Spoiled Brit by Kaitlyn Kevette

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is so much wrong with this story. The Prince has a borderline personality disorder, he's a rapist and an arrogant a**. The Princess is pathetic. The story could have been good, but on top of the very flawed characters it is sloppily written an much if it mad no sense.

Highland Awakening by Jennifer Haymore

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Great intrigue and humor in this exciting and engrossing story, and I loved all the characters involved. Cam has the perfect amount of strength, vulnerability, cockiness, loyalty and kindness. Esme is shy, bold and in need of a caring man. Cam is now one of my favorite heroes. I couldn't put down until all the questions were answered.

To Lure A Proper Lady by Ashlyn Manamara

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A romantic suspense story, with a few laughs as well. It's well written with unexpected twists and great characters. The story grabs your attention from the start and keeps it until the last page. This is my first book by this author, but I will definitely be reading all her books.

Galatea's Revenge by Kelly McClymer

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. From rags to riches to rags to riches. Elspeth is married at 12 to a jerk who doesn't want her, so the first chance he gets, he dumps her. Then he finds out that he can't do that. Damian is such a snob, such a jerk, he really doesn't deserve Elspeth. She is softhearted, caring and kind. The story is great, it's well written, and I couldn't put it down. I would love to have read about their years together while she was young and tormented him though, the things that were hinted at sounded very interesting.

The Renegades Heart by Claire Delacroix

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A very engrossing tale with a sprinkle of human and Fae hijinks. Murdoch is a tortured soul, and Isabella is his knight in shining armor. Together they are a unique couple, in that there was no fighting nor misunderstandings, on a unique adventure. And Murdoch has become one of my favorite characters.

The Beauty Bride by Claire Delacroix

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A charming adventure full of excitement and spirit. Rhys is a lovable, broken hero. Madeline is a tough, spunky heroine. The story flows with ups and downs, laughter and tears. A very riveting tale.

New Recruit by Em Petrova

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is well written, has a great storyline and has a lot of hot sex. Jagger and Hanna are explosive together, and kind of sweet. Jagger loves to save lives, and Hanna needs saving. I will definitely be reading more of this series.

The Thirteenth Earl by Evelyn Pryce

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Well written, romantic, sometimes funny and absorbing. I really loved Thaxton and Cassandra, they are easily likable from the start. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

A Fortune For The Outlaws Daughter by Lori Robinson

I received a free copy of this book. A great story about Alaska and early gold mining. Maddie is the kind of brave woman that helped settle the wilds of America. Lucky was the kind of hero that helped tame it. Tears of pain and triumph, laughter and suspense round out this story and keeps you turning the pages until the end.

The Rogue by Claire Delacroix

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I'll start with saying that in the first half of the book I wanted to smack Merlyn and Ysabella upside the head after every conversation. They kept flip flopping about what kind of person the other was. There was a lot going on in the story that made it interesting, but I wished that there was more interaction between Merlyn and Ysabella on the occasions that they were getting along because they were funny when they were teasing each other. It was a really epic story that kept me guessing about who was doing what and who was trustworthy. I could've kept reading about everyone.

One More Sunset by Jolyse Barnett

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a well written, very intense story. Abby is a typical battered woman. She's afraid, but wants to stand up for herself. She wants and needs someone to confide in and depend on, but doesn't want anyone else in harms way. Dylan is a hero. He offered help and support and love, but also freedom. I wish there were more endings like this.

Little Red Writing by Lila DiPasqual

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Well written, very enjoyable. Nicolas needed to arrest the person illegally writing nasty stories about the nobility, and he found himself at his estranged grandmothers house investigating her and the three women living with her. His plan was to use Anne to get evidence, not fall in love with her. But an arrest had to be made.

Light My Fire by Christie Ridgway

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Great start to this interesting "family". This story is of the 2 most broken members of the Rock Royalty, Ren and Cilla. It's a fascinating story from page one and I can't wait to find out about all of the secrets in this group. I think clan is a better description of what they are because they aren't family, they aren't friends, but they do have a strong connection to each other. I loved Ren and Cilla, how vulnerable they were, how they each thought that they were alone in the world. And you could feel how much love they had to give to the right person. It is a great story.

Once Upon A Kiss by Claire Delacroix

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I love time travel stories, there are so many laughs to be had, and this story didn't disappoint. Beautifully written and interesting. It's also a very cool story, I loved the reincarnation factor. Twists and turns keep your attention avidly waiting to see what happens next. A must read book.

Signed SEALed and Delivered by Christie Ridgway

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A very good quick, sweet love at first sight story. They met in a war zone when he rescued her. She wants a home-every-night man to come home to, he is a SEAL, will they part ways, or not. Well written, clean, and romantic.

Risking It All by Christi Barth

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Two people with tragic pasts that still affects their lives, with opposite outcomes. Can a man who loves to risk his life and a woman who refuses to risk hers find common ground and find love? No bad guys in this story and I loved every character and what they contributed to the story. It's sweet, very romantic and hilarious at times (beware of eating or drinking while reading this, I almost spit out my coffee several times). A truly fabulous read. One of the most entertaining books I've read.

The Countess by Claire Delacroix

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Eglantine decides that her daughters are not going to be stuck in the same kind of arranged marriage that she had been, so she flees to Kinbeath castle in Scotland with them. Duncan was sent to Kinbeath by the King to secure it for him. Obviously both can't claim it, but who is going to leave? There is drama galore, some of it funny, some not so much, romance and suspense woven together to make a fantastic story.

The Trouble With Misbehaving by Victoria Hanlen

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Take adventure add some romance and some mystery, and bad guys everywhere and you get this story. Who did what to who? The story is intriguing from the beginning to the end, once you start reading, it's really hard to put down. Beau is a wonderful, witty, damaged hero. C.C. is a little high-handed, but her heart is in the right place. Victoria is a great storyteller and I look forward to reading more books by her.

AT Large by John W. Mefford

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Another incredible story by John. This is an exciting, intense romantic thriller that is full of twists and turns, with characters that come to life. A real page turner that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I couldn't put it down until I'd read the last sentence.

Taking Fire by Cindy Gerard

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thrill a minute romance and suspense this book is an intense read that captures your heart and imagination. The sexual tension between the characters is not over the top, just edgy. The story is full of action and brilliant. A well written, well worth it book.

Burke spins a a great story about Amy, an independent woman struggling to be her own person in a mans world, and Buck, a man struggling with the demons of his past.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a cute childrens book that my granddaughter very much enjoyed. It's cute and rhymie like Dr. Suess, and I loved reading it to her.

Jackson's Trust by Violet Duke

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. You don't have to like sports to love this book. Jackson is amazing, romantic, considerate, strong, soft hearted and smart with a good sense of humor, I want one. Leila is a strong survivor, brave, smart, and snarky, and you want to see her get everything she wants. There is romance, laughter, I couldn't imagine having Donovan and Bennet for friends and ever having a bad day, and tears, lots of tears. It kept me hooked until the end with so many twist I had to find out what happened quickly. I hope Bennett, Donovan and Mike all get books.

Lady of The Loch by John C. Ryan

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A peek back in time showing what life used to be like in Scotland. The backstabbing, the intrigues, the clan allegiances, and the happy times. There was some humor along with all the serious stuff going on. A very enjoyable book.

The Duke's Accidental Wife by Erica Ridley

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Erica Ridley knows how to tell a story. This is an engrossing tale about two completely opposite people who are more alike than not. It's funny, it's sad, and absolutely entertaining. Kate is an independent new age woman who will never answer to or be owned by a man, she lives her life as she sees fit to, not as society says she should. Ravenwood is the epitome of a high society duke, aloof, serious and dutiful. But both are a different person than what the world sees, and very much alike. I read this from beginning to end without putting it down. Erica is one of my favorite authors, her books never disappoint.

The Cleaner by Mark Dawson

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This an action story with lots of intrigue and interesting characters. It's not the best book I've ever read, but neither is it the worst, and it's definitely worth reading. I liked the story and characters and writing style enough to look forward to reading the rest of the series.

To Steal A Heart by K.C. Bateman

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Very action packed with some twists. The storyline was intriguing, Marianne is amazing, but I really never liked Nic though. I liked Raven enough to want to read his story, and Laurent too. Sophie and Andrews story would be a sweet love story. I did like this book, it's a "what next" page turner.

The Passanger by Lisa Lutz

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a fast paced, suspenseful story that begins with the question why? It takes a while before that is answered, and it's a bumpy ride to get there. The story was not bad, the characters are likable, it's just not spectacular. This is the first book I've read by this author and it was good enough for me to want to try others by her.

Playboys Baby by Emerson Rose

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is an interesting scenario to say the least. The hands-off-while-I'm-married relationship was a refreshing change from the usual romantic stories. Liam is a very lovable, sensitive and loyal guy and Lourdes is a quiet, down-to-earth sweetheart. It had a few unforeseen twists, and a few laughs. A worthwhile read.

My Tempting Highlander by Maeve Greyson

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Another great story by Maeve. This is the third book in this series and it's just as good as the other two. I love time travel romances because of the reactions the characters have in the differences between centuries, they're so funny, and this book doesn't disappoint. There is also a shape shifting aspect that fits into the story perfectly. It's very well written and the characters are wonderful. This is one of my favorite series.
