Her Purrfect Match by Milly Taiden - Review



Alyssa Moran is tired of being the old cat lady with no man. She has very specific needs and goes to visit Mrs. Wilder at the Paranormal Dating Agency. Shockingly enough, she is promised a man who likes cats, wants kids, likes curves and will be wild in bed.

Grayson Green needs a mate. Fast. But he refuses to be pushed into anything. That is, until a curvy funny woman shows up in his territory saying she’s there for him. Who is he to argue with someone as delectable as Alyssa decides she wants to give herself to him?

Of course, not all is at it seems and some people want Alyssa gone and Gray dead. If Gray mates, the future of his pride will be sealed and no one can argue his place as leader. Unless it can be stopped before they ever get a chance to make some cubs. He will have to work hard at convincing a human she’s the only one for him or lose his pride and his mate.




Alyssa Moran wants a man who isn’t out to use her and loves cats, so it’s very amusing to see her paired with a cat shifter who really wants to breed, and is ok with her independence, only problem? He doesn’t believe in love. He does want a family, but wants one without that pesky emotion.

Alyssa is willing to settle at first, until she realizes that’s just another form of using her. Then things really get interesting, especially since someone wants her dead, to stop Grayson from staying the ruler of his pride.

Alyssa is a strong heroine with a horrible record with men, and Grayson is a bit of a typical loner, but together they work. They complement and build each other up, well once they actually talk things out.


Overall I really liked this book, it’s a strong addition to a series that I’m quickly calling a favorite. There was the same amount of sexy hero and heroine that I’ve come to expect from Ms. Taiden. I look forward to the next book. 




I received a copy for review. I was not compensated for my review.

His Road Home by Anna Richland - Spotlight/Giveaway


His Road Home
By: Anna Richland
Releasing October 13th, 2014
Carina Press



Blurb
Special Forces medic Rey Cruz needs to find a fiancée, fast, to avoid insulting a matchmaking Afghan warlord. Finding a picture online of a girl he barely knew back home, he fakes an engagement photo, thinking no one else will see it. But when Rey is injured while rescuing a local boy, the image no one was supposed to see goes viral.

Seattle marine biologist Grace Kim is shocked to find out she's engaged. When she's offered a plane ticket to visit her "fiancé," she takes it, looking for the answer to one question: Why did he lie? A traumatic brain injury means Rey can’t tell her, until they figure out how to communicate. Touched by Rey's funny texts and determination, Grace offers friendship—a big step for someone who prefers whales to most company.

And when Rey is finally sent home, Grace agrees to help him drive his classic car cross-country over Thanksgiving—a once-in-a-lifetime road trip that leads to what feels like real love. In front of his friends and family, she plays the caring fiancée, but what place will Grace have in Rey's new life once he's ready to be on his own again?

Prince Hafiz's Only Vice by Susanna Carr - Review/Giveaway



Prince Hafiz’s Only Vice
by Susanna Carr




BLURB:

What a royal wants…

Prince Hafiz devotes his days to his people and his nights to indulging his desires with his stunning American mistress, Lacey Maxwell. But duty requires him to marry a "suitable" bride.

In her deepest secret fantasies, Lacey naively hopes to one day wear Hafiz's ring, until her dreams are shattered and he chooses someone else.

Faced with the reality of a passionless union, Hafiz realizes the years spent with Lacey have done nothing to slake his hunger for her. Instead he's determined to turn his only vice into a virtue for the sake of his country…and each other!






Prince Hafiz loves Lacey, and Lacey loves him, but she thought they had a future, and he must marry for country and duty to be the faithful son. I felt both characters, Lacey for her disillusioned hopes and dreams and Hafiz, because he’s stuck in a life he doesn’t want.

This had a lot of angst, and I was almost sure the story was going one way, and was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t fall back on overused tropes to pull itself out. I wanted to yell and scream at the characters a few times, and that’s usually a sign of a good book to me if I care enough to become so engaged.

In the end, I enjoyed the twist and turns and liked that while it had its struggles and angst filled moments, I didn’t feel like any of that angst was just used without cause. I definitely enjoy and recommend this story.


I received a copy for the purpose of review. I was not compensated for my review. 


Excerpt:

Lacey stared at the engagement announcement. Her mind refused to comprehend the words. "Marry?" she whispered. Her wild gaze flew to Hafiz's harsh face. "You're getting married?"

She waited in agony as he rose to his full height. He looked very tall and intimidating. Almost like a stranger.

Lacey didn't realize she was holding her breath until he answered. "Yes."

The single word sent her universe into a spiral. "I don't…I don't…." She stared at the headline again, but the pain was too raw, too intense.

Her hands shook as the rage and something close to fear swirled inside her. Fear of losing everything. Pure anger at the thought of Hafiz with another woman. The fury threatened to overpower her. She wanted to scream at the injustice and claw at something. Stake her claim. Hafiz belonged to her.

"You have been with another woman." She couldn't believe it. "All this time, you were with someone else."

Hafiz's eyes narrowed at the accusation. "No. You have been the only woman in my life since I met you in St. Louis a year ago."

She was the only woman, and yet he was going to marry another? "Then how are you…I don't understand."

He braced his feet a shoulders' width apart and clasped his hands behind his back, preparing for battle. "I met the bride today and she agreed."

Lacey's mouth gaped open. "You just met her?" She snatched the flicker of hope and held on tight. "So, it's an arranged marriage."

Hafiz let out a bark of humorless laughter. "Of course."

"Then, what's the problem?" She moved slowly as she stood. Her arms and legs felt limp and shaky. "Say that you won't get married."

He looked away. "I can't." Regret tinged his voice.

Holiday Romance Hop!



Holiday Hop Featuring Jill Shalvis, Carolyn Brown, Grace Burrowes, Terry Spear, and Sarah Morgan + Giveaway

Ready or not, Christmas is right around the corner, which means shopping, food, family — and holiday romances! This season, award winning authors Jill Shalvis, Carolyn Brown, Terry Spear, and Sarah Morgan each have Christmas romances releasing. To get readers into the holiday spirit, the authors answer the following question: What is your favorite Christmas tradition?

Ladies, take it away!

Jill Shalvis author of One in a Million

My absolute favorite Christmas tradition comes on Christmas Eve when my three girls give each other their presents. These are presents that they’ve bought with their own money, or made with their own hands, for each other. I just love watching them excited to GIVE presents, not just receive. Growing up, I was desperate for a sense of family, for sisters, it never happened. It gives me so much pleasure now that my girls have what I didn’t.

Carolyn Brown author of Cowboy Boots for Christmas

Mr. B and I have this Christmas tradition that we look forward to every year. We have Easter and Thanksgiving at our house and the kids all come home on those holidays (that means cooking for 30 to 50 people). So on Christmas our kids all have their own traditions and we spend Christmas Day on the beach in Florida. We give each other this trip as our present to each other almost every year and we enjoy each other’s company for two weeks. There’s no agenda other than sitting on the deck and watching the sun set over the water in the evening, feeding the gulls and petting the cat that makes its home at the place where we stay. The sound of the ocean is my muse and sometimes I get the most wonderful plotting done while I’m there.

Grace Burrowes author of What A Lady Needs for Christmas

Gathering with family and friends, which goes way, way back. Winter seems like the worst time of year to travel, but between the cold and darkness, it’s also the time we need each other’s support the most. I take that for a year round metaphor, too.

Terry Spear author of A Highland Wolf Christmas

In A Highland Wolf Christmas, the children in the pack toss their Christmas lists into the fire where the smoke carries their message to Santa in Lapland. Now what could be more fun than that? I loved it! For us, it's opening a Christmas present Christmas Eve.

Sarah Morgan author of Maybe This Christmas

Choosing the tree. We go to the forest and it’s often snowy, crisp and cold. The foresters always have a wonderful fire blazing and we drink hot chocolate to warm up. Then my sons and I choose the biggest tree we can find and my husband, who is the voice of reason, points out that it won’t fit in the house.
