It’ll take more than rope to tie down the man they love.

Country Fever, Book 3

When Christian comes out of the bar to find a bat-wielding country girl beating the hell out of his best friend Tucker’s truck, he does the only thing he can—he flirts with her. Unfortunately, he knows her pain—he’s in love with Tucker too.

Claire plans to nurse her bruised heart alone, but inevitably Tucker draws her back in—along with Christian—and the three of them tumble headlong into delirious passion. Then she and Christian wake to find that Tucker has fled his horse ranch, leaving them to care for the animals and each other.

Still grieving the death of his fiancée, pressured to sign over mining rights to a coal company, Tucker is boots-deep in emotional turmoil. Running only sharpens his longing for what he truly wants—Christian and Claire in his bed, in the barn, and under the stars.

But roping themselves firmly inside the circle of love will take everything they have—bulldogged determination, flying fists and aching hearts.

Straight out of a country song, this sexy book opened with a feisty gal beating the crap outta her man’s truck, in a beer joint parking lot. It sounds exciting … and it sure was a sexy romp. Right away, I was drawn into this story, figuring it was bound to be one heck of a ride. It ended up being one of the most awesome books that I’ve read in a long time. I was enthralled, devouring it in one sitting, couldn’t bring myself to put it down.
Before taking levitra price pills, it is advised that you take, levitra with the recommendation of your healthcare provider.

The book got off to a great start, with Christian and Claire crossing paths just as she is taking her frustrations out on his best friend’s truck. It seems that Tucker is a bit of a hound dawg and he has jilted the wrong gal this time. There were much deeper issues at play with Tucker though, that came out in the story later on. Christian threatens the spitfire holding the bat with 3-5, but actually he is impressed with her fire. He knows what it’s like cause he has been in love with Tucker for a long time. That’s where the fireworks really started and took this book full speed into some wicked sexy fun.

Christian and Tucker are best friends that have a voyeuristic relationship. They get off on teasing each other and darned if I didn’t enjoy those scenes almost as much as they did.  The sexual tension between these two guys sizzled, it definitely kept this reader on edge. The author did a fantastic job at showing me what the characters were feeling, and it was obvious that Christian and Tucker were conflicted about their relationship. So far, it’s hands off, but they were dancing pretty close to the flames at that point. Scared to take the final step, not wanting to lose the friendship.

I felt that Tucker was the alpha in the relationship and he was the most troubled as well. He was chasing a ghost, his lost love, and with the guilt and fear he was afraid to fall in love. When Christian confronts him about doing Claire wrong, he feels guilty. No doubt he was a troubled man that wanted to move on but couldn’t let go of his grief. There is no denying that he felt something for Claire, that was part of the problem that prompted him to hurt her.

Then the guys decide to go after Claire with seduction on their minds and things got exciting. Em Petrova is one author that knows her way around an erotic scene. This book is not for the faint of heart. It’s risque, with explicit scenes that might not be everyone’s cup of tea. It was right up my alley and I enjoyed every single second. This triad does some serious exploring with every possible position and combination. On a personal note, The M/M and M/M/F scenes were some of the best I’ve come across, with a connection between Christian and Tucker that was loving and personal. Discerning readers will want to read the warnings clearly for this one, though, as some of the scenes are vividly detailed with anal play and voyeurism. For intrepid readers such as myself … you won’t be disappointed with this book.

Alas, the fun was cut short when Tucker panics at how easily the ghost of his lost love could be put to rest. He runs away from his ranch and his lovers, leaving them alone to console each other. At this point I fell completely in love with Christian. He was broken up, but he really held things together for Claire. His concern, his tenderness has made him one of my favorite romantic heroes. It’s no wonder they grew even closer, becoming inseparable. It became clear that they had a truly romantic and caring relationship. Together they faced some difficulties, had some problems with Tucker’s greedy relatives, and waited for Tucker to return to them.

It has to be said, that I felt this book was absolutely perfect. I can’t say enough good things about it. This was a very compelling and memorable story. It was the deep love that the triad shared, and that the author aptly showed with her excellent character development, that captivated this reader. This is one that I am sure to read again and again. I’m not done raving about it just yet. I will be sharing the joy, recommending it as a must read, to all of my friends. I am suggesting that everyone should try this amazing author.

Happy Reading!

Fire and Rain, Book 1

When an accident burns down Jesse’s apartment, he’s left broke and homeless, with a giant dog and a college schedule he can’t afford to maintain. And no family who’s willing to take him in.

Lucky for him, a sexy fireman offers him a place to stay. The drawback? The fireman’s big Latino family lives next door, and they don’t know their son is gay.

It offers stronger, cialis online prices harder and longer erections. I thought that this was such a simple fix!!! If you continue to have issues after checking these things one shouldn’t make further delay in choosing the most suitable viagra prices canada way so that he or she can get outcomes at lesser effort and at lesser expenses. Standard is meant as a goal for having cialis canada prescription a healthy sex life, is much higher than those who do not. Many have cialis wholesale india actually been quite successful with little or no treatment at all. Tomas’s parents made their way in America with hard work and by accepting help when it was offered, so he won’t let Jesse drop out of school just so he can afford a place to live. Besides, Jesse’s the perfect roommate—funny, sweet and breathtakingly cute. He climbs into Tomas’s bed and tugs at his heart. Until Jesse starts pushing for more.

Their passion enflames their bodies but threatens to crush Tomas’s family. Tomas is willing to fight for Jesse, but after losing everything, Jesse isn’t sure he can bear to risk his one remaining possession—his heart.

Sometimes when you lose everything, you find what you’ve always wanted. Jesse has just lost everything he owned in an apartment fire. He’d saved up and moved out of his parents’ disapproving home finally but after only a short time, he’s back to zero. Except this time without anywhere to go and a dog he’s unexpectedly claimed. Thankfully, hunky firefighter Tomas offers his home to Jesse. With nowhere to go, Jesse accepts and the two immediately click. While they are exploring sex together in new ways for both of them, their relationship isn’t quite as smooth sailing. Tomas is in the closet and Jesse is out and proud. The two struggle to find a middle ground.

From the Ashes is a nice story with a gentle romance. The two main characters, Tomas and Jesse, are friendly but have a definite attraction. Thus they get sexual pretty quickly, but with Jesse a virgin and Tomas having some sexual hangups, they ease into sex in a really nice progression. It fits with their relationship in general. However, Jesse is out and proud and insists on not hiding either who he is or who he loves. He can’t understand Tomas’ desire to be in the closet with his family, but eventually comes to recognize how Tomas’ family operates. Both men must give a little to get a lot in return and their road has some easy bumps that doesn’t upset the balance too much.

The characterization is nice and gives both men room to mature and expand. They’re not perfect and definitely make mistakes, together and individually, over the course of the story. I had some issues with the way Jesse and Tomas would act, but appreciated that they could actually talk things over instead of assuming and running off, with one exception. I found some of the scenes overly melodramatic, such as the scenes with Jesse’s parents. This scene and others, usually those involving the coffee house friend Michael, seem to add very little to the characters or the story. I think the author is setting up the secondary characters to have their own books but I never connected to them so felt these scenes were superfluous.

Harris’ writing is engaging and easy to read. It has a melodic quality that fits with the characters and their romance. This isn’t a hot and heavy read, but more so gentle and quiet as the two men slowly find their way to understanding and love. They certainly fall in love fast but that doesn’t mean all problems are solved. It’s nice to see that although they love each other too quickly, they still have to learn about each other and make mistakes to actually grow. I enjoyed reading From the Ashes and can recommend it for those readers who like a gentler, sweeter romance.

This causes her father to send her to Boston for some much needed training.

She returns years later, no longer Lizzie, but Elisabeth, a beautiful, sophisticated lady. And Tavis notices, but remains aloof, until their forced marriage drives them apart, and Elisabeth makes a life for herself without him. How could she know that one day the man who has haunted her dreams for years…the same man who abandoned her on her wedding night, would come walking down a sandy Nantucket beach, determined to win back her love.

You never miss what you had … until it’s gone. Heaven Knows is a wonderful and heartbreaking tale of unrequited love. It’s an old school romance, the likes of which I hadn’t seen in a while. The author broke my heart and made me sigh before giving me the happy ending that I craved. You know what ? I loved every word of this story.

Her antics caused her family to send her away to live with an aunt in Boston for several years. Years later, she finally returns to her hometown of Nantucket as Elisabeth, a beautiful and poised young lady. Still Tavis spurns her love and was at times snarly and rude, ridiculing her to my dismay. It seemed that Tavis had some baggage from his past, he thinks that everyone he loves ends up leaving him in the end. He doesn’t believe that a future with Elisabeth is in the cards, he doesn’t want there to be either.

Then they are forced together, desire takes over and he sleeps with her. Her family finds out and force them into marriage to save Elisabeth’s reputation.

Of course in all romance books the guy is gonna get the girl, but in this book the journey to a happy ending was filled with heartache and frustrations. It made an entertaining read, and my greedy romantic heart loved every second.

The author’s writing style and the engaging characters ensnared me right from the beginning. The plot was intriguing and and filled with romantic heartache. It was a true pleasure reading a book such as this one, with the authentic dialogue and eloquent prose. The entire book covered a good chunk of time, though, and there were some times when the story bogged down a little bit. I felt that the author gave too much detail to Elisabeth’s time in Boston and with the people she met there. The tentative romance with her friend’s brother, Harry, seemed inconsequential to me. The relationship had absolutely no effect on the heroine even though I’d thought that maybe it would. It irritated me once I’d realized that it wasn’t going anywhere, so I could’ve done without it entirely. Other than that , I felt that the book was perfect. It was a story that played on every emotion I had, I felt fruststed with Tavis, and heartache for Elisabeth. It kept me in a state of suspense with all the romantic angst. I sighed with joy at the romantic ending and the wonderful epilogue.

I suggest that anyone who loves historical romance is bound to love this book. It is romance written the way it should be and I loved it. Everyone should read at least one of Elaine Coffman’s wonderful books. I’m thinking that you won’t be disappointed.

Her husband murdered, Maggie Ramsay is left the homeless widow of a Scottish duke. So she marries a California lumber baron by proxy, and sails for California to meet Adrian Mackinnon, without telling him about her three children.

Adrian wanted a beauty of a wife, but what he got was plain Maggie, who captures the hearts of his lumberjacks. She is close to capturing Adrian’s heart as well, until her children arrive, and Adrian withdraws, leaving Maggie to realize she is in love with him. Yet, the more she tries to show her love, the harder his heart becomes, and she fears he is lost to her forever. Until fate intervenes, and tragedy strikes, leaving Adrian to make a choice that will change his life forever.

So This is Love is the fourth book in the Mackinnon series. It is a heartwarming and romantic tale that took me back to the days when I first fell in love with the Historical Romance genre. It is a brilliantly written novel, with believable characters whose lives are in such turmoil that I was drawn into the story right from the start. Their path to love was strewn with heartache, grief and pain. With conflict and suspense aplenty, So This is Love is a compelling and dramatic book.

In this complex book we meet Maggie, a Scottish lass whose husband meets death at the hands of a greedy relative. Maggie and her three small children are in a bad situation, which leads her to accept a marriage to Adrian Mackinnon. Adrian is pining after his lost love, the woman who married his twin brother, Alex, in For All the Right Reasons. I must say that losing Katherine had left Adrian a bitter man indeed. In fact I found him hard to like . He has decided that he will have his brother Ross find him a suitable lady, and sends an impossibly long list of requirements for his bride to be. Ross breaks the rules and sends Maggie, leaving out the fact that she is a widow with three children.
Though the developments are quite remarkable in this on line levitra aimhousepatong.com field, drug interventions are quite an active focus of research but the efficacy of it remains quite debatable.

Adrian had some high expectations in his new wife, yet he acted less than a gentleman himself. At first he came across as cold-hearted, sending for a bride and then looking for reasons to hate her. It was almost as if he didn’t want her to replace Katherine. In fact I was sure of it as he went on worshiping her and made his feelings no secret. He was not a happy man and took it out on Maggie. I got so mad at him for some of the things he did that hurt her.

Maggie was a very likeable heroine. She was sensible and forthright, and showed great patience with Adrian. She didn’t set out to decieve her husband, she didn’t know what Ross had done. She felt guilty after realizing that Adrian didn’t know everything about her. She wanted the marriage to work and hoped to make him fall in love with her before revealing some things she knew he wouldn’t take well. I liked that she stood up to Adrian when he acted like a jerk. Not once did she come across as a simpering doormat.

The character developement was excellent, delving into personalities and showing me why they made the decisions they did. I found out that they were both conflicted about their past as well as the future. Adrian had some hidden depths that I didn’t notice right away. The story spanned several months time and the author packed a lot of heartache and turmoil in so that it never once got bogged down. Making the book even more entertaining was the suspense as someone was out to take Adrian down. Then just as Adrian and Maggie were drawing closer, the kids showed up. The story got intense at this point and I wondered if the hero could be redeemed, or even if I wanted him to be. This author knows how to make her story dramatic, it takes a near tragedy and three darling children to melt Adrian’s heart.

So This is Love is a touching and beautiful romantic novel. I found it to be a wonderful example of historical romance. I enjoyed it. I’m happy to recommend it to all lovers of romance.

When the situation turns deadly, Arabella and Raymond are forced to hide in the country. As she finds herself succumbing to Raymond’s puckish charm, Arabella starts formulating a new plan: how to persuade a rake to propose.

I could not put this book down with its enchanting characters, diabolical plots, and just all around great entertainment.

Raymond is a charming devil who can woo any woman. There is just something about the way he carries himself that causes women to follow him around like puppy dogs looking for a home. Every women but Arabella, that is, so it is only natural that she is the only woman that he craves.

With all of Raymond’s endearing (and not so endearing) qualities he still did not outshine Arabella. While reading this story I could not help but think that Arabella is a modern woman stuck in a historical time. While she may seem a bit shy and timid to an outsider it is clearly not the case once one gets to know her. She has spent her whole life walking on eggshells around men and she will no longer put up with it. So she finds an inner strength that she did not realize she had and declares her independence no matter the cost. As a female who also sees herself as independent I appreciated this declaration and rooted for her to find her independence, while not letting it blind her to the opportunities that have presented themselves or always existed.

The author created some intricate plot lines that really drove this story from beginning to end. The conflict  is a driving force behind the story as well as the love interest, and other sub plot that either help or hinder Arabella and Raymond keep the pages turning. The plot and the dynamic characters really seem to enhance one another and created one spectacular story. Even before I finished the story I was asking myself when I would be able to read it again. I even referred the book to others before getting to the last page. The author definitely has a winner with this story, and I would highly recommend you get it today.

Shanghai Love is a gripping novel about the unlikely love story that develops between a Chinese herbalist and a Jewish refugee in Shanghai during World War II. Peilin is betrothed to Kwan Yao, the only son of a wealthy pearl farmer. However, months before their wedding, Yao is killed by the Japanese in the Nanjing Massacre. The Kwans insist on proceeding with the wedding and beautiful Peilin is married to a ghost husband. When an uncle passes away, Peilin is sent to Shanghai to manage the Kwan family herbal shop. Meanwhile, in Berlin, Henri graduates from medical school just as Hitler rises to power and unleashes prejudice and violence against the Jewish population. He flees to Shanghai where he’s befriended by Ping, a young disfigured rickshaw driver. Ping introduces Henri to his sister Peilin. Through her kindness, Henri becomes fascinated with Chinese herbs as well as the exotic culture surrounding him. Shanghai Love is a classic story of love’s triumph over adversity.

This story caught my attention because one of the main characters was married to a ghost. Her marriage was arranged years ago and by her wedding day, her potential mate had been killed in the war. I knew about arranged marriages, but not about ghost weddings. Can you imagine being wed, living in his parent’s home and serving his mother with no hope of a real wedding and life? I can’t!

Ms. Wong sets her story back in the 40’s when the Nazi’s were persecuting Jews. She peppers her story with weak people who become strong due to circumstances. That’s a very realistic way to look at life. Her words flow well and I felt like I was back in a simpler time when all that mattered was having enough to eat and a place to live.

I really enjoyed how the author handled this part of the story. She shares Chinese traditions and makes them seem real. They were foreign to me, but I can see the beauty of their traditions.

Another thing that I learned from reading this story was that there were quite a few Chinese and Jewish refugees in Shanghai. I like reading books I learn from. I also really liked this romance. The author did a lovely job of teaching you some facts and making you love her characters. I was impressed enough with this story that the book is going in my personal library as a keeper.

Thrown out on the street by his homophobic stepfather, Dylan struggles to get his life together. Years of being used and abused have left him tough and determined to make it on his own. When he sees a dog getting beaten, his protective instincts drive him to rescue her. But as the attackers turn on Dylan, out of the shadows comes a hero. One with mysterious eyes and a shy sensuality Dylan can’t resist.

Cam Coburn can’t reveal his true identity to the man he rescues. Nor can he reveal that he’s a freak among freaks, a cockatrice shifter with an unwanted gift for seeking out conflict rather than treasure. Newly independent from his mentor, Cam sees in Dylan his first chance to test the limits of his human guise. Defying every rule, Cam succumbs to Dylan’s seduction for just one night. But Cam finds he can’t let his lover go, and Dylan breaks down every barrier. For he is the one human who can gaze in a cockatrice’s eyes without fear.

Yet even as their bond deepens, danger closes in on them from all sides, and Cam’s dark secrets may save them—or lead to their destruction.

This is mainly cialis tablets in india as a result of either mental or physical problems. I picked up A Shadow of Wings because it mentioned a cockatrice shifter in the blurb. I had to look up what a cockatrice was and I’m really glad I gave this book a try.

Ms. Gayle writes a new paranormal world for me, that I loved. Both of the main characters are highly flawed, yet so likeable. Dylan used to be a drug addict and a rent boy who was thrown out of his house for being gay. Cam has been raised to hate humans and to stick to his own kind. Cam rescues Dylan from some gangbangers when Dylan saves a pit bull from a beating and instead gets caught in their crosshairs. It’s a plot I’ve read in a lot of other romance novels, but this one felt different. Cam had this awkward quality about him and Dylan has this self-sufficient worldly attitude.

This world is beautifully built. It has a secret order of priests who oversee the cockatrice shifters, and some interesting bad guys that are weasels. Weasels as bad guys, I definitely saw that. Throw in a twist that surprised even me and explains the history so much. The writing style was fresh, original and very sensual.

The world building was a great backdrop for the characters. This is very much a character driven story that I loved. The relationship between Cam and Dylan was my favorite part. The way that Dylan doesn’t need Cam to save him, and the way he reacts to finding out about Cam’s other form helped this plot move along.

I will definitely read Ms. Gayle’s future works. I enjoyed her writing style and I would love to visit this world again. I recommend this for fans of paranormal m/m stories who are looking for a fresh new story that they can really sink their teeth in.

Magic born of the elements, demons, mages, battles, fairy creatures, a reluctant hero(ine), a plot to kill a king, a quest and a world in trouble.

Living on the peaceful island Iram, Zo knows little of the troubles brewing on the mainland. But when her brother Seve is poisoned, and her twin sister Alicia halts his slow but fateful progress towards death with an ancient binding spell, thereby subjecting herself to the same horrific death, Zo has no choice but to travel to the mainland to procure the flower of rosem, a crucial ingredient in the antidote for the poison.

What she doesn’t know is that king Vindha on the mainland has threatened the fabric of earth’s magic by offering the bodies of dead mages to the demons, thus creating fearsome demon mages. These demon mages have the ability to withstand any magical attack. As she struggles to journey through the treacherous mainland, and return home in time to save her siblings, Zo is unaware that Vindha has sent a demon mage to kill her – and thereby condemn her siblings to an inevitable death.

Sabine Reed has written a very exciting fantasy novel which contains a noble quest, an evil power-hungry king, powerful tribal peoples, a boy prophet named Leo, and myriad adventures.

Mage Zo, her brother, King Seve, and her twin sister, Alicia, rule over the island of Iram. Their paternal grandfather left the mainland forty years ago to avoid his brother’s tyranny. The island has become a sanctuary, a home to them all, but now that is being threatened. King Seve has been poisoned and Alicia has cast an ancient binding spell to slow the action of the poison. Zo must return to the mainland to find a rare flower which is the antidote’s main ingredient. Without the antidote, both Seve and Alicia will die.

 

I really like Zo. She is a very strong woman with a deep love for her brother and sister. She is a strong mage with many powers, and at the start of the novel, she doesn’t think she needs any help to fulfill the quest for the Flower of Rosem. Fortunately, Alicia feels differently and insists that Zo have a few companions to help her. Zo has lived an isolated life on Iram and she has no desire to get involved with the war King Vindha is waging in his drive to conquer all the nations in this world. She just wants to get to the flower and bring it home, and she has to do that in less than three weeks.

The task becomes nearly insurmountable almost from the beginning and Zo needs all the help she can find. I like the way Zo learns quickly about the new world she has to traverse, and I appreciate the fact that she is a real three-dimensional character who matures as the quest continues. At first she thinks bringing a bodyguard along is totally unnecessary, and she doesn’t want Arkon to slow her down. Arkon is a remarkable man in his own right, able to help without offending, and as the adventures continue it becomes clear to them both that magic alone won’t solve their problems. Arkon’s swordsmanship along with his loyalty and ingenuity are needed a number of times. Zo, Arkon, and Leo only survive because they learn to work together.

This book captured me in the first paragraph, and I couldn’t put it down. It is a great story with engaging characters. The suspense holds right through to the end. This is the first novel in a trilogy, but it does come to a satisfactory stopping point. That being said, I sincerely hope that Reed is writing furiously on the next two volumes as I for one don’t want to have to wait too long to find out what happens to Zo and the others living on Iram. This is a first rate fantasy novel which I am certain all lovers of fantasy will find captivating and riveting.

Falling for her protector

For single mother Abby Bauman, a failed marriage and a troublesome ex are proof of love gone wrong. But once she’s caught up in danger and saved—twice—by take-charge detective Ethan James, she considers whether falling for a true-blue hero is worth the risk. Even now, after the rescue, he seems bent on continuing to protect her and her daughter. Why?

There’s more to Ethan’s determination to stay close than he’s telling her. But when she confronts him, he proves she’s more than a means to solve a case. That tempts Abby to take a second chance on trust—and love. Which might be the best choice she’s ever made.

There’s nothing better than a little adventure, suspense and romance all rolled into one story, and that’s what A Texas Hero has to offer.

I immediately liked Abby, and when she meets Ethan and he becomes her knight in shining armor, you can’t help but read on wondering how they’re going to get out of a very dangerous situation.

Ms. Warren did a wonderful job upping the suspense and danger at each step of the story and it had me reading faster to see how they’d handle the current predicament.

The secondary characters are wonderful too and very well-drawn. I especially enjoyed the scenes with Ethan’s father and daughter. Some of their lines were humorous, especially the words his father used for swearing so his granddaughter didn’t hear his bad language.

These were all people you cheered for and as this story is part of the Willow Creek, Texas series, I’ll certainly be looking for more books by Ms. Warren.

If you’re looking for a fun, suspenseful summer time read, this could be one for you.
