Kathy McKenna was positive that her new home would be safe from vampires and werwolves. A war between the two has broken out, and even though both sides are trying for a peaceful resolution, Kathy is determined to find a safe haven and thought that Oak Hollow would be just right. It is said that Oak Hollow is one of the few safe places from the violence that is erupting all over the world and Kathy is human and can’t defend herself against such creatures. She sets up a local bookshop, in this small town. But one day, a handsome stranger walks into her shop, Raphael Cordova, who has power and prestige and is a leader. Raphael and Kathy begin a shaky romance, where their relationship is packed with hurdles. There are strings of kills happening around the town, and Kathy feels more unsafe than she did when she lived in the city. But there is a foul plan, innocent people being killed, and Kathy and Raphael will be stuck in the middle and will need to fight a enemy none of them expect....
Raphael Cordova was born a vampire, which is quite rare along with his twin brother. His father is a vampire and his mother a human and later turned. He has always struggled with being a vampire, but eventually learned to accept who he is and the only downer is the loss of his brother leaving them and vanishing. Raphael is close to his family but still feels a aching lonliness. Raphael was quite a sexy hero and I loved his magnetism and strength and how he works his way around Kathy and her ‘stubborn’ nature.
Kathy McKenna, is a heroine that wanted to escape the big city especially with the violence of the vampires and shifters that broke out and seeks a peaceful haven out to a small town with her books. Kathy is a heroine full of strength and courage and stands her ground. I just loved her spunk, and I love how spirited she is even when she is faced with the worst. She is quite resilient and even though she can’t see herself becoming a vampire at all...she is very accepting of Raphael and the life he leads.
Night’s Master is the third book in the series and what a BOOK!!! I truly adored this story so much. Amanda Ashley is becoming a new favorite of mine especially with her vampire romances!!! They are so wonderful and mysterious and compelling. It has been a while since I have been so pulled in by a PNR author. And they are bit spooky enough to put the chills down the spine that I have found to be missing lately. I love a good spooky read, and if you love them too...Amanda Ashley is a author you NEED to try out. I haven’t picked up this series out yet, and I like the whole “war between the two paranormal creatures” and seeing them work toward a peace and getting to the bottom of the problems and seeing a solution together. The romance between Kathy and Raphael is sensual and mysterious and thrilling. It’s a story that I couldn’t put down. What I liked was seeing the strong family ties Raphael has with his family, and I became so intrigued with his lost twin brother (whose story is next), and I liked the mix of paranormal elements that create a beautiful and sexy paranormal romance to curl your toes and make you eager to read more from this talented author!!!
I like the blue background with the faces....but other than that its a bit typical for a pnr cover.
Night's Master is written by a brilliant storyteller that will take your breath away, give you a romance to send shivers down the spine and deliver a masterful story!!!

Hugh The Relentless is on the hunt for a precious green jewel, to give his people peace from a curse that has fallen upon them. He isn't known as the "relentless" for nothing. His search has brought him to Lingwood Manor and he has taken over like a storm over the sea. And he is determined to get the jewel, only one problem....Lady Alice is the only person who knows of its location. They barter and flirt their way into a marriage agreement, one that is very logical and even though Alice has always being a practical woman, she still wants more than just a practical marriage, she wants one out of love and affection. As they begin a search together for the precious jewel and learn each other along their journey....the find a love neither thought that they would discover and be able to hold onto....
Hugh is a man that has had to learn to fight every battle all on his own. His parents were killed in a brutal way, and he was raised by his grandfather. He has a bitter enemy....who his is own relation, but he vows to show what he is capable of and rebuilding his own estate and people to its former glory. Hugh is a hero who is a sexy knight for sure....a warrior, very alpha but isn't the type of alpha that runs over the females in his life with his own dictates. He listens, and is respectful and even at his worst, he treats them as his equals and I loved him even more for that. Especially with the time period you are dealing with here. His character was sexy and charming and you crave more.
The Heroine
Alice is one of those heroines that is so unique to this time period and I loved her to pieces, she was very endearing and likable. I found her character to be one of those that you wish you saw more of in this genre. She is practical and logical, but even though she looks at life at a very straight view, she also doesn't overlook emotion either. She craves more than what her parents had, she wants love when she gets married. Alice is a scientist, and at first she sees this "betrothal" as an opportunity to be Hugh's equal, and she handles him quite well. Especially after they spend some time together, it quite wonderful to see how well she adapts to his personality and knows which battles to fight and which ones to let go. Not too often you see that in a heroine in the HR fiction.
I had been meaning to get to this author, and even though I have read some of her books under her Jayne Ann Krentz name, I had yet to read any of her books under this pen name. And so while scouting my new library...I found Mystique and I was intrigue by the set up of the story. So I grabbed it up, and quite honestly I can never get enough of this time period. What I found to be so fun about this story was seeing the way that these two got along so quickly. They are both pretty compatible, they think in the same terms and even though they might have a few different goals, they balance each other quite well. In fact, it is so rare to see a couple work so well together from the beginning. Now that doesn't mean they don't have a few hurdles to cross because they do, especially on Hugh's side. However despite some stops they don't give up on each other and I found that to be so heartwarming.
I really love the simplicity of this cover....and yes the Chest of Jewels has meaning to the story.
Mystique was fun, intriguing and full of some thrilling adventures and sensuality that will have you grabbing more of Amanda Quick!

Nicholas Pembrook, the Crown Prince of Wessco, keeps himself under wraps where the press and public are concerned, but he is nothing like the prince he portrays to the world. He is charismatic, sensual and seeks diverting pleasures. He has learned since he was a boy, to hide himself from his grandmother The Queen and the rest of the world. The Queen sends him on a mission to the states, where he meets a beautiful waitress who throws a pie in his face. But Nicholas is charmed by her and pursues her. Olivia is the caretaker of her teenage sister and her father who has never recovered from her mothers death. She runs a coffee shop with the best homemade pies but is barely keeping it afloat. When she meets badboy Nicholas who could charm her easily if she let him, she puts her guard up. But Olivia can't resist the feelings he stirs or to take this one chance in a lifetime to do something wild and crazy and spontaneous. To live in the moment....but when love enters the game, both Nicholas and Olivia know they will never be able to have forever....
Nicholas, the Crown Prince has always done what has been asked of him. He lost his parents when he was younger, and shielded his younger brother and protected him as best he could. To the world he has recovered from the loss....but Nicholas hides his true feelings well. Nicholas is ready to take on the world if need be even if it terrifies him. But his biggest worry is his brother who is falling off the deep end since ending his military service. Nicholas at first is one of the "playboy" heroes that can drive you up the wall and at first that is what Nicholas appears to be. But we see larger depths into his character and with each development in the story you begin to admire him.
I truly loved how he treats Olivia. Especially once their relationship sets off, you see how much he cares for her and is truly genuine about his feelings for her. He is quite noble and self sacrificing at times.
Olivia Hammond has had to take a load of responsibility on her shoulders especially since heR mothers death. She knew that this coffee and pie shop was her mothers dream and refuses to give up on it, especially knowing that it's the only thing that is keeping her father alive. Olivia is struggling but she is ever hopeful that something better will come her way and it does. She never expected that a prince...a real prince would walk through her door and proposition her while drunk....or keeping coming back until she said yes. And dating a prince is not like the storybooks. Olivia is a heroine you love from the get go!!! Like seriously, she rocked this story so much and I couldn't help but cheer her on. She is tough as nails but is also sweet and kind. She is a fighter especially when its something she has a passion for, but she is also realistic. I loved seeing her blossom in this story, and you see some character growth here, and my biggest love for her is the way she fights for herself and those she loves.
Royally Screwed is a story that I got recommended by Michele over at Harlequin Junkie and I am so glad I one clicked this story. Now I have recently become a fan of Emma Chase through her Legal Briefs series. But this book was stellar amazing!!! I honestly couldn't put this down once...it was so dang good and I just wanted it to never end because this couple....might be one of my all time favorite couples that I have read this year. I do love a good royal romance but it has been a while since I have read a contemporary royal romance and it knocked my socks off.....I honestly can't say enough how much I adored this book and every romance lover has to have this book in their collection!!!
Now what makes this story so wonderful? Just about everything....the characters, the story line, the alternating POV, and the side characters just hit the spot; and the witty humor could have me laughing for days.
Now the romance that develops between these two is not what you would expect. At first they treat it like a fling, they have chemistry and want to explore it. But the part of the story that got to me, was when our hero is fully honest with Olivia and what his grandmother demands of him. But Olivia just shines here, because their relationship takes a turn where they decide to enjoy what time they have together and boy do they have some fun adventures here. Their relationship is passionate and wild but tender and sweet. They are just solid when they are together and you feel it from the very beginning.
It can be quite a tear jerker at times seeing them work their way to a happy ending, which isn't easy and their love is really tested at the end there....but dang did I have a wild fun time with these two. And I can't wait for book 2 HOOYAH!!!
What a COVER!!! So mouth-watering and I just want to jump into his royal bed!!! Love the royal type colors used too.
Royally Screwed is a romance that is poignant, irresistible to put down and written so beautifully!!!! A HEARTWARMING ROMANCE!

She has no idea who I am … Her ignorance is rather…thrilling. There are no expectations, no hidden agendas, no reasons to pretend – what she sees is what she gets. And all she sees is me.

Libby is content with her small town life, but her world gets turned upside down when a drunk stranger stumbles into her yard and messing up her nice orderly life. She is shocked to learn that he is her next door neighbor, and Libby has a hard time resisting this man that has slowly won over her resistance. Killian has gone after his dreams but has paid a horrible price and now has lost touch with his music and needs to find it again. When Libby and Killian connect, music breathes life back into the both of them and the passion they have for each other. But life intrudes on them, and soon Libby will have to make a painful choice….to follow her own dreams or to share a life with the man she loves….
Killian is the lead singer of the most famous rock group, but due to some setbacks, all of them have taken a year off from the music and gone on sabbatical for the time being. Killian almost lost his best friend and has lost his love for music. But when Libby enters his life, he starts to find his passion for music once again. Killian is one of those heroes that may be overdone but is so well written you can’t help but fall mad for him. Killian is a infamous rock star, knows his music and knows his band and knows how to work the crowd. He doesn’t do anything half full and Killian becomes tested but you see how much depth he is capable of.
Libby lives in a small community, and with her parent’s recent deaths, lives away from the public eye and works from home, living a life of contentment. But Libby soon realizes that she needs more than that. Libby has the heart for music, but has denied herself for quite some time. Her parents were famous singers, but didn’t want to encourage her talent because they knew how rough the life could be. However when Libby meets Killian and slowly warms up to him, she discovers her talent for music. I did love seeing Libby come to life in this story and how much she learns and grows as a character. She became so real.
Idol by Kristen Callihan is simply fantastic and even though I was suspecting it to be a average rock star romance….it was not your typical standard story you would expect to find. I admit I was pleasantly surprised by Idol, and with Kristen Calliahan at the helm I should have expected a story that would be different, and it was. First off, these two don’t meet in your usual conventional way. And boy do these two go at it for a while. There is a bit of flirty angst in the beginnings of their relationship, but soon it goes deeper. Then they both discover music together, and this was one of my favorite aspects of this book. But then reality hits and these two have to make some tough decisions. And boy do they both have a tough road to travel!! Man….I Adored Idol so very much and I liked the unique take that Calliahan puts on this story. It surprised me in big ways and little ways. It keeps me curious about what would happen next and It was quite a ride to see this pair figure out their HEA. I will admit that it could be heartbreaking at times but so worth the ride. So well written and very engaging. It was such fun to become so immersed in this story and involved with this couple. And I am very curious about the other band members and their stories!!! I can’t wait to see what comes next.
I love the mix of colors…..so different and unique!
Idol is a romance that is full of conflicting emotions and a journey of two souls discovering what is right for themselves and for each other....

Professor Bria Lane, is on a mission to prove that bear shifters exist and that she thinks that it can cure cancer. She is determined to get solid proof of the existence of shape shifters under the guise of a reasonable research sabbatical. She wants to prove to her parents that she can do this. She has returned to Deep Creek, a place that gives her mixed feelings. Its the place where she first saw a bear shift and where her parent's relationship changed forever in a negative light. Derek Poole, is the locale Park Ranger, but he is also a bear shifter, and having Bria Lane come to town and with the "type" of research she has in mind could be very bad for all that and the worst timing ever. First he figures out that she is his mate, she poses a serious danger to his kind and there is a war coming on from the lions. Lions that want their territory and seek a war in order to claim it. Tensions are high, and above all that he has to do...he has to make sure his mate doesn't reveal to anyone in the real world who his people really are. But Bria will have to choose on her own....her dream to be published and be accomplished to her parents or the growing love and passion she shares with this sexy bear....
Pursuing The Bear was a random click on NG....I was in the mood for a bear shifter romance and Kerry Adrienne delivered a story that had me hooked from the beginning. Her writing is superb and I love how well she was able to sweep me away in this story. It sets off with our heroine Bria, recalling the first time seeing a bear and his cub shift and how magical it was to her. She has never forgotten what she has seen and she wants the world to know of it as well. Bria is on the hunt for a viewing of a bear shift once again, but it doesn't happen like she wants it to. And then she stumbles across a sexy park ranger who keeps warning her off yet sharing time with her. Bria and Derek become close, becoming honest with each other (other than Derek being a bear shifter) but the war intrudes and Bria is put in danger. Now this does have a bit of lack of communication that happens here....why why do some characters wait too....long to be honest with the one person they love? But this happens and yeah circumstances aren't the best. But I truly loved how we are swept in a story that is thrilling and passionate! I really was curious about this "war", even though this is the second book in the series, I definitely support you reading it as a stand alone. But this war has been building for a while due to what happens in the first book. I did like that Derek and Bria fit quite well together, and even though they have some differences from each other. Once they resolve certain differences, they accept each other fully. The plot does thicken as the story continues on and boy does it get exciting at times! But I have a feeling book three will finish off a bit of a teaser we have with this shifter war....I have a feeling the lions are NOT done with these bears yet. Very curious to see what happens next. But what a fun and delightful escape from reality....definitely recommend to PNR lovers.
I really think they did a great job with this cover....and matches up with our hero so well too!!! I love the green, adds the right feel for the story.
Pursuing The Bear is a fantastic romance that is exciting....life changing and has a sensual warmth to wrap you up like a blanket on a cold winters night!!

Professor Bria Lane, is on a mission to prove that bear shifters exist and that she thinks that it can cure cancer. She is determined to get solid proof of the existence of shape shifters under the guise of a reasonable research sabbatical. She wants to prove to her parents that she can do this. She has returned to Deep Creek, a place that gives her mixed feelings. Its the place where she first saw a bear shift and where her parent's relationship changed forever in a negative light. Derek Poole, is the locale Park Ranger, but he is also a bear shifter, and having Bria Lane come to town and with the "type" of research she has in mind could be very bad for all that and the worst timing ever. First he figures out that she is his mate, she poses a serious danger to his kind and there is a war coming on from the lions. Lions that want their territory and seek a war in order to claim it. Tensions are high, and above all that he has to do...he has to make sure his mate doesn't reveal to anyone in the real world who his people really are. But Bria will have to choose on her own....her dream to be published and be accomplished to her parents or the growing love and passion she shares with this sexy bear....
Plot and Story Line
Pursuing The Bear was a random click on NG....I was in the mood for a bear shifter romance and Kerry Adrienne delivered a story that had me hooked from the beginning. Her writing is superb and I love how well she was able to sweep me away in this story. It sets off with our heroine Bria, recalling the first time seeing a bear and his cub shift and how magical it was to her. She has never forgotten what she has seen and she wants the world to know of it as well. Bria is on the hunt for a viewing of a bear shift once again, but it doesn't happen like she wants it to. And then she stumbles across a sexy park ranger who keeps warning her off yet sharing time with her. Bria and Derek become close, becoming honest with each other (other than Derek being a bear shifter) but the war intrudes and Bria is put in danger. Now this does have a bit of lack of communication that happens here....why why do some characters wait too....long to be honest with the one person they love? But this happens and yeah circumstances aren't the best. But I truly loved how we are swept in a story that is thrilling and passionate! I really was curious about this "war", even though this is the second book in the series, I definitely support you reading it as a stand alone. But this war has been building for a while due to what happens in the first book. I did like that Derek and Bria fit quite well together, and even though they have some differences from each other. Once they resolve certain differences, they accept each other fully. The plot does thicken as the story continues on and boy does it get exciting at times! But I have a feeling book three will finish off a bit of a teaser we have with this shifter war....I have a feeling the lions are NOT done with these bears yet. Very curious to see what happens next. But what a fun and delightful escape from reality....definitely recommend to PNR lovers.
The Cover
I really think they did a great job with this cover....and matches up with our hero so well too!!! I love the green, adds the right feel for the story.
Overall View
Pursuing The Bear is a fantastic romance that is exciting....life changing and has a sensual warmth to wrap you up like a blanket on a cold winters night!!

In the territory of Canada, Sophia is the ruler but the worst has happened, her human mate Colin has been kidnapped and tortured and kept alive through vampire blond. So she calls in some help, so she can focus on keeping order and find the traitors. Lucifer, may be younger than most vampires but under the aid of Aden and Bastien has been building on his power and strengths. He has come to help since his expertise is seeing those "clues" and his partner is Sophia's most trusted friend and bodyguard Eleanor. Lucifer and Eleanor are thrown a curveball, because they were once lovers but Eleanor and Lucifer were torn apart by an enemy and now they will have to work together to find Colin as fast as possible. Eleanor was forcefully turned into a vampire by Lucifer's enemy, and she was too confused and ashamed to go to him. She has spent the years since learning to fight and being capable and strong. They are on the clock to find Colin, and the traitors behind the kidnapping and betrayal of Sophia and Canada is no small territory to cover. Being around each other, Lucifer and Eleanor will also have to face the past if they want to have a future together....
Lucifer was another fantastic addition to this series and I LOVED it!! It definitely has some fun old characters we get to get back in touch with like Aden, Bastien, Sophia and Colin and even some snippets of Raphael and Cyn. Those who have fallen in love with this series will have a blast with these characters. Now it starts off with a not so happy start. One of my favorite couples....are in the fight of their lives. Colin and Sophia. Now Sophia is the vampire lord over Canada which she just recently took over and not everyone in her territory are happy about it. She is being sent tapes of Colin's torture and even though she knows he is alive she has no idea where he is being held and is forced to ask for help. Because she has no idea who she can trust. And there is quite a bit of tension between Lucifer and Eleanor. Now we do get a few flashbacks to see their relationship before and see what drove them apart. Now Lucifer is one solid hero....he was so understanding and patient. In fact, there was nothing wrong I could see with him at all. He was so steady and reliable but dangerous when there is an enemy and boy is he powerful. But what I really liked the best about him is he didn't use that power for power alone. He used it to help others or defeat a evil. All that mattered to him was Eleanor, and I loved seeing how devoted he was to her despite the past. Eleanor has learned some painful lessons, and even though she made some decisions that were the best....they were understandable. I felt compassion for both of these characters and the horrible circumstances that a enemy put them in. Which is why I loved seeing this love story get a second chance for a happy ending. And who doesn't love a good mystery? Because Reynolds really outdid herself in this one.
Quite a thrill to see the adventure, suspense and a good mystery in the midst of a paranormal romance you can cheer for!! Another Winning romance for D.B. Reynolds!!! And it looks like the series is just beginning for a war and some battles in Europe BRING IT ON!!!
LOVE this cover so much!!! Love the feel of danger and power in this one. The male model fits just right for Lucifer as he is described in the book.
Lucifer is a vampire romance that is packed with action, danger and a solid mystery that will keep the reader guessing!! SIMPLY EXHILARATING!

He cupped her face with his free hand, and kissed her. Soft and gentle, and full of love. A romantic kiss that spoke of devotion and promises that lasted forever. "I love you, Eleanor. Forever and ever, bella. Forever and Ever."

Arend Aubury trusts no one except the libertine scholars and their wives. The past has made him believe in treachery and deceit, especially when their nemesis is involved. He has a plan, and will need to use a "supposedley" innocent woman to do it. Lady Isobel Thompson is the step daughter of Victoria, the woman they believe to be behind the attacks. But Isobel knows that her step mother is not what she seems to be. Even though she knows that Arend doesn't trust her and is using her to get to Victoria, Isobel allows it despite how much it hurts her that the man she has fallen hard for, doesn't believe in her. But Isobel is made of tough stuff, and she decides that its necessary to force Arend to face the past and choose to love and trust her. But Arend hasn't had a easy time of it, and he wants to trust in Isobel, but fears that another woman would betray him and would be the cause of the death of the only family he has ever known: The Libertine Scholars. But Arend might lose Isobel if he doesn't take that leap of faith, and trust in Isobel and the love they share and defeat their enemy who would destroy them all...
In the latest release of the Libertine Scholars series, we finally get Arend's story. Now Arend has always been a bit of a mystery throughout the series, probably due to his past and he keeps himself set apart from the others. On Arend's part, he blames himself for one of their brothers deaths and for Victoria's actions. He doesn't feel that he is worthy to find the happiness the other scholars have found with their wives. But we see that he won't be left out in the cold, if our heroine: the esteemed and fearless Isobel has anything to say about it.
Now Isobel is feisty and challenging and courageous and I honestly loved her character and she was just right for Arend. Arend needs a woman that will fight tooth and nail for him, and Isobel does that and more. Even when she the others think the worst of her, she never loses faith in her love for Arend. It was quite heartbreaking at times, to see how much she adored Arend but really had to fight to keep his faith in her. Its not an easy road for either one of them. But when you have been burned and very badly, its not easy to get back in the "saddle".
So it does take mistakes and some groveling and courage to keep love when you find it. On top of that, we have the evil Victoria, who is cunning. She is quite horrible, but she does prove to be a solid villain for the story and the whole series really. This story was a bit of a roller coaster though, with the romantic drama, mystery and suspenseful scenes, a villain who seems to be a step ahead of the good guys....a true love story that shows the battle between good vs. evil and the value of fighting for what is right. Simply another brilliant book from this stunning author!!!
I like that it follows the tone of the other covers for the rest of the series, and her dress is so pretty....I love the gray tones.
A Night Of Forever is action packed and a drama filled romance with endearing characters to cheer for....a love story that is worth fighting for!!!
I picked up this song because it just fits....especially for our heroine!!! She fights for the one she wants, almost to the cost of her life.

Plot and Story Line
In the latest release of the Libertine Scholars series, we finally get Arend's story. Now Arend has always been a bit of a mystery throughout the series, probably due to his past and he keeps himself set apart from the others. On Arend's part, he blames himself for one of their brothers deaths and for Victoria's actions. He doesn't feel that he is worthy to find the happiness the other scholars have found with their wives. But we see that he won't be left out in the cold, if our heroine: the esteemed and fearless Isobel has anything to say about it.
One man, and one only, consumed her.
Now Isobel is feisty and challenging and courageous and I honestly loved her character and she was just right for Arend. Arend needs a woman that will fight tooth and nail for him, and Isobel does that and more. Even when she the others think the worst of her, she never loses faith in her love for Arend. It was quite heartbreaking at times, to see how much she adored Arend but really had to fight to keep his faith in her. Its not an easy road for either one of them. But when you have been burned and very badly, its not easy to get back in the "saddle".
He was being torn in two. One part of him wanted her with every beat of his heart, wanted to bury his face in her scented heat, taste the fragrance that was only, ever Isobel. The other part of him was screaming in agony, begging to flee before it was too late...while the nauseating smell of burning flesh filled his lungs.
So it does take mistakes and some groveling and courage to keep love when you find it. On top of that, we have the evil Victoria, who is cunning. She is quite horrible, but she does prove to be a solid villain for the story and the whole series really. This story was a bit of a roller coaster though, with the romantic drama, mystery and suspenseful scenes, a villain who seems to be a step ahead of the good guys....a true love story that shows the battle between good vs. evil and the value of fighting for what is right. Simply another brilliant book from this stunning author!!!
She was desperate to help him, to show him in a way that would silence any doubt in his distrustful mind and wounded soul that she would never betray him, no matter what dark secrets his past held. All she cared about was the man he was now.
"No" Of this she was absolutely certain. "The type of man you are does not have to be dictated by a brand or decree by the mistakes you made in your youth. You are a man formed by the obstacles you have overcome, by the quality of those who truly love you, the ones who stand with you, and the ones who would give their lives for you."
The Cover
I like that it follows the tone of the other covers for the rest of the series, and her dress is so pretty....I love the gray tones.

Malcolm MacDonald, a lawyer in Edinburgh is shocked to learn that he is the next Laird. A clan that he hasn't been around for many years, and on top of everything will have to earn the trust of everyone in the clan. But there is one problem, well many problems, but when he stumbles across a injured lass wrapped in the plaid of the their enemy the MacDonald's, he hides the evidence because he has no idea what they will do to this innocent woman who has no memory of who she is even though he knows where she comes from and her life could be in danger if anyone finds out the truth. Ranat, has no memory of who she is or where she comes from. All she knows is that the sea and fresh air calls out to her. She feels drawn to Malcolm, and even though he tries to put distance between them the chemistry between them is powerful and not even he can resist what they feel for each other. But Malcolm is hiding a horrible secret and if he isn't honest with her in time he could lose her forever...
When A Laird Finds A Lass is another wonderful tale from our esteemed author Lecia Cornwall. Now this one is even better than the first book, which I didn't think was possible since I adored Beauty and the Highland Beast. Quite frankly....I had so much fun with the fairy tale that this story is based on : The Little Mermaid. Our heroine is quite the swimmer, the water calls to her and she swims naturally like a fish. Our story starts out with our heroine. She thinks she is in love but then is betrayed. So when a suitor comes calling looking to marry one of the famous Macdonald sisters, she volunteers. On the journey to her new home with her new husband, she finds a horrible truth and is betrayed once again. But is injured and finds herself without her memory and our hero finds her and is captivated!! Our hero has good reasons for keeping the truth from his clan ( I definitely understood that) however I couldn't understand why he kept the truth from Ranat ( and yes weird name but they didn't know her real name and you understand the reason behind naming her that in the book) We do have a couple of villains here actually. The first is Ranat's Husband, he is pretty horrible, wanting to use her for revenge against her clan. Then we have the cousin to Malcolm, who one of the elders of the clan is misguided and wanted him instead. Quite frankly, he should be shot. Tends to rape women whenever he gets drinking. But the clan as a whole were so awesome. They are pretty close knit to each other, which makes sense since many of their people have died from a disease. Especially in how they welcome Ranat and make her a part of the clan. They protect and care for each other. Malcolm proves to be one of the best leaders that really brings things together for them all. Malcolm has no idea what he is really doing, but he fits the role so well. The romance that develops between these two is almost a game of give and take. Malcolm wants to pursue something real with Ranat, but the secret keeps from her, eats him up inside. Ranat, knows what is between them and pursues Malcolm. I really adored the heroine here, because she just knows there isn't another man from her past she could love more than Malcolm. And not afraid to go after who she really wants!!
I did like seeing how these two in different ways fight for the love they share for each other and so many sweet and sexy moments to enjoy.
I love the dress, and the purple colored plaid with the backdrop of the sea. And you know I love the lettering used in this one.
When A Laird Finds A Lass is a charming highland romance that sweeps you off your feet with adventure, passion, and the magic of true love....ENCHANTING!!!
My choice would be If Only, from the Little Mermaid Musical. I was thinking about this whole soundtrack while I was reading this book, because it was all these little things that made me think of this fairy tale and loved seeing this adaption. Its actually rare to see an adaption of The Little Mermaid in fairytale retellings, so it made me want to get a mermaid tail of my own or maybe a sexy highland laird close to the seashore.

"Kiss me," she whispered against his mouth.
"To see if you remember? It's a dangerous game."
She shook her head "No. This time it's not a game, or a test. I don't want to think about the past or the future or anyone else. I just want now, with you."
"But if--" he began, and she put her finger over his lips, silencing him.
"No, Malcolm. Tonight you are not a lawyer or a laird. I am no one's wife, or a selkie, or even your pretend bride. I am a woman and you are the man I desire."

Lev "Painter" Brooks had nothing until he had his brothers of the Reaper MC. It has become his life and he would sacrifice everything for his brothers. All they ask is to do his part and his loyalty which he has given totally. But there is one woman who is his weakness. Melanie Tucker. Melanie has felt an attraction to Painter ever since that one day he gave her a ride on his motorcycle and she lost everything. Melanie and Painter never seem to get anything right. Melanie writes letters to Painter while he was in prison, and when he gets out things are a bit rocky, but she and Painter realize they have more going on than just hot sex....they have a real chance for happiness. But there is a hurdle on that road to their happy ever ever, a mistake is made and Painter pays dearly. Now its been five years, and Melanie and Painter have to face up to real truths and the fact of how right they are for each other and stop fighting what is worth fighting for....
Reapers Fall is another fantastic installment of the Reaper's MC and this wonderful world that Wylde has created for us. I love this author quite a bit, and the reason I admire her books is that even though they aren't for everyone, they are tough and gritty and real. In Reapers Fall we get to see another aspect of the MC lifestyle. A life that is full of sacrifice. Painter, has dreamed of having a family and he has one with the Reapers and his brothers. He doesn't feel he needs anything else. What was quite interesting about this book is it sets off with a intense scene. And yeah I think I cringed a bit with it. And then it sets us back to a couple years before. Where we see the way their relationship begins and develops and the circumstances that prove to test both of their limits. Now I didn't love everything about this book. I really liked the way these two were in the beginning.
There is quite a few scenes that are very Steamy, and might burn you in the process. But I really liked how playful they could be with each other. They have fun together and even though there are some misconceptions, their relationship seems to be pretty strong. Now my biggest issue with this story is how Painter and Melanie treat each other when things go south. Especially on Melanie's side of things. I felt that she tended to be too harsh in her judgement of Painter. But Especially toward the end, she really shows her true colors and I fell in love with her character again. Now Painter, is alpha and sure of himself and what he wants. He, along with many of the heroes of this series, does more than just work on his bike and do stuff for the MC. He is a painter, like an artist and very talented too. I liked that quite a bit, seeing a hero that has artistic abilities. You don't see that everyday. And I have always liked him, even with the mistakes he made with Em, I love that he has pizazz but I also admired how devoted he was to Melanie.
It was fun seeing some of my old favorite characters though. We get to some more kick ass drama that is expected from Joanna Wylde.
Now these two did such a superb job together narrating this story. Their voices just fell into sync with the story line, and they really make the characters come to life. Both Saffron and Nelson created a world that is full of passion and grit and determination!!
I love the casual stance on his bike....powerful yet confident!! And I like the BLUE...trust me it matches with certain details in the story, so I liked that they put those into display on the cover too.
Reaper's Fall is a vibrant and sexy romance that will make you want to grab on as tight as you can, because its going to give you one hell of a ride and more!!!

“I’d fallen in love with Melanie Tucker.
Not some little-boy, bullshit needy “love”… This was deep, almost painful in its unholy intensity. It was like she’d sent tendrils burrowing deep inside, binding us together so tightly I’d die if I ever tried to pull them out.
I was truly, deeply, and utterly fucked, because I fucking loved this girl…and she wasn’t for me.”

I love the casual stance on his bike....powerful yet confident!! And I like the BLUE...trust me it matches with certain details in the story, so I liked that they put those into display on the cover too.
Overall View
Reaper's Fall is a vibrant and sexy romance that will make you want to grab on as tight as you can, because its going to give you one hell of a ride and more!!!
