When private detective Fallon Monroe agrees to transport a clone across country for her nephew’s lifesaving operation, she never expects to be thrust into a dangerous conspiracy. With anti-cloning fanatics after her, she has only her wits and special ops soldier John White to help protect the child—but her attraction to John is tempting her to break every rule she’s set for herself.

John can’t remember his past. He just knows he must protect the beautiful woman who bursts into his life. But as his memory returns, John realizes he’s not who—or even what—everyone thinks he is. Now he feels unworthy of Fallon, no matter how desperately he wants her.

Pursued by terrorists and bounty hunters, John and Fallon face a terrible decision, and Fallon realizes she will do anything to save the child and the man who have come to mean everything to her.

I’m still trying to catch my breath after reading Last Rights by Pamela Fryer. What a ride! Seriously, this book hits the floor running and never really stops. Even when things slow for a moment, in the background there’s always that knowledge that something is going to happen.

Last Rights tackles an interesting topic, and one that is very relevant: human cloning and organ harvesting. With the advances the scientific and medical communities are making today, this is something I suspect we’ll have to face. Maybe even in my lifetime.

The story follows a woman who is transporting her much-loved nephew’s clone in order to harvest its heart for transplanting. From the start, she’s in trouble—she’s pursued by anti-cloning fanatics, and then eventually by the entire country when she’s accused of breaking the law. Thankfully, although she’s a pretty capable person, she has help from an AWOL soldier, John White.

John’s a great character. He’s conflicted, flawed, strong and full of angst. He’s compelled to help Fallon and the clone and he doesn’t know why, but eventually he stays to help because he’s falling for them. For both of them. And the feeling is mutual.

The love scenes in this book were touching, hot and very appropriate. It reminded me a bit of the first Terminator movie where, with danger only possibly moments away, the need the protagonists had for one another became something they couldn’t resist. Sometimes, in romantic suspense novels, it’s as though the characters forget someone is after them and leap into bed. Not so, here. But their need is great. Desperate and filled with emotion.

I can’t tell you how strongly this book held my attention. The author has serious writing skills, and created real characters I cared about. I was turning pages as quickly as possible fighting the urge to peek at the end because I couldn’t imagine how this could end well.

Truly, my only complaint—and it isn’t much of one—is that, for a story set in the future, few things seemed truly different in the world. For a world who had perfected human cloning, the technology seemed to lag behind in everything else. There were the occasional nods to science fiction: stunners instead of guns, for instance, but even so the story felt as though it were set in today’s world. In some ways, that made it even more horrible. More real. Still, as a sci-fi fan, the lack of differences between the author’s world and ours was a bit frustrating.

Still, this is a book I loved. A book I’ve been blabbing about to anyone who will listen. It’s a book that will stay with me and one I’m so glad I read. I can’t recommend it enough. It was amazing.

When Daisy Budd and her slightly dysfunctional sisters decide to turn a mortuary into a fashionable wedding boutique, they expect some opposition. After all, towns like Mayville don’t care much for change. But when a body shows up in the mortuary’s fountain, Daisy knows it’s time to leave the bridezillas behind and solve the mystery. Nick Bowman, disinherited son of the town’s leading family, is back after a seven-year estrangement. He’s determined to protect his late grandfather’s reputation by locating some loot supposedly hidden in the mortuary’s cellar. But Nick’s quest is complicated by the new owner. Daisy doesn’t trust his motives and she’s uncomfortable with the sparks the two of them generate, especially since Nick used to date her sister. When a second body shows up at the mortuary, Nick and Daisy need to work together to find the truth—but what happens when their inconvenient sparks become flames?

It’s all a matter of life and death, but it seems someone wants to make it more about death. For Better or Hearse sizzles with suspense, charm, and a whole lot of fun.

Daisy’s life has had it’s share of downfalls.

The story’s hero is Nick. A bit of a bad boy, womanizer, or so we’re lead to believe. There must have been some bad blood between Nick and the sisters, because no one wants him to come around. Though it seems he’s everywhere these days, much to the womens chagrin. The further into this novel I went, the more I liked Nick. Sure, there’s a few moments where I wondered about him and his intentions, but overall he won me over.

For Better or Hearse packs a mixture of romance, suspense, laughter, and adventure. The tension between Nick and Daisy sizzle, leaving a lot of intense moments where they either wanted to strangle the other, or fall in love.

Ms. Yost writes with charm and emotion. Her stories are enjoyable, fast paced, and uplifting. This one is no different. It’s another for the keeper shelves.

But There May Be Places He Doesn’t Want To Go…

Fiercely protective of her little girl, Danielle isn’t about to let Jesse get anywhere close enough to hurt either of them, no matter how much longing she sees in his eyes…

Trouble comes in threes, but it is so worth it.

I’ve had the honor of reading all of the books in CH Admirand’s Secret Life of Cowboys series. It’s hard to choose which book was my favorite, but Jesse just might be the one. I laughed, held on for dear life, and ended up grinning more than a couple of times. Then there’s the heat! Ms Admirand’s stories are sure to require a glass of something cold while reading.

What I enjoyed the most about this story was Danielle. There seems to be a trend of heroines who come out of the gate claws out and ready to rumble.I like a hard edged heroine, but Danielle, for all she’s been through, is more mature.

He never saw her coming…

Spencer Lark already knows too many secrets about Arizona Storm, including the nightmare she survived and her resulting trust issues. But in order to expose a smuggling ring—and continue avenging his own tragic past—the bounty hunter reluctantly agrees to make Arizona a decoy. Yet nothing has equipped him for her hypnotic blend of fragility and bravery, or for the protective instincts she stirs in him.

Arizona wants to reclaim her life, which means acting as bait to lure the enemy into a trap. Sure it’s dangerous, especially with a partner as distractingly appealing as Spencer. But as their plan—and their chemistry—shifts into high gear, Arizona may discover there’s an even greater risk in surrendering her heart to a hero….

Toughness overload!

Spencer and Arizona are quite a pair. I’d read people complaining about the age difference between them. She’s rather young (21), and he’s a tad older than her, but it’s not unrealistic.

There are moments when it didn’t come across to me that she’d been through some really rough stuff. That said, I can’t assume how anyone whose been in the situation Arizona’s been in, how they would deal with life. Sometimes she came across a bit immature and other times almost too tough to believe. I saw this behavior as a coping mechanism and it didn’t bother me as much as it could’ve.

Still, there is a lot of tenderness and a great deal of heat in this book. Reading how Spencer and Arizona have their story is quite touching. I’m glad I got this book for review and will happily read it again.

Charity Barlow wished to marry for love. The rakish Lord Robert wishes only to tuck her away in the country once an heir is produced.

A country-bred girl, Charity Barlow suddenly finds herself married to a marquess, an aloof stranger determined to keep his thoughts and feelings to himself. She and Lord Robert have been forced by circumstances to marry, and she feels sure she is not the woman he would have selected given a choice.

The Marquess of St. Malin makes it plain to her that their marriage is merely for the procreation of an heir, and once that is achieved, he intends to continue living the life he enjoyed before he met her.

While he takes up his life in London once more, Charity is left to wander the echoing corridors of St. Malin House, when she isn’t thrown into the midst of the mocking Haute Ton. Charity is not at all sure she likes her new social equals, as they live by their own rules, which seem rather shocking. She’s not at all sure she likes her new husband either, except for his striking appearance and the dark desire in his eyes when he looks at her, which sends her pulses racing.

Lord Robert is a rake and does not deserve her love, but neither does she wish to live alone. Might he be suffering from a sad past? Seeking to uncover it, Charity attempts to heal the wound to his heart, only to make things worse between them. Will he ever love her?

To be a penniless orphan looking for a way to make a living or be a marchioness is a decision Charity Barlow must make; to live with wealth and magnificent homes or perhaps be a governess in someone else’s home, living in the shadows and teaching someone else’s children.

It seems expedient to marry the new marquess. He’s strikingly handsome and willing to postpone consummating their marriage until they get to know each other better and then only for siring an heir and a spare. Also, it’s what her deceased godfather wanted. However, Charity believes marriage is a sacred institution, plus she always dreamed of marrying for love.

Robert, the new marquess of St. Malin, sees marriage as inconsequential and doesn’t believe in love. His proposal is upfront with Charity. He will marry her to keep his vast inheritance, but he will continue living the life he likes—mistress, gambling, racing, and London Society entertainment pastimes.

He’s determined to keep his freedom but magnanimously offers her all the perks of being a marchioness.

Maggi Andersen takes the late nineteenth century mores of London Society, a self-centered young nobleman, and a countrified, intelligent, kind, ‘all-alone’ young woman and creates a captivating story of love—in a time when love and fidelity were SO out of fashion.

The petite, delicate Charity tackles the task of being a marchioness full-steam-ahead, hoping to make her husband love, trust, and respect her. She showcases all the fancy clothes and exquisite jewels he feels befit a rich marquess’ wife. She sits for a portrait that he commissions. Moreover, she copes with the gossip, flirting, and one-upsmanship that ebb and flow in the ton. Still, her husband is remote, though flawlessly courteous. He neglects her until she “made a mistake”. In a jealous rage, he berates her.

Wow, does he find out his Charity is no little country mouse. When he roars at her, she roars back at him with accusations that hit home—like, he’s spoiled, pompous, self-centered, careless and unkind toward her.

Robert, stuck in an emotional time warp that goes back to his early teens and with a mindset of the privileged nobility struggles with “keeping his freedom” while learning to manage his estates vast wealth, and keeping his enticing little wife at bay emotionally.

As his metamorphosis makes him complete, he finally becomes a worthy hero to the generous heroine who berates herself for not being more appreciative of things he did for her before he realized he loved her.

While Maggi Andersen uses the usual elements found in romances set in this historical era in English, she weaves them together uniquely so The Reluctant Marquess sparkles and captivates. She captures the reader’s senses with delightful metaphors and compelling comparisons. The scents, sounds, etc. of London compared to those of Cornwell take the reader into the settings to feels the differences. This unique parallel is rather symbolic of how Charity and Robert’s relationship unfolds. While in London their relationship is polluted with all the trappings of Society, but in Cornwall it is fresh, clean, and pure; strong enough to find that happy-ever-after. Good entertainment.

Faced with an abhorrent betrothal, Cailin Macmillan flees her father’s castle and quickly learns that a woman traveling alone in Medieval Scotland is an easy target for ruthless English soldiers. When Highland patriot Connor Fraser comes to her aid, his steadfast dedication to king and country is challenged by his overwhelming desire to protect Cailin—even if he must marry her to do so.

Accused of murdering one of her attackers and determined to rely on her own resourcefulness, Cailin dresses as a lad, intent on seeking refuge at the camp of Robert the Bruce. Can she elude an enemy from her past—a vindictive English lord bent on her utter demise—or will she fall prey to his carnal intent and be executed for a crime she did not commit?

No halfway measures in this story; it practically jumps off the pages with action, heart-in-the-throat close calls, and love scenes that heat the blood and send it racing. Highland Legacy reaches out and grabs one’s attention and emotions and doesn’t let go until the very end.

Eighteen-year-old Cailin McMillan, feisty, intelligent, and tenacious, decides the outside world she knows little about has to be better than her father’s cruelty and his despicable plans for her. She finds the horrors and hardships she suffers along with the danger that nips at her heels often rival her father’s treatment. The tapestry of her life is dark indeed, until Connor Fraser, a Highlander warrior comes to her rescue. He brings a touch of light to her dark story—a light that grows to a glowing golden love, albeit, not without going through the fires of refinement. To her he is magnificent—one of God’s masterpieces.

Connor Fraser has pledged fealty to Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland. He knows death stalks him as he rides into battle after battle. Consequently, he wants no wife that could be his widow at any moment; nor does he want to love someone. The hurt of losing his parents and two brothers is still a raw, aching pain in his heart.

He’s laird of the Fraser clan since Alasdair chose not to accept the responsibility when their oldest brother died. Big, crude, insensitive Alasdair is older than Connor, but leadership is not for him. viagra best prices You can consider these factors as vital aspects in your search for the right institute.

He sees the world from a very different angle than many, but he never fails in his loyalty to Connor. Bryce, the younger brother, is far more civilized yet just as loyal and good in a fight as his brothers. These three are a force to be reckoned with.

Set in the early fourteenth century when England was determined to place Scotland under English rule, Highland Legacy bristles with hostilities, intrigues, and vicious inhumane treatment of people. During this era, English law allowed nobility to get away with murder and all kinds of horrific treatment especially to women. It curdles the blood to see the absolute lack of value placed on women during this time.

The antagonist, Lord Borden, borders on insanity in his vendetta against Cailin. He and Cailin’s father are the darkest threads in the tapestry of the heroine’s life.

But, while extreme cruelty stalked the land at one end of the continuum, at the other end, extreme love that knows no bounds is strong and true, a bright golden thread that eclipses the darkness. The breathtaking, earth-shattering love Connor and Cailin share is spellbinding. WOW!

B. J. Scott’s Highland Legacy is exciting, graphic, sometimes humorous, and always gives a sense of urgency. While not a long story, it is chocked full of compelling characters and has all the elements one expects to find in a historical set in the Highlands during this era. Ms. Scott’s writing style engages the senses and emotions without let up. Good reading!

Danger comes packaged in bulging muscles…and a codpiece.

Games of Love, Book 2

Highland Games athlete Michael O’Leary is famous for his ability to charm a woman right out of her pants. Maybe a little too famous. When he’s sidelined with a knee injury, his wingman pounces on the chance to take full advantage of Michael’s idle time.

Trying out for the local adult-themed Shakespearean production seems simple, but there’s a catch. Michael must woo the notoriously demanding lead actress, Rachel Hewitt, thereby freeing his friend to pursue a courtship of Rachel’s sister.

Rachel hates the thought of handing over the lead role in her admittedly scandalous troupe to someone so wholly uneducated in the ways of the Great Bard. But she’s in a bind, and the only one who can step up is a man who looks way too good in a codpiece—and knows it.

To add insult to injury, he refuses to take the role until she agrees to take his place in some barbaric warrior race. She’ll do it, but not with a smile. Unfortunately, the hardest part isn’t antagonizing her Scottish foes. It’s resisting the one man who seems determined to line and cue her heart—forever.

What could be better than a hero in a codpiece?

My first observation is that I was disappointed that this was not the naughty, saucy Shakespearean romp the back of the book promised me. My second is this story is so much more.

Ms. Morgan did not write careful, thoughtful characters. The reason for its low price is because the price of sildenafil tablets india try this store now research and research and marketing is removed. Its generic brand is sildenafil and the medication is highly sought after today, as it not only https://www.supplementprofessors.com/viagra-8105.html cialis generic pills harms his health but also the personal relationship of the person which is not good enough for the man.

I could go on, but you get my point. Because these characters tend to read as “real”, this story can be difficult to read at times. When Rachel, our heroine, does something stupid, one just wants to yell at her. (I might recommend reading this away from other people if you tend to talk to your books while reading them!) The flip side includes crying, longing, and cheering for and with her.

Speaking of characters, our hero, Michael is definitely one who grabbed my attention. Hard headed, deeply loyal, with an amusing propensity for limericks, he tends to be on the vulgar side at times. Those who can be easily offended should beware. However, despite his vocabulary, and his occasional stubborn hard-headedness, he’s a wonderful hero in so many different ways.

The secondary characters are no less well-crafted. From Rachel’s sister Molly, to Michael’s best friend Eric, to the girls’ mother and Michael’s uncle, they all leave a piece of themselves with you.

The addition of the Highland Games is a unique touch, and allows for some lovely descriptions of eye candy (as well as their hard work). It also gives Michael the opportunity to wear a kilt (and who amongst us doesn’t love a man in a kilt?!)

Yes, there is more than one happily ever after, but the way they get there is definitely a roller coaster ride. If this roller coaster is one you want to hop on, you may want to purchase this book rather than borrow it – I think you’ll want to visit these folks again!

But when a Fire Dragon, a very rare creature who can not only take human form but turn himself into pure flame, seeks her out, she has to put her disbelief behind her. The arrogant and wild Seth teaches Carol not only about fire dragons, but about her own latent mage powers that pulled him instinctively to her. The secret of the Fire Dragon might help Carol win the day or be the means to her destruction.

Sexy dragons, mysterious mages, naked men and ferocious magical battles all take turns at amazing and astounding a reader in this rich and vibrant world created by Ms. James.

First off, this is absolutely a standalone read. Why do I say that? Because this is the first book in the series that I’ve read and I wasn’t lost or confused or felt left out. It definitely whet my appetite for more of these sexy, macho and alpha dragons and from the sounds of it, two others preceded this one. If they are as good as The Dragon Master is, I’m in for a nail-biting treat.

This story is filled with suspense, drama, dark and furious action, populated with enough varied and eccentric characters to keep a reader fascinated. The dialogue is easy flowing and sounded believable to the characters. I noticed how the dragons spoke a bit differently than modern day speech which enhanced their flavor of ‘otherness’. It was a good touch. They seem to be not from Earth but not separated from it either. It’s like there was this door in the space time continuum that long ago was easier to breach and they used to visit Earth. Nowadays there needs to be a person with special magical abilities to open the ‘door’. From the sounds of it, that was one of the dragon stories I missed, which I’m on the lookout for. For the purpose of this story, it’s a done deal and that skill is used in crucial moments, to track, to reconnect, and to heal. It’s an exciting plot component.

The darkness comes in the form of the threat from a secret organization. They are twisted, and criminal and extremely obsessed about succeeding in their quest at all costs. Only two people stand in their way and they are Carol, the heroine, and Seth, the dragon and hero. However, the first order of business is for Carol and Seth to overcome their differences, scales notwithstanding, learn to trust and believe in the intentions of the other and discover the strengths and weaknesses in their relationship. One thing’s for sure, their sexual compatibility is explosive. Erectile Dysfunction condition in man is the one who gets cialis for cheap price affected due to the following reasons: Imbalance in the essential hormones like progesterone and estrogen. Additionally, Sildenafil mastercard cialis medications are linked with decreased blood pressure. This blood proficiency makes the organ becoming erect and gets true use of cialis 20mg australia . So I went cialis pills uk to the doctor but he didn t find any problems and said it comes from my mind. The author wrote those scenes effectively, they were seductive, sensual, romantic and scorching hot. They were a pleasure to read and were crucial to the plot. It’s a fire thing.

It’s not all stress and mayhem however. There are quiet moments of reflection, of loving and of learning. There is the sense of family and connection and yet, although it takes place in the United States, because it’s in Chinatown, it has an exotic feel as well. It was a good mix of modern day life mixed with ancient heritage and beliefs. At first they clash but as Carol learns to accept her new reality, they align themselves so I figure she’ll eventually be able to function in both worlds. It won’t be easy but it’ll be worth it with Seth at her side. Certainly the heroine’s personality grows and matures after the adventures she experiences in this book and a lot of the catalyst for change comes from the hero. Loving him brings more than just power, it gives her a future. It’s a wonderful thing.

One of the aspects of this book that I greatly enjoyed was the not knowing. The author presented so many fascinating and unusual ideas and concepts and her writing brought them to vivid life to the point that I couldn’t stop reading. Every chapter had its own hook, its own special revelation that kept me on the edge of my seat. Because I had to know, had to find out, had to make sure Carol and Seth were going to safe, I found this story completely engrossing and couldn’t put it down. Ms. James has an amazing writing skill.

Whether you’re a fan of dragons, paranormal romances, romantic suspense or just naked alpha men, The Dragon Master is an marvelous adventure story that delivers a wonderful happy ever after. It has so much going for it and has such an incredible amount of detail to enrich a reader’s reading experience, it’s a must read. I may have chosen the book initially because of the cover and blurb, but I’ll be going back for more because of the quality of content and writing. I had a great experience.

Fire stole his future, until she reclaimed him from the ashes.

Knowing he can never have children of his own, Jonathan Everleigh, Earl of Mercia, marries scandal-plagued Juliette Markham, saving her from disgrace. But when he finds his ruined bride is still a virgin on their wedding night, Jonathan is vows to annul their marriage. But when Juliette discovers that she actually is with child, this time from her wedding night, she is as determined to stay married as he is to leave her.

When Jonathan’s past catches up with them, the Earl and Lady Mercia must navigate their marital problems, countless dangers, and a final confrontation with the madness plaguing them.

If they can make it out alive, love might be there waiting for them on the other side.

“Ignorance is bliss” may be true for some, but for the pretty, playful, inquisitive nineteen-year-old Juliette Markham it is not bliss, but bodaciously bad. Her lack of knowledge turns her world and pretty much everybody else’s associated with her topsy-turvy.

Jonathan Everleigh, the widowed Earl of Mercia, cannot refuse his dear friend Carlton Markham’s request. He agrees to be temporary guardian for Juliette while Carlton and his wife travel to America. But he feels old and cursed. His unfaithful wife and her child died as had his family years before. He survived the fire that killed his family and inherited his title at age fourteen—his youth lost, heavy responsibilities, scars from the fire, and finally the death of his unfaithful wife and a child had shaped his life. He believes everyone he loves will be taken from him, so he locks himself away from love and lives to do his DUTY.

Although a formal, unemotional man with a serious voice, his new ward, the adventurous Juliette, sees him as a man in his prime, tall, strong, and with scars that do not matter a whit to her. She’s not intimidated by him but finds him fascinating, mysterious, and intriguing while others feel he’s a force to be obeyed and even feared if crossed.

Nobody steps over the mark with him, but Juliette doesn’t know that. She goes to his library not properly attired, causing him to think red-hot, base thoughts (how dare she!). She asks to read his books that no one touches. She moves a chess piece that no one touches—a silent challenge.

He reaches his limit when she does not obey when he orders her to stop as she runs to help a woman, whose skirt is on fire, putting herself in danger. More than that, she doesn’t give an inch when called on the carpet, but says she’ll not obey blindly. She has been taught to use her own good judgment. She suggests they agree to treat each other fairly. He’s astonished at her temerity.

Aware that she did not use good judgment when she let William coax her into the barn and ply her with wine while she was still at home, she’s worried sick about what really happened. With no one else to turn to, she goes to Jonathan, sad and confused with fears of her ruin. Not shirking his duty as guardian, he finds who he thinks will suit well enough for her, only to have his plan blow up. My goodness, what a tangled mess things get in. Jonathan’s inability to break out of the cage of self-protection he built in order to survive threatens to destroy any chance he has for happiness. However, Juliette’s tenacity and love make her gamble her “all” and fight with every weapon she has to pull Jonathan into the NOW REALITY of his life.

The secondary characters play important roles in the plot, the intrigues, the meanness, and the emotional stress that grab the reader’s attention and keeps one turning pages. Jonathan’s mother, Shelby, Jonathan’s cousin and heir and his mother are part of a sub-plot that reveals back story, helps bring the main plot together, and gives foreshadowing of who the arsonist is that has plagued the estate for years. Juliette’s Aunt Olivia and Jonathan’s solicitor Elijah Moreland make an intriguing side story while Juliette’s father’s solicitor and his son bring a whole new element to the plot. Surprise upon surprise crops up with some breath-holding events involved. The climax of A Maiden’s Mistake assails the senses and quickens emotions. It’s both spine-tingling and heart-warming.

Elizabeth Ashtree’s delightful writing style makes smooth, enticing reading. She uses bits of humor, bits of history, suspense, lots of emotional stress and angst with a fair amount of greed and evil doings to create a captivating story that’s hard to put down until Jonathan and Juliette find their happy-ever-after. Most enjoyable!
