Welcome to Valentine Valley!

The Silver Creek Rodeo is in full swing, and everyone’s talking about the rancher who came to town…

Bed-and-breakfast owner Amanda Cramer wants nothing more than a quiet, private life. Well, she wants guests too, but after suffering her share of unwanted notoriety, she’s gotten comfortable hiding out in her inn . . . perhaps a little too comfortable. When her newest customer arrives—tall, dark, and breathtaking—Amanda begins to question her self-imposed exile.

Ex-rodeo star Mason Lopez knows all about the limelight. He’d avoid it if he could, but since one last ride could mean saving his family’s ranch, he’ll go all in. When he gets to Valentine Valley for the Silver Creek Rodeo, Mason checks into the Connections B&B and finds himself immediately drawn to the beautiful, reserved woman who owns it.

Mason has only three days in town . . . can he convince Amanda to open her heart to him and welcome the world back in?

Two souls who probably wouldn’t have found each other any other way, but are completely destined to be together.

I seem to be on a roll, reading books with wounded souls. I’m not sure if it’s a new trend or just the luck of the draw as to the books I’ve picked up. I have to say, even though this book is short, it packs a punch. There’s a lot going on here. Emma Cane has written characters I rooted for and people I wanted to spend more time with.

Mason isn’t just a rancher. Nope, he’s not that simple (although ranchers can be complex and it’s a good thing). He’s a former bull rider who wants sponsorship and to save the ranch. There’s a lot going on in his past–some of which isn’t his doing. I liked that he wasn’t about to give up, even though there were moments when the body was certainly weak. I liked that I could see him. I could understand he’d been beaten up by the life he’d chosen–bull riding cannot be easy, although I don’t want to find out firsthand. He was one I wanted to get with the heroine and see them have a good ending. I liked his patience and kindness, even when he thought he wasn’t being a nice guy.

Amanda, the heroine, was just as complex. She’s not just a bed and breakfast owner. Nope. I loved how the author peeled away her layers through the story. She became more interesting as I made progress in the book. At first, I wasn’t sold on Amanda. She seemed standoffish and a little bitter. As I got to know her, I understood why and wanted her to get that HEA she deserved.

This isn’t a long story, so there isn’t much time to develop the romance–three days to be exact, but there is just enough to make a good tale. If you want a story heavy on heart and understanding, then this might be the read for you.

Wynter Atrialan, the Winter King, once lived in peace with his southern, Summerlander neighbors, but when the prince of Summerlea steals Wynter’s bride and murders his young brother, Wynter calls upon a dangerous Wintercraig magic called the Ice Heart and marches against Summerlea.

After three bitter years of battle, a victorious Wynter arrives at Summerlea’s royal palace to issue his terms of surrender. The prince of Summerlea stole Wynter’s bride and slew Wynter’s Heir. He wants the loss replaced. The Ice Heart is consuming him. Wynter hopes holding his own child in his arms will rekindle the warmth in his heart before he becomes the monster of Wintercraig legend, the Ice King.

The Summer King has three very precious daughters whom he loves dearly. Wynter will take one of them to wife. She will have one year to provide him with an Heir. If she fails, he will send her to face the mercy of the mountains and claim another princess for his wife. And so it will continue until Wynter has his Heir or the Summer King is out of daughters.

A princess who is hated by her father is given in marriage to a man with a heart turning to ice who hates her homeland. Love is the only thing that can save them both.

I fell in love with author CL Wilson when she penned the The Tairen Souls series. I wasn’t much of a fantasy reader but her books are so intricate and deeply layered, they pulled me in from the first page of the first book. I hated to see that story line end but was delighted to see that she would stay in the genre with this new series.

The premise of the heroines for this series is very clever. Four sisters. The three eldest, known as the three seasons, are all that is beauty and grace. The youngest sister, Khamsin Coruscate, known by her sisters as Storm, is treated like an outcast by her father for very selfish reasons. I instantly hated him and had pity for her. I wanted to see her become the royal she was born to be. I wasn’t sure I would like her future husband, though.

Wynter Atrailan is very complicated character and almost an anti-hero. He comes to Summerlea as a conqueror with truly selfish intentions to take a bride. He’s been wronged and he lost someone he loved so I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. He isn’t exactly given a fair deal while at Summerlea but it was the best course for Kham as well as Wynter. Still, he had to work to make me like him and for me to feel that he was ultimately worthy of Kham’s loyalty. Conversely, that was one of the things I liked about her best. She is loyal and truly good. She didn’t deserve the horrid treatment she received by her father and yet she gave him every chance to love her.

The story is fairly predictable but that wasn’t an issue for me. A war was coming. There was foreshadowing and too much intrigue for there not to be a great battle. Ms. Wilson writers very detailed battle scenes. I felt like I was right up in the middle of it and just thankful that I wasn’t the target of Wynter’s wrath. This man has great depths of emotion and it affects his ability to control his powers. He’s both fearful and wonderful at the same time. At least, that’s how I saw him and why Kham was so very loyal to him.

This is the first book in this new series and it prepares the reader for what and who’s coming next. It is a complete story but there are some lingering questions that should play out in the next book or so. Also, this book has more graphic sex than her previous series. I didn’t have any issue with it because for the time period and the situation it was fitting. It wasn’t overly done so as to take away from the main plot.

Readers who love to dive headlong into a story and a new fantasy series should give this one a try. It’s intense from the onset and that intensity rarely lets up. I look forward to next opportunity to take a walk with Ms. Wilson on the fantasy side of literature.

For Jane Whitmore, agreeing to switch identities with her best friend seems like innocent fun, but spending a romantic night in Paris with a man who doesn’t know her real name turns out to be a lark gone bad. When their one night of passion proves to have lasting results, tracking down Gabe Sutton and telling him he’s about to be the father of her child is just another calamity Jane would rather avoid.

After years of avoiding long-term romantic entanglements, Gabe has found a woman he might just be able to build a life with, only to have her disappear. When he finally finds her, his belief in happily-ever-after staggers under the weight of deception, and looming fatherhood leaves him with two choices: fight her for custody of his future child or cling to the promise of true love.

As a short story, I would recommend it to anyone who looks for stories centered around cowboys in the city!

This was a very short story but a very good one which I enjoyed. It was sensually descriptive without overpowering the characters and the whole story. The plot was as simple as it could be and everything came together very well.

However, I do wish that there was a little bit more to the whole story. The ending was good but it felt incomplete because of the lack of depth or detail about the characters themselves. I wanted to know more about them and maybe get at least a hint of their life after.

Nonetheless, this story is perfect for anyone looking for a short romance without it being complicated.

Her daughter regards her parents as stuck in the mud. If only she knew! When Beth decided to throw off her inhibitions she was able to thoroughly enjoy her middle years, despite the usual body issues, including attending a BDSM event and starting a relationship with a Dom.

Putting on her purple bustier and high heels as ordered, and covering up with a coat, she leaves her husband engrossed in his carpentry workshop to walk to a neighbour’s house. This is the home of swinging couple, Alistair and Helen, with whom she’s had several encounters over the past year. And this begins a wonderful evening of kink—bondage, spanking, paddling, handcuffs, and orgasm denial.

Then her husband turns up.

Beth is a comfortable fifty-something mother of two, still married to the man she married right out of school. She gets an invitation from her Master, telling her to meet him at their swingers party later in the evening. This isn’t the first time she’s partied with the group, though they never get together as often as Beth would like. As she secretly prepares herself as her Master ordered, she wonders what new delight they’ll uncover together after dinner.

Readers interested or curious about swinging should find this short story interesting. I found the characters to be realistic and interesting. The sex was smoking hot – both with Beth’s Sir and her Master – and I enjoyed her camaraderie with Helen, a secondary character and another submissive. I was a little disappointed how Beth mentioned or dwelled on her being middle-aged even during intense parts of the sex. It drew me out of the story to be reminded of this fact while wicked, luscious things were being done to her. There were also a few small editing mistakes that also jarred me out of the lovely scenes. Overall though, this is a fun, sexy story that had me longing for some fun swinger parties myself.

Not for the faint of heart, this is a wonderful, sexy book filled with chemistry and smoking hot sex. I enjoyed Beth and her antics and will happily read more from this author.

What happens when an everyday Cinderella makes a play for the prince?

A moment of madness. That’s all muralist Sunny Anderson expected when she donned a glittering mask and a fabulous gown to crash the gala at Manhattan’s newest boutique hotel. Project manager Michael Wolfe has no idea that the beauty staring up at the mural on the ballroom ceiling is also the artist who painted it. He’s captivated and she’s willing, but when their moment of madness on the sofa in his suite comes to an abrupt end, his princess is off and running, leaving nothing behind but a pair of earrings. He’s determined to find her again, but all he has to do is look closer at the woman painting the mural in his office to see that the one he needs is standing right in front of him.

This story reads like a Harlequin made for T.V. movie back in the early 90s, Sincerely, Violet with Simon MacCorkindale. It’s a quirky obscure little romance but even after all these years, I remember it fondly. The premise is the same as this book’s – a heroine changing her appearance and assuming another personality to reach an objective but falling in love complicates everything and she has to come clean, eventually. Just the Way You Aren’t has a much better and more believable storyline and I quite enjoyed myself.

Joint fluid replacement therapy is not presently FDA approved for usage in the ankle joint, so the patient can have pocket friendly order cheap levitra treatment.
The author sets up a reader by giving only surface descriptions – what everyone sees and assumes and is very one dimensional. Enough is shared for a reader to buy into the stereotypes and as soon as it seems that Michael Wolfe is a cold hearted man, and Sunny’s a frumpy, frizzy-haired air-headed artist, Ms. Simmons blasts those perceptions to pieces and delivers a hero with a very guarded heart, and a heroine with a passion and goal for life that rivals the hero’s determination to remain uninvolved in life. They collide and the romance is magic.

An element of the story that was crucial in making me feel deeply for both the hero and heroine was Jess, Sunny’s daughter. She’s a precocious young lady and very important to the tale because the author never forgot that Sunny was a mom first. The interactions between mother and daughter were oftentimes adorable, sweet and very true to life. There are moments when Jess acted or spoke as much older than her years so wasn’t true perhaps to the age she was purported to be in the book. That doesn’t take away from her sweetness or ability to help the plot when she’s on scene. For the most part, it worked and worked well – especially with the scenes with the chalk and the rose.

One of the internal/external conflicts was between Sunny and her mother, Moyra. At first I thought she was a good character until she wasn’t. I’m waffling between considering it a helpful conflict or an unnecessary one. At first I liked Sunny’s mother, and then I really, really didn’t. She started acting unnatural and weird, controlling and snippy. The author continued to have Sunny treat her mother with respect but I am of the mind that her mom needed to be put in her place a long time ago. Sunny was a much more patient and loving woman than I would have been. Then again, family dynamics can be extremely weird. Readers are going to have to decide for themselves if Moyra was a help or a hindrance to this tale. A reader is left in no doubt as to Moyra’s preference.

I liked Val, Hugh, Duane and the Glasgow Ladies and found them to be definite assets to this novel. Jack was not explored enough to make a huge impact on me; he was just her dad – mostly quiet but with a subtle quirkiness all his own.

I enjoyed the dialogue, the descriptions and the romance. I liked how the author showed the progression of their falling in love, and enjoyed the scenes of seduction. When they finally were able to fulfill their passions, the terrific writing made it worth the wait – very sexy and sultry.

The final two chapters are powerhouses of emotion, confrontations, revelations and healing. Everything that happened in the previous chapters created the foundation for an amazing, gripping and heartfelt conclusion that thoroughly satisfied the romantic inside me. Just the Way You Aren’t is a must read for fans of character driven romances that deal with families, new beginnings and letting go of the pains and disappointments of the past. It’s actually a wonderful, happy romance and I definitely recommend it.

He’s troubled and sometimes lets that get him down, but underneath he’s the right man for Delta and I couldn’t get enough of them together.

It s Passover. Gamaliel, and his physician friend, Loukas, are crime-solving a third time reluctantly. Pontius Pilate has been accused of murder. He denies the crime. If convicted, he might escape death but would be removed from Judea. Those rejoicing urge the Rabban to mind his own business. But Gamaliel is a Just Man which is, as Pilate points out, your weakness and also your strength. Knowing that exonerating the Roman could cost him his position, possibly his life, Gamaliel, as would Sherlock Holmes centuries later, examines evidence and sorts through tangled threads, teasing out suspects who include assassins, Roman nobles, Pilate s wife, rogue legionnaires, slaves, servants, thespians, and a race horse named Pegasus. Unusually, justice triumphs over enmity. Gamaliel is satisfied, High Priest Caiphas is irate, Loukas accepts an apprentice from Tarsus, and few notice the events of what will later be known as Easter. Ramsay s plausible narrative answers some questions which have puzzled Biblical scholars for centuries. Why did Pilate hear the case against Jesus? Why invent a tradition that required one prisoner be released at Passover? Having done so, why offer the most terrifying criminal in the country, Barabbas, as the substitute for Jesus when two better, less dangerous prisoners were at hand? And we ask, why could Caiphas not heed Gamaliel s warnings not to martyr the man?

Absolutely riveting from start to finish, Ramsey’s new first century mystery, The Wolf and the Lamb, brings the best of both ‘historic’ as well as ‘mystery.’

The famed cast of characters, including Pontious Pilate himself in a headlining role, add significantly the historic aura evoked here. Ramsay brings us the city of Jerusalem and shows us, up close, the lives of the people while occupied by the Romans. The religious happenings of the day–the rumors, concerns about this man in Galilee–as well as the everyday duties of various levels of citizen, all add to the backdrop here.

Yet, intriguing as the backdrop is (and it is! My one complaint is my wish to see more… a tiny bit more…) it is the mystery that stars. Familiar ‘detective,’ Gamaliel, local Rabban, is called by none other than the prefect, Pilate himself, when the prefect is (so he claims) falsely accused of murder. Although Gamaliel owes nothing to the prefect, and in fact, might prefer to see him fall, Pilate rightly assures him that he is ‘too just’ and ‘too righteous’ to allow such an injustice. Oh, we see into Gamaliel’s own psyche in some of these moments.

Gamaliel’s investigation would do a contemporary detective proud; he pursues facts logically; consulting with those he trusts.  Suspicious where he needs to be, for the most part. We see a plain motive from the start, but, we too have seen that the obvious killer is not the one. There is both intrigue and danger, and while not suspenseful in the thriller way, there is a steady increase in tension.

Ramsay brings us a vision of a life–and lives–woven into the intriguing pursuit of injustice. The Wolf and the Lamb is a wonderful, thought-provoking, and enjoyable read. While mystery fans will love it,  you won’t need to be a mystery fan to find this completely intriguing.

I had to know how the kiss came about, how did the girl react, how did her date react and how did she and her heroes find their HEA? So many questions just from reading the blurb, I couldn’t wait to dive in.

Magdalena “Nena” makes for a very convincing damsel in distress. Seriously, the guy she’s with at the ballpark is a total dog and he treats like one as well. Fate, karma or destiny has them sitting next to long time partners Micah and Brody. These guys are ripe for meeting the girl who can make them complete. These guys are so hot together but when they put Nena in between them it’s off the charts.

There were a couple of issues that slowed me down in the story flow and only because it made me go backwards to be sure I hadn’t misread. Nothing crazy like name changes or time jumps but little inconsistencies in what is said in one place doesn’t match up when it’s repeated in another place. It didn’t kill the story for me but, as I said, slowed the pace because I noticed it. For me, the other issue was how over the top cave man-like Micah tends to be. I think the author could have pulled back just a bit on how his need for control and opposition to the “L” word. Having said that, there are enough hot scenes–the pool play comes to mind–and sweet chemistry between the characters to offset this. I wasn’t distracted for long.

This is a short story so the pace is pretty fast. I thought it was interesting how Brody and Micah reconnect with Nena and they don’t lose any time getting to know each other very, very well. Seriously, there is a lot of sex in not a whole lot of pages.

Brody and Micah were at an obvious stalemate in their relationship but I wanted them to work things out. They felt that adding a third, a female, would push things along and I guess it did get the action headed in the right direction.

This is a fairly quick read. It’s not a book readers are going to have to invest a lot of time or emotion to. It’s just a good quick, hot, hot, hot read. If that’s what a reader is looking for then, look no further. This one will satisfy just fine.
