Bound Temptations

Bound Temptations by Shiloh Walker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book contains 2 short stories. First Tempt Me with Rocki and Cole and then Beg Me with Tania and Drake. Both women lost their husbands and found love again in unexpected places.

Rocki's husband died in the line of duty, and she has been struggling to move on with her life. In walks Cole with his fiance, but from the first moment these two meet sparks fly. They have to deal with a few problems, but in the end they find their way.

Tania loses her husband and then is later brutally attacked. She turns to Drake to help get her life back. They have to deal with a problem no one would have ever suspected, but they find love along the way.

If you have ever read Shiloh's books you know how steamy they can be and this was no exception. It is very hot without being forced. Loved it.

Goddess in the Middle

Goddess in the Middle by Stephanie Julian
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have said it once and I will say it again I love Stephanie Julian's work. The only reason that this book didn't get 5 out of 5 is because it didn't have as much action outside the bedroom that How to Worship a Goddess had in it. That being said it still knocked my socks off.

I have been thinking of Amity as being the most innocent one of all the Forgotten Goddesses,but after this I will have to amend that just a little. In a lot of ways she is but when it comes to the bedroom antics she is just like you would expect someone to be after living for so long, no hangups about who she is in or out of the bedroom.

I loved the fact that the "most innocent" goddess is the one who fell in love with 2 men. I also love that Stephanie ends the book with enough info to leave the reader satisfied and at the same time anticipating what's to come.

This is one of the most satisfying short stories I have had the pleasure of reading. I actually found myself invested in these characters from the moment they met and hoping all along for a happy ending for them.

Seducing the Heiress

Seducing the Heiress by Olivia Drake
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really liked this book. Portia has got to be one of my favorite heroines to date. She was head strong and no one could stop her from doing what she wanted to do. Along comes Colin to put a damper in all of her plans and steal her heart in the process. I am already looking forward to reading the next book in this series and can't wait for Lindsey's story.

Anyway, I couldn't stand Edith Crompton or Lady Ratcliffe. I guess it was a sign of their time, because they were some very selfish women. I understand Mrs. Crompton wanting her daughter to marry well, but she really wasn't concerned at all about what was in Portia's best interest, just in her own. I can't wait to see how Lindsey and Blythe handle her when their times come. As for Lady Ratcliffe, well you will just have to read the story and then you will understand what I mean.

Against the Sun

Against the Sun by Kat Martin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jake Cantrell is definitely my type of man. I love big strong alpha's and he fits that description all the way.
I am a self professed romance-aholic. I love my romance hot and steamy and it doesn't hurt to have a little bit of intrigue.

That being said, this book had all of the above. Jake and Sage were hot from their very first meeting and they hadn't even gotten to the sex. They have the kind of chemistry that just leaps off the pages at you. We owe that to Kat Martin's wonderful writing.

This is a romantic suspense and I am glad to say that for the first time in a long time, I had a hard time pinpointing the culprits in this story. As soon as I thought I knew what was really going on, I was thrown for a loop. This story was definitely multifaceted. There was a lot going on, but it was all seamlessly put together.

I didn't realize that this was a book in a series, because it read so well as a standalone. I will be going back to the beginning though to get the previous story and I will be impatiently waiting for the next.
