RANSOM by Julie Garwood

Now I'm back to woman having the brain and men being their regular clueless selves. I love Ransom, I'm ashamed to say that it took me some time before I realized that it was a continuation from another one of +Julie Garwood's books, when you read the book, can you guess which one it is?

Lady Gillian, having seen her family destroyed by a power hungry beast called Baron Alford, who sole purpose was to retrieve a jeweled box for his King John. Upon seeing that the box was lost to him and that Gillian was not telling him anything, he banished her to her uncles house until he has need of her again.

With her father murdered and her sister missing, Gillian is left on her own with only a maid to accompany her to her uncles house. One thing Gillian does know is that she will never forgive the man who destroyed her family.

Now over a decade later, Baron Alford believes he has found Gillian's sister who he thinks knows the whereabouts of the jeweled box. He needs Gillian's help in other to get to her sister and threatens to kill her uncle if she does not to as he commands.

Having no other choice, Gillian travels to the Highlands where it is believed where her sister now lives where she meets Brodick Buchanan. Due to a very grave matter, Brodick and Gillian were pulled into each other lives and even though they are together through inconvenience, something in the both of them does not want to let the other go, even when the grave matter was resolved.

Brodick being a brave and stubborn man, cannot believe that this little slip of a woman can make him feel the way he feels. Thinking that love is for the weak, he takes Gillian as her own, in a very underhanded way, but vows not to give anything of himself in return.

Can these two stubborn people find some common ground or would their pride break them apart forever.

Ugh, it's so hard to write a review for this book because I want to write about EVERYTHING, I want you to know people, that's how good this book is. But if I say too much, I will spoil all your fun, so save me the trouble and go buy the book and read it. Believe me, it's worth 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.

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...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting. Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out. Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
