 Growing up moving from foster care, to foster care.  Madison has had her fair share of feeling unwanted. So smooth talking Alex Dare, does not intimidate her with his money and his fame, but having gone down that road with him, and getting badly burnt for her troubles, Madison vows not to succumb to Alex again.  At least not easily.

 Find out in the sexy, sizzling second installment of the Dare to Love series, Dare to Desire!

 +Carly Phillips sure had fun writing this story.  Madison and Alex had a wonderful love story that made sense and felt real.  I liked how Alex had to work for Madison's affection and even though she gave in, she did not give in.  If you understand what I mean.

 There were part of the book that made me cringe a bit.  Those parts were when the characters where talking about making love, and kissing and then it turned into this down and dirty type of way.  With the words p***y, c**k and  f**k coming into play.

 It kind of threw me off because they were talking normal and the abrupt change from that to talking nasty was a shock.  After reading on more, I started to not mind as much until the next love scene started, and I felt that shock all over again.

 I love dirty talk, it's a turn on but it just did not fit with the feel of this book.  The one I liked was Dare to Submit, now that book is where the dirty talk was much appreciated.  I find that it could have even used some more, but I'm not talking about the fourth book in the series,  I'm talking about this one and besides the inappropriate dirty talk, there was much to be entertained by.
HAPPY READING!

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...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick.  The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part.  What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird.  It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter.  Bran knows that getting involved ...
