Yours_To_KeepThis contemporary romance is filled with charm, wit, sophistication, and is anything but predictable.  The story flows from one point to the next, making what would typically be an unbelievable situation very realistic.  The author includes a cast of characters from the Kowalski side who were introduced in the first two books of the series Exclusively Yours and Undeniably Yours . The reader is quickly brought up to speed on who is who and given insight into this genuinely endearing family with personalities that are so finely crafted you’ve soon got three dimensional characters dancing off the page entertaining you with what I like to call a ‘”romantic comedy movie in your mind” READ MORE AT H2H BLOG.

Nightfall_Ellen_ConnorTwo authors.  One book. Nightfall is written under the name Ellen Connor, but Ellen Connor is really two authors, Ann Aguirre and Carrie Lofty, and the seamlessness of their writing amazed me. Together, these two authors make one hell of a writing team and have created a new series that from page one had me excited to read more. Together they have created a dark world where hope can still exist. READ MORE AT HEART 2 HEART.

Breaking pointI found that love and lust are not only illuminated but heightened when you think you’re about to die – or even when you’ve had a close call with death. So whether it’s 1812 or 2011, being bound, bleeding and beaten seems to be an aphrodisiac, or at the very least a catalyst for the beginnings of love. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, there’s nothing like love on the run. READ FULL REVIEW AT B&N

Dragon_BoundReading this book was like living in the land of perpetual Fourth of July where the fireworks are not only beautiful and bright, but exciting and surprising.  Dragon Bound is the first book of Ms. Harrison’s new paranormal/urban fantasy series the Elder Races, and it grabbed my imagination and my emotions for an exciting ride into a world where creativity rules, characters amaze and storytelling has an imaginative command on both.   READ FULL REVIEW AT B&N’S HEART TO HEART BLOG.
