Waiting on Wednesday #104 - The Perfect Hope by Nora Roberts

Image
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. My pick: The Perfect Hope (Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy #3) by Nora Roberts The Montgomery brothers and their eccentric mother are breathing new life into the town of Boonsboro, Maryland, by restoring its historic hotel. And they’re finding their own lives revamped by love. This is Ryder’s story... Ryder is the hardest Montgomery brother to figure out — with a tough-as-nails outside and possibly nothing too soft underneath. He’s surly and unsociable, but when he straps on a tool belt, no woman can resist his sexy swagger. Except apparently Hope Beaumont, the innkeeper of his own Inn BoonsBoro. And though the Inn is running smoothly, thanks to Hope’s experience and unerring instincts, her big-city past is about to make an unwelcome — and embarrassing — appearance. Seeing Hope vulnerable stirs up Ryder’s emotions and makes him realize...

Title: Wild for You Series: Tropical Heat #1 Author: Sophia Knightly Release Date: November 7th 2011 Publisher: Victoria Koch Age: Adult To Love, Honor, and Protect Detective Clay Blackthorne has his hands full when he promises to safeguard an old college pal’s sister without letting her know what he’s up to.

But as passion ignites and Marisol falls for the tender heart buri...

Book Review: Destined by Jessie Harrell

Image
Title: Destined Author: Jessie Harrell Release Date: November 15th, 2011 Publisher: Mae Day Publishing Age: Young Adult When Psyche receives a prophecy gone horribly wrong, she learns that even the most beautiful girl in Greece can have a hideous future. Her fate? Fall in love with the one creature even the gods fear. As she feels herself slipping closer into the arms of the prophecy, Psyche must choose between the terrifyingly tender touch she feels almost powerless to resist and the one constant she's come to expect out of life: you cannot escape what is destined. Destined is a fresh and heartachingly romantic retelling of the Cupid & Psyche myth from debut novelist, Jessie Harrell. I'm familiar with the Greek mythology story of Psyche and Eros, so Destined was on my radar from some time ago. Finally I read it, and it's definitely recommended. Psyche is a young lady who is 'cursed' with being the most beautiful girl in Greece. Her fami...

Book Review: Runaway Heart by Claudy Conn

Image
Title: Runaway Heart Author: Claudy Conn Release Date: September 24th 2012 Age: Adult Spirited Chelsea decided she’d sooner run away to London than return to her vain and selfish guardian, Aunt Augusta. But in her wildest dreams, she never imagined her dear godmother would arrange a Season—or convince the ton’s most eligible bachelor to take her under his wing. Lord Wainwright was a handsome rogue who was not interested in coy games and missish airs. He expected a country mouse with no polish, but instead he found a thoroughly engaging minx, and was oddly irritated by all the male attention she received. Chelsea with her unspoiled eye saw beyond Wainwright’s pursuit of hedonism to the intriguing man underneath. But to her shock, it appeared his heart belonged to her horrid Aunt Augusta! I downloaded Runaway Heart free from Amazon ( I think it's still free ), and it was a nice surprise! Chelsea is a spirited young lady, who has been forgotten by her gua...
