Craved by a Wolf (Eternal Mates #20) by Felicity Heaton. Paranormal Romance Release & ARC Review.

GOODREADS

Hella is one witch who is done with relationships. Having rid herself of a clingy nymph, she’s determined to stay single and savour everything her fae town in Geneva has to offer—with no strings attached. The trouble is, it turns out breaking up with a king isn’t as easy as she’d thought. Her ex just sent a legion to kidnap her and take her to the faerie realm of Lucia.

And he wants to make her his queen.

Grant MacKinnon is one wolf shifter who prefers a quiet life. His home in a glen in Scotland, his small wolf pack, and fine whisky is all he needs. The trouble is, a witch in the fae town in Fort William just cursed him to die if he doesn’t find his fated mate and bring her to her. Now he craves a female he’s never met, one he was convinced didn’t exist, and he refuses to believe she’s really his one true mate… until he sets eyes on the beautiful blue-haired lass.

And his wolf instincts howl that she was made for him.

And when he realises she’s in danger and another male wants her as his queen, MacKinnon will stop at nothing to protect her and claim her as his mate.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alpha wolf shifter Grant MacKinnon has been cursed by a witch.  This is going to cause our hero and his wolf some terrible stress and heartache.  He faces the frustration of being a very strong Alpha, unable to do what he needs,  or at times even move.  

Hella is a very independent witch with a very serious problem of her own.  The last thing our heroine needs or wants is another possessive male trying to control her.  

This is a sexy,  action packed, paranormal romance.  It's filled with very exciting, magical battles and lots of giggles.  As usual with this author,  the fight scenes are so realistic you'll be ducking for cover.  If you've read any of the other books in this series you will have met some of the characters before.  You can easily read this book on it's own, but it will definitely get you hooked, and you will go and buy lots more from this author.  Every one of her books is just as exciting and the rest.  

I loved it.

WolfeShield (De Wolfe Pack Generations #6) by Kathryn Le Veque. Medieval Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS

Sometimes, men are impulsive in life and love. When Ronan de Wolfe, son of James de Wolfe (A Wolfe Among Dragons), marries young and impulsively, the consequences will prove to be disastrous when he meets the love of his life.

Will de Wolfe honor stand the test? Or will true love crush a man of good character?

Ronan de Wolfe, the mild-mannered but powerful son of James de Wolfe, married on a whim against the advice of his father and grandfather. He married into the powerful Northumberland de Grey family, a family that rivals the House of de Wolfe in both strength and wealth. Coerced by a cunning de Grey father, Ronan found himself married before he knew what happened.

The years pass. Ronan is married and miserable. His wife has lovers, shaming both houses. Children are born, but they are not Ronan’s. With some measure of peace on the England/Scotland borders, Ronan amuses himself in local tournaments to get away from his horrible home life. Along with his best friend, they enjoy celebrity status of the great tournament champions, but when his friend is mortally wounded and asks Ronan to take care of his pregnant wife, the situation changes drastically.

Ronan meets the woman he should have married.

Isabeth de Brito is a beautiful woman from a minor noble family. Pregnant with her dead husband’s child, she and Ronan form a strong friendship as he tends to her every need, but in Ronan’s case, it is much more. Friendship turns to love. When Ronan’s petty, foolish wife realizes Ronan is paying attention to another woman, innocent as it is, the claws come out. Her powerful family can ruin Isabeth and her family—permanently.

When Ronan’s father is forced into finding Isabeth another husband, Ronan can only stand by and watch the woman he loves as she is courted by another man.

Will there be a happily ever after for Ronan and Isabeth? Or will Ronan have to watch his love marry another?

It’s another wild ride for de Wolfe Pack Generations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As a young man Ronan de Wolfe was seduced by a high born woman and forced by her powerful family to marry her.  This has proved to be a disaster for him.  He is a proud and honourable man who keeps his vows.  Unfortunately everyone knows his wife is completely opposite.  None of her three daughters belong to him, and she sleeps with any man who takes her fancy.  

Our hero tries his best to ignore his wife's behaviour, but there will come a time he can't.  

Isabeth de Brito married young.  Her husband worships the ground she walks on,  and she is a grateful and obedient wife.  When her husband dies unexpectedly her life changes drastically. Our heroine might have been treated like fragile glass,  but she is anything but.  Her fire irons occasionally come in handy. 

This is a wonderful medieval romance with characters that you will fall in love with easily.  You will need the box of tissues handy.  Our author has the habit of wringing every drop of emotion out of us be it laughter or tears. This book certainly does that.  The de Wolfe family will be very well known to regular readers of this author,  but each family member has a very different story,  and every book is original, thoroughly entertaining and impossible to put down.  You will be very surprised at how this particular love story unfolds. 

An absolutely fabulous book.  

I loved every page.

A Governess of Wise Years (The Governess Bureau #6) by Emily E.K. Murdoch. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS

The Governess Bureau is about to close – but Miss Vivienne Clarke has one chance to redeem it, and herself.

Scandal. Intrigue. Love matches. The Governess Bureau was never supposed to be full of these things, but over the last few years, no fewer than five matches have been made.

It’s something the proprietress, Miss Vivienne Clarke, simply cannot allow to continue.

With only one client remaining for the previously esteemed Governess Bureau now it has been called into disrepute, Vivienne has no choice but to take on the assignment herself; Caring for the daughter of Edwin, Viscount Bysshe.
It would be so much easier if she had not turned down his offer of marriage fifteen years ago.

Edwin wouldn’t consider himself a man who carries a grudge, he just wants to prove to the world that Miss Clarke is incompetent and her whole Bureau idea is a scam. After all, she chose it over him all those years ago. Besides, he has secrets to hide about his daughter, and her mysterious origins.

All Vivienne wants to do is salvage her reputation, restore her business, and return to London with her heart intact.
She’s a governess of wise years, but is that enough to save herself from even more heartbreak?

This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Miss Vivienne Clarke is very upset.  After so many of the employees from her Governess Bureau have broken her rules,  the business and herself are being blamed and destroyed in the gossip sheets.  She has one more post to fill and only the last governess.  This will be either the end, or recovery of her life's work. 

Edwin Viscount Bysshe and his daughter can't seem to agree on anything, not even what she calls him.  It's time for her to have a governess. Whether she wants one or not.  

Our lead characters have a personal history that is going to cause all sorts of problems.  

A lively and amusing historical romance that is the final instalment of a fabulous series of stand alone stories.  I have read and enjoyed every one of them.  

I'm looking forward to what ever this author will bring us next.  

Great fun.

Ruff Justice ( Ruff Wooing #2) by Anna Markland. Historical Romance (Tudor) Release & ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS

Like his father and brother before him, Julian Hawke is a well-respected London goldsmith—and an informant for Elizabeth Tudor’s Spymaster. But he craves the challenge of a more significant role in espionage. As part of a plan to trap the imprisoned Mary of Scotland in treasonous activities, he is sent to France as a double agent. His mission is to deliver false documents to the exiled Thomas Morcant, one of the Scottish queen’s stalwart supporters and a suspect in the attempted murder of Julian’s brother.
Things go awry in Paris when Julian meets Morcant’s sister. He is drawn to her but assumes she has come to France as a courier for Mary.

Sara Morcant has travelled to Paris in a last-ditch effort to dissuade her older brother from involvement in the plot to put the Scottish queen on the English throne. She finds herself falling for Julian Hawke but, when she discovers he has met with her brother, fears he must be a courier for the traitors plotting Elizabeth’s overthrow.

Untangling the web of intrigue in which they are mired could implicate them both in the deadly plot to assassinate Elizabeth Tudor and lead to arrest and execution.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Julian Hawke is a talented Goldsmith and like his father and brother before him, an informer for the Crown. Unfortunately the Queen's spy master pushes him to get a bit more than just information this time.  

Our hero is not really cut out for the work of a spy, but nobody can say no when the spy master calls. 

Sara Morcant and her little brother are in Paris to see their older brother who has been imprisoned in the Bastille. Our heroine is trying to make her brother see how much danger he has put them all in, but he's a very stubborn man. 

This is an action packed historical romance is set in Queen Elizabeth's troubled Reign.  The politics of the time and the troubles caused by religion are very well described and make for exciting reading.  Our sexy hero has his own secrets to hide.  

This is the second book in the series but as there are a few years between the settings, you don't need to have read the first to enjoy this one.  It would help to understand the relationship our goldsmiths have with the spy master though.  

I loved it.

I’m a Canadian author with a keen interest in genealogy. I write medieval romance about family honour, ancestry, and roots. My novels are intimate love stories full of passion and adventure.

Passion conquers whatever obstacles a hostile medieval world can throw in its path. My page-turning adventures have earned me a place on Amazon’s All-Star list.

Besides writing, I have two addictions-crosswords and genealogy, probably the reason I love research. I am a fool for cats. My husband is an entrepreneur who is fond of boasting he’s never had a job.

I live on Canada’s scenic west coast now, but I was born and raised in the UK and I love breathing life into the history of my homeland.

GOODREADS

Famous across Texas, the Legends stand ready to take on any challenge that comes their way...

Crockett Legend has always loved Paisley Mahone, but a family feud sure can ruin a romance. When her father waged a war against the Legends, Paisley took her father's side. They've never seen eye to eye, and the rift widened when Paisley's brother was killed in prison--after being sentenced by none other than Crockett.

Now Paisley's father is dead too, and she's headed home to mourn with the rest of her family when she runs into Crockett on the train. But when the train is held up by outlaws, it comes to Crockett and Paisley to save a young shooting victim. She never thought being close to Crockett could make her feel anything but revulsion ever again, but some second changes are worth the risk...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Paisley Mahone has returned home for her father's funeral.  According to her brother somebody poisoned their well. He blames the people from the nearby cattle ranch. 

Crockett Legend is glad to see his childhood sweetheart, but she hates everything to do with his family.

I'm a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of historical western romance. I live in the Texas Panhandle on land they call the Llano Estacado where the Native Americans and Comancheros once roamed and I can often hear their voices whispering in the wind. History is thick here with the ghosts of the people who settled this land. I love writing western historical romance and can't imagine doing anything else. I love a man in a Stetson and tight pants. Oh man! Those cowboys sure make my heart beat faster.

Tough Justice (K-9 Special Ops #1) by Tee O'Fallon. Romantic Suspense Release & ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS

A thrilling, fast-paced romantic suspense perfect for fans of Piper J. Drake and Katie Ruggle from a former federal agent.

It should have been a routine investigation. Instead, DEA K-9 agent Adam “Deck” Decker watches in horror as one Denver hospital seems to be Ground Zero for overdoses of a new drug. Now Deck can only hope a certain icy, green-eyed ER doctor will help him and his canine partner track down the deadly source.

Dr. Tori Sampson has her reasons for not trusting federal agents, especially ones working for the DEA. But the rash of overdoses—including a heartbreaking case involving a teen—is alarmingly high. And the new opioid is not only extremely dangerous, it defies all the usual medical treatments. So Tori has a choice: work with the big, brawny, and annoyingly hot DEA agent…or watch more innocent people die.

Tori’s the only person who can help Deck break the case, and they’ll need to trust each other, no matter how high the tension and attraction sizzling between them runs. But with every question answered, they realize there’s something more behind these typical teen overdoses. There’s a pattern here, and a pattern can only suggest one thing. There’s a killer on the loose.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

DEA agent Adam Decker and his K9 partner are on the trail of the maker of a particularly nasty new batch of a drug that nearly took out one of their team.  Luckily the other agent was saved by one of the ER doctors.  

This hospital seems to be getting more and more of these over doses all the time. 

Dr. Victoria Sampson has seen too many people die of this new drug.  Despite her dislike of anything to do with the DEA she wants to help save lives. 

This is an action packed romantic /suspense / thriller.  The characters are fabulous especially Thor.  There are plenty of suspects to choose from and it's not until nearly the end that we find out who the guilty party is.  There are secrets to reveal and bullets to dodge. 

This is the start of a new series and I will definitely be reading all of them.  

I loved it.

GOODREADS

For fans of Grace Burrowes, Sarah Maclean, and Bridgerton, USA Today bestselling author Anna Harrington brings you a sexy feminist historical romance with:

• An unapologetic rake attempting to cover up his past
• A rule-following heroine unafraid to speak her mind
• Thrilling action and mystery
• Passionate attraction that overrides their deepest resistance

Notorious rake Alexander Sinclair, Earl of St James, takes pride in displaying his sins. When he's tasked by the Home Office with finding the men who attempted to assassinate the prime minister, his hunt leads him to Olivia Everett, a most proper schoolmistress who wants nothing to do with a profligate nobleman like him.

Unknown to her, Olivia's brother, Henry, has been working with the revolutionary group planning to overthrow the government. Shocked and hoping to save her brother, Olivia agrees to help the persuasive earl. But they closer they get to uncovering the villains, the more Alec and Olivia will need to trust each other.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alexander Sinclair,  Earl of St. James works with the Home Office and is trying to track those responsible for the attempt to kill the Prime Minister. Our hero has had an unhappy childhood and those memories make him see people as either good or bad,  no in between. 

Miss Olivia Everett is a teacher and manager of a school for girls.  Her reputation must stay completely spotless or she could damage the school.  If people knew the secret she hides all could be lost.  

This historical romance does follow on from the previous books in the series,  but you can still read and enjoy it on it's own.  All the characters have plenty of depth.  There is a lot of and danger a mystery to solve.  A very exciting story and I will definitely be reading the next one.  

Great fun.

I fell in love with historical romances and all things Regency—and especially all those dashing Regency heroes—while living in England, where I spent most of my time studying the Romantic poets, reading Jane Austen, and getting lost all over the English countryside.

When I read my first Regency romance in 2012, I was hooked and longed to create my own independent and spirited heroines and dashing heroes. The best part of writing historical romances is falling into history—to live in the world of Regency England through my characters, with dazzling balls, beautiful dresses, and gorgeous houses that I would otherwise never be able to experience. I love the period’s rich history and find that all those rules of etiquette and propriety can be worked to the heroine’s advantage…if she’s daring enough to seize her dreams.

In addition to earning my degrees in the U.S., I have studied theatre in London, Mexican history in Guadalajara, and Spanish in Ecuador. I am an avid traveler and have enjoyed visiting schools and volunteering with children's organizations in Peru, Ecuador, Thailand, and Mexico, and I have amassed thousands of photos I unleash on unsuspecting friends who dare to ask about my travels.

I love to be outdoors! I've been hiking in Alaska, the Andes, and the Alps, including one week spent dangling off the via ferrata in the Italian Dolomites, and I love whitewater rafting (when I don't fall in!). I earned my pilot’s license at Chicago Midway (To all the controllers in Chicago Center—I greatly apologize for every problem I caused for you and Southwest Airlines), and it is my dream to one-day fly in a hot-air balloon over Africa.

I adore all things chocolate, shamelessly dive into ice cream of any flavor, and guzzle Kona coffee by the gallon. A Doctor Who fanatic (everyone says my house is bigger on the inside), I am a terrible cook who hopes to one day use my oven for something other than shoe storage. When I'm not writing, I like to spend my time trying not to kill the innocent rose bushes in my garden.
