DESCRIPTION:

Nine years ago, Claire Kramer’s lover brutally killed her family, and he tried to kill her. She escaped, but she’s been haunted ever since that attack. Too afraid to trust another man and too worried that her past will catch up with her, Claire never gets too close to anyone. But then she meets Noah York.

He must have her.

Noah York is a man with secrets. The world sees him as a billionaire hotel tycoon, but Noah has a dark and dangerous side. For years, he worked covert military operations before he built his fortune. When it comes to death, Noah is a master. He knows that he should steer clear of Claire, but the white-hot attraction Noah feels for the delicate beauty is instant–and consuming.

He will never let her go.

Someone else is just as consumed by Claire–someone who will kill to possess her. And if Noah can’t stop the hunter in the darkness, he may just lose the one woman that he can’t live without.

REVIEW:

I enjoyed the story with all the danger, action and suspense that kept you wondering and on the edge of your seat. I only wish I had been able to warm up to Claire and Noah more, but they were both a little closed off and I couldn’t relate to them. That being said, there is just something about alpha males and the women who love them when danger is everywhere. Not to mention the steamy love scenes always make me smile. I look forward to the next one in this series.

Review: Starry Night: A Christmas Novel by Debbie Macomber

Starry Night: A Christmas Novel by Debbie Macomber
Publication Date: October 8, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Dawn
Rated: 4.5 Stars

20131013-120433.jpg

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

’Tis the season for romance, second chances, and Christmas cheer with this new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Carrie Slayton, a big-city society-page columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. So her editor hands her a challenge: She can cover any topic she wants, but only if she first scores the paper an interview with Finn Dalton, the notoriously reclusive author.

Living in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Finn has written a megabestselling memoir about surviving in the wild. But he stubbornly declines to speak to anyone in the press, and no one even knows exactly where he lives.

Digging deep into Finn’s past, Carrie develops a theory on his whereabouts. It is the holidays, but her career is at stake, so she forsakes her family celebrations and flies out to snowy Alaska. When she finally finds Finn, she discovers a man both more charismatic and more stubborn than she even expected. And soon she is torn between pursuing the story of a lifetime and following her heart.

Filled with all the comforts and joys of Christmastime, Starry Night is a delightful novel of finding happiness in the most surprising places.

REVIEW:

A genuine love story. Carrie’s mission to find and interview the ever evasive Finn pulled at my heart strings. Getting this interview would turn her career around, but it felt like getting this interview would also test her heart. I was Carrie’s private cheerleader throughout this story and could feel every emotion the characters were feeling. Very well written and kept me on the edge of my seat to see how it would turn out between these two.

Review: Connectivity by Aven Ellis

Connectivity by Aven Ellis
Publication Date: October 16, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Cori
Rated: 4 Stars

20130829-172043.jpg

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Overachiever Mary-Kate Grant (who is indeed named after an Olsen Twin) has followed every rule to the letter to pursue her dream of working in TV programming. Ripping a page from the “hard work pays off” playbook, she takes an assistant level job at a Chicago sports network to break into the industry.

MK has no time or desire for a relationship right now—she is totally focused on her career and being independent, unlike the other women in her family.

But MK’s plans are run through the shredder when she finds herself working for William Cumberland, a British media mogul who made his fortune with Connectivity, a social media site. William blows into Chicago just like the winds off Lake Michigan and purchases the group of networks MK works for—and makes her his personal assistant in the process.

Suddenly MK finds her career plans in jeopardy. William makes her question everything she has ever thought and has the uncanny ability to see right through her. And for the first time in her life, MK finds herself not only questioning what she wants for her career but for her personal life as well…

REVIEW:

Connectivity is a beautiful love story that drew me in from the first page. I fell in love with the characters Aven Ellis created. MK (Mary-Kate) is a smart, sassy, funny and somewhat quirky woman who is not looking for love and completely focused on her career until she meets her new boss. William is a sexy, British mogul and is intrigued by MK from the start. I loved their banter with each other. I think William needed someone like MK to bring some fun into his life. There story is a really sweet romance that takes the reader along for the ride as they fall in love. I highly recommend this book for romance readers looking for a sweet and romantic love story.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Aven Ellis

20130829-172335.jpg
I have always loved to write. I completed my first novel at the age of 15—an angst driven high school romance (Boy meets girl! Evil girl likes same boy! A deception! Will true love prevail?) Though I truly wanted to be a fiction writer, I also knew it was more practical to pursue a job in the communications field and write fiction on the side. So I went off to Purdue University and earned a degree in communication, writing for The Exponent along the way (apologies to anyone who fought through reading those early attempts at journalism.)

After a stint writing for a community newspaper and a public relations agency, and not enjoying what I was writing at all, I found myself a non-writing job and continued writing at night and on weekends. I completed multiple manuscripts that found a home under my bed. Complete it, print it, stick it in an envelope, slide under bed. It became a routine for me, similar to “Lather.Rinse.Repeat.”

Finally, years later, I wrote Connectivity. I loved this story; I loved writing for William and MK. I became brave enough to share this story with new friends who became equally as passionate about these characters and their journey. They encouraged me to submit it to a publishing house. Then, in a critique group session, wine was poured and one of my partners, Lauren Linwood, pointed her finger at me and demanded that I submit Connectivity to a publisher, telling me the words every writer dreams of hearing—this will sell. I ended up submitting Connectivity to Soul Mate Publishing and now can happily say I am a published author.

I live in the Dallas area with my family. I enjoy clipping out recipes I will never get around to trying, working out, and chatting with friends on social media. I am particularly fond of British actors named Benedict and Henry. I love shopping and fashion and admit to being obsessed with whatever the Duchess of Cambridge is wearing. I am also obsessed with any show or cookbook featuring Gordon Ramsay.

And I do not believe in the Lather. Rinse. Repeat theory when it comes to shampooing my hair.

Review: Falling for the Marine (A McCade Brothers Novel) (Entangled Brazen) by Samanthe Beck

BOOK DESCRIPTION

USMC helicopter pilot Michael McCade has two goals: Get his damn back into alignment and keep his nose clean until his commanding officer clears him to fly again. The doctor-recommended massage therapy seems like a necessary step toward returning to the cockpit, but when his too-hot-to-handle neighbor, Chloe Kincaid, turns out to be his masseuse, he strays from the straight and narrow in a major way.

Chloe Kincaid is looking for a simple, no strings attached, ego-boosting hook up. But when her positively panty-melting neighbor, USMC Major Michael McCade, (aka Major Hottie), shows up on her massage table, she lets desire get the better of professionalism. Now theyre pretending to be engaged to avoid a whole lot of unanticipated consequences of a momentary lapse in judgment. But can a girl who avoids attachments at all costs fake an engagement to a straight-arrow soldier without falling hard?

REVIEW:

Having never read Samanthe Beck before, I was not sure what to expect. With a hot cover and what sounded like a good story I figured it was worth a shot. I was blown away! Absolutely loved, loved, loved it. I was hooked from the first sentence and I could not get enough of this book. Sexy Chloe and smoking hot Michael nearly set my hair on fire with this book. They met under unlikely circumstances and the passion built from there. Beck created an amazing story of two people that couldn’t be more opposite, that I couldn’t wait to see where they’d end up. I will be looking for more of her books without a doubt. This book should be on my top 10 list.

Review: Hot Summer Nights by Jaci Burton, Jessica Clare, Erin McCarthy, Carly Phillips

Hot Summer Nights by Jaci Burton, Jessica Clare, Erin McCarthy, Carly Phillips

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Passions ignite in these all-new stories from four bestselling masters of contemporary romance…

In Jaci Burton’s “Hope Smolders,” struggling divorcee Jane has put her personal life on hold to raise her kids—until she runs into Will, her ex’s former best friend, who convinces her it’s time to start having fun again.

Carly Phillips takes you back to the town of Serendipity, where overworked Alexa has an instant connection with a sinfully sexy football star on the dance floor. A one-night stand evolves into multiple nights when Luke decides to teach the good doctor about his own brand of fun. But when it’s time for him to leave town, will these “Perfect Strangers” be able to say goodbye for good?

In Jessica Clare’s “Legend of Jane,” an intrepid Bloggess catches the eye of local law enforcement when she gets caught trespassing. Luckily, Luanne wouldn’t mind getting handcuffed by Officer Hotness…

Single girl Chelsea is tired of feeling like the fifth wheel on her weekend jaunt to Lake Placid, until she gets stuck out in the cold and finds a muscular knight in shining armor to warm her up—in Erin McCarthy’s “Ice Princess.”

REVIEW:

Hope Smolders by Jaci Burton
I loved Will and Jane’s story. Jane was too busy to date and Will wanted to show her how to have a good time. I loved the sizzling undercurrent you could feel as they got to know each other. I couldn’t wait to see how their story would unfold. Loved it.

Perfect Stranger: A Serendipity Novella by Carly Phillips
A wonderful novella. Carly Phillps never disappoints and she certainly did not here. A quick story about Alexa and Lucas. Hot from beginning to end. Alexa wanted one night to live on the edge. Lucas was taking a night to relax. Fireworks right from the word go.

The Legend of Jane by Jessica Clare
This is the first book I’ve read by Jessica Clare. I thought the main characters story was a bit different. The story started off a little slow, but got better as she got to know ‘Officer Hotness’. I like how once they got to know each other the story took on a romantic flair. The story started out a bit different, but definitely turned out to be a cute story.

Ice Princess by Erin McCarthy
Absolutely loved this story. Chelsea’s sense of humor was laugh out loud funny and Brody was smoking hot. The two of the together made a story that I couldn’t put down. A fast read that made me smile from the quick one liners and made me nearly break out in a sweat from the hot sex.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

There’s nowhere better to spend the holidays than with New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery in the town of Fool’s Gold, where love is always waiting to be unwrapped…

Noelle Perkins just got a second chance at life, and she intends to make the most of every minute. That’s why she ditched a frustrating legal career to open her own store in Fool’s Gold, California. The Christmas Attic celebrates everything that’s magical about her favorite season. Business is booming, and as a bonus, gorgeous army doctor Gabriel Boylan has offered to help out during the holiday rush.

Gabriel’s memories of Christmas past contain more sour grapes than sugar plums, thanks to a drill sergeant father who ran his home like a boot camp. Spending the holidays with his family while he recuperates from injury sounds as appetizing as last year’s eggnog. Still, there are some enjoyable distractions in town, including sunny, sexy Noelle…and the red-hot mistletoe kisses they can’t stop sharing.

Gabriel didn’t think he was made for happily-ever-afters. But when fate hands you a love as sweet and surprising as this, only a fool could refuse….

REVIEW:

I have enjoyed the Fool’s Gold series from book one. Christmas on 4th Street is book 12.5 and they seem to just keep getting better. Noelle and Gabriel share all of the Christmas magic the town of Fool’s Gold has to offer. As they got to know each other you could sense the under lying passion and it was only a matter of time before they lit the pages on fire. Some parts of the story talking about the town of Fool’s Gold seemed a bit far fetched, but the story of Noelle and Gabriel was all the things Christmas magic is about. I look forward to seeing what will happen next in this quaint little town.

Review: Cowboy Justice (Catcher Creek, Book 2) by Melissa Cutler

Release Date: October 1, 2013

Rated: 4.5 Stars

20131001-140405.jpg

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Transforming their parents’ rundown ranch in the small town of Catcher Creek, New Mexico, into a tourist destination is the toughest challenge the three Sorentino sisters ever faced. But now one of them has another fight on her hands – to keep from falling for the sexy town sheriff – again…

Rachel Sorentino has spent her whole life protecting her siblings from trouble – only to run headlong into it herself. Her first regret about shooting at the vandals targeting her family ranch is that her aim wasn’t better. Her second is that when bullets started flying, it was Sheriff Vaughn Cooper’s number she dialed. Vaughn is the mistake she keeps on making, a cowboy lawman who cuts through Rachel’s surface bravado to the vulnerability no one else sees. And no matter how inconvenient their attraction – for his career, her tangled case, and his already battered heart – there’s no denying what feels so irresistibly right…

REVIEW:

Cowboy Justice is the second book in Melissa Cutler’s Catcher Creek series. You do not have to read the first book, The Trouble with Cowboys, before reading this book, but you will enjoy the story more if you read the series in order. I loved the first book and thought Cowboy Justice was even better. I loved sexy Sheriff Vaughn Cooper. He’s definitely hero material. Rachel is tough and use to taking care of everything and everyone around her, but turns to Vaughn after a shoot out defending her ranch and her sisters lands her in the hospital. Vaughn and Rachel have explosive chemistry and heated up the pages. Their story is full of action, danger, mystery and smoking hot romance. I haven’t read a book by Melissa Cutler that I haven’t loved! I highly recommend this book and this series. I can not wait for the next book.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Can first love turn into the real deal? Anything can happen in a sizzling new Fool’s Gold story from New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery.

Isabel Beebe thinks she’s cursed in the romance department. Her teenage crush, Ford Hendrix, ignored all her letters. Her husband left her for another…man. So Isabel has come home to dust off her passion for fashion and run the family bridal shop until her parents are ready to sell it. Then she’ll pursue her real dreams. At least, that’s the plan, until sexy, charming Ford returns and leaves her feeling fourteen all over again…..

Seeing Isabel all grown-up hits bodyguard trainer Ford like a sucker punch. Back when heartbreak made him join the military, her sweet letters kept him sane. Now he can’t take his eyes—or his lips—off her. The man who gave up on love has a reason to stay in Fool’s Gold forever—if three little words can convince Isabel to do the same.

REVIEW:

I have been waiting forever to read Ford’s story and Susan Mallery did not disappoint. She even went the extra mile and added Kent’s story to the book. Isabel had been in love with Ford since she was 14 years old. So after seeing him again 14 years later it was instant fireworks, even if Ford didn’t want to admit it. The sex was amazing and the love story was touching. I love that I got to read Kent’s story as well. I love how she incorporated both into this book without making it too much.

Kent never thought he would find that special someone twice in his life. The moment he laid his eyes on Consuelo he was a goner. She tried to fight it by running away, but when something is that powerful she found that running isn’t always the answer. Susan Mallery has made Fool’s Gold the most magical place and I can’t wait to see who strikes it rich with love in her next book.

REVIEW BY: Reading in Pajamas/Donna
RATED: 4 Stars

20130929-141349.jpg

DESCRIPTION:
Tattoo artist Raven Smith is blunt and hard, broken and jaded, dark and beautiful. While she doesn’t hide her painful past, she does keep a wall around her heart. She’s free sexually-but no one gets to the real Raven beneath the prickly exterior. With a voice like smoke, Jonah Warner is a smooth-talking, highly successful attorney, with a body that should never be hidden by a suit. He’s the kind of man who never takes no for an answer and always gets what he wants. And what he wants is Raven. She’s a survivor, and he finds that incredibly alluring. Jonah gets under her skin in a way Raven has never experienced. He makes her break all her rules-including her no-monogamy rule.But when a figure from Raven’s past shows up at the tattoo parlor and drops a bomb into her life, their relationship will face the ultimate challenge.

REVIEW:
This book was a nice addition to the Brown Sibling Series and I was especially looking forward to Raven’s story. As expected, her story was sizzling and erotic. Just like her personality. She is such a strong force that an equally strong man was needed to compliment her. Jonah was that man. I liked how the author made him more a patient, quiet alpha-male. Otherwise their relationship would not have seemed plausible. A very nice and steamy read.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

He’ll help unleash the new woman in her…

Special Ops soldier Griffin Reid doesn’t exactly have happy memories of growing up in Sunshine, Idaho. He’s only come back to recover from a war injury, and while he refuses to admit he’s in a weakened state, he finds comfort in the last person he’d expect.

Kate Evans teaches fourth grade science in Sunshine, the place she’s always called home. Dreaming of graduate school and a happily-ever-after, she’s desperate to break out of the monotony of Sunshine. Luckily, a certain sexy man has just come back into her life.

To Griffin, Kate as always been his little sister’s friend, but now he’s finding her to be so much more. As both attempt to forge their paths, they must decide if their passionate connection can turn into something lasting…

REVIEW:

Griffin fought what Kate wanted. Kate wanted Griffin. She pulled out all the stops. You could feel the chemistry as they both went after what they wanted…each other, even if only one of them is willing to admit it. I love the real life humor that Jill Shalvis writes into her stories. She makes you feel like you know the characters and you can’t wait to see how everything will turn out. Jill Shalvis is one of my favorite authors. Her books have the most realistic romance and humor, but she may have outdone herself with Rumor Has It. On more than one occasion I found myself laughing out loud.
