BARE ESSENTIALS by Jill Shalvis and Leslie Kelly

Two cousins who were condemned in their small town by the name they carry come back to seek revenge on the town that made their childhood a living hell. 

 Cassie Tremaine is a famous underwear model that has a fan that is a little too much for her.  In order for her to get away, she returns to her home town and becomes bored within a few hours of arriving.

 Feeling like the town needs to be shaken up a little bit, Cassie convinces her cousin to open a branch of her store, Bare Essentials, in the town. Bare Essentials is a lady's store like no other, they specialize in naughty aspects for ladies and their men.

 Not feeling that this is enough of a shake up, Cassie plans to take her revenge on the sheriff, Sean Taggot but we all call him Tag.  Unfortunately things does not go Cassie's way when Tag wants more than what's she willing to give.  

 Running scared, would Cassie turn away from what could be the best thing of her life or would Tag think the same thing the citizens having been thinking for years "All Tremaine's are no good."

 Kate Jones does not carry the Tremaine's actual name, but she is one through and through. Agreeing to her cousins idea about opening a branch of her store, Bare Essentials, in their old home town was the first step in her revenge plan, Kate decided to up the ante by decided to have her revenge on the man who broke her mother's heart.

 Her plan is to seduce John Winfield Jr, (his son), make him fall madly in love with her and then dump his a** without even a backwards glance.  However Kate soon finds herself seduced by a sexy stranger named Jack who is to hot to handle and who would soon have Kate hoping for things she has no business wanting.

 +Jill Shalvis and Leslie Kelly both wrote an amazing book.  +Jill Shalvis started the heat with her half of her story and Leslie finished it off with a fiery and smoking hot ending.   These two author came together and wrote a book that almost satisfied all my needs of a book.

 There were some loose ends that were not resolved to my taste.  Why did they, (both of the couples) not discuss what was wrong with their parents?  Seriously, I was left incomplete on how they figured out how or why their parents ending up the way they did.

 For those of you who did not grasp it, Jill Shalvis wrote the story about Cassie and Tag and Leslie Kelly wrote about Kate and Jack.  The greatest thing this book did for me was introduce me to a new author that I just HAVE to check out, Miss Leslie Kelly.  I have alreay read and LOVED Jill Shalvis's books and you should too.   Read the book, I guarantee you will love it!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick.  The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part.  What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird.  It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter.  Bran knows that getting involved ...
