One Thing Leads to a Lover by Susanna Craig

Image
  One Thing Leads to a Lover by Susanna Craig My rating: 5 of 5 stars Amanda Bartlett is the widowed Countess of Kingston. She married at nineteen and gave the Earl two sons before he passed away. The three years since his death, she has lead a simple and quiet life. It is beginning to feel tedious. When a mysterious book lands in her possession the last thing she expected was to meet the fascinating man trying to find it. Major Langley Stanhope, as known as the Magpie, is searching for the book that has fallen into Amanda's hands. With the book in her possession, it puts her family in danger and he also has to figure out who the traitor is. Langley doesn't think the life he leads would be suitable for the delicate lady but he underestimates her daring and the desire they both share for one another. This one is so good. I liked both of these characters and the tension was good too. It had me turning pages waiting for them to finally give in. View all my reviews And if you...

Back in the Burbs by Avery Flynn and Tracy Wolff

Image
  Back in the Burbs by Avery Flynn & Tracy Wolff is now live! Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months--ever since I caught my can't-be-soon-enough ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I'm thirty-five years old, and I've lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity. But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who's ever gotten me. Even after death, though, she's helping me get back up. She's willed me the keys to a house in the burbs, of all places, and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, I've got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note) and I'm ready to fight for my life again. Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house. There are forty-seven separate HOA violations, and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly, I'm surpr...

The Devil in Her Bed by Kerrigan Byrne

Image
  The Devil in Her Bed by Kerrigan Byrne My rating: 5 of 5 stars Another Five Star read for me! This is the third book in the Devil You Know series and can be read as a standalone, I suggest starting with the first book. I know going in that Kerrigan Byrne is going to have me on an emotional rollercoaster. That first chapter was quite devastating as it laid the groundwork for Francesca's tragic childhood that lead to her current mission. The Devil of Dorset is just one of the many names he goes by. He is a man of undeniable power. Moving in and out of shadows, back alleys, and ballrooms, he is unstoppable and one of the Crown’s most dangerous weapons. When he sets his sights on the undeniably beautiful Countess of Mont Claire, Francesca Cavendish, he doesn’t realize that he has met a match like no other. Francesca is a countess by day and stalks her prey—those responsible for the death of her family—by night. What she does not expect is to be thrown into the path of the devil ...

Hawk by Kat Savage

  Release Date: February 23 What’s in this story? > A Bad Boy Tattoo Shop Owner > A Strong Single Mom  > Deliciously Hot Steam > All The Swoon > Heart Melting Moments   Hawk Tanner is not a man of many words—especially if you’re a silly girl getting a silly tattoo in his shop. The owner of Bird’s Eye Tattoo Studio doesn’t want you to tip him with your phone number or flirty glances. He’s tired of all the wrong women wanting him for all the wrong reasons.   Drew Ashby has no time—for anything. As a recently-divorced single mother, her focus is on finding a job, caring for her daughter, and rebuilding some semblance of a life after hers was wrecked.   When Drew lands a job at Bird’s Eye, sparks don’t immediately fly. She can't deny the fact that her boss is a delicious specimen of a man. His tattoo-covered skin might even drive her wild, but his brooding presence and set jaw make him hard to read.   That is, until he drops the bad-boy persona a...
