Logan’s Lady by Rosanne Bittner

Posted March 28, 2019 by Marsha in This one's a Keeper / 0 Comments

Two worlds in conflict
Two hearts intertwined
One love worth fighting for

Wealthy Englishwoman Lady Elizabeth Baylor longs for adventure. She leaves for America full of hope, only to lose everything to a villain hiding treachery behind his smile. Lost in this strange and lawless land, Elizabeth vows to track down the man who did her wrong…but she can’t do it alone. What she needs is someone hardened by the west and unflinching toward its dangers: notorious bounty hunter Logan Best.

Ill-mannered and seemingly ruthless, Logan exorcizes his dark past by throwing himself into his vengeful profession—hunting wanted men. There’s nothing about the pampered Englishwoman that should call to him, and yet as their adventure takes them across the wild and treacherous west, he realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe…and defend his Lady to his final breath.

Pretty in Ink by Ava Blackstone

Posted March 14, 2019 by Marsha in This one's a Keeper / 0 Comments

Never close your eyes while you’re getting a tattoo—even if you have a pathological fear of needles. 

All Liv Voretti wanted was a small, tasteful butterfly tattoo. What she got was her (now ex-) boyfriend’s name—the worst goodbye present in the history of the universe. With the tattoo about to be revealed thanks to a strapless bridesmaid dress, Liv comes up with a desperate plan to keep her judgmental parents from pulling their loan for her clothing design business. Convince the stable, responsible, incredibly hot family friend—who happens to have the same name as her ex—to pretend to be her boyfriend. 

Even with your eyes open, sometimes it’s hard to see what’s right in front of you. 

The Vorettis are the closest thing to family Caleb has, and he’s not about to risk that relationship for a fling with Liv. She’d be bored with his predictable, color-inside-the-lines lifestyle inside a week. They’re just not compatible, even if she is the last person he thinks about before he falls asleep. 

But when Liv comes to him for help, he can’t say no—not when he’s the reason she ended up with her jerk of an ex in the first place. But as their pretend relationship becomes all too real, Caleb must decide whether he’s going to stick to the plan, or take a chance on a woman who isn’t the person he’s looking for, but might be exactly who he needs. 

Titles in the Voretti Family series include — Marriage: Impossible – Pretty in Ink – Love and Learn

LUCK Be A Lady by Frank Sinatra

Posted March 4, 2019 by Marsha in This one's a Keeper / 0 Comments

Music feeds my soul, much like a really good story does – so I added my own spin to Anna’s challenge over at Herding Cats & Burning Soup… I say it all with music.  Old, New, Rock, Country… it doesn’t matter, only that I tap my toes and maybe sing along.  How about you:?

Three Little Words by Jenny Holiday

Posted January 30, 2019 by Marsha in This one's a Keeper / 0 Comments

Gia Gallo is officially in bridesmaid hell. Stranded in New York with her best friend’s wedding dress, Gia has six days to make it to Florida in time for the ceremony. And oh-so-charming best man Bennett Buchanan has taken the last available rental car. Looks like she’s in for one long road trip with the sexiest – and most irritating – Southern gentleman she’s ever met…

Bennett’s pretty sure that if there was ever a woman to break his “no flings” rule, Gia would be it. Sure, she’s stubborn. She’s also funny, smart, and the attraction between them is getting hotter with every state line they cross. While Bennett doesn’t do casual, Gia doesn’t do “relationships.” But if they break the rules, this unlikely pair might discover that their impromptu road trip could turn out to be the best ride of their lives. 

Titles in the Bridesmaids Behaving Badly series include:  Once Upon A Bride (#0.5) – One and Only – It Takes Two – Merrily Ever After (#2.5) – Three Little Words

FIRST Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Posted January 4, 2019 by Marsha in This one's a Keeper / 0 Comments

I’m doing a slightly different approach to the Blog About It Challenge over at Anna’s Herding Cats & Burning Soup.  The challenge is to make a monthly post about that month’s prompt… review, story, recipe, etc.  I decided on music.  Music feeds my soul just as much as reading does, but in a different way.  So… my response to January’s prompt of – FIRST is:

Tiger’s Claim by Celia Kyle

Posted November 28, 2018 by Marsha in This one's a Keeper / 0 Comments

Jaguar shifter Stella Moore has one thing on her mind – to take down the anti-shifter organization that destroyed her family. Her plans are going perfectly until a sexy-as-sin stranger throws off her game and decides the only way they can both avoid getting caught is to claim her as his girlfriend. Wait! What? Now she has to fly to a tropical island and play along because the alternative is…deadly.

Most people know Cole Turner as an uber-wealthy playboy – not as a tiger shifter who’s part of a special ops team to protect his kind. Now his undercover mission has been compromised by a redheaded bombshell, and every animal instinct he has is screaming mate. To survive among so many enemies, they’ll have to keep up their romantic act, find their intel… and absolutely not fall in love along the way.

Titles in the Shifter Rogue series include:  Wolf’s Mate – Wolf’s Mate: Nine Month Mission (#1.5) – Tiger’s Claim –

Books Added to My Shelves This Week

So this week I discovered BookBub – well, I knew about it but this last weekend I went over to check it out, and guys, I am in so much financial troubles now! (giggles like a kid in a candy store).  I do love that so many authors will put their first book in a series up there (and other places) at no cost.  That lets me decide if I’m going to invest time and money in another series.  And let’s be real, I usually do.  But I have to be careful or my TBR is going to go from mountainous to a full mountain range.  Not even going to list those books ‘cos I went kinda crazy this first time.

I did pick up the newest Eve & Roarke in Leverage in Death

And RayAnne Thayne’s Season of Wonder

A Tall, Dark Cowboy Christmas by Maisey Yates

And, of course, Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, I sorta behaved myself this week – if you don’t count the no cost ones.  🙂  Picked up a couple titles from NetGalley – and, of course, my Kindle Unlimited replacements, but those are usually short novellas that don’t take much time at all to read.

I probably won’t get off so easy next week because I’m on the search for Halloween themed books.

Hope you found some amazing reads this week!

Kiss of the Fallen by Kharma Kelley

Tristan Castilion, a celebrated Commander of the Vampire Royal Guard, just wanted to be left alone. He wanted nothing to do with the war brewing among all the supernaturals and had grown tired of fighting all these centuries. All of them were screwed up anyway; but who was he to judge who drinks blood and who eats souls?  

Sucked into one last mission from his vampire government, Tristan soon finds himself in the middle of a dark conspiracy within the vampire ranks and a half-naked demon chained to his bed. 

And not just any old demon… 
Zoe is a Black Blood Slayer—legendary demons bred to do one thing: kill vampires. A true ruler of the night, she’s forced to keep her lethal wiles at bay in order to uncover the truth, creating an unlikely partnership with Tristan.

True Heart’s Desire by Caroline Fyffe

Since their father’s death summoned Lavinia Brinkman and her four sisters to Eden, Colorado, Lavinia has been content with her new life. Well, almost. Lavinia’s heart’s desire—creating the elaborate hats she loves—doesn’t belong in this small town. How can she choose between the life she has and the life she wants? Especially when she’s so utterly vexed by the handsome scoundrel who’s just arrived in Eden.

Rhett Laughlin intends to fulfill a dream and open a profitable restaurant in the growing town. Instead, he’s marched right into trouble with one of Eden’s most eligible bachelorettes. But as much as Lavinia Brinkman is making things difficult, Rhett can’t keep himself from thinking about her.

With every spirited encounter, the animosity between Rhett and Lavinia is starting to look a lot like attraction. And the town of Eden is about to discover what happens when these rivals find what truly lies in their hearts…
