My Teaser!

As she approached her car, she noticed that the tire on the driver's side was slashed and the window on the same side was shattered. She looked inside her car and saw a large white rock with "WHORE" spray painted in red letters on the tiny fragments of glass covering the driver's seat.

The Scottish Witch

Portia Maclean believes she is beyond love and marriage. Then one moonlit night, while attempting a daring masquerade in a desperate bid to protect her family, she finds herself swept off her feet by a powerful stranger. But what will he do once he discovers she has betrayed him?

Harry Chattan is fighting for his family. For two hundred years the Chattan men have been destroyed by love . . . and now he's come to Scotland on the hunt for a witch to break the curse. Instead he finds himself bewitched by Portia. Harry has vowed to fight the demons that torture him.

But will that battle destroy her as well?

Review:
When compared to the first book in the series, this one is definitely slower paced however still quite compelling, heartfelt with a nice mix of characters. Portia is a very family orientated woman, devoted and headstrong as well as a good provider. Harry doesn't fall short off the mark, even though not expected of him. His love for his brother is overwhelming and beautiful. Both characters showed so much love for their family - a joy to read.

Can't wait for the next book in the series, The Devil's Heart: The Chattan Curse.

Seducing Mr.Knightly

For ages, it seems, advice columnist Annabelle Swift has loved Derek Knightly, editor-owner of The London Weekly, from a distance. Determined to finally attract her boss's attention, she seeks advice from her loyal readers—who offer Annabelle myriad suggestions . . . from lower-cut bodices (success!) and sultry gazes (disaster!) to a surprise midnight rendezvous (wicked!).

Derek never really took note of his shy, wallflower lady writer. But suddenly she's exquisite . . . and he can't get Annabelle out of his mind! She must be pursuing someone, but who? For some inexplicable reason, the thought of her with another man makes Knightly insanely jealous.

Review:

A refreshing fun story filled with change and growth as well as heaps of laugh out loud moments. Absolutely loved the characters, especially Annabelle- a courages woman and Derek Knightly- what a hero!

This one is filled with heart and is not to be missed.

A Most Naked Solution

Lady Sophia Harding: beautiful, blond, and . . . capable of murder? That's what Lord Camden Grey intends to find out. It is Camden's duty to uphold the laws of the land. His neighbor's pale beauty and winsome grace don't make her the most likely suspect, but is the innocent and altogether beguiling look in her eyes the truth, or is she secretly a scheming seductress?
Lord Camden Grey is entirely too distracting and too smart. Sophia knows that to keep her family's secrets, she must avoid any entanglements with the powerful and brutally handsome man. But the pull of their mutual desire is all-consuming. Can Sophia trust Camden with the truth when she knows it might kill the love that has grown between them?

Review:

Another short story with lots of potential for more character and plot development, still the author did bring into play Sophia and Camden quite nicely, enough so that it left me wanting to read more. 
Sorry this wasn't a full length book but it was still a good read.

The Devil's Thief

The daughter of a reformed jewel thief, Julianna Harte knows a thing or two about stealth. When the foundling home she provides for finds itself in dire financial straits, Julianna is forced to do the unthinkable. In a bit of misguided Robin Hood derring-do, she slips through the window of a wealthy rake to search for a treasure she knows is there: an invaluable pearl. But when the towering and very naked occupant of the moonlit bedroom ambushes her with a bargain—a night in his bed in exchange for the pearl—Julianna doesn't know if it's masculine heat or sheer desperation that makes his terms so tempting.

Alasdair Sharpe had no intention of keeping his end of the bargain. Planning to offer his little cat burglar carte blanche instead, he promptly loses himself in the delights of unexpected pleasure. But when he awakes the next morning to find his family heirloom gone, fury quickly replaces sensual languor. Of course, Alasdair is more than willing to use seduction to reclaim his stolen pearl—and find the key to Julianna's heart.

Review:

I got through this one quite quickly, no more than an hour. I will admit that the plot is absolutely horrible, however the sex...oh lala!.... Hot, Hot, Hot. Alasdair and Julianna could not be any more deserving of each other, you must read to understand what I mean.

Cassandra Adams stalled inside the door. What was she doing here? She didn't belong in this smoky club where sex, booze and sweat cloyed the air.

My teaser!

This definitely wasn't the cozy scene she'd been expecting. Unsure now, she hesitated in the arched doorway and pulled the robe tighter.
