AT THE DUKE'S PLEASURE by Tracey Anne Warren

All the books I choose are like a yo-yo, first one disappoints me and then the next one makes up for it. I'm still in my "trying something new" phase and even with the disappointments in some books, I'm loving trying new authors.  At the Duke's Pleasure is an awesome read that will have you laughing.

Edward Byron, Duke of Clybourne, has had his life planned out since the day he was born.  What school he had to attend, the friends he was to keep and worst of all, what bride he was to take.  This was too much for a boy of ten to take and he rebelled (quietly) against having a bride, ten years his junior. 

Now Edward is in his early thirty's and finally saw the wisdom of his father choosing a bride for him, but when he goes to claim his bride, would she have him?

Claire Marsden has always known that she was to marry a Duke and has been excited about the marriage until her heart was broken at the tender age of sixteen. To further add insult to injury, her intended shows up after all these years to finally marry her, what is a girl to do?  Well say no of course!

Edward has never had anyone tell him no before, especially not by a woman, but with everyone wanting this union between the two, Claire's wishes were ignored and it was decided that they will be married, whether they wanted too or not.

Claire not wanting this marriage and knowing that her father will not let her cry off, has come up with a plan to make Edward cry off instead.  It sounded like a good plan at the time, but she did not understand how stubborn Edward could be and it was a battle against their wits, to see who will come out on top.

Claire has taken part in a series of unladylike conduct that has earned her the name "Claire the dare" but "Claire the dare" turned into "Claire the naive" when one of her schemes went to far and resulted in her losing her innocence.   Would Edward still want her after this...read and find out.

Tracy Anne Warren had me laughing from chapter one when Claire looked into  Edward's face and said that she wish not to wed.  I could only imagine what Edward's face was like, it was hilarious.  I loved the lengths that Claire went through to secure her freedom, especially the one where she was playing cards in a seedy club with...

I can't give away too much now can I!  I advice you to read the book, it'll have you going back for more.

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

CRASH AND BURN by Rachel Lacey

This book was not the usual Rachel Lacey book and I should know, I've actually read all of them.  This is a story I've not read before and it puts to light what your brain thinks about when you think that you're about to die. Isa Delgado is terrified of flying and now she has to step foot into her first ever plane ride to help a rescue dog that only responds to her. The rescue is a husky dog named Maya who likes to run away when things get rough.  This does not help Isa with her fear of flying but the hunk who was her pilot might help matters a bit. Take off was not so bad and it relaxed Isa to see Maya calm during the flight.  Just when she thought that flying might not be so bad, everything goes horribly wrong. Nate lives to fly.  He's been flying for as long as he can remember. That's why he did not foresee any problems in flying a lady and her dog to their destination. Things don't go as planned when in the middle of their flight, shit hit the fa
