ENTICING MISS EUGENIE VILLARET by Ella Quinn

I was devastated by this book.  It had so much potential and had me all excited and then.........and then........... (starts crying) , I just can't say it yet, go on and read my review. William, Viscount Wivenly, is determined to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.  His elusiveness is what makes him even more irresistible to woman and William finds himself caught in many a scheme to trap him into marriage from the young ladies of the ton as well as their mother's. Finding a way to get escape from it all in the form of a task bestowed on him by his father, William sets off to the West Indies to solve the problem that seems to be plaguing a member of the family.  Once that task is down, William intends to fully sample the local wares, and I don't mean the food.

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.

One of the fallen men was Lady ...

ICE BLUE by Anne Stuart

Well Summer Hawthorne chose to hide the urn, not knowing the ramifications of her actions, which has her placed in numerous dangerous situations. Where she is rescued time and time again from an unlikely candidate Takasji O'Brien. Takasji "Taka" O'Brien was sent on an assignment to retrieve the Hayashi Urn and to get rid of any liability, and that included Summer, but for some reason he finds himself unable to do so. Now it is up to this unlikely "couple" to keep the urn out of the evil clutches ( delusional cult ) of those who are set out to "cleanse the world". This book is not really what I usually read but I ran out of the type of books I read at the Library and I'm glad I picked up this book.   Ice Blue had loss, betrayal, murder and buddi...
