It’s almost time for witches and goblins and things that go bump in the night to show up at our front doors with pillowcases, fancy bags and containers held high for Halloween goodies.

I don’t “celebrate” Halloween – but I certainly do enjoy the fun, silly and spooky parts of this whole month leading up to Trick or Treat night.

This year I’m giving myself – and hopefully, you – a month long Halloween reading treat.  Since I love Paranormal Romance novels it’s not unusual to find those types of book reviews here.  So, I went looking for fun, quirky, silly at times but alway entertaining Halloween stories.  I found a lot that I will be using my Kindle Unlimited plan on (the author still gets paid for my completing the story to the 100% mark) – as well as some that are on my own keeper bookshelves from years gone by.

So look for a daily dose of Halloween Romance from today until Halloween.  If you have any favorites that you always enjoy this time of the year, please let me know in the comments so I can check them out.  I always love finding new things to read.

For now,  Happy Fall and here’s to a Spooky, Safe Halloween… and reading tons of fun stories.

 

 

 

There are times when a novel comes along that invites you to sit back, relax and allow yourself to be transported to another time, another place.  Undone By His Kiss by Anabelle Bryant is such a novel.

Undone By His Kiss Story Description

A most delicious challenge…

Experience has taught Emily Shaw that men are best avoided, so she’s determined to take her place in society alone and unrestrained by marriage. Renting a room in the heart of London, she establishes a Women’s League to promote equality between the sexes and teach women to be independent.

Jasper St David isn’t looking for distractions, but he’s fascinated by beautiful, fiercely opinionated Emily when she moves into the office above his. And when he learns of her determination never to succumb to male charms, he can’t help but see it as a challenge! After all, Jasper’s always found nothing more tantalising than the thrill of the chase…

A Mini-Review

Emily and Jasper may each seek independence in their own ways, but it certainly has set off sparks and disagreements between them.  Sharing spaces in the same building will bring them into each other’s paths often, and with interesting results.  Jasper has never been a man to back down from a challenge.  Emily has never desired a man enough to change her mind about the confusing creatures.  Put these two stubborn, intelligent, independence seeking people together and you will have fireworks of the most splendid explosions.

I enjoyed Undone By His Kiss tremendously.  And I have to admit that I enjoyed the secondary characters almost as much as the main couple.  There is a mystery here, as well as eccentric relatives, strong friendships and a love that will work hard to get beyond issues and events of the past in order to bring Jasper and Emily together.  And our couple have enough sparks going on between them to set a pile of fireworks ablaze.  Emily will discover that not every action of a man is a bid to strip away her own thoughts or her independence.  Jasper will find that what once was a challenge became a need that will not end until the stubborn woman he loves is at his side for a lifetime.

This is the second novel in Ms Bryant’s series, Regency Charms.  I adored the first, Defying the Earl, and I have no doubts at all that I will love the next novel in this series.  It is always an enjoyable touch to encounter characters from previous novels in a series.  For me, it ups the believability of the entire series, as no couple exists in a vacuum.  And a hint of who the next couple will be is also a winning point for me.  A series is a continuation of an overall arch that needs to include all of the characters, in some small way, to make it a true connecting series – to me.  That is just one of the reasons that I follow Ms Bryant’s series.  I get exactly what I’m looking for.. a believable story, endearing characters, a touch of mystery and a very, very good story. What more can a reader ask for?

A Bit About Anabelle Bryant

Anabelle began reading at age three and never stopped. Her passion for reading soon turned into a passion for writing and an author was born. Happy to grab a suitcase if it ensures a new adventure, Anabelle finds endless inspiration in travel, especially imaginary jaunts into Regency England, a far cry from her home in New Jersey. Instead, her clever characters live out her daydreams because really, who wouldn’t want to dance with a handsome duke or kiss a wicked earl?

Though teaching keeps her grounded, photography, running and writing, counterbalance her wanderlust. Often found with her nose in a book, Anabelle earned her Master’s Degree and is completing her Doctorate Degree in education. Thrilled to be an author for Harlequin’s Carina line, Anabelle’s historical romances are character driven. She strives to provide a heartfelt connection between her hero, heroine, and the reader, believing the emotional journey on the path to true love is the most important bond. Clever secondary characters and lively conversation keep the pages turning.
