COLD FEET AT CHRISTMAS by Debbie Johnson

This book was not what I was expecting. I thought that this was a novella and I prepared myself for that, but it was longer than I expected and spicy.  It does not have erotica in the genre, but it should, it really should. WARNING: Rated R. Running out on your wedding shouldn't be this much fun. Leah Harvey is frozen and the car she took for her getaway has decided to shut down on her.  Things wouldn't have been so bad if she wasn't in the middle of a snowstorm with nothing but her thin wedding dress. After witnessing her husband halfway up the bridesmaid’s skirt just hours before the ceremony, Leah ran from the wedding with nothing but the clothes on her back. Deciding that trying to get help was better than staying in the freezing car to die, Leah braced herself and took off into the direction of a light she saw in the distance.  Hoping that she can make it there before her limbs freeze off, Leah sets off with determination, even if the ...

THE PERFECT HOMECOMING by Julia London

WARNING! Do not read this book unless you have about five boxes of tissues by your side. Maybe I was hormonal when I was reading this book, or maybe I related to Emma, the main character, and her pain. I don't know, all I know is, I cried, A LOT. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU DO NOT LIKE A GOOD CRY! Emma Tyler is a beautiful woman. With her long blonde hair and delicate features, she has every man in a five mile radius lusting after her. Even though she is beautiful on the outside, on the inside she has a train wreck of a life.  Emma can't seem to control her mouth in any situation.  She always says what she thinks; normally that may be a good thing, but people always seem to take what she says the wrong way. Because of how broken she is, Emma only targets older, fat men who only wants her for her body.  Feeling disgusted with herself after the deed is done, Emma takes something of each of her "conquest", something that the person would not miss that she k...

DARE TO SURRENDER (INVITATION TO EDEN) by Carly Phillips

Well this cover is totally different from the other books and I have to say, I like it the most. I believe that a different designer was used to make this cover, and I have to applaud this person for thinking differently. Isabelle Masters feels empowered. Finally having the strength to leave the lying piece of s**t she called a fiance, Isabelle drives off into the night.  No destination in mind, that is until she was pulled over. Then her destination was a police building. Handcuffed and her few possessions taken from her, Isabelle thought that she has sunk to an all time low. Feeling sorry for herself, the last person she did not want see her in this position, shows up to her rescue. Thinking about treating his brother for the night, Gabe is shocked yet pleased to see the object of his affection ( more like lust ) chained to his brother's desk. Learning why she was in this predicament had his blood boiling in anger, and offers to help Isabelle. Having depended...

THE LAIRD WHO LOVED ME by Karen Hawkins

YES!  My first purchase ever online and it was to get the final book in the MacLean Curse series.  I ordered it and waited impatiently for it to arrive and when it did, with other books and items, I was squealing all over my house and my family was watching me like if I was crazy, but I did not care. After all the excitement I waited a few more days before I read the book and consumed it within one day.  Happy and heart broken, they always say that the journey is what people look forward for rather than the end.( SIGH ) On to my review!

( Even though he started it! ) Caitlyn Hurst is determined to redeem herself. After her disastrous London season, she feels a g...

They were not able to see each other for a year. Now Marshall is coming back home and the happy reunion that Stella imagined did not come through.
