Master vs Temptress by Em Brown

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A steamy read with a good story that I enjoyed reading, but it would have been better if I had read the first two books in the series. It's hot and sexy but not raunchy. I liked the characters and will be reading the other two books.

The Playboys Convenient Bride by Kristin Frasier and Haylee Delane

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Garrett and Astrid make a good story. He's a bit of a jerk, and she's a sweetheart, everything about them is completely opposite. And that's what makes them good for each other. His idea of an engagement to please his grandfather, and saying it was Astrid he was engaged to, is a glimpse of the inner Garrett. The story flows very well and the characters are well developed.

One Weekend by Charlotte Byrd

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. What a rollercoaster ride. It's an interesting story with a lot of twists. And it actually didn't end the way I thought it was going to. And I can't say anything else without spoiling it.

Blitzing Emily by Julie Brannagh

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Brandon is a trip. In the beginning I couldn't tell if he was really sweet or a bit crazy. It's a good story, very romantic with some great comedic lines, and some tears. I liked that the Sharks were portrayed as party guys, but sweet. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Losing An Edge by Catherine Gayle

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book has a little bit of everything. Romance, suspense, action and comedy (I loved Connor). The story is well written with very real situations. Cadence being stalked and what Guy does is a lesson every girl should learn about. It's too bad that not all people in abusive relationships end up finding a person as sweet and loving as Levi. This is a book everyone should read.

Easy Innocence by Libby Hellmann

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a very well written and fascinating story. I loved the intensity of the authors writing and the twists to the story. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

My Daring Highlander by Vonda Sinclair and Dave Gillies

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Another great book by Vonda that is brilliantly read by Dave Gillies. Gotta say I'm a fan of Scots and listening to a great book read by one is awesome. Vonda and Dave have a wonderful way of drawing you in and keeping your attention. I will definitely be listening to more of Dave, especially if it's a book by Vonda.

One Tempting Proposal by Christy Carlyle

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Well written with a strong story and interesting characters. There is love, unrequited love and pretend love, along with a couple of antagonists. Five people within two families become tied together. Who ends up marrying who? You have to wait until the very end of the book to find out.

Second Chance by Rachel Hanna

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This story is full of tragedy with a sweet happily ever after ending. Shannon has been beaten down by an abusive husband for 18 years. When his death finally gives her her freedom, she finds that he still has the power to make her life miserable. Then, just when she thinks she can be happy with Tanner, tragedy strikes. This is an emotional rollercoaster, so strap in and tighten your belts.

Cardinal Points by Dory Codington

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This has more history than a traditional love story, but it does portray what some couples, married or not, went through to be together back then. This time period is interesting in itself, and the story and characters really bring it to life. The author did an amazing job mixing the history and the reality of the time with the love story to make a very enjoyable book.

Awaken by Ozlo and Priya Grey

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. First of all I have to say that if you're not into alternative lifestyles you probably won't like this book, but even though things like that usually make me uncomfortable, it wasn't uncomfortable for me to read it. The main characters are strong survivors who find that each is what the other needs. It's well written and very interesting.

Wrong For Me by Charlotte Byrd

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A very good short story that grabs you and doesn't let go. I loved the characters and the story line, so I wish it had been longer. I'm looking forward to reading this entire series.

When We Touch by Brenda Novak

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. A very good short story that grabs you and doesn't let go. I loved the characters and the story line, so I wish it had been longer. I looking forward to reading this entire series.

Don't Touch by Katy Baker

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is not a bad story, but I didn't like Damon at all though. Every character has major flaws, and it's great to see them overcome them to become better people.

The Baby Arrangement / Baby, I'm Yours / Baby, Be Mine by Samantha Chase

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The Baby Arrangement is a sweet, feel good, fantasy becomes reality story with great characters. An employee in love with the boss, the boss oblivious until she makes herself indispensable. It is well written and once you start reading it, you can't put it down. Baby I'm Yours is a sweet getting together years after a one night stand story. He'll do whatever it takes to make them a family and prove himself trustworthy. She finds her heart melting when he happily accepts their daughter and starts being daddy immediately upon meeting her. Baby Be Mine is a perfect storm story. Olivia is home taking a break from her life when her childhood crush has his twin babies deposited on his doorstep. She gets guilted into helping him take care of them and they create a family that neither of them wants to give up. These are great characters that are very likable and an inspiring story.

The Lost Tudor Princess by Alison Weir

 I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the story of Margaret Douglas, who isn't very well known. You learn a lot about the fascinating life of Margaret, the intrigues, the controversy. It is very well written with a wealth of interesting information, without reading like a text book. A must read for English Tudor buffs.

Leaving Yesterday by Zoe Dawson

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Awesome story and very well written. There were a lot of characters, but the author managed to let you get to know them all on a pretty good level. Different issues with different people make this a town love story, not just a couple love story. One of the best books I've read, I can't wait to read more in this series.

Salty Sky by Seth Coker

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is an utterly captivating and thrilling story. So intense and well written it pulls you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The characters are edgy and real. A totally enjoyable book.

A Whisper of Desire by Bronwen Evans

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. An intriguing story of love, friendship, suspense and betrayal. A story that keeps you riveted, turning page after page, to see what will happen next. It has a very unusual HEA with a not so HEA part. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series.

Shameless by Joan Johnston

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Getting pregnant by a married man is a stupid mistake that changes the lives of many people. Moving from Australia to the US is the only way to save face. Dealing with 4 jealous aunts and being caught in an old feud is aggravating. Finding out that your dead mother isn't dead is mind blowing and hurtful. This is a well written look at how a decision by one person adversely affects everything, including the next generation. Lots happening in an enjoyable read.
