TO DESIRE A DEVIL by Elizabeth Hoyt

Does being in love with a painting make you crazy? Not just any painting, the painting is a portrait of the deceased Earl of the house and title that your uncle currently holds.  The death of this past Earl was the only reason your uncle was able to gain this title and the wealth that comes with it, now imagine the portrait coming to life on your tea table?

 That is what happened to Miss Beatrice Corning, being in love with a painting of a dead man, Beatrice was quite surprised when he burst into her home, mad with fever, demanding his father, a man who has been dead for five years.  

 After this shocking display, the man then collapse to the ground, taking her table along with him.  Acting on instinct, Beatrice called for the servants to move him into a room and called for the doctor.  Her uncle just wanted to throw him out, but something in Beatrice just would not let him, an instant bond that she can not explain.

 Reynaud St. Aubyn has lived in hell for the past seven years and demands his soul back from the devil.  The only way he can think of to regain it is to reclaim everything that he has lost.  Only one thing is stopping him from his goal, well two things really, Miss Beatrice Corning and her uncle.

 Finding no need to plead back for his title, but knowing it has to be done, Reynaud aims to make himself presentable, but nothing he does can disguise the dangerous aura that surrounds him, but what do you expect when you have lived among savage Indians for years (you heard me, Indians).

 Now they both find themselves in a bind where they both need what the other person can only provide.  Reynaud needs a wife and Beatrice needs a home for both herself and for her uncle.  Understanding that they need each other, they both agreed to each other terms and expected life to go on as normal.

 Things never go as you plan, especially when you put a traitor in the mix and the most unfavorable of all crimes, falling in love with your own husband.(GASP)

 Can there marriage survive the battles to come?  Would Beatrice want to stay with someone they deem as mad?  Or would they all be killed before an answer can arise?  Find out the the fourth and final book in "The Legend of the Four Soldiers Series"

 Elizabeth Hoyt wrote a unique and quite interesting book, where a proper Miss falls in love with a raving lunatic and lived to tell the tale.  Okay, I exaggerated, but I love to do it.  I like this book so much that I went out to purchase the first book in the series and I just know that I am going to 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...

MY CURVY VALENTINE by Sugar Jamison

This book is tied with Gentlemen Prefers Curves for the best book in this series.  Maggie is such a beautiful person, but she is also clueless. I could tell that she was has been married to the same guy for years before the both of them even knew it. Deciding to quit her high paying job as a bio-medical engineer and to follow her fashion dreams by working in a clothing store that caters to the full figured woman like herself. You might think that Maggie Calhoun must be out of her mind, especially since this all came about with her parents divorce. And you would be right, Maggie is out of her mind.  Out of her mind in bliss.  This is the first time in her life that she is doing something for herself, and she plans to enjoy it.  That is until her brother's best friend, Alex, moved his bakery beneath her apartment. Every morning she is awakened by sexual dreams that include whatever is being made in the bakery each morning.  Her dreams o...

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...
