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!

Pursued By The Rogue – Devilishly Roughish!!!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Who doesn’t love fairy tales? And when those fairy tales are made of devilishly handsome males and sinfully beautiful females, with so many hang-ups and insecurities, it only adds more charm and sizzle as readers relate to their fears in life.

PursuedByTheRogue-FairyTalesOfNY-KellyHunter-Jun2015

And the “Fairy Tales Of New York” are just that and some more. Co-written by four talented and lovable authors, the series is just pure magic and pixie dust as they take us on the journey of four friends through their life.

First in the series, “Pursued By The Rogue”, is just that. Supremely intelligent and hardworking Dawn Turner has made a name for herself in genetic testing and runs her own company. But all the fame and money doesn’t erase the fear of genetics running in her family nor do they help in fading the memories of the sinful Finbar Sullivan.

One night ten years ago changes all and ten years later, one glance changes her future. Fin is a world-class concert pianist and one glance from Dawn is all it takes to start where they left off.

I just loved, loved this story!!!!! It’s beautiful in its love, rich in its friendship and support, deep in emotions as Dawn struggles with the possibility of a genetic disease and Fin solidifies his stand right next to her, and powerful with its chemistry and strength of families.

And Kelly Hunter is dead on with her writing prowess!!

Deal With The Devil – Gamble With Life

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 16, 2015

The fourth book in “The Purgatory Series”, Cynthia Eden finally gives us Eric Pate, the devil to reckon. Being the Director of the special FBI Para Unit is no mean task nor is it a bed of roses. Comprising some of the most powerful paranormal with abnormal powers, the Para Unit’s job is to keep the innocent safe and the evil paranormal behind bars in the Purgatory.

Being the Director leaves no room for Eric Pate to neither make mistakes nor lose control of himself. Always on the hunt to contain evil, he would go to any lengths to keep his family safe and his secret buried forever. But then fate brings him face to face with Ella Lancaster, his prisoner, his answer to questions, his downfall and his one and only chance to put closure to a past that haunts him.

DealWithTheDevil-Purgatory4-June 2015

Desperate to break the chains of imprisonment, Ella Lancaster makes a deal with the devil himself to help him in his mission, and at the same time keep her powers a secret. Tortured and starved to harness her powers to keep evil alive, she has a score to settle and a traumatic past to forget. Yet Eric brings out the best in her with a hope for being loved for who she is and protected for life.

As Eric and Ella give into their burning desire, Ella’s past comes striking Eric to the ground and awaking the beast sleeping inside. With powerful magic at play, and Eric in the grips of death, Ella is the only one who is standing between life and death. And will Ella’s gamble of life to save Eric; can she survive to live the future with her mate?

Cynthia Eden needs no introduction and her paranormal stories are just brilliant and fascinating to read. “Deal With The Devil” is a fine art of Eric and Ella. I’ve always admired Eric, his secrets and his control of everything and Cynthia does a stupendous job with his character and his story.

Words can’t do justice to the story and the many questions that rise about humans and paranormal co-existing in the world. Shouldn’t live and let live be the norm of life? At least that’s what Ella hopes for…and so do I.

Revenge Best Served Hot – Delicious and Scumptious

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 10, 2015

Here’s another entertaining story from the Men Of Zodiac series by Jackie Braun. There are no bells and whistles in “Revenge Best Served Hot”, but we get tons of emotions, courage, grit and the complicated relationships we live with, and two wonderful people who are made for each other.

RevengeBestServedHot-Zodiac-JackieBraun-Jun2015

Brody Flynn is finally wetting out the revenge on the company that was responsible for the death of his parents with a hostile take over and he has big dreams once he sells off the company in pieces. But his dreams never saw Kate Douglass and he’s thrown out for a loop as she has other plans for the company and wants to buy back the Douglass legacy that belongs to her.

Working as the VP of Operations of the company and in close proximity, Kate and Brody explore the sparks that flare between them. Enemies become friends and friends to lovers yet there is an underlying tone of distrust. As they get to know each other, love creeps in and so do insecurities and fears.

I totally loved this book. There was so much charisma and chemistry between Brody and Kate that gives this story that extra sizzle. The narration and progress of their relationship is done well and so is the characterization of Brody and Kate. Jackie Braun is a fabulous writer and I am enjoying her stories more and more.

A definitely entertaining and lovable story.

The Taming Of The Bachelor – Good Read

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

I’ve always liked reading Jane Porter and her charming love stories. They are sweet, emotional, fun – all ingredients that make them worthy reads.

TheTamingOfTheBachelor-Sheenans4-JanePorter-Jun2015

Sexy and nerdy Dillon Sheenan and the pretty and widow Paige Doffe make an ultra sweet couple as they explore the sparks of attraction that defies age. Dillon always had a sweet spot for Paige, yet kept his distance due to the age difference and her marriage. But now the field is open, yet he hesitates, as he’s ready to leave Marietta for good.

The responsibilities of being a single mom and keeping her diner going, leaves no time for anything, no matter how tempting Dillon makes it. Yet she cannot deny her attraction for him or keep from losing her heart to him. Paige is just a wonderful person, working hard, kind and never pushes Dillon or expects anything in life, but is grateful for what she has and nothing more and nothing less.

“The Taming Of The Bachelor” will give you the laughs with the tears, the pain with the love, the insecurities with new chances and a couple that realize they are meant to be together.
