't feel that way at all. I loved seeing the way the story flowed together and the workings of the plot that add some mystery, adventure and suspense.
Oh how I love it....my favorite of the series so far. I really like the purple.
Highland Temptation is a roller coaster ride of emotion, love and adventure! A love story you can immerse yourself in. A HEARTWARMING ROMANCE!!

You have wound your way into my life, into my soul. You are so deep inside me, I could never let you go. You are a part of me. You are everything to me.

Prince Nikolai is finding politics and social circumstances boring and dull. He is wanting for something more than what he has. When he receives word that his grandmother has been kidnapped he goes straight to the estate she had been staying at up in the Scotland mountains. Where he meets the unique and strong willed Lyssa. Lyssa has five sisters that enjoyed their own seasons, met their husbands, fell in love and have plenty of babies. But Lyssa, knows that life will never be for her. She knows she is plain to look at, and she is content to hide away at her fathers estate and take care of the those depending on her. Its a very practical and satisfactory life. But from the moment that she meets Prince Nikolai, she wants something more, a life with passion. As Nikolai and Lyssa journey together with their small group in an attempt to rescue his grandmother, they will discover treachery, mystery, danger and above all a love to fight for!
Mad For The Plaid is the final full novel of the Oxenburg Princes series and boy what a blast I have had with this book!! I tell ya, I always forget the fun banter that this author creates and BOOM ---I get swept back up into one of her romantic tales that sweep me off my feet. This is Nikolai's story, and I have been excited to read his story ever since we stumbled upon these delectable princes. Nikolai has a different course set for him, as he is the crown prince...his life has been a hard one. Even though he has had his family, it hasn't been easy not being able to play or have fun like his brothers have had. So Nikolai has a more serious toned personality than the others have. But Lyssa brings out the playful side of him out. At first, the argue ALOT....sometimes over the silliest things. And their bantering was so fun, I honestly couldn't get enough of it. They have some great chemistry but don't know exactly how to explore it quite yet and they learn as they go along. This story did turn into a more "forbidden love" theme which I wasn't fully expecting. For Nikolai, even when he realizes how much he truly loves Lyssa, he doesn't want his life for her. He doesn't want it to change her in any way. But Lyssa is strong and has a temper even if she has a more sweet toned nature, she stands her ground. And the grandmother really helps these two out. Now we don't see much of her until the end of the book, so there is more focus on the actual romance that develops between Nikolai and Lyssa. Such a wonderful conclusion to a fabulous series, I hope it the final novella we get more of these four brothers and their wives!!!
Sweet and charming!! I love how romantic it feels....it gives off such a happy and cheerful tone!!!
Mad For The Plaid is a romance you can get behind and will give you the feels! Its a love story that delights, charms, and enchants!!!

In Echo Of Silence we have a psy romance. Tazia Neref has found her passion in working at a deep sea station working with a psy Stefan. Tazia and Stefan have a wonderful built up romance. At first there is some mystery between them. Tazia is struggling with the past and her estrangement from her family. Stefan, although a Psy, is closer to emotion than most of his kind. Stefan suffered from a traumatic childhood. I really liked how well Stefan understood Tazia from the beginning. He is drawn to her. Their relationship really develops more when they work together on a project in helping a village that is being torn apart by a earthquake. What was most interesting was seeing these two work so well together. They have some powerful chemistry but what I loved most was seeing what Stefan does for Tazia toward the end. Quite a tear jerker in some moments. I love seeing a couple like these two fit so well for each other.
In Dorian we get to see more of this psy changeling couple. We see Dorian from the beginning, when he is little and dealing with not being able to shift. And how hard it was for him and the ways he had to make up for it as part of the pack. We see his relationship with Vaughn, Mercy and Lucas. I loved seeing more depth to him and Shaya. And then reveal of seeing him being able to shift for the first time and running with his pack in ways he has always dreamed of most of his life. Dorian is one of my favorite characters, and man I needed plenty of tissues when he reveals the truth to Lucas and other members of his pack. We see more emotional depth to the pack, and how closely tied they are to each other. They live in each others joys and sorrows and man those happy moments were quite heart warming.
In partners In Persuasion we get a unique relationship (that is my favorite to see which is rarely done in this series) seeing a dominant and submissive pairing. However unlike "Declaration Of Courtship", the dominant of the pair is our heroine and the submissive is our hero. This adds something very unique and different. Of course, we have seen hints of couples through the series with these pairing, but not as a main story. Felix, is a submissive and content with his role in the pack. He has been burned by having a relationship with a dominant before (who was very cruel to him). He doesn't know if he can do it again, when Dezi comes flirting with him. Dezi, may be a dominant female, and she has always had dominant partners, and has never found a man she can be truly happy with until she meets Felix. A man who is loyal, reliable and gentle. Like with these type of pairing, they come across some difficulties, but they work through it and build a slow trust with each other. Truly a heartwarming and sweet romance that I couldn't get enough. and my favorite of this anthology.
In Flirtation Of Fate we have a story of a second chance romance between Kenji and Ganget. Kenji and Ganget fell in love when they were younger but right when their relationship was turning into a mating dance. Kenji learned a painful truth about himself and he pushed Ganget away. Now its been years, and both are still single. When a murder of one of their own happens, they are forced to work together to get to the bottom of this murder mystery. Boy these two were so fun!! Ganget was awesome, she doesn't tolerate crap from anyone and Kenji really hurt her in the past. But when she spends more time with him, and realizes that not every was as it seemed...she is going to find out the truth and give him hell for it!! And boy does she...I love seeing these two find their way back to each other and exonerate a innocent man.
This was such a wonderful anthology, and I loved seeing these side characters have their own stories or seeing a personal favorite and having some more depth to his story!!! Well written and a compelling group of mini stories that I found endearing, unique and memorable!

Innes Munroe, is "gifted" ever since she was a girl, and touched a family stone and she can feel and hear others thoughts and feelings when touching them. Only a couple of people in the world know of her gifts, because she knows if the truth were to ever come out she would be branded a "witch". When her sister gets married, she travels for the wedding. She runs into a man that she can't resist....Conall Sinclair. A war hero who has his own scars. Conall is the Earl of Caithness and he is content with his "wolf pup" and his solitude. But he can't seem to get the beautiful Innes out of his mind. She is a mystery to him, one that he wants to unravel more than anything. But he soon learns that she will be the one woman to heal the wounds of the past and give him hope once again...
Taming The Highlander, is the second book in the latest series by May McGoldrick. Now its been a while since I have picked this author up, but I have such fond memories of this author, since she was one of the first romance authors I fell in love with and she was the first author I read with highlanders and I just can't get enough of those kilted men now. I had heard quite a few good things about this series, so I knew I had to get it and was granted a ARC copy and so thrilled for the opportunity. Now just opening this book up with the first few chapters reminded me why I fell in love with this author in the first place. She knows how to write highland romances, and I love the mythical tones to this story. The romance between these two is what really got to me here. I just loved seeing them together and seeing the way they slowly fall in love. Its more of a slow and steady romance. I loved the Wolf...he was so cute. He is still a puppy but still tame and he just takes to Innes immediately. He added some fun to the story. There is a more serious tone to the plot though. Innes is living a secret and Conall is a bit of a recluse. We have a bit of matchmaking by Conall's brother and Innes sister acting like their marriage is falling apart---when there are obvious hints that its not true with them sneaking into each others bedrooms at night hehe Then we have a mysterious death that gets solved which surprised me on the real truth behind it. We also see how this series connects with seeing the couple from the first book becoming involved in this one. There is such a sweet and poignant feel to this story with some rich undertones of history and culture that doesn't overshadow the romance!!
Meh!!! This one could have been done better...not a fan of the colors used.
Taming The Highlander is a vibrant romance set in the highlands with mystery, mystical tones and a love story to make you sigh with a smile on your face. BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED!!

In Sustained, our story begins with our hero who is a defense attorney. Now Jake Becker is one of the best at what he does. But soon he meets a woman and her six nieces and nephews that she has recently become guardian for. Jake lives a uncomplicated life and he likes it that way until he stumbles upon this diverse family and the young woman that he can't keep away from for too long. AT first its the little things that draws him to Chelsea, he admires her courage and strength. Chelsea had to put her life on hold with her brother and his wife were killed and left six children without any parents. It hasn't been an easy adjustment, especially with the ages of the kids so spread about and each child very unique. She doesn't have time for a social life and never thought she would have time for a man until Jake walks into her life.
I will say this about Sustained....the best of the series here!!! Man it was so good and definitely lives up to the hype I kept hearing before picking it up. I did have issues with the first book and third book. So it was so fun to read Sustained and love everything about this story. It was definitely different and I LOVED that. The story we have here is so unique and special and the moment I picked it up, I just couldn't put it down. It had charm, its own style of romance and the children were such a nice touch. Emma Chase did a brilliant job with integrating these six children and their "antics" without taking anything away from the actual romance. What I enjoyed the most about the romance, is how well Jake and Chelsea just fit so well with each other. Their story wasn't angst at all which was a relief since I just wasn't in the mood. It was sweet, fun and silly at times and thoroughly satisfying. And even though there was a bit of drama, it was real life type of drama, the kind that you can easily relate to. It wasn't over done at all and I found that very impressive.

Witchful Thinking, although not my favorite of the series, was quite a wonderful addition to the series and added something very unique to the series. Our heroine of the series is forced to face a new challenge that will turn her life upside down as well as her love affair with Rand and Sinjin. Jolie Wilkins life has changed dramatically, she has now become the queen of the underworld. She has a new magical gift that is flaring to life, and Jolie has to learn how to adjust to her new change in circumstances and learn the meaning of diplomacy. At the same time she is keeping a dreadful secret from Rand, and trying to determine which man her heart truly lies with.
I normally don't go for the love triangles in books, but I quite liked the way H.P Mallory put this triangle in this book and the series really. Now Sinjin is a unique character, he is charming and witty and you just want to smile whenever he is around. But Rand, now he is my favorite. He is brooding and reliable and even though he is a bit too serious at times but I really liked how he handles Jolie in this one. She does test his patient and even though I didn't approve of everything she did in this book, she acted on emotion which I could easily relate with. We see how much she grows as a character and in the end, she makes the right choice and in ways that are spunky and fun!!!

Abigail Forsythe has had a rough road of late. After spending quite a long time taking care of her mother dying of cancer, Abigail must now figure out her life again and see what she needs to do to get things in order. She once wanted to work in medicine but doesn't know which way to go in life still reeling from her mothers death. But she comes to visit her friend and when he invites her on a job with him to South America, but Abigail is thrown in the fire when she finds out that the cargo on the plane they are on, is a man imprisoned. So when she rescues him, they escape the plane they make their way across the beaches and when Abigail becomes sick and almost dies from a disease she caught, Tomosso knowing that she is his lifemate, has no choice but to turn her. Abigail now has to face a new set of adventures and circumstances and working with Tomasso to find the men that kidnapped him. But Abigail is a force of nature and doesn't know it when she is tested in ways that could keep her from Tomasso for good.
Immortal Nights, the latest release in the Argeneau series was delightful, funny but very silly at times. Out of all the books I have read from this author, this one was the most unrealistic of them all. I really liked the plot and the characters were fun and we do get to see more of Tomasso's brother and his lifemate Mary and more fun times with Lucien. Oh that man, he is so hilarious especially when he is trying to be so stern and doesn't get away with it. I love seeing him in later books and the way his lifemate and other women in his family work him. Quite entertaining. Now the actual romance between Tomasso and Abigail was lighthearted but felt a bit too fluffy for me. I wasn't able to quite feel it like I normally do until the very end which was a bit disappointing since I was expecting quite a bit from this book. Their relationship felt a bit too rushed, most of the story line felt too rushed in my opinion. I did like the sense of danger and adventure that is added in here with a unique setting too. That was definitely the highlight of the story for me, was seeing these characters in a place this author hasn't done before. And the villains even though they aren't good people didn't feel so "bad" more like just they had a "dumb" type of mentality but not the sort of villain you would be at the edge of your seat reading though. So even though I liked this book and would recommend it to fans of this series, its not a story I would necessarily put on my shelves.
LOVE it!!! Avon did such a good job with this cover, and I love the whole sexy man in the water scene here!! I wouldn't mind keeping him :p
Immortal Nights although a bit silly and has too much fluff in the plot at times....was a fun and entertaining story with a bit of adventure and sensuality to curl your toes!!!

Immortal Nights, the latest release in the Argeneau series was delightful, funny but very silly at times. Out of all the books I have read from this author, this one was the most unrealistic of them all. I really liked the plot and the characters were fun and we do get to see more of Tomasso's brother and his lifemate Mary and more fun times with Lucien. Oh that man, he is so hilarious especially when he is trying to be so stern and doesn't get away with it. I love seeing him in later books and the way his lifemate and other women in his family work him. Quite entertaining. Now the actual romance between Tomasso and Abigail was lighthearted but felt a bit too fluffy for me. I wasn't able to quite feel it like I normally do until the very end which was a bit disappointing since I was expecting quite a bit from this book. Their relationship felt a bit too rushed, most of the story line felt too rushed in my opinion. I did like the sense of danger and adventure that is added in here with a unique setting too. That was definitely the highlight of the story for me, was seeing these characters in a place this author hasn't done before. And the villains even though they aren't good people didn't feel so "bad" more like just they had a "dumb" type of mentality but not the sort of villain you would be at the edge of your seat reading though. So even though I liked this book and would recommend it to fans of this series, its not a story I would necessarily put on my shelves.
The Cover
LOVE it!!! Avon did such a good job with this cover, and I love the whole sexy man in the water scene here!! I wouldn't mind keeping him :p

Immortal Nights although a bit silly and has too much fluff in the plot at times....was a fun and entertaining story with a bit of adventure and sensuality to curl your toes!!!

Graham MacTavis has crossed the wrong person and bedded the wrong two women. Graham was caught in the bed of a rival laird's wife and mistress and the Laird is outraged which is understandable. So as his punishment, Graham must go to the future, aid his laird's wife's sister, make her fall in love with him and marry her and keep her happy. Not an easy task especially when it comes to stubborn and willful Lilia Sinclair. Lilia is content with her life, except for the fact that her closest friend and a woman she considers to be family, is dying and there is nothing that she can do to stop it. Lilia's gift is to have prophetic visions and normally they aren't "good" news and she has to bear this burden all on her own except for her two friends who don't necesarily believe her but support her as friends do. Graham and Lilia will learn to trust each other and fight for each other no matter what time they are in...
My my....what a story, now I will say that I was a bit nervous about reading this one. Mostly because even though I enjoyed the previous installments, I really struggled with staying involved in the story and lost a bit of interest in those romances. However My Seductive Highlander was a whopper of a read and I had such a blast reading this one, and boy did it get to my bare emotions so easily. It has been a while since a book has been able to brings tears to my eyes but this one did it and in moments that I least expected it to happen. I do love a time travel romance and man this author knows how to write a good one. Now what I loved about the way she wrote this one, was not seeing the whole "the couple falls in love and are seperated from each other" nope....that did not happen. And this might be the first time in reading a time travel romance that I was fully satisfied with how the plot developed and didn't feel any dissatisfaction over what I was reading. It was a story that you can easily relax into and not worry. The romance was sweet and slow moving, there wasn't much rush to it and I liked how easily these two fell in love and didn't fight too hard. The humorous tone of the story was simply to die for!!! Man I laughed so hard just in how our hero reacts to riding in a car or flushing the toilet??? hehehe yeah those were priceless moments.
SIMPLY elegant and classy yet sensual and sexy!!! It also has a quiet strength to it that I love.
My Seductive Highlander is a romantic romp that will shed a few tears and bring out bursts of laughter from your lips!!! SEXY AND FUN

Quite a few years ago, Isabelle found herself infatuated with a young man and lost her innocence and in the process fell in disgrace and scandal and was shunned by her own family. Isabelle has had to raise her son, Jack all by herself, living in a small cottage with a friend and keeping away from the village and raising her son and protecting him. George Upperton has found himself spiraling out of order with gambling, debts and above all women. He has a family that meddles in his life but when they coerce him into attending a country house party he discovers a beautiful woman whom he is drawn to but he knows he is no good for. Isabelle is protective of her son and doesn’t trust herself with George but she has been alone for quite some time and the bond she feels to him is hard to ignore...but will their past forge a bond so strong nothing will stand in their way...
George Upperton is more than your typical rake and on the surface he seems to only care about his gambling, drinking and the latest mistress he has. At the beginning we see what is on the surface, but as the story progresses you see that he has a greater purpose in gambling, a purpse that you admire and respect. Even though George isn’t a perfect “hero” as he is very flawed we see realism in his character and the way he seems to care for Isabelle and Jack is priceless. You quickly see the deep goodness that is deeply rooted that has been overshadowed by a father that attempted to bury his true passions and talents. I think what I loved most about his character was his dedication to those he loved the most in the little ways that matter.
Isabelle Mears, is a young woman who trusted the wrong person and ended up paying for it in the worst way. She has had to bury herself in the country, barely surviving and trying to keep herself and her son alfoat the best she can. She is quite protective of her son. Isabelle fights the attraction she has toward George, because she knows he is “trouble” and the type of trouble she doesn’t need. But Isabelle is fighting a losing battle. This heroine was quite fun to watch.....there were times I felt she was a bit overstrong in her protectiveness over her son Jack, especially in the ways that George and Jack are with each other. Having said that, Isabelle is a heroine that is strong, courageous and a survivor. She has a spine of steel and you see her strength and her resilience
When I saw this ebook available through my library, I knew I needed to snatch it up....a book available from Macnamara I hadn’t read yet especially with that cover??? *gasp* No way!!!! So from the first moment I picked this book up I was drawn into it. The story sets up in a way that at first you don’t care too much for the hero. We see only the surface of his character but very quickly you instantly change your mind about his character and this is where things really pick p in the story. What really drew me into the story was the chemistry between George and Isabelle. I had forgotten how well this author can write sexual tension and she wrote it so well in this story. We see how she develops the romance which isn’t rushed. It slow and steady but not quite in the ways that you would expect it. Which is quite interesting to see how the story unraveled and gave you those little surprises and delights you don’t quite expect to see. We also get a bit of added mystery and suspense in the middle of the story that adds some thrills that keep the story exciting and brings about a pivotal change in their relationship. We also get some fun bantering moments that we see happen between George and his family that only makes you want to see them around each other more. Quite a delightful read.
Hot and Sexy....and I love the glutes...those pants are just right!!!! What can I say, I have a weakness for a man's booty!!!
A Most Devilish Rogue is stimulating, emotional and a roller coaster of a ride that takes you through ups and downs of love and sensuality!!!
