A man from another time...


Faelan is from an ancient clan of Scottish Highland warriors, charged with shielding humanity from demonic forces. Betrayed and locked in a time vault, he has been sleeping for nearly two centuries when spunky historian Bree Kirkland inadvertently wakes him. She's more fearsome than the demon trying to kill him, and if he's not careful, she'll uncover the secrets his clan has bled and died to protect...

Could be the treasure she's been seeking all her life...

When Bree inherits an old treasure map, she discovers a warrior buried in her backyard. But the warrior isn't dead. Bree shocks Faelan with her modern dress and her boldness, and he infuriates Bree every time he tries to protect her.

With demons suddenly on the move, Bree discovers that Faelan's duty as protector is in his blood, and that her part in this fight was destined before she was born. But nothing is ever what it seems... description taken from here.



Anita Clenney is a debut author who did a wonderful job with this book!  Awaken the Highland Warrior is the first book in the first book in the time-travel trilogy (unfortunately I do not know the name of the series though!).  The second book is called Embrace the Highland Warrior and the third is Unleash the Highland Warrior.

The plot of this book is great. Personally, I love time traveling books, especially when the men come into the future. I is just so funny how they bock at almost everything and get so confused over the tiniest item, behavior or event. That said, Faelan is shocked by Bree's clothes, how she acts and the new speech of the time.


The characters are cute and likable. The romance is there with some action mixed it. Faelan is really cute in his actions, a great hero!  The book is enjoyable. I really liked it.



Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!

A maiden who will not marry


For the lovely Lady Audris, taking a husband would mean losing her home. She is content to concentrate on her special gift, weaving gorgeous tapestries that often contain hints of the future. But nothing predicts the arrival of Hugh Licorne, confident in his strength and single-minded in his determination-to have her.

A battle-hardened knight who needs a bride

From the moment Hugh sets eyes on Lady Audris, he knows he has found the woman destined to be his wife. She's courageous and beautiful, delicate yet strong. But winning her trust and defending her from her enemies will be the greatest battle he has ever faced. description taken from here.




The book is a reprint and I am glad it is, otherwise o never would have discovered this book. I love historical romances as much as the next girl (ok maybe a bit more the next girl!).



I absolutely adore the plot! It one of those plots that is made for you, like it was taken out of your day-dreams (at least there from my day dreams).


The characters are good as well as the story; it was well written.  The book was entertaining. The ending, while it was adequate, was lacking in my opinion. Something sweeter would have been a bit better in my opinion.






Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!

She's a self-made city girl...


High-powered career woman Austin Lanier suddenly finds herself saddled with an inherited watermelon farm deep in the countryside. She's determined to sell the farm, until her new, drop-dead sexy neighbor Rye O'Donnell shows up...



He's as intoxicating as can be...

Rancher Rye O'Donnell thinks he's going to get a good deal on his dream property-until he meets the fiery new owner. Rye is knocked sideways when he realizes that not only is Granny Lanier's city-slicker granddaughter a savvy businesswoman, she's also sexy as hell...

Suddenly Rye is a whole lot less interested in real estate and a whole lot more focused on getting Austin to set aside her stiletto heels... description taken from here.




Brown already has 2 cowboy series out there (Honky Tonk series and another cowboy trilogy series.)


This book is from a NEW cowboy trilogy Spikes and Spurs, this being the first book in the new series.

I have read one or two of Brown's cowboy books before and they are always good and very cute. So I had some high expectations when I heard about this new book. And it sure met those expectations too!  The characters are fun loving and especially cute. The story line is chock full of funny parts and is all around amazing. 

If you can't tell, I really enjoyed reading this book. If you like cowboys (and c'mon who does like cowboys?!) you should read some of Carolyn Brown's books.

A warrior with questionable intentions . . .



Jamie Lost is the king’s most renowned commander, a fearless lieutenant ordered to kidnap an exiled priest before rebel forces close in. The mission is simple—until he meets a mysterious thief who will steal his quarry and then his heart.


A lady of remarkable courage . . .


Beautiful Eva is also seeking Father Peter, but she intends to protect him from a secret that could cost him his life. She senses that she, too, should fear Jamie—not just for his wickedly sharp sword and dangerously muscular body, but for the powerful longing he ignites within her.


A secret that could overthrow the king.


When a band of mercenaries abducts the priest, Jamie and Eva must form a volatile alliance. As civil war unfolds around them, they embark on an epic journey that betrays the truth about their hidden identities, their unexpected loyalties, and the simmering attraction that could seal their fates forever. description taken from here.

I really enjoyed the way Kennedy worded her book with the more realistic monologue of the time. 

The beginning of the book had me a bit confused though.. The first sentence of the book is "At first, it appeared they both wanted the same cock."  Now, I know the rest of you have as dirty a mind as me, but I honestly thought that maybe the setting was going to be in a gentleman's club or a brothel or such thing.  Well, turns out that 'cock' is an old word for 'chicken'.  (You learn something new everyday, huh?)

But, besides that first sentence, I was still somewhat confused with the beginning.  The question
of the day seemed to be who is good and who is bad, really?  One moment I thought a character might be bad, then it turns around to good, and within a page or two the character sounds like the bad guy again.

The confusion of that first sentence aside though, it was a good book that held my attention.  (And, the sex scenes were pretty darn good too.)  The characters are loveable and fun and the action is great.  I enjoyed reading this book and the historical aspects of it were wonderful!

Even in Grundy, Alaska, it’s unusual to find a naked guy with a bear trap clamped to his ankle on your porch. But when said guy turns into a wolf, recent southern transplant Mo Wenstein has no difficulty identifying the problem. Her surly neighbor Cooper Graham—who has been openly critical of Mo’s ability to adapt to life in Alaska—has trouble of his own. Werewolf trouble.



For Cooper, an Alpha in self-imposed exile from his dysfunctional pack, it’s love at first sniff when it comes to Mo. But Cooper has an even more pressing concern on his mind. Several people around Grundy have been the victims of wolf attacks, and since Cooper has no memory of what he gets up to while in werewolf form, he’s worried that he might be the violent canine in question.

If a wolf cries wolf, it makes sense to listen, yet Mo is convinced that Cooper is not the culprit. Except if he’s not responsible, then who is? And when a werewolf falls head over haunches in love with you, what are you supposed to do anyway? The rules of dating just got a whole lot more complicated. . . .  description taken from here.


Adorable.   That one word sums of this book pretty darn perfectly.  It was so cute and funny and I just loved it.  And, I just found out as of 3 minutes ago, about the newest book in the series, The Art Of Seducing A Naked Werewolf, that I will defiantly be getting my hand on asap.

Characters were halarious and easy to love.  The setting was great and I loved the mini dramas between Mo and her hippie parents that wouldn't stop calling.  The testosterone wars going on were great as well (mini dramas everywhere!)

The romance was great.  No sweet talk at first.  The first real 'converstaion' between Mo and Cooper was basically something like "yes I'm naked but I have a bear trap stuck to my foot, mind pulling it off for me?"  I just loved Harper's concept, her writing style and her end result.

If you do not already have this book, you should go order one or swing by your closet book store because this book is worth getting.

The steamy second book in Janet Chapman’s dazzling Midnight Bay series seduces readers with an enticing tale of a fiery independent woman and an irresistible immortal warrior with a dragon’s courageous heart.



Maddy Kimble has no time for a suitor—not with caring for her spunky nursing home patients, her shy nine-year-old daughter, her widowed mother, and her rebellious teenage brother. William Kilkenny’s stunning lack of modern dating protocol doesn’t help. The man is uncouth and outrageous—a towering, drop-dead, breathtakingly hot warrior. Who refuses to give up.


William is secretly a ninth-century Irish nobleman formerly trapped in a dragon’s body. All Maddy knows is that lately, she can hardly resist the urge to lose herself in his powerful arms. But as their uncontrollable passion grows, eerie occurrences in her small coastal Maine town begin to rouse Maddy’s suspicions about her lover. He begs her to trust him, but how can she surrender—body and soul—when she fears the danger he poses to her yearning heart? Description taken from here.



I was literally laughing my butt off by page 5.  I am not joking at all.  The characters were excellently made and the plot was gorgeous.  I loved this book so much. While the book was hilarious, it also had a backbone which made the book that much sweeter, because it carried a perfect depth and description.  I just loved this book.  Period.


This is the second book in the series.  The first being Moonlight Warrior (which I may or may not have reviewed, I honestly cannot remember for the life of me.)  I put the book down somewhere around the middle of the book and never picked it up again.  I was making myself read it, it just was not catching my attention at all.  And, reading this book, I cannot fathom why I did not like that book.  The characters that were in the first book are also in this one, and I like them.  The only thing I can think of is that I was just not in the mood for that kind of book (paranormal). I go through spurts you see, for a few weeks I cannot get enough of historical romances, and then I turn to paranormals and so on.  So, I am going to go pick up a copy of the first book (that of course I don't own anymore) and read it, because I know I am going to love it since I loved this one so dang much.

So yes, I loved this book and I will suggest this book to anyone who will stand there long enough to listen to me (even those people that I know don't read much). 

Because I keep saying - you would love to read and you would keep on reading if only you would find the right book. 

And girlies, this is the right kind of book!

Sinners’ lead singer, Sed, had his heart shredded when Jessica left him to pursue her dreams,so when she dances her way back into his life, he's not sure he's ready for her brand of pain, or pleasure, again. When she convinces Sed to engage in a benefits with benefits relationship, things seem to be going his way, until one of his fans catches their explicit public display of affection on film and posts it all over the internet. Will Jessica ever trust Sed again? And has Sed become the man of Jessica’s dreams or is he just posing to get what he wants? description taken from here.



-------

I would say Best Book Ever.  But I can't, because then I would be putting Olivia's first Sinners Series book on the back burner, and I can't do that because I love Brian and his book Backstage Pass.  So, in this case I have to say BEST SERIES EVER!

If you can't tell, I love Miss Olivia's brilliant mind, not to mention her smokin' hot books about the rockers of your wildest dreams.

Sed is that amazing front man singer that you just want to wrap yourself around.  Common girls, you know what I mean, we are always looking at those hot singers before our eyes wander (if they even look away) to the rest of the band members.  I think I actually had some tears sliding down my cheeks at one point or another, I just cannot remember for sure though because I was so enraptured in the book.

The characters you have to fall in love with (even if you do get jealous of those fictional women), they are just that amazing.  They embed themselves in your heart and I'm not sure if they will ever let go.  Plots from Cunning are always amazing it seems; what can I say, I just love these books!

The only thing I can say about this specific book is that the cover irks me.  Don't get me wrong, it's gorgeous and sexy and I like it.  But I'm whining because there was a cover before this one came into play that I already had fallen in love with, and to me, it felt like it fit in with Brian's cover more so, and I think that's why I loved it so much; because it was like a perfect little puzzle piece to another gorgeous part.  And, because I'm nice, I added the original cover pic below...




When you go to pick up your copy though, just remember that you are looking for the purple cover (the first one posted) and not this one.


Besides that (which really isn't a problem) I am smitten =)

Baking shows have never been better. These shows were once reserved only for women who were very good at teaching people how to cook great meals that are not very hard. Now, the baking show has come into the twenty-first century. The hosts are more interesting. The foods are spicier. The stories are more exciting.

The best baking show on television is Bitchin' Kitchen. The Bitchin' Kitchen program is my favorite program to watch on satellite TV from http://www.bestchoicetv.com/satellite-tv/mn/. It is such a hilarious show. Everything is so crazy and ridiculous. Nadia G came up with it and thought it would be a great baking show. She was totally right. They have all sorts of exciting theme shows. They talk about things like Break-Up Brunches and One-Night Stand Breakfast recipes. The best of the best is the Rehab Ravioli. It is so delicious and can actually cure hangovers. I don't know anywhere else that I can find food like this. All of Nadia's recipes are great and easy, and she is so much fun to watch sashay her way around the kitchen. Truth be told, I have a little crush on her.

Bitchin' Kitchen has a really enjoyable youthful energy to it. I really like the light attitude and nice breezy feel that this show has. There is nothing else like it on television. The Bitchin' Kitchen is my kind of kitchen.

When two people make beautiful music together onstage, can their love survive once the curtain falls? Linnea Larson is willing to do anything to keep her family's Minneapolis dinner theatre from going under. Anything, that is, besides accepting a date from the Hollywood hunk her father hired to inject a dose of star power into their production of Guys & Dolls. It's a toss up whether his greatest claim to fame is playing a superhero on screen, or a super stud off screen. Neither fact convinces her he's got what it takes to share her stage. And thanks to a life long pact with her best friend, she never dates actors. Christi Barth contacted me a little while back asking if I would like to review her book.  Act Like We're In Love sounded like a lot of fun so of course I said yes.  The book is a complete joy, something I would definitely reach for when looking for an easy read on the beach.



Luke Powell has fame, fortune, and an endless string of women, but also a lingering dissatisfaction with his picture perfect life. Looking for a change, he escapes to his theatrical roots. What he finds are wary cast mates, a nervous best friend convinced the show will ruin Luke's career, and an adorable costar who stubbornly refuses to go out with him. Suddenly singing and dancing aren't the only challenges he'll tackle over the summer. Far from the spotlights of Hollywood, can he find happiness in the footlights of a tiny theatre?

Despite Luke dragging her into his daily paparazzi nightmare, Linnea can't deny her mounting attraction to his irresistible charm. And even if she's crazy enough to chance getting involved, their fling would have a guaranteed expiration date. He's leaving at the end of the run, and she's tied to her family's theatre. Why risk the inevitable heartbreak? Their job is to act like they're in love, but will they decide it's worth the leap to fall in love for real? description taken from here.

MY REVIEW


The characters are well developed and very like-able, yet it was a bit difficult to keep all of the minor characters in order because there were so many of them.  The story line was fun and entertaining, and the Barth's tone, as well as her writing style, throughout the book was also very pleasing to read.  While I did enjoy this book very much, I would not say that it is a favorite of mine.  That said, I would still definitely recommend it to anyone who likes romance novels, for it was very cute.

You can get the book in both print and in ebook format.  For purchasing the ebook format (through Amazon.com) click here for $6.95 and you can purchase the print version here for $14.64

MY INTERVIEW WITH CHRISTI BARTH

What was your inspiration for Act Like We're In Love?
I spent much of my life performing in musical theatre and opera. There is a wonderful intimacy inherent to being in a cast that lends itself to a romance. I wanted to share with the world the absolute joy of being on stage. And the 'disdain' theatre actors have for movie/tv actors is very real, which gave me a conflict to work with right off the bat.
What was your favorite scene in Act Like We're In Love to write?
My favorite scene was the last scene. I am an unapologetic romantic, so the chance for them to profess their love and revel in a happy ending was by far the most fun. I had to remind myself there was an actual time limit inherent to the action in the story, and I couldn't just have them go on and on for ten pages about what a wonderful life they'll share.
What was the hardest scene to write? And why?
Without a doubt, the love scene. I guess as a romance author I shouldn't admit this, but love scenes are brutal to craft. You can only say he stroked such and such body part so many times, so many ways. The actual writing becomes very clinical and leaches all the sexiness out of it for me.
I love the title. How did you come up with it?
The original working title was Love Duet. But it just didn't sound sexy and fun enough, and by about chapter ten I realized I had to go back to the idea well. Once I started re-thinking it, the title came to me very quickly, and I had to pat myself on the back for coming up with a title that practically wrote the back cover blurb for me!
Who designed the cover?
I'll claim credit for the design, but not the execution. I had just finished reading Louisa Edward's On the Steamy Side and loved her cover of a stack of pans with a men's tie across it. Happily, it gave me the inspiration for my cover (and when I saw her at a conference this summer, I thanked her profusely for sparking that idea). Eternal Press gave me a talented staff member Ally Robertson who made my vision a reality.

Do you have any current projects you are working on, or maybe future projects you are mapping out?
Always! I finished my third book Cruising Toward Love which answers the question can an unexplained breakup and ten years of heartache be cured by the romance – and endless buffets – of a tropical cruise? Right now I am at the beginning of a trilogy based in Chicago. The first book Planning for Love centers around a wedding planner - lots of room for bridezilla horror stories and hijinks!
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
As I mentioned earlier, the love scenes are a habitual nail biter for me. The overriding challenge, though, is the conflict. My stories are character driven, and there is nothing I enjoy more than writing pages and pages of witty banter. My super-soft heart hates to inject the necessary conflict - over and over again - so painful to put my beloved characters through the wringer.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
Everything I know about writing romance I learned from reading Nora Roberts. Sure, I've readed hundreds of other authors, but I feel as if her novels are the primer for my technique.
If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book?
Of course! When I went back to proofread the galley, I found several places where I would've deepened the characterization, or added a little more setting. In hindsight, it is easy to spot holes. Deep in the midst of churning out 96,000 words, you can't see the forest for the trees. But overall, I am very pleased with this book, and hope everyone who reads it walks away with a smile on their face.
What book are you reading now?
Brava, Valentine for fun, and Stiff for my book club
How can fans connect with you?
my website, http://www.christibarth.com/
Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?
I will quote just about every other author asked this question and say - put your butt in the chair and WRITE!!! And after that, find a critique group - it is an invaluable part of the process.
Tell us a little about the road to publication. Was it difficult?
Difficult in the sense that the first agent I queried didn't drop everything and drive to my door with balloons and waving a contract. That was a shock! Because if you don't honestly think your writing is brilliant, you won't have the confidence to go out there and try to sell it to the world. So yes, I have a stack of rejections, but my years as an actor (auditioning endlessly and getting turned down for as many roles as I was cast) gave me the perseverance to keep sending out query letters until I found someone who loved this book as much as I do.
Describe yourself in 5 words.
Logical, sarcastic, witty, loyal, loving.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest that you would like to share with us?
I am enamored of Gail Carriger's new Parasol Protectorate series. Louise Marley wrote an amazing book called Mozart's Blood I encourage everyone to read. And Josh Bazell's Beat the Reaper is laugh out loud funny - for fans of The Sopranos out there.
Would you like to say anything specific to your readers?
THANK YOU!!!! Truly, I just want my books to entertain, to lift your spirits and carry you away from your everyday life. The fact that you would spare a little time from today's overscheduled world to read my words is humbling and wonderful.


Christi-  Act Like We're In Love was definetly entertaining and I will be recommending it to all of my book loving friends.  I can't wait to get my hands on your other books!

Thanks Christi!!



Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!

Shayla Black NEW RELEASE!!

Posted by mista
This Tuesday (March 1st) Shayla Black's newest book in the Wicked Lovers series (book #4) is going to be released!  


Get ready to run to the bookstore!!





A secret fantasy.

Hunter had everything until a bullet put his career as a Navy SEAL on hold. Restless and in need of distraction, he accepts an intriguing proposition. Restless and uncertain about his future, he accepts an intriguing proposition: share an acquaintance’s girlfriend and fulfill her fantasy of a ménage. It should have been just a night of sexual adventure between three consenting adults. But Kata is like no other girl Hunter has ever met. By turns audacious and sexy, then vulnerable and aloof, she’s a heartbreaker he’s determined to master. But he needs more than one night. And he wants to do it alone.

An uncontrollable obsession.

Kata never expected to leave her comfortable relationship and explore something so dangerously forbidden with a stranger. Hard as she tries to resist, the guilty pleasure overwhelms her, and she surrenders herself, inch by inch, to the hardcore man who wants her for himself. Consumed by blazing desire, they’re soon threatened by the shadows of the past. And now to keep Kata safe, Hunter makes her a bold proposition of his own. Saying yes will destroy her heart. But saying no could cost Kata her life. description taken from here.











Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!

HE VOWED HED COME FOR HER . . .


Murdered before he could wed Regin the Radiant, warlord Aidan the Fierce seeks his beloved through eternity, reborn again and again into new identities, yet with no memory of his past lives.

SHE AWAITS HIS RETURN . . .

When Regin encounters Declan Chase, a brutal Celtic soldier, she recognizes her proud warlord reincarnated. But Declan takes her captive, intending retribution against all immortals—unaware that he belongs to their world.

TO SATE A DESIRE MORE POWERFUL THAN DEATH . . .

Yet every reincarnation comes with a price, for Aidan is doomed to die when he remembers his past. To save herself from Declan’s torments, will Regin rekindle memories of the passion they once shared—even if it means once again losing the only man she could ever love?





Ok, before I start ranting and raving about how much I loved this book, take a good long look at the cover.  It is simply gorgeous.  I am starting to get jealous of the photographers of these covers, what about the rest of you?

Alright, onto the wonderful world of Kresley Cole... I love this series and you should all know it by now.  I am seriously and deeply in love with this series.  DREAMS OF A DARK WARRIOR is the 10th book in the Immortals After Dark series.  To check out more about the series, go to Kresley's website here.

In the preface of the book alone I was tempted to cry.  And, for the first good portion of the book I wondered if there could be a happy ending for the doomed lovers.  But, (obviously as a romance book) the story turned around for the two and a happy ending was found.  Along the way there were twists and turns (all of them exciting and had me rushing through the pages to find out what would happen next).

To be a little blunt here, for me to start talking about how good the plot is, or how well developed the characters are would be unnecessary because (for those of you who have read Cole's other books) we all know the plot is amazing and the characters are even better than the plot itself.  If you have not read a Kresley Cole book before (is that even possible?!) then trust me when I say you will love her books if you love romance novels.  You will love her books if you like paranormal (she also writes historicals!).  You will just love her books.

To get a taste of DREAMS OF A DARK WARRIOR, you can read an excerpt on Cole's website here.

He might be too good to be true...

Ben Walsh shouldn't be single. Handsome and wealthy, Ben is equally at home in Idaho where he grew up and in Manhattan where he's now an art dealer. Suave and successful with impeccable taste, he normally has women beating down his door. But the one woman he wants can't be convinced that he's for real...

She isn't sure if she has time for fairy tales...

Gina Reyez has fought for every bit of her success, and it's about time for things to start going her way. So when Ben makes a proposal that will allow her to take care of her family the way she wants to, she agrees. Besides, a guy this perfect would never be interested in her...right? By the time Gina figures out that she's read Ben all wrong, the arrangements are made, the papers are signed...but what exactly are they getting themselves into? description taken from here.





When I first read the description for this book, I knew I was going to love it.  It sounded like it had one of those plots that was written specifically for me.  The characters were well written and fun to read.  The plot was interesting and refreshing, and I loved the little twists and turns. 

I found it pretty funny how Gina thought Ben was gay.  Poor guy, can you image your 'fake' wife thinking you're gay?  But, I really enjoyed reading the book.  I had not previously read any of Kaye's books.  Actually, I had never before heard of her name and had known about this series.  But, I will be looking for her other books today when I go to the book store. 


YOURS FOR THE TAKING is the 4th book in Kaye's Domestic Gods series, but you can easily read it on its own without being confused.

Guest post written by Sharon Parks







I think that one of the toughest things about writing for a living is remembering why you love doing it. Most people don't associate work with what they love, so when you do what you love for a living, it's easy to forget that you loved it in the first place. But I'm making a resolution this year to do some more writing outside of work for fun.

It's been a long time since I tried to get any of my fiction writing published and when I was online with my clear-internet, I found some up and coming literary magazine that I decided I should submit some work to.


My writing New Year's resolution is to try and write a short story each month. I think that's a fair timeline, especially since I have a full time job that I have to keep up with. Plus, I'm a little rusty in the fiction writing department so it will get me back in the swing of things.
