The Wicked Heir

The Wicked Heir, by Elizabeth Michels is a wonderful addition to the "Spare Heirs" series. Fallon St. James is the heart of the organization and has no intention of changing anything in his life until he is drawn in to helping Lady Isabelle Fairlyn find a suitable match.
Fallon and Isabelle fall in to many of the "traps" that this story-line often sets, however, they handle things in a refreshing and amusing way. When Fallon is left with no other option than to protect Isabelle, he spends a lot of time with her and gives up some of his secrets and the relationship takes on a new turn.
There is a lot of romance as well as excitement in this book. It's a wonderful, fast paced read. *JK*

Scotsman of My Dreams

Scotsman of My Dreams is by Karen Ranney. It is a wonderful story featuring a strong willed woman and scarred rake who never intended to be titled. I love the dynamics of this couple, the slow buildup to romance and the mystery and intrigue that surrounds these two, creating a historical romance that is hard to be missed. All in all, it is a fast pace tale of secrets, misconceptions, deceit, betrayal, romance, passion and love. It is also well written with engaging and interesting characters. The storyline is unique and interesting. A wonderful tale of post-war trauma, and the secrets they hold. An enjoyable and satisfying read! *JK*

A Sinful Deception

A Sinful Deception is a second series of Breconridge Brothers by Isabella Bradford. Just by the cover and the title of this book makes you wonder what it entail and you guessed it right! It is a brilliant tale of love, lies, and survival all wrapped around together. Lord Geoffrey Fitzroy is the second son of Duke of Breconridge, and also a handsome bachelor and ladies' man. Lady Serena Carew, a mysterious young woman with an exotic beauty, grew up in India. When Geoffrey sees her at a ball, he can't resist dancing with her. He is captivated by Serena and how set apart she is from others. Even though their relationship is forbidden by her grandfather, they can't seem to resist the desire they share for each other. There are truths Serena is keeping from Geoffrey, secrets that could destroy their bond to each other. The story's climax is different from my typical experience in this genre and it's quite exciting. The dialogue appears very true to the era and I love how the dresses on the covers for Bradford's books are always featured in the story, adding an authenticity that is rare these days. I have to say the romance is steamy and sensual and has incredible tension. I am absolutely loving this writer and the series. *JK*
