Living in Shadow is sexy, raw and intriguing, and at times hard to read. It does touch on a Dom/sub lifestyle so make sure you are OK with that, while it is very light it is there. The bigger issues revolve around abuse and force, and it is much more violent a situation, so you need to be prepared for that as well. Ashenden doesn’t suggest that sex and love can cure all of their troubles but the relationship they build together helps put them on a path to a better place. You just have to be ready to tiptoe thru darker places to get there.

Between her charmer of a town and Niall and Celia’s relationship, Denker brings her readers laugh-out-loud moments mixed with the heart readers need to keep coming back again and again. She delivers an engaging and clever romance that is definitely addictive.

If you are looking for a hard read with a great ending, then Alex is for you. It isn’t all roses and sunshine, but it is definitely worth taking the journey with him as he learns to let go of so many bad things and let the good things in.

William and Olivia see thru each other pretty much right away. She knows that beneath the charming and flirtatious mask that he shows the work, William is hiding the real man. And he quickly realizes that while everyone else sees a dull and unusual woman, there is something quite engaging about Olivia. Their shared love of literature gives them a little extra connection but it is the fact that they see so much more than the rest of the world that truly brings them together.

Because it is short we don’t get a lot of the falling in love part of their story – we get the meet-cute and all of the interactions that bring them together, then we get the aftermath. We do get just enough though to get a good understanding of how they end up where they do … and how they end up going the way that they must.

I have to say that the ending is one of my favorites. While William might have come to the realization of his feeling a bit abruptly, readers and those closest to him know what is coming. And they way that he goes about winning back Olivia’s heart is just about perfect.

I really enjoyed The Marshall’s Ready-Made Family. Usually my historical romances are all about the British lords and ladies so it was a nice change to move to the Old West. Being a part of the Love Inspired line, it delivers the expected heart-tugging warmth their books are known for.

Full of alpha males and the sassy women who love them (and who they love), plus a ton of action and adventure, Harris's HOT series is so much fun! I'll be honest - I've skipped a couple of stories and I have absolutely no idea why. They are fast-paced, engrossing and include a group of totally addictive characters. There is some overflow in the plot but, speaking as someone who has missed books 4 and 5, it isn't that big an issue.

I was completely captivated by these two as they worked thru these issues and figured out whether they can make a go of a real relationship. You have to be ready for some heartache to go with the romance though because they have their troubles to go along with fun. How to Handle a Heartbreaker is steamy and heartwarming and funny and sweet - a totally delicious package.

They are not kidding when they say this one is hot, but it also has a good amount of heart to go with the steam. While Tallulah and Garrett definitely have no problem setting fire to the sheets, they also get under each other’s skin. Sweet, sassy and sexy as all get out, Trouble in Tallulah is a whole lot of fun.

This is the second of Fox’s “In the Line of Duty” books that I’ve read and I’m hooked. At one point I looked up and realized that I was about halfway thru this one and felt like no time had passed at all. And just like His Trouble in Tallulah, His Taste of Temptation is sexy, sweet and fun. And the great thing, like Trouble, you can start here if you haven’t read any of the other stories – they do a great job of standing on their own. But if these two are any indication you won’t stop at just one!

With some seriously hot naked time and some seriously sweet together time, His Taste of Temptation will charm readers as they join Brad and Madison on a path to their own, somewhat unexpected, HEA.
