Review:Miss Winters Proposes by Frances Fowlkes

An unseemly proposal...  Juliet Winters has come up with a wonderfully devious plan to avoid marrying her vile cur of a cousin. First, she'll propose marriage to her handsome, reclusive neighbor, Lord Colwyn. Then, once she has both name and financial support, she'll be able to pursue her true (if rather unladylike) passion -- breeding dogs. But when Lord Colwyn rejects her proposal... Juliet must take matters into her own hands.  The last thing Benjamin Colwyn expected was for the spirited Juliet to blackmail him into marriage -- especially not by kidnapping his beloved canine companion. Yet despite his yearning for peace and isolation, he finds himself wanting to help her, if only to protect her from a marriage to a disreputable scoundrel. He certainly doesn't expect the woman who pilfered his dog to steal his heart, as well... 5-Stars Review Amazing historical fiction! I loved it and recommend to all book lovers. It is a story about a recluse viscount, who ne...

Review: One Real Man by Coleen Kwan

Paige was a rich and spoiled  teenage girl a...

Release Week + Giveaway: Invaded by Melissa Landers

I am so thrilled to help Melissa Landers with her release week launch party for INVADED! See a note from Melissa below and make sure to enter the giveaway! Hey, fiction lovers. I’m Melissa Landers, author of the Alienated series (YA sci-fi from Disney-Hyperion), and today I’m bouncing with excitement because THE SEQUEL IS FINALLY HERE! It’s been a year since we left Aelyx and Cara onboard the intergalactic transport, and INVADED begins with an emotional goodbye as they part ways—Aelyx returning to Earth to salvage the alliance, and Cara continuing to L’eihr to serve out her part of the student exchange. While they’re apart, our star-crossed lovers will face assassination attempts, betrayal, crippling self-doubt, and a sadistic alien Phys Ed class. (Because there’s no escaping PE, even in another galaxy.) When Aelyx and Cara finally reunite…well, let’s just say it’s combustive. ;-) What do reviewers think? I’m glad you asked! “Readers will love the seamless ble...

Review: Imperfect Strangers by David Staniforth

Synopsis How well do you know the people you see every day?  Sally hardly knows Keith. They're practically strangers until the day she smiles at him.  Would you smile so readily if you risked losing your friends?  Would you smile so readily if you risked losing your life?  Unfortunately, you can’t begin to know a person until you let them in.  Imperfect Strangers: A psychological thriller that simmers to a dark and dramatic climax. 4-Stars Review This was an interesting read. I usually like psychological thrillers and I liked this one too. But it is different from other books in some ways. First of all I loved the details about characters, which give so much insight into the way they act & secondly the way author developed his characters is outstanding. I love reading books, truthfully its rare for me to dislike a book but sometimes authors really impress me. This is one of them. I will surely be looking for more books by David Staniforth....
