A Scoundrel in Moonlight is the last book ini the Sons of Sin series. The Sons of Sins, are four close friends who help each other especially when it comes to the women they love and certain villains that attempt to destroy them. Our hero of this show, Maruess of Leath, is honorable but has had to pick up the pieces for the crimes especially morally from his uncle who destroyed many innocents ruined and with bastard children. But when his mother has a new companion, James is distrustful about her, because he can sense that she is not everything she claims to be. Nell Trim is on a important mission, our for justice for her sister who died giving childbirth, to get justice against the man who ruined her. Nell was told it was the Marquess of Leath, but the more she gets to know him, she doubts her sisters word, because James is honorable and she can't imagine him ruining countless women's lives. But the truth comes out, James is understand of the reasons behind Nell's distrust, but he will have to win her heart and trust, but also the belief that they can have a future together no matter her upbringing.

She hadn't come to Yorkshire to pursue a lifelong career as a domestic servant. She'd arrived on a quest that had taken so many turns since that she hardly remembered where she's started.

She stayed.

Because she couldn't bear to leave.

I simply adored reading this book, it was a fantastic romance and I had a blast with the characters. Anna Campbell is a fantastic author, and since she has gone indie hasn't written any full length novels since this book, and I was pleased to find how much I fell for this book and her wonderful writing. If you enjoy historical romance, and want a author that is fresh and witty....this author is a must for y'all. I honestly can't get enough of her work and this series has been a thrill to read. Especially the way she writes the heroes, they are mouthwatering sexiness that romance readers desire. Our hero for this book, is more of a beta hero. He is protective but is honorable and true. He is also a wonderful and nice guy, I love how forgiving he was of Nell. He was hurt that she kept secrets from him, but didn't hold it against her since he understands why she kept secrets from him. I love how he is able to look at the bigger picture and not dwell too much on small things that don't matter for the long term. You also see how he fights for the woman he loves, especially when she is full speed ahead against the idea of marriage since she doesn't want to bring him scandal to his name. Our heroine is a fighter too, she could be a bit too stubborn at times but I did like seeing her determination and commitment to finding the man behind ruining her sister.

The romance between these two was simply wonderful. I enjoyed seeing their battle of wills, the fun dialogue that builds between them and the powerful chemistry and boy some of the kissing scenes are swoon worthy. The humor was witty and fun and made me remember why I love this author's style of writing so much. We also see the way that these two just sizzle, their chemistry just builds and builds and I love seeing them go back and forth. We also get to see the close friendships that we see between the four men and their wives. I loved their bantering and close knit ties to each other. They may not be related, but they are as close as brothers.

Overall a simply wonderful romance that crackles and sizzles with chemistry, a couple that have to overcome distrust and lies to find the real villain, and along the way discover their love is worth fighting for. A FANTASTIC ROMANCE

In Wolf Hunt, we have a thrilling and on your toes romance that is full of mystery, intrigue, actions and suspense and a fiery hot filled romance that I guarantee will curl your toes. Our exciting story, begins with our hero. The story sets off pretty quickly, and we see Remy working with his partner, to bring down three criminals who are torturing a young family. In the chaos, they end up losing more than they though, because Remy lost the woman he loved, and almost lost his life and found himself to be a werewolf. Now he is working with a team, doing some training exercises, and investigating a crime lord dealing drugs, when he finds himself following a special unique scent, a woman he hasn't seen in years, a woman he knew in high school and cared deeply for. Triana, works for the medical examiner's office, and while out dancing runs into the sexiest man she has ever known. These two are practically dynamite together, but there are some ghosts from the past that may keep them from finding their happy ending.

In Wolf Hunt,  Paige Tyler overwhelms the reader will sexy romance and a edge of your seat action filled book. And boy did I love the way she wrote this book. It was nice to see a different setting and boy did I love the New Orleans setting. I can never get enough of it, and Tyler did a great job balancing it out with the story and it really seemed to work for this pair especially with the whole paranormal element of werewolves here. I loved seeing high school friends come back together. But there is much more going on than a simple friends to lovers romance. We have a murder mystery going on as well and a dangerous drug crime lord. Triana is investigating her father's murder, which only draws more attention to her and her mother. Triana has to learn about the truth behind her father's death, and who she really is.

The characters in this novel are simply fantastic. Lets set our main couple on the side line while I talk about some of my favorite side characters that really made this book come alive. First off is Triana's mother. She was brilliant and a fighter. She is beyond wise, and deals with a little magic now and then. I like that she understands Triana and her relationship with Remy from the beginning. She has a very unique personality that I was instantly drawn to, very vibrant and even though her husband was brutally murdered, she hasn't let what happened to her effect who she is or how she treats others.

First off, I think you get little credit for being friends with Remy in high school. It's not as if you just met the man two days ago, you know. Even if you had, there's nothing crazy about falling fast. It simply means fate put you in front of the man you were meant to be with. There's nothing insane about that. In fact, its magical

We do have a true villain in the story as well, he is obsessed, and truly evil at the core and very power hungry. He was downright mentally crazy and he definitely gets what he deserves.

The romance that builds between our two characters is at first seen as a fling, since these two were once friends, and are only in New Orleans for a short time. Triana lives in Houston and Remy in Dallas. So these two aren't looking for anything permenent, But it soon becomes something more but Remy isn't as open as Triana is for a relationship. He is still half in love with his dead partner, and doesn't believe he can open his heart again. So Remy has to learn to fight for what he has found with Triana and not let fear take control. And Triana learns that she needs to fight for Remy, and for what they have together.

This story was such an exciting and thrilling ride, and I adored every moment getting back in touch with this series with a truly fun setting with lively characters and a love story to tempt you to jump into the pages!!!

In The Present by Johanna Lindsey, We have a delightful Christmas story of the Malory family. Now in this book, the family is gathering at Jason Malory's home, to celebrate. But just because its a special holiday, doesn't mean problems don't arise in the family. James's wife George, isn't speaking to him. Anthony's wife Roslynn isn't too happy with her husband either. Jason is still trying to convince his mistress to marry him with little success. But then something interesting happens, the Malory's discover a present, a present for the whole family which is a book, a record of their great grandmother,  the "gypsy" and their grandfather. The reader gets taken back through time, to discover, the love story between Christopher Malory and Anastasia. Anastasia is considered to be royalty among their kind, and she is set to marry a man that is cruel especially with women. Her grandmother, tells her to find another man to love and marry and then she will be free. She sets her sights on Christopher Malory, but Christopher is a English Lord, and it would be unheard of to marry beneath him. But when he finds himself married to Anastasia, after a night of drinking, he doesn't handle it well. And will have to win her back.

This story was utterly delightful and even though I have read this before, it has been so long since then, it was almost like reading this one for the first time. I adore this family, they are so entertaining and simply a "hoot" to read. In this book, we see how close knit they are despite all the bickering they like to do. I enjoyed seeing the real story of how their great grandparents fell in love, which paves the way for Jason and Molly, who have been in love for over thirty years. And its always a fun time to see this family interact, and even many of my favorite couples, still have issues they have to work out despite being married for years. It feels real and cozy, this story just makes this family brighten up even more. Even though its not a full novel, I definitely recommend any one loving this family, needs to read this one. I do think you need to read some books of this series before picking this one up. Or you might be confused on some of the family members and their situations in life.

Its a story that will take you on a ride through time, will give you plenty of laughs and some tears, but will also leave you fully sated in the end!!! TRULY HEARTWARMING!!

The Pleasures of Passion continues this delightful series: The Sinful Suitors. In this fourth installment, we have a tale of two people that fell in love when they were young and innocent but certain circumstances, broke them apart. Our hero in a effort to see justice for his sister, had to leave the continent and our heroine had a very sick mother and couldn't leave her. Certain misunderstanding happened and both Niall and Bree believed the worst about each other due to lies and secrets that wasn't their own doing. Now Niall has returned with a full pardon, and Bree has been a widow for a year with a young son. Niall has been working as a spy for England, doing various jobs. Now he has one last job, but it will mean working with the woman he has never stopped loving and one he could never have. There is a criminal working with counterfeit money, and they believe Bree's father is involved. So Bree and Niall are reluctant to work together, especially with the rising tension that builds between them.

I had a wonderful time reading this book, and I was quickly caught up in the plot and the romance. I have a soft spot for second chance romances, and this one was just right for me. Their bantering was quick witted and it was interesting to see these two work through these issues and in such fun and delightful ways as well. We also see the outer influences that drove them apart and see them learning to slowly trust each other. At first they don't think too highly of each other, and having to work through the lies they were told about each other, isn't easy and really have to work through it emotionally and end up learning to trust in each other, which trust isn't easy to rebuild once its lost.

I was quite intrigued to see how this book turned out, and the slow building romance was enchanting. I was hooked on this couple. Both Niall and Bree were fascinating character, and I just wanted  more of these two. These just click right when they are together, and even when they are at odds, there is an underlying connection between them. And even though the villain wasn't as unpredictable as I would have liked, the way the story played out was unpredictable and the development of events were delightful and seeing the way Bree and Niall come together and work together to find the real criminal.

Sabrina Jeffries hasn't lost her touch at all, and this book proved it. This story proved to be just as well written as her earlier books that I first fell in love with. This story had everything you desire in a romance....a solid mystery to solve, a sizzling chemistry, endearing characters, a well balanced plot and some twists to keep you on your toes....SIMPLY WONDERFUL!!

Luca is a book I have been anxiously anticipating ever since book one "Nico" was released last year. And just like the first book, I was hooked from the first paragraph. I honestly couldn't put this book down, and man I love finding an author that can just reel me into a story like Sarah Castille does for me. She never lets me down, and Luca was sexy and dangerous fun and definitely put me through the ringer with this book. So lets get to what I simply loved about this book.

What does that mean?” He leaned down and kissed her, his lips warm and soft. “Roughly translated, it means you are my angel. Heaven is in your eyes. I am dazzled by you.

Our story begins with our heroine, Gabrielle Fawkes, is a police detective. Her late husband was murdered, and she has been hunting the man responsible for two years, a drug lord. But when she is shot, she is pulled off the case. But Gabrielle is the type of heroine that won't ever give up, especially hunting a man that needs to go down. Then she meets our hero Luca who also has been shot having taken a bullet for his boss and closest friend Nico. Luca is a bit of a playboy, bad boy and doesn't go for anything serious especially since she would have to pass inspection with his mother, who is the only person in the world that intimidates him. But  Luca is drawn to Gabrielle in a way he has never been to any woman before. Gabrielle doesn't know who Luca really is, that he is part of a mob crime family. Their love is forbidden for obvious reasons. But they are both hunting the same man, and Gabrielle isn't a wilting violet. She is a fighter, especially when it comes to bringing down a killer like Garcias. Luca is torn, and he might have to choose his loyalty to his friend and the mob, or to his love for Gabrielle.

You. You are worth the risk. You make me want to be a better man, a better father. I want to be worthy of you. I want to give you what I couldn't give Gina. A better life than the one I live. A future. I want to give you everything, bella.

This is a "forbidden" style of a romance, and boy did I love these turn of events. Both of these characters are very dynamic and surprised me, delightfully so. Luca fights for Gabrielle, and pretty early on into the story, which I didn't expect. And our lovely heroine, she is a fighter, and boy does she protect Luca in the best of ways. She was honestly entertaining and quite frankly a "hoot" to watch. I was rooting for her and Luca all the way through this book. And honestly one other aspect really of her character just made me admire her even more. The ways that she stands up to Luca, and even up to Nico and the rest of the members of the mob. Yeah she has balls of steel, and there is this one scene that I have re read multiple times because we see what a fighter she is, we see her strength and determination grow, aspects of her character and personality she doesn't even realize that she has until events force her to take action and realize that she is stronger than she realizes. This pair are just perfect for each other, and they so deserved a happy ending.

Feel me power, my power. Know you are safe with me. Even when you are at your most vulnerable, you are safe with me.

My only complaint of this book, was the ending. It was more abrupt than I wanted or expected so that was a bit of a downer. However there is so much to love about this book. The plot is exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat, the characters are captivating and easily relatable and ones you can cheer on, the romance is hot and mouthwatering.... A DELECTABLE TALE OF DEVOTION, LOYALTY AND THE POWER OF TRUE LOVE.

After wanting to read this author for quite a while, I was happy to discover that the first book of this series was on the shelf at the local library and I grabbed it up, without even looking at the blurb. Yep, I just knew I needed to read this author and I was NOT dissapointed. This book was simply wonderful. I loved everything about it. And boy did it make me laugh so very hard, and I wasn't expecting it to be so funny, but it really was. So let me tell you what I really loved about this first book of the Last Chance Series.

Our heroine, Jane, is on the run from some dangerous people, and also from the secrets of her past. She arrives in Last Chance, with only five dollars to her name and runs into our hero Clay, a sexy singer who has recently come home trying to build a new life when his efforts of building his dreams didn't work out as he planned. Jane and Clay share a passionate night, but Clay doesn't want to let Jane go, even though another part of him tries to help her leave town because he knows there isn't anything for her here. He knows she is hiding something, and that she is one step away from living on the street. Jane is determined to stay in town even though Clay doesn't understand why she would want to.

"Look girl, will you wake up? We're sitting on a flat piece of land that's a few feet above sea level. Hurricane Jane may be a hundred miles away, but it's supposed to drop something like fifteen inches of rain on us today. Before the day is out, we'll lose power, half the roads will get washed out, and there will be trees down all over town. No one is going to be conducting interviews today"

"You really are a glass is half empty kind of person aren't you?"

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and let it out. "Well," he said, opening his eyes again and speaking as if she was mentally slow or something "I realize you like to think positively, but.." His voice rose in pitch "A hurricane is a frigging natural disaster."

This story is a endearing, sweet and fascinating story that really pulled me in pretty quickly. I really loved pretty much everything about this book. The characters are just charming, and not just the main characters. We have some entertaining side characters that just made me want to buy the rest of the books in the series, because they were unique and different. They added magic to this story, and their personalities and humor just fit right with the setting and theme that this author is setting up for the series. The romance that builds between Clay and Jane is magical here. At first it starts as a fling, but then it turns quickly into something deeper between them. I really liked seeing the intimacy build slowly between them.  The story overall is a book that pulls you in, makes you laugh and smile, it makes you ponder and think and will make you want to only read more of this mysterious town of Last Chance.

I just flew through this beautiful book pretty quickly, and quite frankly way faster than I thought I could even read...yep that is how much I truly enjoyed this book. I really have no idea why I waited so long to read this one, but I am so glad that I decided to grab this one up from the library because it was definitely worth it. Our wonderful story begins with our heroine who is a maid in a Duke's home. Lorna isn't your typical maid though. She was a gentleman's daughter, but when her father died, she had to become a maid. And when a masqued ball occurs, she decides to dress up as a mysterious lady of the Ton, to catch the attention of the Duke. Lorna is drawn to him, just like every female is. But on this mysterious night she catches his attention and curiousity, and they share a night of lovemaking and passion. Alex, the Duke of Kinross, doesn't recognize Lorna as his mysterious lady. Now time has passed over six month, and Lorna is heavily pregnant with Alex's child. And when Alex and his mother learn of this development, Alex seeks out Lorna to see that she and his child are taken care of.

I honestly didn't see the accidental pregancy angle happening from the beginning, but I honestly felt like it just fit for this story. I did like that Lorna wanted to attempt to take care of the situation on her own, yet at the same time I felt she needed to be honest with Alex. He deserved to know that he was going to be a father. Especially when she is barely making enough to get by, let alone raise a child. Both Alex and Lorna are very stubborn in many ways so their relationship is a bit rocky while they work through kinks. But it was fun seeing them work through these rocky slopes and find the smooth ride down...eventually. Now I will say that Alex's mother was enchanting, I adored every bit of her character, but most especially in the wonderful way she is so accepting of Lorna.

What also added a bit more edge to the story, was the mysterious danger element. But I will say this portion of the story was slightly predictable but still added some dynamics to the story. The writing however, was superb. The author just pulled me so quickly into this book and I didn't put it down until I read it. When I can read a book in one sitting, it should tell you how much I truly enjoyed picking up this book. There is something that this author does more for a romance than others do, and she keeps this genre alive for me.  This story was sexy, emotional, dramatic and romantic.  A ENDEARING PAGE TURNER

Wynter, the king of Wintercraig, devoted his time and energy to building up his kingdom, and trying to work with their southern neighbors: Summerlea. But then the prince of Summerlea stole his bride and killed his brother, and for three years he has battled with his enemies and now he has won and will take a bride of one of the precious daughters of the summer king. What he doesn't know is that there is a fourth daughter, one who can save him from the ice heart that is slowly consuming him. Khamsin, is blamed by her father for the death of her mother. Her father hates her and abuses her and she has grown up in the remote section of the palace. Then she is forced to disguise herself and marry the Winter King. She fears him more than any other, for his power matches her own, but she feels a burning for him she has never felt before. From the warm lands of Summerlea to the cold and bitter territory of Wintercraig, she will need to decide where her loyalties lie: to her family who never loved her as they should have, or her husband who loves her with a fierce passion? War is coming and only Khamsin and Wynter can defeat the greatest enemy of all and save all from destruction.

The Winter King is the first book in the most newest and latest series by C.L. Wilson. This is the one book I have been looking forward to read the most all year and now I finally got a chance to read it through Avon and Edelweiss. Even though this book is almost 600 pages, it really didn't feel that long. The Winter King is a story that will magically sweep you off your feet, and I literally had to force myself to put this down when I needed to work, but I just wanted to read this all right at that moment, I was so intrigued and The Winter King swept me up from the very beginning. There was never a time while reading this I felt a urge to set it down at all. If anything I couldn't help but read it as much as possible.

This story begins with the betrayal of Wynter and his vengeance. Wynter is one hell of a kind of hero....ALPHA all the way. Just thinking about him gives me the shivers (but in a good way!!) He definitely stirs the blood and seriously what woman wouldn't want him at her side. Wynter has done some shameful things, he has taken the Ice heart, which has given him the power to defeat his enemy. But it is also slowly destroying him and freezing him from inside out....and only love will thaw him. He believes that will happen when he has his heir. Even though he is rough around the edges, he has a soft side to especially for the heroine of the story. He wants to despise her and he doesn't trust her at first, but we see how feels a magnetic pull towards her. The heroine here....is one of my all time favorites....she is amazing and wonderful and you can't help but find her endearing. Which is very rare, usually the focus is on the hero. But Wilson has succeeded in developing both of the main characters to a point that you fall in love with them and by the end of the story you feel as if you could be best friends with her. We see her strong spirit from the beginning of the story, and what a fighter she is. At first she seems a bit more submissive at times, but she has a tender heart and a fiery spirit...mix those two together and you get one fierce lass. There were so many times I wanted to cry for her and what her father does....it is painful to read through, but Wynter comes through and he is super protective of her even though he hates her family and even her at the beginning.

The connection that these two have is so precious and tender. The chemistry in this story is SIZZLING and you will need a fire hose to keep the smoke from consuming you. These two definitely know the meaning of fireworks and explosions especially when it comes to passion. There is a power ridden sensuality with each chapter. The plot is well laid out and has quite a few twists that you don't ever expect, and it will keep you guessing and enthrall you even more in the story.

Overall a stunning romantic tale of the power of true love, devotion and magic. With a sensual passion, endearing characters, and a story line to captivate you body and soul!! Get ready for a adventure of a lifetime. One that will take you to new heights, in a world of the magic of winter, where ice and snow are a constant....and a love story to bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your heart. TRULY MAGNIFICENT.

In the Pirate and I, we have a short yet sweet novella that Katharine Ashe brings to us. I haven't had a chance to pick this author up lately, but when I saw the title, I just knew I had to grab this one up, I just can't resist those sexy "pirates" .  Now I will say that while I enjoyed this novella quite a bit, I did feel a little loss at times. Maybe if I had read the previous books in the series it might have made a bit more sense. However I did enjoy seeing these two people that once were friends and close to each other, find one another again although a bit differently. Our hero, disappeared for two years, being forced to work on a ship as a pirate, and then reappers needing help so he can disappear for good. I liked seeing these two connect again, and their interactions were quite entertaining. The heroine is spirited, driven and sweet natured. I love seeing how she wants to pursue her own dreams. There are some adventures, sneaky characters that you fall in love with, and a charming dog to add a nice touch to a sweet yet sexy romance. Katharine Ashe delivers a wonderful and endearing love tale with The Pirate and I!!

Now determined to find out the truth and the evil that threatens his people, he finds out that he has a truemate, the woman that is the other half of his soul. He never thought it possible he would ever have a truemate, but now that he has found her, he will never let her go. Ellysetta or also known as Ellie, lives in a mortal city known as Celiera, a place where she grew up. Her father being a woodcarver, she grew up in a simple yet loving atmosphere. her family is everything to her. Ellie knows that soon she will have to marry soon, and the man her parents would have her wed, leaves a bad taste in her mouth, she wishes more than anything to marry anyone but him. Ellie is not a normal mortal, she has suffered nightmares and convulsions all of her life. When Tairen Soul, king and the most powerful Tairen alive comes to their city, she is intrigued. All of Ellie's life, she has been fascinated with Tairen Soul and anything connection to the myths and legends he has left behind. The last thing she expects is for Tairen Soul to come swooping down and claiming her as his truemate. She wonders if his vision is impaired or is drunk. Ellie has always believed herself to be awkward, unattractive and not built in the way most men desire a women to be shaped. There is a part of her that can't resist Tairen, or his gentle ways with her. Even though the passion they share can be fierce, she finds her heart opening up to Rain and his protectiveness and fierce devotion.

I have heard about this series for a very long time and have always wanted to read these books, which I have heard stellar reviews on. So I decided it was time to try them out, especially since I do love fantasy romance. From the first few pages, I was instantly hooked, and I couldn't put this epic story down. I was blown away by the author's voice and the world building she does with the Tairen Soul series. Even though this is the only book I have read from this author, I am hooked, I can barely sit still with excitement to read what happens between Tairen and Elllie. In the beginning I was a bit confused with what was happening, but that usually happens with this type of story, with a huge aspect of world building. It tends to take a little while to get adjusted and settled into the story. I am not saying I had a hard time getting into the story, (the very opposite as a matter of fact). However I do wish there was a bit more background to the story in the prologue. It did have some background information, but I felt like there may have been a bit more. However once the story picked up, I started to feel comfortable and everything seemed to come together pretty nicely only after a few chapters. It was amazing how well the author put the story together in such a way, that there was no confusion at all and the ease that came with reading Lord of the Fading Lands. So it starts off with Tairen Soul seeking the truth to saving his people, but instead finds out about his truemate, which is the last thing he would expect. It then jumps to Ellie, who along with her two younger sisters, is getting prepared for a visit from fey warriors. Then the first meeting between Tairen and Ellie occurs, and it definitely satisfied every romantic bone in my body. I just sighed at that point, definitely full of desire and intensity, and I could barely contain my excitement. We then see the King and strongest of his people, humble himself beyond reason in order to court Ellie, who is young and inexperienced but beautiful in spirit and soul.

Both of these characters I absolutely adored. Ellie is sweet and charming and very innocent, and has no clue of the power that resides within her. She is very protective and fierce when she needs to be, but is simple and has been raised in a home of love and wants that for herself. She doesn't just give in to Tairen and accept his claim hands down, she tests him, even though it was subtle, I had fun seeing Ellie warm up to Tairen. She does have self doubt about herself, but I think that con's to Ellie made her seem more real to me, and I felt it easy to relate with her. Tairen was beyond amazing, and he is going to the top of my list of hero's. Tairen is your typical Alpha Male, however there is much more to him than that. He does have a dominant and beyond possessive side. He also has a gentle and patient nature toward Ellie, that is guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings. The side characters were fun and exciting and charming. The relationship between Tairen and Ellie starts out like any relationship does, with stumbling blocks but I did enjoy the way they compromised with each other, and start to develop a deeper bond to each other as the story progressed. I definitely didn't want this story to ever end, and it ended way sooner than I would have liked. I did expect a cliffhanger of some sort, since this series is just about this couple (At least I think it is), but it ended on a good note, but just enough cliffhanger, to keep you thirsty for me, yet not frustrated, just hungry for the next installment.

Overall I would say this is one of the best books I have read ALL year!!! There was so many things I loved about the first in the Tairen series. Such a beautiful world C. L. Wilson creates for us. An exciting and enthralling tale of a epic love and a world with magic, paranormal creatures, and characters to bewitch you. BRILLIANTLY DONE!!!
