I Love How You Love Me……….

…And I love how Dylan loves Grace and I love how Bella Andre still charms the pants off her readers…. period!

The Sullivans continue to pleasure us with their unconditional love, support and empathy. It’s hard to believe there are people like Dylan Sullivan, or for that matter, the whole Sullivan family, with simple and pure hearts. And lucky for single mother Grace Adrian, that she’s come across Dylan in her life.

ILoveHowYouLoveMe-SeattleSullivans-DylanGrace-Oct2014

Dylan Sullivan is born in the Seattle Sullivan brood and cousin to the California Sullivans. A renowned boat builder, he falls for Grace and her adorable son the second he lays eyes on them. They become his own, the minute Grace speaks and her son goes into his arms and they become his life the hour Grace and Dylan get to know each other and he takes her to visit his family. Dylan is one of the most charming and lovable Sullivans, living a simple life building boats, cruising the oceans, and weathering the storms in his calm style. But he is the alpha protector when it comes to his family, own or extended and he would leave no stone unturned to protect Grace and her son from her past…and he doesn’t think twice to bring his family as a shield around them.

Grace Adrian’s world fell apart when she got pregnant and realizes that she is the ugly secret of a rich society guy. She moves far away from her past to build a decent life for herself and her son. A freelance and fabulous writer, her project of writing about Dylan Sullivan, brings them face-to-face and it is instant attraction for Grace. As Dylan envelopes her within the folds of his wonderful family, Grace is hopeful that she may have found her Prince Charming, yet scared of her heart getting broken by the handsome and charismatic sailor who loves to sail on the seas.

This is one of those stories that gives you orgasmic contentment or make you shred the book because you don’t have a guy like Dylan Sullivan in your life…and I sure hope everyone goes with the first feeling and enjoy Dylan and Grace and the whole entourage as much as I have and will….Sullivans-FamilyTree

We may as well as accept the truth – Sullivans are addictive and you can’t escape them!

Deadly Holiday Reunion – A Mixed Bag

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Lenora Worth is a first time read for me and her new book “Deadly Holiday Reunion” brings together Texas Ranger Jake Cavanaugh and retired FBI agent Ella Terrell, when Jake’s teenage daughter gets kidnapped; a kidnapper with deadly intentions and very familiar to Ella, from who she barely escaped with her life.

DeadlyHolidayReunion-LenoraWorth-Nov2014

Now Ella has to face the monster from the past to save Jake’s daughter Macey, even if she has to give herself to the killer in exchange for Macey. But Jake is not about to give up on the second chance he’s got with Ella, and would do anything to get back his daughter and keep Ella at her side. Racing against time, and with misleading clues dropped by the killer this is one game that Jake and Ella intend to win and put the killer to rest permanently.

The plot is good, the characters sounded nice, yet the narration lacked conviction and interest for me. I felt it was a tad too lengthy and repetitive of what Jake and Ella are feeling and going through.

It is still a decent one time read.

Received an ARC from Harlequin via Netgalley for a honest review.

About PUSHING THE LIMIT
After their one-night fling at a wedding, archaeologist Henrietta “Harry” Markowitz thought she’d never see war hero Matt Stanning again. So when they’re paired up to investigate a military plane crash in Iraq, she’s not sure if the three-month reunion is serendipitous or cursed. What she does know is this gorgeous man lights her body on fire-and incredible sex is always a welcome distraction. Air Force Sergeant Matt Stanning has been called a hero, but he feels nothing like one when he realizes the sexy blonde in his bed is the widow of his fallen brother-in-arms. Even worse, he actually has to work with her, and she’s unearthed evidence that points to a military conspiracy. If they dig deeper, they’ll put their lives in danger. If they don’t, they’ll never know the truth-not only about the mysterious plane crash, but about each other.

Unleashed – Brilliant Talent Unleashed!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

This is one of those really rare moments for me, of reading a debutant writer and appreciating her fabulous foray into becoming an outstanding writer/author. Mentored by Lori Wild (another writer I love to read), Rachel Lacey has done a beautiful job of unleashing her talent with her first book “Unleashed” the first in her Love To Rescue Series, and I can’t wait to dig into her second book already.

Unleashed-RachelLacey-Oct 2014

Cara Medlen is a wonderful nanny and a fanatical foster rescuer of animals, with a side of becoming a brilliant photographer. With a heart of gold and an ever-helping hand, Cara along with her friend Merry, is hell bent on saving and fostering as many animals as possible, even if it lands them into trouble. But she is on a 10-year plan of making things permanent in her life, be it her career, owning an animal, or getting attracted to a man, let alone her handsome neighbor. With only two more years left in her 10-year plan, she doesn’t count on falling for her sexy and helpful neighbor, and a lover of animals too!

Matt Dumont is a private investigator trying to wrap up one last case before moving home to be close to his ill mother. But the attractive animal lover next door is giving him sleepless nights and making his departure so much more difficult. With a past betrayal and pain still fresh, Matt wants to stay away from the funny, gorgeous and caring animal lover, but fate seems to have a different plan for him.

Circumstances land them under one roof, and the flickering passion ignites into flames that both can’t resist. Even as they confess their feelings for each other, their lives seem to be on different paths. As a past painful issue rears its ugly head, will Cara be able to let Matt support her with his love and understanding, and will Matt be able to put her fears to rest by giving his trust and heart to Cara.

A wonderful story brimming with so much laughter, positivity and love that you can’t help fall in love with Cara and Matt. Rachel Lacey is definitely on my list of repeat writers.

Looking forward to the sassy Merry Atwater in “For Keeps”

Her Grave Secrets – Tenacious Poison In Solitude

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

For the uninitiated readers, “Her Grave Secrets” is the third book in the Rogue River Series, co-written by Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh. The first two books are “On Her Father’s Grave” (Kendra Elliot) and “Gone To Her Grave” (Melinda Leigh). So my recommendation is to definitely read in sequence.

RogueRiverSeries-1 and 2-ElliotLeigh copy

So the saga of danger and death continues in the small town of Solitude. A deadly drug called C-22 is making its appearance in the dead bodies showing up in Solitude. Since the death of Stevie’s father, who was the sheriff of Solitude, there has been a string of strange deaths and Stevie along with the new sheriff, Zane are trying to get to the bottom of this evil.

As the love between Zane Duncan and Stevie Taylor blossoms, so is the evil lurking in the shadows. Stevie and Zane along with Seth, are trying to uncover the mystery surrounding some of the prime residents of Solitude. As the pieces of the puzzle seem to fall into place, there are more questions than answers. And when Zane gets hurt as another piece of the puzzle falls into place, but some old secrets also come to light. When her father’s death is bordered on homicide, Stevie knows that they need to double their efforts and become more vigilant before more innocent people get hurt.

RogueRiverSeries-3 and 4-ElliotLeigh copy

“Her Grave Secrets”, is a great continuation as it seems to head into a final showdown with very surprising revelations. I love the way both the writers have kept their unique skills of narration, yet bring the story together in each book they write. The suspense is brilliant, romance sublime and the characters have turned out to be fabulous, with their own personal issues and insecurities, yet supportive of each other.
