Swans Book Review

I was so excited to receive this book.  I read the first two books in the series, and I loved them and this book was no different. Being kidnapped and sold to harem is more than the high spirited and independent Lady Portia Flagstaff can take.  She loves excitement and danger but this, this was too much. She has to find a way to escape, but what can she do?  She is only one woman, up against hundreds of guards.  Her only hope is in Grayson Devlin, Viscount Blackwood. A man who despises her reckless ways, but sets her heart on fire. After losing his entire family when he was young, Greyson Devlin, also lost his best friend in the war. He promised his best friend, as he was dying, that he would look after his sister. Having her abducted and sold in to slavery is not exactly a good way of keeping his promise.  Enraged, Greyson sailed off as soon as he learned about her kidnapping and miraculously, he was able to save her. Now in order to protect her re...

This is an oldie but a goodie. It started out a little slow for me but when it picked up, I really enjoyed it.  Alec got schooled by Julia.  Here's what I mean. Alec McLean is desperate.  He must marry before his next birthday in order to claim his grandfather's wealth.  He promised his grandfather that he would keep the money away from his cousin, who wants nothing more that to do "mysterious" deeds with it. Unfortunately Alec waited too long to claim his bride and he only had a matter of hours to wed in order to claim the money.  He made arrangements with a woman to marry so that they can sprint of the Gretna Green, before it was too late. Maybe because it was the black of night, but Alec unfortunately took the wrong woman, Instead of claiming the beautiful but scheming Therese Frant, he abducted her plain, stern cousin instead.  What is Alec to do, with only two hours left on the clock? Julia Frant has loved Alec since the moment she first met...

When I read the description of the book I knew that I was going to like it, and I did.  It's just that I was expecting it to do something for me, and it did not. Here's why. Nash is the reliable one in the family. The one everyone goes to keep things going. Having a genius of a twin brother, an inventor of a father and a wheel-chair bound sister, Nash does not feel special in the family. He took it upon himself to run the family's auto-repair business, while his brother is off at university and he looks after his sister, giving his father time to invent. His life seems to be already set for the foreseeable future, no matter how much that makes him feel unfulfilled. Spencer Kepler-Constantine is an actor on the show Wolf's Landing.  He is in the middle of a very painful, very public divorce with his husband.  He isn't in any position to start a relationship. Nash meets Spencer when he was out on his bike, trying to run free before he has to go back to t...

Did you know that Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin was first publish in 1813 on this day, January 18th? Cool fact huh? How many time have you read this book? Me. I'm still trying to get through it.

This is my second book of  +Eloisa James  and I now can confirm that she is an author  I would very much like to hear more from.  I loved this book, especially the heroine. Emilia Carrington, when she was a young girl, had the misfortune of learning that the boy she was in love with, was nothing more than an insensitive toad. Years later, after claiming that she would never marry him, even if he was the last man in England, she finds herself, asking him to marry her. Evander Brody cannot believe that this little scrap of a girl dared to propose marriage to him, a Duke.  After he refused her, she pulled out the big guns which, if exposed, would revoke his title. Vainly thinking that this is some pay back for what happened all these years ago, Vander tries to shock her enough to back out of this foolish idea. When that did not work, he thought he would deny her what she wants, and only allows her four nights a year to go to bed with him and only if sh...

Well this book was different!  I liked it, it was hot and spicy and l loved the scene when he rammed her against the wall and.......( clears throat ) moving on to my review. Micki Arnott, an interior designer, was very excited. Her boyfriend for over a year is finally going to pop the question.  At least she hopes he is.  Buzzing with anticipation, Micki was excited the entire day and could not wait for later that night. Dressing her best, wanting to look good for her boyfriend Garret, and even though he has not said that he loved her, she knows he does, just by the simple things he does for her.   When they were seated at the restaurant, and Garret said he had something important to tell her. Instead of the diamond ring she was expected; she got a contract instead? Garret Caulfield wants Micki to move in with him, to commit to him and no one else.  Knowing the disaster that love and marriage can bring, he wants none of that after seeing his parents h...

This book was a big let down for me.  The title was promising, so was the cover.  Even the description of the book got to me and then when it got down to actually reading the book, I got a headache.  Here's why. Lady Georgiana was tricked out of her virginity.  Yes, it's the classic story of girl falls in love with boy, boy makes her many promises, girl gives up her cookies, boy says thanks and goes on his way. That was not the end of it.  Georgiana gets pregnant from that one time and she was shunned from the ton.  In her shame she fled, only to come back for whatever reason. Vowing to avenge herself, Georgiana creates a new identity named Chase, that many in London fear but must never know the true identity of. Georgiana wants to crush everyone that has ever treated her wrongly, and to do that, she must get their secrets. Ten years later, things were going well.  She built a club with the entrance fee being giving up one ...

I don't really like baseball but how can I resist this book cover.  The description of the book was interesting as well.  My vow to read books from authors I have not heard about helps as well and this is what I think about my new discovery.

I love books that contain children and animals and this book was really promising since it contained both.  I have not heard about  +Rachel Lacey  but I'm glad I found her.  This was a great book.

TJ Jameson needs a dog handler for his Children's Camp.  TJ hates dogs but knows that having a dog at the camp would be a way to get through to his artistic nephew.

Merry knew this job was a God send and did not want to screw it up.  It's just that when she saw the ranch and all the big open spaces, she knew that TJ's ranch would be a perfect place for her dogs to stay until she can find a fixed home for them....

Follow my blog with Bloglovin This book was different from the others in the series, and it was nice to see that it was different in a good way.

All that changed when a huge, hunk of a man stumbles into her cottages, during a storm.  Before she could even say a thing, he collapsed on the floor.

So she armed herself and waited for him to wake. Laird Alexander has lost his pride and his wife. Blaming himself for her death, he takes a foolish risk and goes sailing without a crew, trying to outrun his demons. Wh...

This book was a little disturbing and awkward.  The main character felt like a loose cannon and I stopped feeling sorry for her, really fast.  Here's why. Nya Lowe has a terrible record of dating the worst guys that are out there.  Having enough of always attracting all the wrong men, Nya vowed to stop dating for a year to get out of her rut. A few months into her vow, and a situation ( which was pretty funny, if you ask me ) lead Nya into the arms of a smoking hot fireman, kissing him for all that it's worth. Tyler did not plan on having a beautiful woman practically fall into his lap and kiss the breathe out of him, but he can't complain. Finding out the reason for the impulsive kiss gave him the opening he needed to further know the lady.  All Tyler wants to do is get know Nya but all Nya does is push him away.  Would Tyler be able to get around Nya's walls? or would Nya stay true and stick to her vow?   +Kayla Perrin  wrote one of th...
