TO TASTE TEMPTATION by Elizabeth Hoyt

Apparently I read this series in the wrong order.  I read the forth book first and then I read the first book in the series after. How crazy is that!

Lady Emeline Gordon has taken it upon herself to teach wealthy girls the rules and etiquette in London. She does this knowing as widow and with more money than she can count, she does not have to work another day in her life.

Lady Emeline is a very classy woman who thinks that everything must be done according to the rules of society.  This is why she dresses fashionably and
flawlessly appropriate at all times.  All was going well until Emeline agreed to introduce the sister of a moccasin wearing ex colonial soldier now successful businessman, Samuel Hartley.

Samuel Hartley came to London, hunted by his past that has him running from his demons each night.  In his last mission his team was massacred by savage Indians at Spinner's Falls. One of the fallen men was Lady Emeline's brother and Samuel thinks that she is perfect for his plan of action.

Lady Emeline knows that Samuel is up to something but no matter how much she presses him, he won't admit to it.  She should not care what he is up too, especially from a man who willingly wears pants that are against every rule of London society, but something about Samuel calls to her and no matter what her head says, her body answers.

The passion that explodes between Lady Emeline and Samuel was unexpected on both sides and the more they tried to distance themselves, the stronger the pull until (giggles) you would not believe what happen with their passion.  Yes they had sex BUT the type of sex was VERY surprising, trust me!

With Samuel and Emeline fighting against each other, their common enemy was able to infiltrate their defenses and attack (OH NO).  Would Samuel and Emeline be able to work together to defeat their foe or would their fear of the unknown defeat them before they could even begin.  Find out in the first installment in The Legend of the Four Soldiers Series.

Elizabeth Hoyt is one naughty lady (blushes).  This book took me completely by surprise, who knew that the up-tight, I'mtogoodforyou princess Emeline could bend that way.   Seriously when they were on the....no when they were trapped in the cl.......or when he did the......., damn, this is so hard, I want to tell you all the naughty things in the book, but that would spoil it for you when you read it.

Besides the sex, the book had a nice story line that had me confuse a little.  It was said that Emeline was promised to a friend of her brother and that it was a long standing agreement, yet, Emeline was married to someone else.  What would have happened if her husband had survived? Another confusing part was when Emeline's aunt and son were introduced, I thought the boy was her aunts son because of the words used in the introductory, but other than that, I was crystal clear on what was going on.

In To Taste Temptation you are put on a whirlwind of a ride that would have this book glued to your hand at all times until you have finished it.  Even though some of the characters were ignored in most of the book, I still enjoyed it except at the ending when they were no closer than.......I can't tell you that now can I, read the book and enjoy!

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...
