A WHISPER OF DESIRE by Bronwen Evans

I love, love, LOVE Bronwen Evans.  I chose one of her books on a whim on +NetGalley, not thinking that I will enjoy her books much, boy was I wrong.  I love all the books I've read of her's so far, and I kind of stalk +Goodreads for her upcoming releases all the time.

 Waking up naked nest to your brother's best friend is not the vision Lady Marisa Hawkstone intended her marriage to start.

 Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton, wanted Marisa as a wife, but he did not anticipate having to marry her out of obligation.  The mysterious enemy strikes again, doing something that no ones understand her reasoning for.

 What purpose can making Maitland and Marisa marry in the most scandalous of ways help their enemy destroy them?  My guess, I think she was trying to mess up the friendship between Maitland and Marisa's brother, Sebastian. But that's just my guess.

 Maitland and Marisa's marriage started off with a rocky start, as most rushed marriages are. Since Maitland is considered the Cold Duke, Marisa did not have much expectations of him as her husband, since she wanted to marry for love.  But the sparks that fly between them has Marisa changing her mind, unfortunately, it seems as if Maitland does not feel the same,

 After their wedding night, he has not touched Marisa and it's driving her crazy.  For an innocent, she sure knows what she wants in the bedroom and I don't blame her, it's just that Maitland has so many demons from his past, he does not want to let them to be let out and taint his beautiful new wife.

 This book had a fast paste and I found myself thinking that this book felt like a race more than a story.  Secrets were easily shared and the villainess of the story did not really do anything other than make them marry and pull some stupid stunt at the ending.

 In a way, the villainess did get revenge on Maitland.  I cried by the means in which she did it in.  The pain will live in their hearts forever and I feel so sad for them.  What Maitland's step-mother did as a result of this was very surprising and very, very, very sad.  I can't tell you any more than this or I will give the whole book away.

 I will admit that this was not my favorite book in the series, but it does not make it any less entertaining than the rest of the books in the series.  It's filled with secrets and danger and I really want to know who the villainess and what their fathers did that was so horrible that she wants revenge so bad.
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...

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...
