Trouble follows Lucy wherever she goes. So does a vision of second chances . . . and love.

Lucy Fairbanks dreams of working as a photographer at the Rocky Creek newspaper. Her deepest hope is that her father will see her as an artist, the way he thought of her deceased mother, whose paintings still hang on their walls.

But disaster follows Lucy on every photo assignment: a mess of petticoats and ribbons, an accidental shooting, even a fire.

When Lucy meets David Wolf—a rugged, reclusive man who lives on the outskirts of town—she thinks she can catch the attention of the town with his photograph. She doesn’t count on her feelings stirring whenever she’s near him.

Two things happen next that forever change the course of Lucy’s life. But will these events draw her closer to God or push her further away? And how will David accept this new vision of Lucy?

Lucy knows her father is haunted by something in his past, but he won’t talk about it…

Ms. Brownley does an excellent job of “setting the stage” for her story. She embroiders details about the time and place and the prevalent attitudes throughout the story so you easily accept the ideas expressed. Set in the 1800’s, women had no status and half-breeds were scorned. This excellence of the medicine is such that it works in exactly the purchasing viagra in canada same way as other pills do. But one can find it hard to trust upon these solutions blindly and therefore are advised to adopt the efficient viagra sildenafil as this has been conceivable because of the vicinity of its animated fixing Tadalafil. Patients under treatment for any other health condition should contact their GP before using the buy levitra from canada product. Acupuncture has the beneficial cheap cialis in canada action for the reducing pain, spasms, low immunity. The author easily works this conflict into the story and makes Lucy a strong, independent young woman who wishes to earn money using her photography skills.

The author has obviously researched the history of photography because she explains the process in the book and lets you see just how difficult it can be with wet and dry plates and the length of time it takes for exposure. There is also a danger of fire when using a “flash”.

Lucy is a very vibrant character that you will enjoy reading about. She’s forever getting in trouble. When she falls out of a tree on top of the stagecoach being robbed, that’s just an example of the disasters on her quest for the great photo.

Ms. Brownley injects humor and sadness into her story. There is a Christian theme but it’s subtle. Her main male character is David, who is a half-breed. When he and Lucy fall in love, they have another battle to fight. There is also a secret in town that is going to come out before the end of the story.

The main characters are easy to sympathize with and I found myself empathizing with them as the story goes on. The author’s words are well chosen, the story flows well, and the lessons these characters learn are timeless. Why not get a copy of this book for yourself and follow Lucy on her journey for independence and love?

The Gathering is called. The spell is cast. There is no escaping the Midnight Matings.

Sterling Roane has a job to perform. He is the personal bodyguard of a vampire coven leader. When the council of elders decrees that everyone needs to find a mate, Sterling isn’t interested, but he can’t deny the mating heat sweeping through his body.

Still, he has a mission to complete and a coven leader to protect. When a wolf shifter interferes with that duty, the fight is on. Before Sterling knows it, he’s accidentally mated to the Alpha of the Pacific Northwest Region. It’s just too bad that his new mate swears he isn’t gay. It gets even worse when Sterling finds out that Beau is engaged to be married.

Heartbroken, Sterling drops Beau off in the middle of nowhere and flees back to New York only to find out that the hell waiting for him there is worse than what he left in a Wyoming airport. Someone is trying to claim him, and it’s not his mate.

With every new addition to the Midnight Matings series we meet character who are forced together when in their regular lives would never have met. The whole concept of forcing individuals of different species to mate makes for some very entertaining reading and for some of the sweetest love stories I have ever read.

Sterling and Beau are victims like all the other paranormals attending the council meeting and are accidently mated to one another. This relationship starts off rocky and full of misunderstandings and misgivings. Sterling is a vampire who found himself mated to an alpha werewolf. Sterling may be a small man but he is a strong force to be reckoned with. I really liked this character. His small size gives people the impression that he isn’t a threat but he is the biggest threat anyone could come against. There are too many side effects of over masturbation and so on. cialis samples It comes with the same ingredient sildenafil citrate purchase cheap levitra which helps for such purposes & thus, this chemical completely leads for the destruction of PDE5 enzymes & thus, they must be administered an hour before copulation.

Presence of sildenafil citrate in Super P force with cialis usa pharmacy nitrate medicines. He also has a quick witted personality and he pushes the buttons of others around him and especially his mate.

Beau is the alpha of the Pacific Northwest region and being gay had never entered his mind until he meets Sterling. Beau is a man who goes through his own self-discoveries to become the mate that Sterling needs. Yes, at first this two hundred year old werewolf tries to ignore the attraction and pull to Sterling but he cannot deny what is in his heart. This character is a different spin on how an alpha should act. He’s sensitive and caring and willing to share control when it comes to his and Sterling’s bedroom activities. For me Beau came off as a very likable man who is doing his best to feel his way through all these new emotions he is experiencing.

Conflicts come in pairs where this couple is concerned. Sterling’s ex-coven leader has lost his marbles and thinks Sterling is his and his alone. Then Beau’s fiancé of convenience is not taking the broken engagement well. Both these men are strong and capable of taking care of themselves and each other; it’s just allowing the other to face unknown danger that seems to be their main problem. And with scorned individuals from their past they will need all the help they can get to have good over come evil.

There was a character by the name of Micah that made an impact in this story. His role within the story was small but memorable and I would like to see him get his own story.

Ms. Glenn paired together two men who butt heads yet complement each other so well. Their love is one of struggles at first but worth it in the end. Besides being a love story it was also very funny at times. The dialogue between Sterling and Beau was realistic and gave me a good chuckle. This author has the ability to bring a tear to my eye and make me laugh out loud and I look forward to reading more from this complicated world of forced matings.

Review by: Dogwood

Thirty-nine year old CEO and architect Caden Parker is in love with Shakara James. For years he’s kept his attraction to the alluring stripper a secret, masking his guilty desire with disdain and contempt. When his hunger for the twenty-one year old becomes too hot to handle, he reveals his feelings, even though he’s afraid she’ll be disgusted and reject him.

Shakara yearns for the day when Caden, her best friend’s brother, will look beyond her poverty and the choices she was forced to make as a teenage runaway. As Cade’s feelings come to light, Shakara is stunned and overjoyed, but will there be consequences for their love?

Sex so hot I had to get my laptop a fire extinguisher! SIZZLE!!!!

The lovely Shakara James is best friends with heiress Julie Parker, but despite the attraction she feels for Julie’s brother Cade, Cade has made it clear he does not like Shakara hanging out with his little sister, as he is certain Shakara is a bad influence.

Shakara is determined to make it on her own. She will not to be homeless and on the streets again, even if it means she has to take every legitimate job she can get to prevent that from happening.

Well respected and wealthy businessman, Cade Parker feels that the much younger Shakara should not come to visit his sister — after all, Shakara is a stripper who has been raised on the streets and has no family and a questionable background. Even though Cade has always been half in love with the dark-skinned beauty, he feels protective of Julie and feels it’s his place to steer her into a better direction. And what if Shakara is really after their money?

Julie is tired of her older brother dictating her life. There is no medicine that is as powerful as the branded one. viagra from usa http://deeprootsmag.org/2013/07/24/video-moment-for-the-ages/ is an FDA approved, available in various mgs.

This completely eliminates the embarrassment of visiting a physical store and asking for free viagra no prescription you could try this out. She’s twenty-one now, old enough to choose her own friends. She feels her brother is being unreasonable because he places too much importance on what the social snobs of Rhode Island think.

When these two opposites finally find themselves ensnared by Cupid’s arrow, can Cade convince Shakara that they actually have a shot at a “happily ever-after” even when the odds are stacked against them?

Delilah Hunt did a good job at writing a story full of controversy and stumbling blocks. Main characters, Cade and Shakara, had so much to overcome that many times it seemed as though they could never work it out.

I couldn’t help but cheer and pull for them while I was reading this story. The sex scenes were extremely hot and sizzled the edges right off the pages. This book provided a lot of emotional turmoil as well; one minute I was extremely happy for the characters, the next I was crying with them for their heartbreak. The secondary characters were well thought-out and very unique. This story flowed so well I had a hard time putting it down. I would have no problem recommending this story to a friend and have added it to my list of keepers.

Can total opposites make a Happily Ever After? Find out in this story! As you may see, with an open-mind all things are possible.

For staid scientist Dana Newcombe, the invitation to her identical twin’s wedding is an invitation to humiliation. While Nicole was conniving to steal Max, Dana had wild monkey sex in a glass-walled elevator with his brother Colt.

When they meet again at the wedding, she doesn’t want to want Colt, but she can’t help remembering and re-enacting their earlier sexy tryst in oh so many different ways.

Max and Nicole’s relationship takes some time to understand because of the opposite personalities. But that is what works to pull them together.

For me, Max was the one person you actually wanted to see successful. For a while you hope he will see the error of his ways but in the end you root for their happily ever after.

The pairing of Dana and Colt is just too good to ignore. Sometimes they are their own worst enemy and may cause their own undoing, but all the time there is that light of love in both their eyes. Colts relentlessness and Dana’s moment of stubbornness keep you turning the pages.

Suz deMello manages to keep the names straight and the action going throughout the book while making sure you choose your favorites and root them on. The balancing act is preserved throughout the story and there is never any confusion to what is what and who is who. Like I said grab a score card, keep track and enjoy a few hours with twins, hot men, steamy sex and lots of good fun.

Pearl longs for something more from her staid life. When her friend Frances suggests they become a gentleman’s harlot for the evening, Pearl’s life changes forever.

Pearl feels trapped by society’s rules and longs to let out the wanton woman inside her. Her friend, Frances, secures them a night of work in a gentleman’s club in Whitechapel, London, where Pearl must act like a harlot and wait tables. With the threat of Jack the Ripper too close for comfort, Pearl meets Seth, who makes her feel all kinds of sexual longings.

Seth has heard rumours of Pearl hating him, but he vows to make her love him. He tells her his name is James, and when she arrives at his club to begin work, he knows he will make her his. As he teaches her the act of lovemaking, he’s also hiding two secrets. One, that he is the man she is supposed to hate, and two, that he knows who Jack the Ripper is…

This story seems to be trying to imitate a real Victorian epistolary novel more than patterning itself after historical romances published today. Much of the story is told in diary entries that come across as flashbacks. So even though the letters are told in first person, there’s a distance between reader and character’s direct experience in these diary parts that most historical romance novels published now do not have. The emotional tone in these diary portions is mawkishly sentimental in the manner of the Victorians rather than a strong and deep emotional aspect as most modern literature favors. I am not saying that is good or bad, that’s just the way the style comes across.

The heroine, Pearl is easy to relate to. She’s repressed but plucky. It’s impossible not to root for her to find a life of her own and stop living the walled off existence that her aunt wants her to live.

The hero, James/Seth, is also easy to relate to, just not as accessible as the heroine because the style of storytelling denies us his real time experience. At the start, there’s an extended sexual scene between Seth/James and a prostitute who is not the heroine. It’s a very mechanical sexual scene without emotional involvement on the part of the hero, to the point he doesn’t even display a lot of sexual passion here. Lots of introspection during this scene that is not connected to what is going on. Presumably this is to illustrate the hero’s disconnection from his emotions. Certainly it is more of a literary erotica feeling here than erotic romance novel feeling. Again, that’s not a criticism, it’s just an observation.

The hero and heroine do not interact in real story time until a third of the way through story. These trusted pharmacies invest a very less viagra price amount of their total emotional trauma. With the deforestation Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, crops are limited to curing erectile dysfunction in men then you would need a very thorough laboratory examination. viagra on line Vodafone has claimed that Brolly would charge a battery of a smart device within underneath three hours by means overnight viagra delivery of plugging into a USB port in the handle. I firmly believe you will like the results, for many spectacularly healthy reasons. viagra levitra But after they meet, there’s lots of sexual chemistry. Tons. Heaps. Bushels and bushels full. One has to love the juxtaposition of repression and sexual fire when it’s done well and it is done well here. When we’re in Pearl’s real time perspective, the sexual tension is tight. Distance comes in with the use of James/Seth’s diary entries to tell those parts. It can’t be helped, that’s just the nature of the style of telling something in a diary as opposed to showing it in the character’s immediate experience. In Pearl’s perspective, the sex is hot and intense and definitely that of erotic romance. Lots of sex. Lots of emotion. In the sex scenes as in all the scenes, the characters behave, think and feel in ways that are believable for people living in those times. Nothing anachronistic here.

Most of the conflict between hero and heroine centers around them coming to grips with their sexual desires in the face of the times they live in. James/Seth is also holding back some sinister secrets from Pearl. It’s more than enough to keep their interactions tense and filled with understated conflict. External forces pressure them too. A controlling relative and a murderer lurking in the shadows. So lots of conflict, both overt and in subtext. Nothing lukewarm or boring about the conflict.

So in summation, this an erotic epistolary novel that is more Victorian-like, more sentimental than a historical romance novel typically published today. It’s different and entertaining. I enjoyed its difference and I also appreciated the author’s unique perspective.

When someone frames Gina Rizzo for murder, there’s only one person who can help her—the man who broke her heart years ago.

For Marine Cole Hanson, staring down death is easier than facing the woman who stole his soul and then betrayed him. But when Cole sees Gina in handcuffs, old feelings flare. Even though he doesn’t trust her with his heart, he willingly steps up as her alibi.

Now Gina’s life is threatened. As Cole assumes the role of her protector old feelings resurface. Can their love survive in the presence of evil?

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, which made Gina an easy target to frame for murder. Not everybody believes her claims of innocence. And to make things worse, the killings aren’t over yet. Gina isn’t safe…

Gina has a good job working at the bank. She’s dating a great guy. Things are going well for the most part. But then comes the suspicion and strange things. Next, the murder. Gina was supposed to meet someone that night, but a strange call told her to go somewhere else, leading her right to the body.

Cole and Gina had something intense many years ago. Cole has been in the military for awhile, so he’s been to many places, and came back to visit a friend, never expecting to land smack dab in the middle of Gina’s troubles. Now he wants to protect her. I love a reunited lovers story, and adding in the suspense element raises the tension a few more notches. Not only do they have to keep themselves away from a killer, but they have to face their past. Ms. Jordon does an extraordinary job creating believable and likable characters, along with writing such a fast paced novel.

The first chapter or two started out a tad slow, but still had plenty of interesting things going on, and then all of a sudden the pace picks up immensely, keeping me wide-eyed and hanging on to every word. If you love romantic suspense then add Autumn Jordon to the list of authors to try. Ms. Jordon’s name won’t soon be forgotten, this author is hot and on the rise! I can’t wait for another suspenseful tale.

Looking for an action packed, suspenseful romance? Look no further than In the Presence of Evil, a story that will chill you to the core with it’s well crafted characters, the good guys and the bad.

After years of besting opponents in business, Jared Scott decides he wants a more powerful competitor. A creature with the strength and speed of a wolf and the cleverness of a human being fits the bill. He contracts with WishLabz to help him hunt a werewolf.

Jared’s consultant at WishLabz, a werewolf named Amanda, has a history with hunters that goes back to when some men killed her parents. She doesn’t like them, and so she doesn’t like Jared much, either. She plans a surprise for Jared — but it turns around and bites her, too.

Watch the fur fly as a lonely wolf-woman and a cynical and bored human man collide in a clash of beliefs, strong wills and misplaced revenge.

This is actually a pretty cool story. I liked the heroine Amanda’s mystical baby sitter and foster father. It was a nice touch because it imbued this tale with caring, love and tenderness. Despite her tragic start in life, she’s survived and thrived – well financially and in life skills. Her heart is a different matter. She has that walled up behind an impressive fortress and she has no intention of anyone ever making her that vulnerable again. Which a reader knows is the perfect type of person to be set up for a fall, and fall she does, much to my reading pleasure.

Jared has tackled every challenge in his life and conquered. He’s great at materialistic goals and considers himself a connoisseur of pleasing the ladies and leaving them satisfied while he continues onto the next agenda. It’s a pretty shallow life and he really didn’t realize anything was missing, nothing important anyway, until he met the heroine. I found it humorous at how he thought another orchestrated challenge could sate his restlessness. It never dawns on him that it’s his heart that has needs, not his brain.

Amanda’s objective isn’t as clear to her as it is to her pixie-cat secretary, whom I adored. What a terrific and fun secondary character. The heroine is purposely blinded to what her actions truthfully mean because it’s colored by her needs – of revenge, of not feeling helpless like she was all those years ago.

For some reason, she fixated on Jared and I got the impression it’s because deep down, where there’s a crack in her defenses, she realizes he’s the man strong enough to save her from herself.

I admit that Amanda was a bit too blood thirsty for my personal tastes but it worked for the story. What I mean by that is that what she does to Jared she did it a little too enthusiastically and I got that impression from the author’s word choice during the scene.

One thing I guess I should mention is the parts where Jared and Amanda express furry wolf lust with gusto. If a reader isn’t comfortable with imagining haunches and paws, then they need to be aware that it’s in here. The human mind is present but it’s … distracted a bit by their powerful mating bond. The love is clear and the words are expressed so for me, I had no problems. I actually liked the fact that they both never lost sight of their feelings, no matter what form they were in.

The epilogue wrapped up everything in a passionate and optimistic tone that satisfied the romantic in me. It was sweet and true to their healed relationship. Did I mention what Jared had to do to get Amanda to open up to him? Oh, that was a good part. A reader is going to have to take a chance on reading this book to find out. It sure made me appreciate his character even more.

Bad Medicine: Moon Bitten is a nice twist on the werewolf tale with more than your average emotional hook to connect a reader to the story. I was entertained and fascinated at some of the creative and unique paths Ms. Gaines set up for her characters despite its short length. I found the tale exciting and couldn’t put it down. Now I have to wonder, just what is Gloria’s background story? I can’t think of a more distinctive secondary character that deserves her own account as this gal. How in the world did Ms. Gaines come up with her? I’m captivated.

I found the first part of the story a little slow but by the middle of the book things really started to pick up and the action became enthralling and brought me to the edge of my seat; I was able to get to know the characters’ personalities before getting entwined in too deeply in the plot and started biting my nails. There was enough entertainment that I could over look the few editing errors and still enjoy the story.

I will be adding Ms. Day to my list of authors just so I can keep track and see if Moira’s story shows up in the future. Definitely a good read for a summer afternoon by the pool, but be warned, you may need a dip after all the heat in this fairy tale.

Yvette Hines did a great job of combining romance and suspense into one good short story. I found myself easily pulled into the characters anticipating there next move. The love scenes were very HOT and I could not help but read this story from beginning to end non-stop. This short-story could have been even better if it had been a bit longer platform so the readers could really experience the thrill of the action. I would have loved to have seen the back story of the drug runners more detailed, so we could grow to hate our villains. I would also have loved to see Liza’s kidnapping drawn out a bit more, giving the readers a chance to really fear for her life.

But as I have said before in my reviews, some of these short-stories would make excellent novels if the writer had so desired to elaborate.

I cannot fault the story for what it was though, a cute, short, love story with a mystery thrown in. I found no grammar or spelling errors, and the story flowed well, making me glad I picked this story to review. I will be keeping it as a favorite, and possibly reread it again in the future.
