BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY OF A Whisper of Desire

Sensual heat melts the ice in the new Disgraced Lords novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans, as a marriage of convenience leads to delightful pleasure—and mortal danger. Lady Marisa Hawkestone’s nightmare is just beginning when she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before, lying next to Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton—a man so aloof and rational he’s nicknamed “the Cold Duke.” A scandal ensues, in which Marisa’s beloved beau deserts her. As a compromised woman, Marisa agrees to marry Maitland. But on her wedding night, Marisa discovers the one place the duke shows emotion: in the bedroom, where the man positively scorches the sheets. Taught from a young age to take duty seriously, Maitland cannot understand his new wife’s demands on his love and affection. Marisa’s hot-blooded spirit, however, does have its attractions—especially at night. In retrospect, it seems quite silly that he didn’t marry sooner. But being one of the Libertine Scho...

A ROGUE'S PLEASURE by Hope Tarr

I got this book in a second hand store for ten dollars and I thought that this book would have been alright, but not to good.  The book is battered and has that old book smell and it took me a while to actually pick up the book and read it and I'm glad I did because I have read this book five times and I am going for my sixth.

Still in need of the money Chelsea decided to tur...

CAFE' AU LAIT by Liane Spicer

Oh my Goodness, I absolutely loved this book, mostly because it was based on my home country, which you have to read the book to find out. Shari Zamore , wanting to get away from her stupid idea of being in love with a pathetic excuse of a man, escapes to the home country of her parents, to relax and de-stress herself; where she met the most rude man, turned most wonderful man who turned into a complete jerk. Michael Chancery is this man who lets his past hamper with his future (a lot of these types of books always seem to have this problem, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm).  Would it be too late before he lets them both miss out on the best thing they ever had, which of course is each other. This book displays the beautiful scenery, landscapes, fauna and flora of my wonderful Caribbean country.  It makes me want to take a tour of my country for myself; this book paints a vivid picture of my country and the local fruits and dishes that I grew up enjoying.  This boo...
