Another cute story from Roxanne Snopek’s camp of love stories, “The Millionaire Daddy Project” has the handsome and successful Dane Bergman at a loss when he finds himself at the receiving end of an adorable five-year old girl – his daughter. Playboy days are over and Daddy days leave him in total chaos and stress-filled days and sleepless nights.

TheMillionaireDaddyProject-RoxanneSnopek-May2015

And being the charmer her is, he manipulates his ever efficient, perfect and beautiful assistant Pamela Atwater to help him from a fast death and become a devil in the eyes of his daughter. A month long get away on sandy beaches brings lot of growing pains of raising a child, a child missing her dead mother, a playboy who would do anything to become the father his child deserves, and the spark of attraction that ignites between Dane and Pam just adds more sizzle to this book.

I liked Dane as the ruthless successful businessman, yet has the heart of gold. I loved the way Roxanne took the story to a few surprises. It added charm and mystery to the package. Pam was super adorable as the super efficient secretary, always protecting Dane, humble and kind as she helps run the company, and as the woman who lost her heart to her boss, just adds so much more depth to her character.

And I’m not sure what it is, but the ending was just very sweet and apt and had me feeling all mushy and happy! Must be the way Roxanne narrated it, but I loved it and the entire book gives a good feeling of love and romance.

From the fun and captivating CAMP VIOLET………another scintillating series is on the horizon to pleasure us, rock us and do Violet famous cartwheels!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sneak peak into the love story (first two books) of Caine and Addison 

BEFORE THAT NIGHT

(Unfinished Love, Book 1: Caine & Addison)

BeforeThatNight-Unfinished1-CaineAddison

Before that night, Addison Millan had been just a college dropout secretly raising her two young siblings in a beat-up minivan she’d bought with her first semester’s tuition refund—the only money her addict mother hadn’t taken off with when she’d abandoned them the year prior.

Before that night, Caine Spencer had been just a rough, gruff cop sent to check out the phoned-in claims of suspected child neglect involving the same woman he’d met a month ago when she’d first served him the city’s worst diner coffee…which he’d been drinking daily ever since.

Before that night, Addison would never have thought the man she’d been fighting hard not to fall for—her only friend in her new shadow of a life—would be in a position to rip her family apart.

Before that night, Caine would never have believed any woman could make him fall head over heels, let alone make him feel so damn compelled to look the other way when it came to his job.

Then that one perfect night changed everything.

BEFORE THAT NIGHT (Book 1) chronicles the destiny-altering events that take place seven years prior to HIS TO LOVE (Book 2), Caine & Addison’s explosive story of love, sacrifice, and the lengths one will run—and chase—when their past threatens their future.

HIS TO LOVE

(Unfinished Love, Book 2: Caine & Addison)

HisToLove-UnfinishLove2-CaineAddison

Seven years.

Seven damn years of wondering whether the woman was still alive…whether she’d spent the last two thousand five hundred fifty five days wondering if he was still alive.

Wondering whether that night was as burned into her memory as it was his.

Seven years having his heart tethered to Addison—and now she’s back. With even more reasons to run than she’d had then.

This time, Caine isn’t letting the gorgeous little flight risk out of his sight.

Regardless of how noble her reasons may be.

I’ve decided to retire to Marietta and get a permanent ringside seat to all the excitement that seems to grace this little enchanting town. Bachelor auctions, hot cowboys, unsuspecting love weaving magic, and the essence of romance filling the air is just perfect, as these potpourri of authors create love stories around these wonderful people.

The second book in the Montana Born Brides brings out “His Blushing Bride” Piper Tierney even as Sebastian Bloom wants to fight his feelings for her. On a break from his doctorate program, Bastian comes to Marietta to attend his sister’s wedding and ends up falling head over heals for the shy and blushing Piper.

HisBlushingBride-MontanaBrides2-DaniCollins-May2015

Taking over from her father, Piper is the music teacher in Marietta High. Born with a birthmark on her face and having endured childhood teasing and bullying, Piper maybe a successful and beautiful, but her history with the opposite sex has a lot of learning to be done. And Sebastian charms her pants off and they fall into an affair that is supposed to be temporary or can Bastian convince Piper into becoming the next Marietta bride?

Dani Collins writes some really sweet love stories. I loved the fact that she gave her heroine a flaw that could happen to anyone. I admire the way she made Piper into this strong and independent woman, yet vulnerable and sensitive, wanting to be loved for who she is, a beauty inside out. And this beautiful lady sends Bastian into an emotional roller coaster as he tries to fathom his feeling for Piper and convince her of his love being genuine and permanent.

Another charming romance in the town of Marietta, and it’s always so very wonderful to revisit characters from the previous stories.

Tracy Wolff’s Ethan Frost is one of the most brilliant fictional characters I’ve read and will re-visited, and will re-visit on a regular basis. There is no man more human or attractive than a guy who has everything yet has nothing as his childhood creates his personality, he strives to create his destiny and wants to possess the one and only love he had ever had or wanted.

Exposed-EthanStory-TracyWolf-May2015

I want to let the readers know that you definitely want to read Ethan Frost in sequence – ‘Ruined’, ‘Addicted’ and now ‘Exposed’…and looks like he’s bared himself and laid his entire being to the woman who’s made him become a better person, face his fears and challenge the ones that had ruined her life; His life, his breath and his soul – Chloe Girard.

Looks like Tracy Wolff has finally given Ethan Frost his home. He’s exposed the evil, he’s exposed his feelings and fears, and he’s exposed himself to heartache and separation, yet he’s finally managed to put his trust in the one woman he believed in. Chloe has been through a hell of pain and trauma that she wants to put behind her and move on with Ethan towards a new future. But Ethan can’t seem to let go of the bad that needs to be brought to justice.

A brilliant narration by Tracy Wolff as she takes her readers on an emotional coaster of pain and fear, danger and evil, betrayal and surprise and lots of passion and love, as Chloe and Ethan finally find themselves standing together, with each other.
