Kathryn Caskie - TO SIN WITH A STRANGER



More reviews coming this weekend from a great week of reading! This one is for the delightful historical romance of Kathryn Caskie's TO SIN WITH A STRANGER!



I really love the theme for this series of Seven Deadly Sins and how each of the seven characters, The Sinclair Brothers and Sisters, who were sent off to London by their father due to their ill behavior. They are getting by, by little money because their father is withholding their inheritance until they improve themselves and the Sinclair's name.. They each have a personality related to this theme of the Seven Deadly Sins which are, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride. This first book is on the Marquess of Blackburn, Sterling who is considered to be cursed with 'Greed'. The heroine Isobel has her issues to deal with as well with her father since she is involved with charities to raise money for widows and children but has been involved in some scandals that upsets her father. An adventurous book with a wager made at Whites that they will marry, brings the two together in a seduction that made for a fun and romantic read! Its going to be great reading about each of the Brothers and Sisters stories to learn more about each of their curses and their romance! Only problem is we have to wait for each of the books! THE MOST WICKED OF SINS will be out September 29,2009. In the meantime, go check out this first book, greatly recommended!

THE KING'S DAUGHTER by MC Halliday


I've been reading an amazing historical fantasy romance read by author MC Halliday. I had the joy of finding her books at a previous publisher a year or so ago with I CAME UP THE STAIRS, a historical regency romance. This book had me captivated by her writing voice and an absorbing read set in London. I'm just so looking forward to more in this series. I hope this book gets re-released so that others can have the joy of reading this and more from that series.

Author MC Halliday has this historical fantasy romance book, THE KING'S DAUGHTER, available through Samhain Publishing both in E-Book and Print. Below will be info on on to obtain the book as well as the author's site. Even with the first paragraph of this book, this author just pulled me right in, even the first sentence: "My father, I will honor your pledge of my betrothal." Magaith, the heroine of this story, had been betrothed to the King of Connacht. She does not want this marriage but they've been battling with this king's clan and it was seen to be the only way to bring peace among Connacht and Munster, was to have this marriage. King Muster is Magaith's father. Even her father is not happy with having to force this betrothal. Secretly, Magaith is in love with her protector, a knight named Sygtryg. I fell in love with Sygtryg on the first page! He's a hero that so strong to his King as well as to Magaith. He had to fight so much internally, I was teary eyed often. Magaith too was a heroine that had a beautiful love for Sygtryg and too had a great respect for him. I know I use the word 'battle' alot but it does explain the internal conflicts they both had to endear. As he brings her, traveling to Connacht, she opens up to her love for him and they give in to their passion for each other as they also battle so much on this journey with magic, wizards, witches, and their love for one another! Gosh, there were times I thought those tears fell from me from all they endured. As Sygtryg fought emotionally too for his passion for Magaith, she did everything on this trip to fight for him from the tragedies that they both faced. THE KING'S DAUGHTER was a fantasy that the author, MC Halliday, so smoothly, elegantly and beautifully wrote!!! I could fall into this book without having to look back to understand this world the author wrote. Everything was explained but in a way that it flowed right into the story.

I think too, MC's voice in her writing is also one that makes this story so visual, so real, makes it as watching this all unfold. I so recommend this book for those who love reading fantasy romance to those who haven't and want to try it, will be wanting to read more of MC's. I do hope there are more fantasy romances in the near future from MC Halliday. There's so much more of this story for you to read! Go below here to find the links for getting this book. Thanks again to MC Halliday for a wonderful read!

SADDLED - Erotic Romance by Delilah Devlin





Whew! A wonderful scorching cowboy menage erotic romance book! Check this out at Delilah Devlin's site HERE Its a quick read and so recommended if you enjoy these reads! Below is the book's blurb available HERE at Samhain (Blurb taken from Publishers site).

I loved how this author really brought out the unique personalities of both Cole and Bobby. They existed individually but also together with Katherine, they were one. There was just no way to see a different ending that it was. You need to read to find out! Enjoy!





Slippery when naked…

When Bobby Blackhawk and Cale Yancey see a car slide off the highway and into an icy creek, they’ve got only minutes to get the beautiful driver out alive. And only one way to save her from hypothermia: take her to their isolated cabin, get naked…and hope like hell that when she wakes up, she doesn’t scream the place down.

Katherine Duvall opens her eyes in a strange bed, and the tingles flooding her body aren’t entirely due to restored circulation. She’s snuggled between two handsome men, one a gruff, gentle giant, the other a sexy, playful Native American. Having just left her fiancé romping with another woman, she’s not quite as shocked as she might have been.

In fact, these two lonesome cowboys could be the perfect bookends to satisfy her hunger for revenge and bolster her dented self esteem. It’s not long before their raging hormones are melting the snow on the cabin roof.

To their surprise, they find something else is melting, too. Their hearts…

Warning: This title contains hot ménage scenes, anal sex, double-dipping, and two sexy cowboys—double the heat to thaw one frozen woman—and the only toys a lonely girl needs!

Can two broken hearts become one?

Attorney Jillian Samuels doesn't believe in true love and never, ever wished for happily ever after. But when a searing betrayal leaves her jobless and heartbroken, a newly inherited cottage in Salvation, Colorado, seems to offer a fresh start. What she finds when she arrives shocks her: the most gorgeous and infuriating man she's ever met is living in her home!

Tuck Manning was a gifted architect who left a skyrocketing career to care for his dying wife. But the life he's made for himself in this quiet town is turned upside down when Jillian appears on his doorstep. Tuck won't go without a fight, and the two resolve to live as roommates until they can untangle who owns the cottage. Yet as Tuck and Jillian's days--and nights--heat up, they realize more than propery rights are at stake...and that sometimes, salvation comes when you least expect it.
