Secrets of the Knight Review




Reviewer: Deniz

"Several years ago life forced Thomas (Bo) Bowden to give up everything, including the woman he loves, and take refuge on a Caribbean island. Little did he know, he was taking the first step to fulfilling his mystical destiny.

Nicole Balian has come to the small island of Trenado to find a missing teenager. She's shocked to the core to find her former lover instead. And the attraction between her and Bo is as strong as ever.

Working together to solve the unexplained disappearances plaguing the island, they find themselves in a frightening world of voodoo and magic. Trenado's history is shrouded in supernatural mystery. The danger they face serves to reignite their love. But as Bo fights an ancient evil that haunts the island, will Nicole be able to save the man she loves? Or will she lose him once again, this time forever?"


A breathless adventure in a steamy island setting. Two long lost lovers, reunited - what could go wrong?

Singer's story is full of tension, and the reader is kept in suspense over Bo's past choices and current secrets. Though the intensity lags a bit during some of Nicole's lengthier interludes of internal debate, once she sets out on her investigations, the reader is firmly in her corner, especially after discovering what really happened between her and Bo all those years ago.

One aspect of their relationship that disturbed me was Nicole's admission that she hadn't been with any other men since Bo left - yet Bo has had a number of island flings. I'd have liked the heroine to at least have made some effort to move on. Even though, of course, I was rooting for her and Bo to come together the entire time. You can tell they're made for each other; he doesn't even care about the changes and mysteries in his life until Nicole arrives on the island and starts asking questions.

If you haven't picked up your beach reads for this summer yet, start with this one!


Lady of the Drake Review




Reviewer:  JoAnn

Lana is a healer and midwife in Eddleton, a small village near the Ashen Forest, which is supposedly defended by dragons. A plague is killing people throughout the entire kingdom and Lana has discovered a plant that could be the difference between life and death. While hunting for dragon bane she meets a handsome stranger – and the attraction is mutual. Alaron shows her an herbal concoction that will cure the plague but she cannot tell anyone about her or where she learned about the medicine. Several secretive and passionate meetings later, she decides it’s time to be Alaron’s mate and leave her former life behind.
This is a seriously steamy book. There are couplings of twosomes, threesomes, foursomes, voyeurism, a little bondage, and even a little dragon sex. The intimate acts were described quite nicely and yet I would have enjoyed the book without them. The storyline was terrific and would have be successful without the erotica.
I love happy endings and I was not disappointed with the way this book ended. I would love to read more about Lana and Alaron’s adventures.





The Night Lamp Review


Reviewer:  Deniz


“Military confidant Cole McKnight will do anything to reclaim his home, even run bounties for an unprincipled bondsman. When Isa Foster becomes his latest assignment, Cole jeopardizes more than his property to bring her in.
Isa Foster has a bounty on her head and a dead friend at her feet. Accused of the murder, she must rely on her espionage training and wits to clear her name. Cole McKnight is one distraction she can’t afford.
With George Washington's impending inauguration and the birth of a nation hanging in the balance, Isa and Cole must work together to uncover the truth behind the murder. While Cole fights for his family home, and Isa for her very survival, their biggest battle may be fighting their attraction for each other.”

If you don’t count Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, I’ve read very few stories set in the time of the Revolutionary War. I think this was my first Revolutionary War romance! I can think of no better introduction to the era than Cole and Isa’s adventures. Though the politics were slightly confusing, speaking as a Canadian who’s studied European history more than American, the hero and heroine spring to life from the first page.

I loved the ongoing sparring between Cole and Isa – from the verbal battles (“should I anticipate sore ribs every time I meet up with you?”) to their foot fights under the dinner table. Spradling does very well when writing those scenes where the couple almost kiss, almost admit their feelings for each other, but then are interrupted or stop short of revealing the depths of their emotions. If it wasn’t a romance, I’d hope to see more of Cole and Isa!

A titbit! This book has a connection to another wonderful romance author – Kristen Callihan, whose debut, Firelight, was published in February. Callihan and Spradling are both members of the Compuserve Books and Writers Community, and the town of Callihan in The Night Lamp is named after Kristen!

Captain Jessa Tok is a veteran soldier, but when an artillery strike separates her from the squad she commands, it may be the end of her career and her life. Then a single Dawn Soldier fights his way behind enemy lines to find her. The last man she’d expect. The one soldier she’d had a fling with and was trying to forget.

Sergeant Ryder Hiltop never thought of himself as a hero. He’s a career soldier, just trying not to get killed. But when his captain is lost during an attack, he has to go find her. And not just for the sake of the other Dawn Soldiers. A shore leave with Jessa left an indelible mark on him, and he’ll do anything to make sure she’s safe. But is it a suicide mission to find her? And if they manage to fight their way to safety, can their brief affair grow into something more?

Description:  

Can love prevail over the dark magic of a woman scorned?

The last time Latharn MacKay walked among his kinsman was in Scotland of 1410. Sensuous and charismatic, all the women wanted him, but none could capture his heart. Latharn's charm became his curse when a dark sorceress didn’t take rejection well. She snared his soul into a crystal globe until the one woman destined to be his love whispered his release. Now all Latharn has to do is find her and guide her to him without speaking a word.

One of the youngest archeologists in St Louis of 2010, Nessa credits one thing for this achievement: the recurring dream of a heart-stopping Highlander since the summer she turned eighteen years old. Little does she know, he's not some fantasy cooked up by her subconscious. He’s a trapped soul determined for Nessa to end his six centuries in hell.

Introducing Ashlynne Laynne, The Progeny Blog Tour

We're happy to take a moment to welcome Ashlynne Laynne to The One Hundred Romances Project as she shares the details on her paranormal romance, The Progeny. Read on for blurb, excerpt and details on where you can find Ms. Laynne online, and how you can get your hands on a copy of The Progeny. Thanks for stopping by, Ashlynne!


 


The Progeny
By Ashlynne Laynne
 
 


“No fate other than the one I choose.” The timeless creed, and tattoo, bore by the Rousseau’s— a vampire clan with the purest bloodline of any vampire family. Out of this clandestine group came one who was different, yet the same: Ascher - a half-bloodling— half- human, half vampire. Ascher questions the purpose for his existence and which world he truly belongs to: the human world or the vampire world. Two months from sealing to Ursula— a prearranged union to a woman he abhors — he’s at his wit’s end. He knows if he calls off the sealing, the Romanian clan will strike with deadly force, but he cannot see eternity with a cold empty shell of a woman like Ursula. Just when he thought life was complicated enough, he meets Shauna— a beautiful, bi-racial human Wiccan — and immediately develops an unshakable attraction to her. She makes him feel alive and vital despite his origins and Ascher makes a decision that turns his immortal world upside down.

There are things Patrick Boyle will never forget: the sound of his own neck breaking at the moment of his death in the fall of 1970, the sweet taste of his mother's chocolate cake, and the awful day his parents abandoned him in his childhood house-turned prison.

Nineteen-year-old Patrick wonders for decades if God has forgotten all about him or if he's being punished for some terrible crime or sin over a lovely forty years trapped in an empty home. But when Sara Oswald, a strange woman with a mysterious past, buys his house, old feelings reawaken, and a new optimism convinces him that she's the answer to his prayers.


Things are never simple, though, especially when she begins channeling the memories of his life and death in her writing.

At eighteen, Rourke Flannigan and Kate Redmond thought they’d spend the rest of their lives together, until a family tragedy tore them apart.

Once a year, on the anniversary of the first and only time they made love, Rourke permits himself to read the annual investigative report detailing an ordinary day in Kate’s life.

When a subcontractor at one of his holding companies is killed, Rourke decides to pay the widow a visit and offer condolences, never dreaming the widow will be Kate.

But Teresa isn't the only one with a secret identity and a past they'd rather not remember. Damien knows exactly who and what she is because he'd hunted demons before and old habits die hard.

What's a Nephilim bounty hunter to do when one white-hot little devil walks into his bar and turns his quiet life upside down? She's a complication he could do without. She's also irresistible.

So she wants to cause him trouble? That's nothing compared to what he can do to her.

Now she’s back, and it’s high time she choose.

Some women have all the luck. Celeste just isn't one of them. All the luck she seems to have is the bad kind. How else can you explain ending up on a ship with the two men she's tried to forget for the last five years? Even worse, not a thing has changed. She still loves them both. Leaving them behind only postponed the decision she knows she has to make, and they aren’t helping any. In fact, they’re both doing everything they can to convince her to choose them.

Sarah-Jane Quinn has many secret dreams: to own the bed-and-breakfast inn where she stayed as a child; to finally capture the elusive Coleridge “Collie” Tate, on whom she has an enormous crush; and most importantly, to be someone’s top priority for once in her life.

But Collie is a single father with a potential custody battle on his hands, and Sarah ranks roughly Number 917 on his list of concerns. So when Gus Haldemann, the sophisticated director of Human Resources, shows an interest in her, she finds it not only flattering (and mystifying), but tempting and irresistible.

And then Sarah is brutally attacked by a violent stalker. In the aftermath, she must re-evaluate her priorities and decide which man reaches deepest into her heart – and let the other go forever.
