Now that the kids are headed back to school and the weather is starting to get a bit cooler, I'm hoping to find a bit more time to read for pleasure. These are a few of the books I'm looking at reading...stay tuned because in a few weeks I'm going to be giving away a paperback copy of Candis Terry's SOMETHING SWEETER.
Publisher's blurb:
To ruin a man’s life once takes a regrettable mistake.
To do so twice takes a woman like Julianne Baxter.
Eleven months ago,
Julianne’s statement to the authorities wrongly implicated Patrick, the
new Earl of Haversham, in his older brother’s death. The chit is as much
trouble as her red hair suggests, and just as captivating. Now she has
impetuously tracked him to the wilds of Scotland, insisting that he
return home to face a murder charge and save his family from ruin. A
clandestine wedding may be the only way to save her reputation—and his
neck from the hangman’s noose.
Julianne has no objection to
the match. More and more she’s convinced of Patrick’s innocence, though
when it comes to igniting her passions, the man is all too guilty. And
if they can only clear his name, a marriage made in haste could bring
about the most extraordinary pleasure…
Publisher's Blurb:
The men in Texas are hard to resist . . .
Seattle event planner Allison Lane is an expert at delivering the
perfect wedding—even if she might not exactly believe in the whole “’til
death do us part” thing. When her father decides to tie the knot with a
woman he barely knows, Allison heads to Sweet, Texas, to make sure his
new honey is the real deal. What she didn’t expect to find at the local
honky-tonk was a sexy Southern man as bent on charming her pants off as
he is on blowing her “true love doesn’t exist” theory all to hell.
And they always promise . . .
Veterinarian, former Marine, and Sweet’s favorite playboy Jesse
Wilder takes one look at Allison and knows she’s a handful of trouble he
can’t deny. But even after a sizzling kiss and obvious mutual
attraction, it seems Allison has no such problem. When Jesse uncovers
her sweet side, can he crush his playboy image, melt her cynical heart,
and change her mind about taking a trip down the aisle?
Publisher's Blurb:
The last woman on earth he would ever touch . . .
Declan, the Duke of Banbury, has no interest in ushering Rosalie
Hughes, his stepsister, into society.Dumped on him with nowhere else to
go, he's determined to rid himself of the headstrong debutante by
bestowing on her an obscenely large dowry . . . making her the most
sought-after heiress of the Season.
. . . is about to become the only one he wants
But Rosalie isn't about to go along with Declan's plans. Surrounded
by fortune hunters, how is she supposed to find a man who truly wants
her? Taking control of her fate, Rosalie dons a disguise and sneaks into
Sodom, a private club host to all manner of illicit activity—and
frequented by her infuriatingly handsome stepbrother.
In a shadowed alcove, Declan can't resist the masked temptress who
sets his blood afire . . . any more than Rosalie can deny her longing
for a man who will send her into ruin.
