ENTICING MISS EUGENIE VILLARET by Ella Quinn

I was devastated by this book. It had so much potential and had me all excited and then.........and then...........(starts crying), I just can't say it yet, go on and read my review.

William, Viscount Wivenly, is determined to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life. His elusiveness is what makes him even more irresistible to woman and William finds himself caught in many a scheme to trap him into marriage from the young ladies of the ton as well as their mother's.

Finding a way to get escape from it all in the form of a task bestowed on him by his father, William sets off to the West Indies to solve the problem that seems to be plaguing a member of the family. Once that task is down, William intends to fully sample the local wares, and I don't mean the food.

Determined to help her family despite what her mother says, Miss Eugenie Villaret will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of her family's financial problems. Enlisting the help of her childhood friend, Eugenie breaks into her dead step-father's company to get some answers, but before she can learn anything, she was caught by none other than William and his companion.

The two of them instantly hit it off and it was love at first sight. Oh, I'm not talking about William and Eugenie, I'm talking about her friend and his companion. William and Eugenie rubbed each other the wrong way, seeing as how William wants to get under her skirts and Eugenie wants to get as far away as possible from him before he figures out who she is.

As fate would have it, an incident, that is all William's fault, had forced them to be married and before you start thinking, but that's his family, don't. Eugenie was her mother's child from a previous marriage, so no harm done.

Things don't go as plan since Eugenie refuses to marry William and William not accustom
to women telling him no, has to do something he never had to do before, seduce a woman.

+Ella Quinn had such a good idea, but it fell flat. In the beginning we found Eugenie saving an infant slave from a bad fate and in the rest of the book, nothing. Opened the book with an amazing beginning and fell through in the rest of the book, that's false advertising.

Another issue I had was with the switching from one person's point of view to the next. In the copy I received, their was no clear indicators stating that I was moving from one person to the next. One minute I'm reading William's story and then BAM, I reading another part of the story that is happening in a different part of the island. I mean come on, some separates would have been nice.

This book was just a big disappointment, I did not connect with the characters and all the love words that were shared at each interval of the book at me rolling on eyes on more than one occasion. "Oh, my love" and "Yes my darling" was too much.

All conflicts were easily resolved and everybody had a happy ever after. Great idea, poor execution. If you doubt my words, read the book and see for yourself.

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.

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.

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...

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...
