Made the Grade: Hot & Nerdy Series, Book 5

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Kindle Edition - File Size: 869 KB | Expected Release Date: November 24, 2015 | Publisher: Kensington Books : Lyrical Press | Obtained: NetGalley

"His New Jam" [Hot & Nerdy Series, Book 5] by Shannyn Schroeder

Author's Book Description : Sydney Peters can’t wait to finally drop the cymbals in marching band and devote time to her true love: drums. With the semester coming to a close, she’s blocking out the cacophony during practice, especially sax serenades from Hunter Reed. But when Hunter offers her a paid gig as a drummer in his band, Sydney quickly changes her tune. The two favor different styles, but they make beautiful music together…in more ways than one.

Hunter is fascinated by Sydney’s distant allure. He might be a ladies’ man on campus, but the sarcastic cymbalist is impervious to his advances. When Hunter sees how passionate Sydney is behind the drums, he orchestrates a plan to find out if she kisses like she plays. What he doesn’t anticipate, however, is falling so hard. But will the repercussions of his past crash down on his chance at something real?

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, Sydney has dealt with a difficult dating experience and knows that she never wants to be with a man who will treat her that way again. So, when Hunter, a college senior and lead saxophonist in the marching band, singles her out and majorly flirts with her it makes her leery. She thinks he's hot and as they get to know one another better through their love of music she trusts him better, yet Hunter seems too much like her ex-boyfriend. And Hunter will do whatever it takes to prove to her that he is the man for her!

This sweetly erotic novel keeps you on your toes with its quirky characters and fast paced plotline. I was intrigued with Hunter with how he goes about winning over Sydney’s affection one serenade at a time. In addition, I liked how they came together as a couple. Nevertheless, I wish Sydney’s POV wasn’t portrayed as harsh as it was and that the ending had an epilogue.

Overall, I do recommend this novel to those looking for a quirky New Year’s Celebration New Adult contemporary romance!

Made the Grade: Immortal Danger by Cynthia Eden

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 262 KB | Release Date: March 2009 | Publisher: Kensington Brava Books

"Immortal Danger" by Cynthia Eden

My Book Summary : Five years ago Maya was just a good cop doing her job in keeping the streets clean, but then she got turned into a vampire and her murderers that she protected the city from have now changed from human to demon - were's - and even her own kinda ... vampires. However, even though she protects L.A. mostly on her own, she rarely takes jobs helping to save others. So, when Adam tracks her down and tells her he needs her help to save his niece, at first, she tries her damnedest no to take the job, saying she's not a helper. But when he doesn't take that answer all bets are off ... she stuck into helping him whether she likes it or not.

Though after Maya taking his blood as part of her payment during that first night together they both realize that they are attracted to each other more so then they could have predicted, even with Adam's great dislike of all vampires. Plus, with Adam keeping secrets about himself from her who knows where things will lead .... but as a new day approaches and it brings them that much closer to where the child is being kept, they'll find fate as more in store for them then they ever would have believed.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! The chemistry between Maya and Adam burns the pages .... I couldn't put the book down! Especially since you are never quite sure what he has up his sleeve, but Adam was able to charm me just from the pages! And since he's secret isn't one you usually read about, I really liked how the author portrayed it! In truth I think the author could have made a trilogy or small series just out of these two characters. The only reason that this book didn't get a hire score from me was because the ending was good ... but not great ... with all the build up I wish it could have been better.

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : Eternal Hunter

Book Teaser(s) :
"Maya..."
She didn't glance back at him as she said, "You were pretty out of it when we left Blood Rock, so you probably don't remember our little friend taking a drive with us."
"You knocked me out! Dragged me here---"
Her hand shoved against his chest, sending him slamming back against the tiled wall. Water soaked her arm and fingers. "Do you remember what happened the last time you pissed me off? 'Cause you wouldn't shut the hell up?" ~ within Chapter 9

Feasted On: Oklahoma Nights Series, Book 3

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 305; Kindle Edition - File Size: 930 KB | Expected Release Date: March 25, 2014 | Publisher: Kensington Books : Brava | Obtained: NetGalley

"Three Weeks With A Bull Rider" [Oklahoma Nights Series, Book 3] by Cat Johnson

Author's Book Description : One Broken Man...

Cowboy Jace Mills has suffered fewer injuries from bucking bulls than he has from his ex-girlfriend. Following his best friend Tucker’s advice, Jace is convinced it’s time to move on. But with his ex’s tight rein on him, easier said than done.

One Broken Heart...

Tara Jenkins learned a lot in her sports medicine courses, but not how to fix her broken heart. So when her brother Tucker suggests using her skills on the rodeo, it gives her the perfect opportunity to ride off into the sunset—or at least run away.

Three Weeks Together...

Only problem is, Jace and Tara have had a hate-hate relationship for over a decade, putting up with each other for Tucker’s sake. With their long history as frenemies, they know sparks will fly, they just never expect them to flare into scorching passion...

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! Steamy, light-hearted, and sweet this novel has everything you could ask for, if only it didn't have to end! While trying to finally break things off with his slightly abusive ex-girlfriend and move on with his life, Jace helps out his best friend's little sister (Tara) by becoming her traveling partner during her internship with the bull rider association's sports medicine team. Usually they have a hate-hate relationship but as the days go by they find they have more in common then they ever expected leaving them unsure if they should turn their relationship into something a whole lot more or not...

I really enjoyed this novel!! From the main characters to Dillon & his wife to Tara's sexual adventures, I didn't want to put this novel down! I am actually happy I hadn't read any other novel in this series so I couldn't be prejudice to any of the secondary characters, therefore I could side with Tara and Jace with their thoughts on curtain characters. I loved Tara's snarky attitude and Jace's older "wisdom." They are a great match-up!

My only wish was that this novel was longer and/or that it had more of how their relationship is going after where the book ends, like in the form of an epilogue.

Overall, though, I HIGHLY recommend this novel to anyone who loves cowboys and/or contemporary slightly erotic romances!!

Made the Grade: When a Lord Needs a Lady by Jane Goodger

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 250; Kindle Edition - File Size: 883 KB | Expected Release Date: February 6, 2014 | Publisher: Kensington Books | Obtained: NetGalley

"When a Lord Needs a Lady" by Jane Goodger (aka Jane Blackwood)

Author's Book Description : Lord Graham Spencer needs a wife.

But not just any girl will do. She must have the money to save his dilapidated estate and desperate tenants. So when he meets a charming American lady’s maid on the beach at Brighton, the last thing he ought to do is kiss her.

Katherine Wright is hunting a titled husband.

Or at least her mother is. But Katherine can’t get the memory of a most inappropriate kiss out of her mind. The handsome stranger who took her in his arms in Brighton was only a valet, but even if she is an heiress, she’d rather spend her life with him than some stiff British aristocrat.

Can true love survive two false identities, two scheming mamas, and two lavish house parties where all is revealed? It can ...

When A Lord Needs A Lady

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! A woman who is on a trip she doesn't want to be on meets the one man who could win her heart, if only they can overcome their past obligations everything should be fine...

Katherine & Graham are quite the pair! I especially loved how they fell in love with each other while they both were pretending to be poor and how once they learn the truth it made them even more enamored with each other too. The secondary characters were another fun bunch to read about too, Katherine's maid & Graham's friend Mr. Norris were two of my favorites!

My only wish was that, even though I loved the build up to this novel and loved wrap up at the end, the "big issue" that happens to them and changes their lives for good had turned out a bit differently. I mean, like I said, I enjoyed the ending and how everything turned out and yet I really wished that Graham didn't feel like he had to second-guess himself about Katherine's intentions because of what happens. I mostly wish that because I don't like how it made me second guess Graham as a good hero in this novel even when I understood why he was behaving the way he did. =0/

Overall, though, I do recommend this novel to anyone who likes historical romances!

Book Teaser(s) :
"I imagine there will be an announcement soon, sir?"
Was Chase purposely trying to grate on his nerves? Or was he genuinely excited about the news of his engagement?
"I imagine so," Graham said, as if the pending announcement was his own date for the gallows. He wished at that moment he'd never gone to Brighton Beach, that he'd never known what it was like to finally feel something other than mild interest in a woman. She was angry with him and he supposed she had a right to be. He acted like a besotted idiot when he was around her, fully aware that nothing could ever come of it. Good God, it was a wonder she hadn't slapped him. He deserved it.
"I ought to be horsewhipped," he said, sitting down upon his bed.
"I do think that's a bit harsh, sir. Perhaps a caning would do."
Graham let out a chuckle. "You always were soft, Everett." ~ within Chapter 9

"The Virgin Huntress" [The Devil DeVere Series, Book 2] by Victoria Vane

Publication Released Date : June 29, 2012

Author's Book Description :

    Desperate times call for devilish measures. When the object of one's passion has eyes for another...it's time to take matters in hand!

    ***

    Lady Vesta Chambers is accustomed to getting what she wants...and what she wants is Captain Hewett DeVere...

    Coddled and pampered since her mother's death, Lady Vesta Chambers is beside herself when her father goes to London to prepare for her come-out and returns with a young bride of his own. With her world turned upside down, Vesta accompanies her godmother, Diana, to town where she is smitten the moment she lays eyes on a certain captain of the Seventeenth Light Dragoons.

    But when the object of her passion has eyes for another...

    Captain Hewett DeVere, younger brother and heir to Viscount Ludovic "The Devil" DeVere, has returned from the American war scarred, disillusioned, and looking forward to settling down to a quiet and respectable life. But when the handsome and straight-laced captain turns his eyes toward the widowed Diana, Vesta is prepared to take devilish measures to prove just how wrong he is.

    And the Devil DeVere looks after his own...

    Recruiting the aid of her godfather, Vesta vows to prove to Hew once and for all that she is no longer a little girl, but a woman with the passion of...a huntress.



Book Excerpt :

While Vesta tried her best to keep her mare in step with Hew and Diana, she had to keep circling her mount that jigged and frothed with nervous energy. Laughing and chatting about some race Hew had once rode on Diana's horse, they seemed to hardly take any heed of Vesta at all. How dare Aunt Di monopolize him like this!

"Are you aright wi' the mare, miss?" Pratt asked her with solicitude not forthcoming from any other quarter.

"I am fine, Mister Pratt. It's just that she has been deprived of her normal gallop since leaving Yorkshire over a sennight ago. She is accustomed to frequent and vigorous exercise and can be a handful when denied."

Vesta continued to fume. Although she could handle her mare just fine, she wondered how they all would feel if some horrible accident befell her. They would both be sorry then!

That's it! Vesta couldn't believe the answer was right before her eyes. It only wanted the proper timing and a distraction for Pratt. Determined to put her plan into action, Vesta held back, letting the others ride farther ahead. When Pratt's head was turned, she saw her chance.

Whispering a prayer of supplication to her mama, her ever-diligent guardian angel, Vesta plucked out her hat pin and tossed the riding cap to the ground. "Oh dear, Mister Pratt," she exclaimed. "I've lost my favorite hat!"

"Ne'er fret, my lady," the elder jockey said, dropping to the ground with surprising agility. In that precious, desperate moment when he knelt to retrieve the hat, Vesta dropped her reins and spurred her mare.

Artemis, who never needed strong incentive to begin with, took off down Rotten Row like a bolt of dappled-gray lightning. Vesta hung over her mare's neck, clutching the mane as if fearing for her very life, but all the while whispering sweet endearments to her most cooperative conspirator. She knew it would be a mistake to look back. Instead, she urged and cooed and waited for the sound of thunder, for her knight in that lovely, crimson crested helmet to come to her rescue and prayed fervently that her savior would not be the grizzled, little Pratt.

When she saw Captain Hew's big bay stallion gaining on the right, Vesta once more thanked her watchful mama. Knowing he would try to grab the bridle to bring her horse to a halt, Vesta nudged the mare, urging more speed, with the cue of her left heel concealed by her voluminous and billowing petticoats. Her hair had fallen in a wind-whipped tangle about her face and neck. She felt the flush in her cheeks and her blood roaring with excitement. It was the most gloriously wild ride she'd ever had, and it was all she could do not to laugh aloud!

"Can you reach the reins," Captain Hew cried, coming upon her.

"No. I'm afraid!" Vesta whimpered.

They approached the entrance to Kensington Gardens with its myriad hedgerows. "Hell and the devil!" he exclaimed, surging forth, but still unable to claim the bridle. "Trust me, Vesta," he commanded. "Let go of the horse!"

Trust him? He was a god among mortals. She would trust him if he said she could fly! And that's exactly what she felt when he swept her off her horse and onto his own. Throwing her arms about him, Vesta burrowed into his neck and simply breathed in the heavenly essence of Captain Hewett DeVere.

Feasted On: Barefoot William Series, Book 4

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 320; Kindle Edition - File Size: 861 KB | Expected Release Date: April 28, 2015 | Publisher: Kensington Books | Obtained: NetGalley

"No One Like You" [Barefoot William Series, Book 4] by Kate Angell

Authors' Book Description : No One Expects a Curveball

For Rylan Cates, the gloriously sunny beachside town of Barefoot William may be home, but the pro baseball player needs to focus on spring training. Hiring a personal assistant to keep him and his four dogs organized for the next eight weeks is the first step--and Beth Avery is the perfect pinch hitter.

Beth is still looking for her place in the world, and a couple months caring for Rylan's two dachshunds, his golden retriever, and a Great Dane named Atlas should shore up her finances before she moves on. Except it's Atlas who won't budge, pushing her toward tanned, scruffy, sexy Rylan every chance he gets. One more strike and she's calling the dog out--unless she and Rylan admit that the attraction they're feeling is a game-winning grand slam. . .

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars, Beth has been running from her past and looking for a place to stay while saving up some money before she moves on again. Taking the job as Rylan's (Ry) personal assistant would be ideal, even though she's not a fan of dogs and he has four, so she accepts the position. During Beth's time working with Ry they grow close, very close, so close that she isn't sure she wants to leave when the time comes. However, is her feelings mutual? One of Ry's dogs will prove to her that they are...

I liked this novel. Really liked it! The characters were great! Ry's dogs, mostly Atlas, were AWESOME! And it has enough build up for you to look forward to the next book too. However, sad to say, it seemed that the plot's flow falters around the last 25% of the novel making it seem slower to get through. Therefore, while I liked how everything wrapped up it wasn't as interesting as the other parts of the novel.

Nevertheless, I found Ry and Beth to be an inseparable duo. They have a sweet quality about them that made this "backwards Cinderella romance" very enchanting. Great novel!

I recommend this to those looking for a contemporary romantic dramedy!!

Feasted On: Night Watch Series, Book 1

Format: Paperback | Pages: 338 | Release Date: January 2010 | Publisher: Kensington Brava Books

"Eternal Hunter" [Night Watch Series, Book 1] by Cynthia Eden

My Book Summary : Erin is the new Assistant District Attorney in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and she's already fighting with judges trying to keep the bad guys in jail (or worse). But that isn't the only reason she is there, she's also trying to run away from her past and a stalker who wants her in the worst way. Everything seems to be okay then the guy she has been trying to get locked up for a while now, gets murdered right under the cops noses (in their jail cell)! Shortly after that happens she receives a message/note from her stalker, letting her know that he did it for her and he misses her. Romantic right!? *hahaa* Wrong.

Erin (who usually is afraid of nothing), asks Jude, a bounty hunter working at Night Watch, to protect her and hopefully stop this guy for good. But the stalker is trickier then they expected....

Will they be able to stop him before he kills again? Can they stop him before finally he decides to stake his claim on Erin?

As Jude and Erin get further in their search for the killer/stalker and get closer to each other .... will they be able to trust each other enough to make it through ... or will their secrets and the stalker tear them apart?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars. I couldn't get enough of this book!! Jude & Erin were great characters!! I loved them as a couple! The secondary characters were good too. If the second book is just as good .. then I think this will end up being a great series!!

Book Teaser(s) :
"I think baiting the asshole out there might not be our smartest move, and I think that next time, you better let me know your plans." Because being in the dark sucked, and if she was going up against the wolf, she wanted to know everything.
"Got it." A quick glance her way. "But, for the record, I kissed you because I wanted to do it. Because you've got the sexiest mouth I've ever seen, and because I wanted to taste you." ~ within Chapter 11

Or worse, will the skeletons in her closet destroy her chance for the love and family she so desperately wants?

Neglected by his parents as a boy, Jake doesn’t believe in happily ever after. Yet living with Gracie and the twins might be enough to change his mind—and his womanizing ways. But when the press unearths a scandal from Gracie’s past, will he lose the one woman he was ready to open his heart to?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! After Gracie learns that her brother-in-law prematurely passes away, she is all ready to take on the job of raising her six-year-old twin nieces. Yet, at the reading of the will she learns that she has to live with another relative (Jake -- who just happens to be the extremely hot football player she had an online argument with recently) for three months to earn the guardianship. However, with Gracie wanting to keep her life out of the spotlight, Jake’s life already in the spotlight, and dealing with this unique situation will she be able to keep her life on track and her heart in one piece at the same time? Or is this the beginning of something new for them all?

This energetic and enticing novel reels you in with its unique “family dynamic,” while capturing your interest with the mystery of Gracie’s paternity and Gracie & Jake growing relationship. I was riveted while laughing the whole way through. Gracie is a fun character who knows her mind and does anything she needs to protect her love ones. Jake is an “outlaw” who reforms in this novel and reading about him settling down was so sweet! Together they are unstoppable! I didn’t want to stop reading about their romance! In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed how this novel to set up for its series. It made me excited to see where it’ll take us next!

I recommend this novel to those looking for a contemporary sports romance!

I loved watching Jake fall in love with his sisters and apparently, so did this early reviewer of To Win Her Love. She gave it 5 stars and said "There is something so sexy about a guy who is good with kids."

Book Teaser(s) :
Though his nasty insults during their disastrous exchange on her blog the other day should’ve dealt a death blow to her foolish infatuation, the two-dimensional image she’d admired on her TV screen couldn’t have prepared her for the flesh and bone temptation that was Jake Malone. Dismay crowded panic as every double X chromosome in her body quivered with giddy, XXX delight.
The X girls danced with anticipation, and the erratic thump of her heart increased with every fall of his size fifteen feet. Down, girls. He may look like every woman’s deepest sexual fantasy, but those boots are more likely to stomp us into the ground than end up under our bed. ~ within Chapter 1

Blog Tour - Feasted On: Not Always a Saint by Mary Jo Putney | Review

Today I'm turning my blog over to Mary Jo Putney, with a review of her latest novel "Not Always a Saint," which is the SEVENTH novel in The Lost Lords Series!! [Blog Tour will run on August 24 - September 18, 2015]



- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 352; Kindle Edition - File Size: 430 KB; Audiobook - Unabridged | Release Date: August 25, 2015 | Publisher: Kensington : Zebra Books | Obtained: Pump Up Your Book / NetGalley

"Not Always a Saint" [The Lost Lords Series, Book 7] by Mary Jo Putney (aka M. J. Putney)

Author's Book Description : “Adventure, passion and pure reading pleasure!” – Jo Beverley

After the death of his sweetheart when he was at university, Daniel Herbert buried his grief in medical studies and his passion for healing. Viewed as a saint by those who know him, in his own mind he never quite manages to live up to his own high standards.

Most men would be thrilled to learn they’ve inherited a title and estate from a distant relative, but Daniel is appalled because the burden of wealth will interfere with his medical calling. Warily he accepts that he must enter society and seek a wife—a sensible woman who can oversee his properties, leaving him free to continue his work. He does not expect to become intoxicated by a woman called the Black Widow, who is as mysterious as she is shockingly beautiful…

Jessie Kelham’s looks have always been a curse. Now alone with a young daughter and a perilous secret, she is in need of protection. But dangerously attractive Daniel Herbert is not the kind of husband she has in mind. If he recognizes her, the demons of her past will surely erupt. Yet they cannot keep apart—and soon they are drawn into a union that may bring joy—or shattering danger…

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! Jezebel (Jessie/Lisbet) has had a tough life. Growing up as the daughter of a very strict vicar then to become married to an abuser and now to have her current husband pass away leaving her to safeguard her daughter by any means necessary, like finding another man to marry who can give her security and protection sooner then she would like too. Daniel is a perfect choice. He’s the type of man she would like to marry, if only he was a bit older, but with her “shady past” can she be the right woman for him?

While overall a mysterious novel full of intrigue, it was the characters’ banter and the circumstances that brought Jessie and Daniel together that held my interest! Set during the Regency era in England, it deals with abusive husbands/fathers, bigamy, treacherous nephews, an unwanted husband search, and more than enough other things to keep its readers on their toes. In addition, I enjoyed that while this novel is a part of a series, it brings the some previous characters in so seamlessly while building for the following novel (#8) and still coming off as a standalone so I could understand everything that was going on. Very well written and the ending was VERY surprising!

As for the main characters, Jessie and Daniel, they are a matched set. On paper, they were everything both didn’t want for in a partner. Yet, as they get to know one another, better they find that they are the perfect match! I don’t think I’ve ever stated this for a character, but I found Daniel to be pure, and while he constantly says that he is no saint, I will admit he is quite the gentleman. He’s one man I’d recommend anyone to fall for! Together Daniel and Jessie make a very good team. I’d LOVE to read more about them!

I recommend this novel to those who are fans of the series and/or to those looking for an intense Regency romance!

Refusing to back down, he asked, "Do you dislike me? I've thought there was a certain harmony of mind as well as a powerful attraction between us, but perhaps that's wishful thinking on my part."
She bit her lip. She was a good liar when necessary, but she didn't want to lie to this man. "You're not wrong, but attraction isn't a sound basis for a marriage."
"Isn't it a start?" he asked quizzically. "Shouldn't we at least try to discover if we'd suit?"
"Didn't anyone ever tell you it's ungentlemanly to ask a lady why she doesn't accept you?" Jessie said with sudden exasperation. "A simple 'no' should suffice!"
His mouth curved wryly. "As with the rule about morning calls, I'm aware of that, but I don't choose to comply. This is too important. You're too important." ~ within Chapter 11

About the Author :

Mary Jo Putney was born in Upstate New York with a reading addiction, a condition for which there is no known cure. After earning degrees in English Literature and Industrial Design at Syracuse University, she did various forms of design work in California and England before inertia took over in Baltimore, Maryland, where she has lived very comfortably ever since.

While becoming a novelist was her ultimate fantasy, it never occurred to her that writing was an achievable goal until she acquired a computer for other purposes. When the realization hit that a computer was the ultimate writing tool, she charged merrily into her first book with an ignorance that illustrates the adage that fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Fortune sometimes favors the foolish and her first book sold quickly, thereby changing her life forever, in most ways for the better. (“But why didn’t anyone tell me that writing would change the way one reads?”) Like a lemming over a cliff, she gave up her freelance graphic design business to become a full-time writer as soon as possible.

Since 1987, Ms. Putney has published over forty books and counting. Her stories are noted for psychological depth and unusual subject matter such as alcoholism, death and dying, and domestic abuse. She has made all of the national bestseller lists including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USAToday, and Publishers Weekly. Five of her books have been named among the year’s top five romances by The Library Journal, while three were listed in the Top Ten Romances of the year by Booklist, published by the American Library Association.

A ten-time finalist for the Romance Writers of America RITA, she has won RITAs for "Dancing on the Wind" and "The Rake and the Reformer" and is on the RWA Honor Roll for bestselling authors. She has also been awarded two Romantic Times Career Achievement Awards, four NJRW Golden Leaf awards, plus the NJRW career achievement award for historical romance. In 2013 she was awarded the Romance Writers of America Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award.

Though most of her books have been historical romances, she has also published three contemporary romances, several paranormal historicals with strong fantasy elements, a young adult historical fantasy trilogy, and numerous novellas and short stories. She is currently writing the New York Times list bestselling Lost Lords historical romance series for Kensington.

Ms. Putney lives near Baltimore, Maryland with her nearest and dearest, both two and four footed. She says that not least among the blessings of a full-time writing career is that one almost never has to wear pantyhose.

Mary Jo Putney is the recipient of the 2013 RWA Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award
