Lucky Kiss – Sealed In Love

The duo sisters of Melanie and Shawna have been one of my all time top favorites and have read all their books; the Sloans being one of their most sizzling and charming creations to date, closely followed by the Hope Falls Series. And to date Hope Falls continue to home some amazing love stories – Something in the air for sure 😉

LuckyKiss-HopeFalls12-MelaneShawn-Oct2015

Book 12 in the series “Lucky Kiss” tames another the MMA alpha Lucas Dorsey as he falls for the fiery firefighter  Bad boy and all Lucky is on a break from MMA and where better to get plenty of R&R than Hope Falls. There’s magic in the air, romance in the wind and the citizens of Hope Falls sure know how to match-make unsuspecting people.

As they get to know each other, Lucky and Deanna have a multitude of insecurities to overcome. As they give into their sparks of attraction, painful pasts become an obstacle to a relationship. But then with the help and support of a wonderful family, the unconditional support of extended family and friends, and with the past making peace with the present, Lucky and Deanna just have to have their HEA.

It always gives me immense pleasure to read this sister duo of Melanie and Shawna as they continue to tease the readers with heartwarming love stories and amazing characters, who are just perfectly imperfect! What I love about their stories is the ease of their narration filled with so much humor and charm. I want a good love story to brighten my day, give me warm fuzzies and make my heart flutter, then Melanie Shawn it is for me.

Received an ARC from the author for an honest review.

The synopsis sounded great, the cover was romantic, unfortunately the story lacked depth and character. The second book in The Palmera Royals, “The Royal Affair” is lackluster in its narration and failed to dazzle me with its royalty.

TheRoyalAffair-PalmeraRoyals2-JaneBeckenham-June2015

The premise of the story is actually really good. A royal princess with beauty and charm, Marina Palmera is smart, independent and super successful running her own thriving horse racing business. She falls in love with the successful horse whisperer Jonas Wilder but circumstances break them apart. And now fate brings them back together for a second chance.

As good as the story line may be, if the characters are not developed properly, it’s hard for a reader to relate to them or be with them. For all their success and individuality, I just couldn’t relate to Jonas and Marina or the way the story developed or was narrated. Neither was I very impressed with the journey to their happily ever after.

But I definitely believe Jane Beckenham has lot of potential and I hope with every book, she reaches success. With good grasp of language and creativity, it is only a matter of time for her to become a good writer, and I may circulate back to her.

Lust, fantasies, romance and love – “The Billionaire’s Fantasy” of Javien Rodriguez gets more than he bargained for when he decides to have a one-night stand with Louise Jensen. With a past tainted with street gangs, death and prison time, Javien has made himself into a power-house of running JR Shipping and making more money than he ever dreamed of yet, nothing can erase the guilt of his past.

TheBillionairesFantasy-ForbiddenSeries3-KateHewitt-Jul2015

Louise Jensen has her own demons to fight yet she can’t seem to resist the magnetism of Javien. As wild as the sex is and fulfilling fantasies that she never would have dreamed of, her abusive past stops her from opening herself completely to Javein or make any commitments.

Despite the hang-ups, both can’t seem to stay away from each other. Temptation is stronger than fears, want and need for each other above insecurities and the lure of having someone to care for bring Javien and Louise together.

This is as good a story as it gets. Kate Hewitt shows her writing prowess when she created Javien and Louise as two broken characters with a turbulent relationship. Independent, strong and stubborn, they annoy each other to the point of breakup. Kate keeps the emotions and fears of these two above all as she explores the relationship filled with desire and love.

Of all the three books of The Forbidden Series, this is definitely my favorite and Javien holds a special place with me. Captivating and sizzling, “The Billionaire’s Fantasy” is another captivating read.

Book four of the “Fairy Tales of New York” brings Faith Sullivan her very own Prince Charming and her happily ever after.

Running her father’s pub, sacrificing her desire of being a artist to help her father run their family pub leaves no room for Faith Sullivan to socialize or romance. All she’s got is her four friends and their unconditional love and support along with her alpha brothers.

Fate brings the rich baron Rafael Quartermain into her pub and her life suddenly is filled with romance and companionship. Along with testing his new beer in the pub, he is smitten with Faith and wants to test the sparks that ignited between them.

Short and sweet, romantic and charming, emotional and heartwarming, Amy Andrews delivers Faith’s fairy tale of a story in “Seduced By The Baron”, with finesse and sizzle. Truly heartwarming and enjoyable as Faith and Rafael get there very own happy ending.

The second fairy tale of the “Fairy Tales Of New York” is utterly charming and temptation galore. These tales are  impossible to resist and the four girlfriends are too beautiful and classy not to fall in love with them and their lives. And Zelda has her day “Tempting The Knight” into submission!

TemptingTheKnight-FairyTalesOfNY2-HeidiRice-Jun 2015

They say bad girls have all the fun and Zelda Madison is living proof of that. Losing parents at a young age and being ignored by her only brother, she’s got some serious issues with fate that took her to the pinnacle of being a super model. And that same fate lands her in jail and Tyrone Sullivan imprisons her heart.

Tyrone Sullivan has his hands full when he rescues Zelda and a history with her that makes him stand in judgment of her life. Circumstances have Zelda sharing his boathouse and that rocks their lives as they succumb to the attraction. But Zelda has an addictive past that threatens their future, and Tyrone refuses to be anything but her knight in shining armor, supporting her and giving her his heart forever.

Cute, charming and with enough sizzle to zap the brains, Heidi Rice did a great job weaving a fairy tale around Zelda and Ty. Loved the flow of the story and the interconnecting links among the friends. And I loved the emotion packed scenes between Zelda and her beast of a brother!
