She’s finally found a place to stay…

For Lily St. Clare the charming small town of Crystal Lake is her haven – a place she can hide from her famous, back-stabbing family. It’s as close to happy as she’s ever been. Until an unforgettable night with tall, dark and tortured Mac Draper gives her a glimpse of what true happiness feels like.

Lily can’t help but melt a little under the sizzling heat of Mac’s touch. But Mac’s scars run deep, and Lily’s afraid she may be falling for the one man who can never return her feelings..

KELLY’S REVIEW:
4.25 HEARTS You know what they say about the bigger they are the harder they fall? Well things technically fall at the same rate of speed, but the bigger you are the bigger mess you are going to make when you hit. Poor poor Mackenzie is big and has build up so many walls that it is going to be a long scary way down for him. And boy does he make a mess of everything.

Lily never thought she was the forever type. But the moment she sees Mac again that thought goes right out the window. Oh, she fights it. But fate is a fickle bit…. well let’s just say that what Fate wants Fate gets.

I loved this book. I loved Mac & Lily. I loved that they both are so darn stubborn and almost ruin everything. I will say that I did cheer for Mac a little when he let his dad have it, although I think that his dad deserved more! If you have read any of the other Bad Boys of Crystal Lake you will know that Mac is the last of the three boys to get his story and it was well worth the wait.

I can’t wait to see what might be next 🙂

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4 HEARTS The funny this is that I requested all the books from this series and each time I held off starting it even though I don’t know why. I read all the books around it until I give up and start the book and with the other two books once I started I couldn’t stop reading it and this book was the same. Why I don’t start it right away I have no idea.

This book was a bit rough in some parts. Mac is so haunted by the horrible childhood he had that his anger is quick and strong but when he is sweet he is just so sweet that you can’t help but fall for him. He is so cute when he is with Lily. Lily is strong and while dealing with her own stuff she is the type of woman you want to be friends with.

I do wish we had learned a little more about her past since we were told a number of times how she had a hard (albeit different from Mac) childhood but we didn’t get to hear too much about it. I hope this is not the last we see if Crystal Lake even though the Bad Boys are all settled down.

Kelly reviews Rising Assets by Rebecca Zanetti

TITLE: Rising Assets
SERIES #: Maverick Montana #3
CHARACTERS: Colton Freeze & Melanie Jacobs
AUTHOR: Rebecca Zanetti
PUBLICATION DATE: March 31, 2014
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Friends with benefits was never the plan…

Melanie Jacobs is in trouble. With three jobs—including running her ranch—and dwindling funds, she’s exhausted. Not to mention desperately trying to hide a secret. Unfortunately, her best friend Colton Freeze knows all too well that’s something is going on, and he won’t give up until he knows exactly what he needs to fix.

Then Colton learns the truth—that Melanie’s future happiness rests in the fickle hands of fate, and her chances for having a family are shrinking with every passing day. Her only comfort is Colton, but when a heated argument between them turns into an even hotter kiss, the boundaries of their friendship are erased, leaving only a scorching-hot hunger for more.

Every kiss—every touch—is a stolen pleasure. But will their new friends-with-sexy-benefits arrangement bring them closer together, or destroy everything they once shared?

REVIEW:
It was so much fun to read about Colton and Melanie. Childhood best friends who decided to give their growing attraction a chance. But as with any good love story there is a bump or two in the road. Well for these two they are the bumps and the sure don’t make it easy on each other. But would we want it any other way?
These two are great but the side story of Hawk had me crying, laughing and wishing I was there for the great escape. This was another great read by Rebecca Zanetti. And I am so very much looking forward to learn all of Hawk’s deep dark secrets 🙂

Kelly review Cole’s Redemption by J.D. Tyler

TITLE: Cole’s Redemption
SERIES #: Alpha Pack #5
CHARACTERS: Zander Cole & Selene Westfall
AUTHOR: J.D. Tyler
NARRATOR: Kristen Potter
PUBLICATION DATE: March 4, 2014
AUDIO RELEASE DATE: March 4, 2014
RUN TIME: 7 hours & 32 minutes
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N | Audible | Tantor

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Once, they were Navy SEALS. Now they are the Alpha Pack: a top secret team of wolf shifters with Psy powers who take on the darkest dangers on Earth. But sometimes the greatest danger lies within their own hearts….

Healer and black wolf shifter Zander Cole has survived horrors that would have broken a weaker man. But when a battle leaves him deaf and his powers dimmed, Zan is devastated. Believing himself to be a burden to his team, he sees only one option: leave the Pack forever.

White wolf shifter Selene Westfall knows pain—she is certain her father was responsible for her mother’s death. And she lives to exact revenge. So when she is challenged by a savage black wolf, she puts up a vicious fight—only to become the black wolf’s Bondmate as a result of his bite.

Two damaged souls—one filled with hatred and one who’s lost his reason for living—are forced together as they come to terms with their unlikely, turbulent bond. A love neither expected may be all that stands between them and a killer trying desperately to keep the past dead and buried.

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Warning: You will need a tissue or 20 for this book. I have not cried this hard in a book for such a long time. Now that I have warned you on to the review.

In Cole’s redemption we pick up where we left off in Hunter’s Heart. Zander is still recovering from his injuries and is debating his worth to the pack. On his first mission since he was injured and almost getting one of his brothers killed has sealed the deal for Zan. When he finally makes up mind to leave, Zan finds himself fighting for his leaders life. But in the process to protecting Nick, Zan find himself a mate.

This was a good story full of a lot of emotion, demon’s from the past and future that we could have never seen coming. There were a few surprises in this book that I was not ready for (hence the crying). The team gets a new member. And Nick poor, poor Nick.

I think my only issue with this book was the whole the half shift thing. Kinda creeps me out a little bit.

I had the honor listened this book. While I have loved Kristin Potter’s work in the past there was just something off on the reading of this book. Not by much but a little. But something that made it take a little longer for me to get into the book.

REVIEW:
Why I request these box sets I really do not know. When you have so many stories the average person will love some and hate others and that is what happened with this box set, of course. Just about the time I liked a story the next one was just ok for me. And of course there were the ones I didn’t like at all. It would be a nice set to have for when you need a quick story to read but reading them back to back just didn’t do it for me.

Rebecca Zanetti’s Maverick Montana Series

Against the Wall

Maverick Montana #1

Never challenge a cowboy in the courtroom…

Surveying the proposed site for a high-end golf course should have been a breeze for spunky Landscape Architect Sophie Smith. But when this born-and-bred city girl is suddenly—and quite literally—swept off her feet by a sexy cowboy on horseback, she realizes that the country life has some serious (and seriously steamy!) possibilities. That is, until she finds out exactly who her smokin’-hot wrangler really is.

Cowboy and Tribal lawyer Jake Lodge is desperately trying to block the development. And if that means playing hardball—and being every inch the shark lawyer—so be it. But Sophie is a distraction he didn’t expect. A distraction that makes his blood burn.

Two different worlds. Two opposing sides. And when they finally give into the exquisite temptation, the consequences will shake the foundations of both of their lives

*****

Under the Covers

Maverick Montana #2

Opposites don’t attract. They ignite.

The small Montana town near the Kooskia reserve seemed like the perfect place for Juliet Montgomery to hide from her not-so-law-abiding family. But when her peace is shattered by a break-in and threatening phone calls, it’s clear someone back in New York knows where she is. It’s time to plan her getaway, and fast—but first, she needs to tie up a few loose ends. Namely, finding out exactly what the town’s sexy cowboy sheriff is hiding in his holster…

Sheriff Quinn Lodge has enough demons of his own to know when someone’s hiding something. Clearly, he needs to do a thorough investigation to uncover what’s beneath Juliet’s uptight, city-girl exterior—preferably one piece of clothing at a time. But when their chemistry goes from fizzy to full-on explosive, things start getting complicated. How can Juliet stay beneath the covers with Quinn, when doing so means blowing her cover?

Friends with benefits was never the plan…

Every kiss—every touch—is a stolen pleasure. But will their new friends-with-sexy-benefits arrangement bring them closer together, or destroy everything they once shared?

Kimberly reviews Playing To Win by Shelley Munro

TITLE: Playing To Win
CHARACTERS: Kate & Lane
AUTHOR: Shelley Munro
PUBLICATION DATE: 03/28/14
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Professional rugby player Lane Gerrard is used to women throwing themselves at him, but a scurrilous tabloid article naming him as father of a child sends his temper soaring. The woman he confronts doesn’t fit the blackmailer profile. Kate Alexander is attractive with an enchanting innocence, enticing. A total stranger. Her feistiness draws his unwilling admiration, but the child…he is the image of Lane.Kate can’t deny her son’s similarity to the sexy man at her door but no way will she hand him over without a fight. Kate doesn’t possess money but she can shower her son with love. With public speculation rife, Kate reluctantly works with Lane to discover the truth. They grow closer as distrust slowly turns to mutual fascination, but the tabloid articles bring out a stalker. Mild pranks escalate into danger, and suddenly Lane realizes Kate is a woman he could love. With Kate and her son, he could have a family. Now, with his heart on the line, this is one game he’s playing to win.

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts I liked this story. It lets you know that sometimes things happen for a reason. As I got ready to write the review I see that it is a reprint which now makes sense. Some things in the story seemed dated but I wasn’t sure why. Now I know.

This is a typical sweet romance. It has a man who isn’t looking for love, a woman who thinks her life is complete, a boy who has been through enough already and a little bit of suspense. It is a relatively quick read. It is well written even though slightly dated but still enjoyable.

TITLE: Love In The Shadows
CHARACTERS: Jenny & Nick
AUTHOR: Barbara Wallace
PUBLICATION DATE: 03/28/14
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Can a feisty four-legged matchmaker help four best friends find the romance of their dreams?

Jenny is a woman on a mission – she’ll even resort to dognapping to make her point! But can she teach a reclusive, emotionally-wounded tycoon that love heals all things?

REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts This is the fourth is the “series” of short stories, each story is only about 60 pages long. I am not sure if it is really a series since each book is from a different author but it does involve the same people and the same dog. This is the best of the series. I enjoyed the couple very much. Their feelings are palpable from the pages. The hurt and insecurity. The story is sweet and completes the series very well.

Each book from this series is great to have on the e-reader for a quick read between books.

Interview & Giveaway with Jane Ashford

Books-n-Kisses is pleased to welcome back Jane Ashford to the blog.

Jane, can you please share with us a little about yourself?

Jane: When I take those “what’s your ideal job” quizzes on Facebook, I get “writer.” Maybe it’s destiny. I’m an avid reader, too. A bit of an introvert. I like hiking in the wilderness. And cake. : )

Have you always wanted to be an author?

Jane: Yes. I’ve told and written stories for as long as I can remember.

What is your most interesting writing quirk?

Jane: I don’t know if it’s interesting, but I often do an idea dump in contemporary language as I’m writing my historicals. For example, [hero] mouths off and acts like a total jerk until [heroine] tells him he can stuff it. Then I go back to expand and “historicize” it.

Can you please tell us about your latest book(s)?

Jane: The Bride Insists is a marriage of convenience story, about two people who have been deeply scarred by financial travails. They soon find passion, but must struggle toward understanding, and love.

How did you come with the idea for this story?

Jane: It came from that Regency slang phrase “the Marriage Mart.” I thought, what if a woman actually set out to “buy” a husband? How would that happen? And how would it play out?

Can you share with us your current work(s) in progress?

Jane: I’m working on a new Regency historical for Sourcebooks called Married to a Proper Stranger. It’s about a couple married less than a month when the husband is sent off to China with Lord Amherst’s diplomatic mission. Almost two years later, he’s back – a changed man. His wife is equally altered by her experiences at home. So what’s to be done when you find yourself married to an intriguing, infuriating stranger?

Who is the one author that you would love to meet someday and why?

Jane: I’d like to tell Laurie King how much I love and admire Folly.

What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone who wants to get into writing?

Jane: Be sure you like solitude and can motivate yourself to get the work done. And never give up.

Can you share with us something off your bucket list.

Jane: I’d like to visit Bali. It sounds like a culture so permeated by art.

What is in your To Read Pile that you are dying to start or upcoming release you can’t wait for?

Jane: I read all kinds of things. One book I’m eagerly anticipating Skin Game by Jim Butcher. I love Harry Dresden. Anyone see the TV series?

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Jane: Thanks so much for having me!

IN STORES MARCH 2014

She Thinks She’s Bought a Compliant Husband

Although Clare Greenough has inherited an unexpected fortune, her money is in the hands of a trustee until she marries—everyone knows a woman is incapable of managing funds. What she needs is an easygoing husband, right away…

They’re Both in for a Shock

She makes a deal with impetuous young James Boleigh, seventh Baron Trehearth: they will marry, Clare will get control of her money, and Jamie will get the funds he desperately needs to restore his lands. To stave off ruin, Jamie agrees, believing Clare will soon become a proper, submissive wife. But to expect a serene, passionless marriage was only their first mistake…

Praise for The Bride Insists

“Perfectly delightful Regency romance… Remarkably executed.” —Publishers Weekly

“Ashford captures the reader’s interest with her keen knowledge of the era and her deft writing. … a charming plot and just the right amount of sensuality.” —RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

“…a marvelously engaging marriage of convenience tale, and Ashford’s richly nuanced,

realistically complex characters and impeccably crafted historical setting are bound to

resonate with fans of Mary Balogh.” – Booklist

TITLE: Dark Moon
SERIES #: Witch-Were #1
CHARACTERS: Skye & Jason
AUTHOR: Leisl Leighton
PUBLICATION DATE: 03/17/14
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N {link not up yet}

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Lately, Skye Collins has been unable to shake the feeling that she’s being watched. After a lifetime spent hiding her true nature, she knows that any unusual attention is something to be wary of. And the only attention she’s been receiving lately is from the intense and attractive Jason McVale.
Jason claims to know things about Skye that can’t be true, and it’s obvious he’s hiding secrets of his own. Yet despite herself, Skye can’t resist the attraction between them, and her surrender will set in motion a chain of events that will have consequences for everyone she holds dear.
Gradually, Jason convinces Skye that she has to trust him if she is to solve the riddle of her past and learn the truth about her power. But believing Jason means that her entire life has been based on a lie.
As her enemies gather strength and the danger increases, Skye is forced to accept who she really is. Will she risk everything and fight for those she loves? Or save herself and let them be destroyed by the forces of darkness?

REVIEW:
I have to say I really enjoyed this story. I was not sure what it was really about when I picked it up from NetGalley but I am so glad I did. There are witches, wiccan, wolf shifters, ghosts, and so much more in this story. I didn’t want to miss one word of it even though some parts did get a little wordy I still could not wait to read the story.

The main characters are very entertaining and interesting. They have a connection from the moment they are together. I enjoyed the background characters as well. Maybe the next in the series is Adam and Shelley? One can only hope.

If you are a fan of paranormal then you should really pick up this book. It has everything a fan of the genre would like and a bunch of suspense as well. Terrific story and one I can’t wait to read the next one of.
