A short and quick read, Caitlin Crews takes on the enigmatic and royal Zair Al Ruyi and the innocent Nora Grant on a ride of danger, corruption and passion in the second book of the Forbidden Series, “The Billionaire’s Innocent”.

TheBillionairesInnocent--ForbiddenSeries2-CaitlinCrew-Jul2015

A frantic search of her missing best friend lands Nora in the midst of sex trafficking and drugs. Posing as a prostitute, Nora hopes to find her friend, but ends up being escorted by her childhood friend, Zair Al Ruyi, who wants to protect and keep her innocent of the evil that walks the world.

Zair may be royalty, but his royal relatives are in the throes of drug and flesh trafficking and Zair has been covertly aiding in bringing them down. Seeing Nora brings fore the love and lust he had as they were growing up. And now finding her right in the middle of a dangerous situation brings out his protective instincts and desire.

Fast paced, intense and sizzling, “The Billionaire’s Innocent” keeps you quiet entertained and captivated. And Caitlin Crews doesn’t need an introduction as she gives us another passionate read.

The Billionaire’s Intern – Intense And Passionate

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
July 5, 2015

Whatever books I’ve read of Maisey Yates, have been fun, lighthearted and warm. So “The Billionaire’s Intern” sure did catch me off guard and I like the dark side of Maisey Yates too.

TheBillionaire'sIntern-ForbiddenSeries1-MaiseyYates

Book one of “The Forbidden Series” is dark, intense and fiery in its narration. She brings back Logan Black literally from the dead and for Logan; the world is for his taking. Shipwrecked and surviving on an island for four years before he made it to the mainland, leaves Logan with enough nightmares. Keeping himself locked in his ivory tower he can neither escape the guilt nor the blood that is on his hands. And Addison may very well be his only salvation.

Witness to her corrupt father’s assassination leaves Addison Treffen in a cloak of scandal that alienates her from finishing college, friends and her life. Knowing her father was responsible for heinous crimes and flesh trade drowns Addison into sadness of a man who was a monster, yet a father to her. Wanting to escape the ghosts of her past brings her to Logan Black as his assistant.

Sparks fly, empathy surfaces and love blossoms, yet Logan and Addison have a lot of pain, fear and insecurities to face before they can make a future. Maisey Yates does a good penmanship of Addison and Logan as two individuals trying to swim against the depth of emotions and find a shallow landing to give their love a chance to survive.

Here’s another charming diamond in the rough short novella by Catherine Mann.

“Pursued By The Rich Rancher”, single mother Nina Lowery is not sure if she is ready to be bowled over by the sexy and millionaire, Alex McNair. Her plate is full with taking care of her autistic son, who is her entire world and getting over a past of pain and fear. Coming to the McNair ranch means only thing to her and that is for her son to be a part of the camp for special needs children.

But Alex McNair falls head over heels in love with Nina, and pursues her relentlessly to gain her affection and love. Granted he is yet to tell her that his stake in the McNair estate rests in Nina’s and her son’s hands, and he may lose everything once his secret is exposed.

A really sweet and emotional story of a mother trying to give her son the best possible resources to overcome autism and lead as normal a life can be, and a warm and kind hearted millionaire wanting to give the lady he loves all the good things she deserves in life, and Catherine Mann does what she is best at – writing a charming love story that pleases the palette and keeps the romance in our hearts glowing.

The Marriage Season – Bonding Of Love And Friendship

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
May 24, 2015

Don’t recall if I’ve read Linda Lael Miller before, but “The Marriage Season” was a captivating introduction for me to her Brides Of Bliss County Series.

It’s great that “The Marriage Season” can be read as a stand-alone and having read this now, I need to go back and read about Becca Stuart’s two best friends, Hadleigh and Melody and their love stories.

TheMarriageSeason-LindaLaelMiller-May2015

Gosh!!! I fell in love with Becca Stuart the minute I started reading of her. Having lost the love of her life to war, she puts all her energy and time in growing her fitness business. Mature, loving, kind and ever helpful, family means a lot to her and has her being supportive of her sister and her problems. Her friends keep her grounded even as she shoves the guilt and fear of love under behind the walls of her heart. But Tate Calder brings back that yearning, companionship and love that’s been missing in her life.

Tate Calder is trying to set roots along with his two sons. Having lost his wife and raising his sons alone, he wants to give his family stability and lay a foundation of love and support. Bex fits the bill perfectly but Tate’s got his job cut out to convince Bex that she is the one he wants to have a forever with, and that life is all about taking risks and living in the moment.

A heart-warming story of friendship, love and family, Linda Lael Miller gives us two exceptionally great characters in Bex and Tate, as they try to work through their fears and insecurities, and build on the passion and love they have for each other. With witty banter between the two, the amazing chemistry of enjoying each other’s company, and the seductive narration by Linda, “The Marriage Season” is a beautifully crafted love story.

Hold Me – With Trust And Love

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
April 26, 2015

The charming series of Fool’s Gold is still as charming, sweet and romantic as Susan Mallery gets ready to release Book 16, “Hold Me”. I don’t think I can ever get tired of reading this series, no matter how many get published. Mallery always manages to keep her readers dazzled with her romances.

HoldMe-FoolsGold-apr2015

Destiny Mills comes to Fool’s Gold, leaving behind a legacy of music and choosing a profession to help with streamlining search and rescue operations. Passion, love and trust sounds great only in the lyrics of a song, and she has seen it been destroyed. Although working closely with the world-class skier sure puts a dent in her heart and makes her question her feelings to love and trust.

An accident and an end to his career doesn’t deter Kipling from seeking thrills as he runs the Fool’s Gold S&R, and having Destiny on his team only wants him to take more chances and this time in the game of love. And all he wants to do is hold Destiny in his arms of love and trust, and never let her go.

Then again the path of love is never easy, and convincing Destiny to open her heart is a challenge that Kip wants to win…forever. Another nice and enticing love story weaved by Susan Mallery, in the dazzling town of Fool’s Gold.
