Leather, Lace and Rock-n-Roll (SEALS, Inc., #1)Leather, Lace and Rock-n-Roll by Mia Dymond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a new author for me and I really enjoyed Hawk and Rachel‘s story.

Hawk is a Navy Seal that is undercover as a international rock star. This gives his team a chance to fight terrorism all over the world. Rachel is being watched as a possible accomplice to a terrorist smuggling information through her firm.

Sometimes love develops in the most unexpected places. This was a good and I can’t wait to read more from this author. I would be interested in seeing more back story to explain all the things that are going on with the characters in the book.

Fun read!

The Importance of Being Wicked by Miranda Neville

romancebookwormLeave a comment

This was an ARC that I received for review. I am a fan of Miranda Neville’s books and this one did not disappoint. Caro Townsend is a widow who shocked the ton by running away at the age of seventeen and marrying a bad boy. Now that her husband is dead and left her almost penniless she is struggling to find her place. She brings her cousin, Anna, who is an heiress to love with her. That is how she meets Thomas Fitzcharles, Duke of Castleton. Thomas pays a call on the ladies because he is searching for a wealthy heiress and Anna fits the bill. What he doesn’t expect to find is the beautiful and passionate Caro. Where Caro is exciting and loving, Thomas is conservative and ducal. It’s amazing to see Thomas fall under her spell and grow as a man.

This is a beautifully written story that involves amazing artists, beautiful hearts, crazy friends and love. I give it 4.5 stars and recommend it to all.

Undercover Submissive by Michelle Hughes

As a fan of Tears of Crimson and 10 nights I decided I wanted to read more by Michelle Hughes. This book had a great plot line. I love the fact that there was an actual story not just sex scenes.

Cayce and Cait are twin sisters who are abused by their stepfather. As happens a lot with abuse victims one sister went into a protective shell thinking she is worthless, and the other went searching for love and acceptance in the bed of every man she could find. When Cait goes missing, the police chalk it up to another stripper case and don’t really bother to look. Cayce knows that this is different and her sister would have said something first. Searching through her sister’s things, Cayce discovers a journal filled with BDSM and a business card to billionaire Dylan St. Clair.

This leads Cayce to discover the power she holds and to release the pain she has felt since the abuse. Along the way a good story unfolds while searching for Cait and love blooms.

My only complaint would be the fact that the writing needs to be redone for spelling and grammar issues. They were a little distracting to me simply because they catch my eye when I am reading. Thanks, Michelle for another good story.

Lord of Temptation by Lorraine Heath

romancebookworm2 Comments

This is the second in the Lost Lords trilogy and I have to admit that it was a good book. Lady Anne Hayworth hires the infamous Crimson Jack, aka Lord Tristan Easton to carry her on a ship to say goodbye to her fiancee. Love and romance blossom on the trip but Lord Tristan has no desire to take up his place in society where he feels unwelcome.

As much as I enjoyed the book I do have to wonder at the fact that she was able to sneak out as much as she did and to head off to ports unknown with no one the wiser. Her father and brothers had to know where she was going since she had been in mourning for two years. I am surprised they didn’t try to intercept on the way home or had someone on the docks looking for her.

I am anxious to see how this story wraps up with Rafe and to see if we can get some brotherly bonding.

The Lady is a Vamp by Lynsay Sands (@LynsaySands, @avonbooks)

I have yet to find a book that I didn’t like by Lynsay Sands and The Lady is a Vamp did not disappoint. I have been looking forward to Jeanne Louise’s story for awhile now and I was unsure of how it would play out with Paul. I have to admit I fell in love with Livy. With a recent cancer diagnosis in my own family, this hit hard and left me amazed by the strength in this little girl. All of the Argeneau stories are amazingly well written, but this one carried a depth to it that really touched me. I laughed over the antics of the characters and I cried over the heartfelt agony that Bricker, Jeanne Louise, and Paul were all feeling. It is a wonderful story that stands true to the heart of the incredible vampire story that Lynsay has created.

Romancing the Countess by Ashley March

What an amazing book!  I was spellbound from the beginning to the end with the story of Leah and Sebastian.  I loved how he tried so hard not to like her and ended up becoming mesmerized by her smile.  Leah feels so unworthy after her first husband has an affair with Sebastian’s wife but he shows her that the maybe bad things happen for a reason.  Totally worth several reads!

This book fits my requirements for a fabulous read!  It is a great mixture of paranormal and historical romance.  Lorelei Sundun is not your ordinary highborn lady.  She sees naked men in her father’s rose garden, but this is no ordinary man.  Sir Argus Wherlocke is a member of the Wherlocke clan, and it is rumored that they have special “gifts”.  Lorelei mounts a rescue when she realizes the Argus is being held captive by a madman bent on stealing Argus’s special talents.   Can Argus keep from falling in love with the lovely lady or is he destined for another fate all together?  Check out this amazing story and the rest of Ms. Howell’s books in the Wherlocke & Vaughn saga.

When Beauty Tamed a Beast by Eloisa James

romancebookwormLeave a comment

It is no secret that I am an Eloisa James fan. Her books are incredible, vibrant and passionate. I love it. I am addicted to series books but enjoy a good standalone. When Beauty tamed a Beast was perfect. Now, I am not a House fan but after reading about Piers Yelverton, Earl of Marchant, I could see the appeal. Piers is adamant that he will not marry and no one is going to change his mind. Our heroine is Linnet Thynne and she is a beautiful woman that comes into Piers’ life and brings chaos, trouble and love. Does it get much better than that? If you enjoy the story of Beauty and the Beast you will fall in love with these characters.http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Tamed-Beast-Eloisa-James/dp/0062021273
