Breaching The Billionaire: Althea's Redemption by Ruth Cardello

Alethea is at a crossroad. For as long as she could remember, it was her and her best friend, Lil, against the world. Now that Lil has met Prince "I have my own helicopter" Charming and reconnected with her family, Alethea is on the outside looking in, justifying who she's always been to people who have never understood her. When she uncovers a looming threat to Lil's family, she's determined to save them, even after they tell her not to get involved and assign their best man to stop her. 
Marc Stone has been watching Alethea ever since she waltzed through his security system and right into his late night fantasies. As a decorated Marine, he's seen war, but nothing could prepare him for this wild redhead. Strong. Beautiful. Flawed, and fiercely protective. Hard to love, and impossible to deny. 
If she'll stop fighting him long enough, he'll show her just how perfect they are for each other. That is, if she doesn't get them both killed first.

5 stars

First off let me just say that Ruth Cardello has gone above and beyond my expectations for this book. As a fan of the Legacy Collection I have enjoyed each book in this series yet I'd have to say Breaching the Billionaire has been my all time favorite. Alethea, headstong and protective to a fault has not had the easiest time being understood by her best friend Lil's family and is determined to spend her life alone and always on guard looking danger and security breaches everywhere she goes, to the dismay of those she cares about. However can one man change that? Marc Stone ex soldier and  head of security for Corsisi Enterprises sees her in a new light and is determined to help her with her relationship with Lil and her family. He is also headstrong and respects Alethea and is going to do everything he can to help her stay out of trouble and get her to learn to trust. Can these two find common ground while trying to protect the Corisi family from a dangerous threat and will Aletha find herself learning to trust and let go of control for once on her life? If you like a story with action, drama, and romance then this is definitely a book you will enjoy!

Power of Attraction (Blackstone Haven 1) by Taige Crenshaw


A man will come to you in the darkest moon. The trees will shade and protect your union of the soul. Before the final step to merge your body is taken, a choice must be made.

Peyton Blackstone, a natural born witch, knew from the prophecy that accompanied her birth that a man would come to her. Yet, when the man who is set to be her’s arrives, Peyton isn’t ready for him or the ramifications his coming will cause. This man who deals with reality has a few secrets of his own - secrets that could very well destroy them both.

Wesley McCarty believes the woman he meets under the moonlight is not real. Suffering from unexplained blackouts, he believes he is losing his mind. When he sees her again, he realises not only is his fantasy woman real, but she is within his reach. He must have her, no matter the cost. Nothing will stop him. Not his blackouts, or any legacies or prophecies. He will have this woman who sets his blood on fire and completes his soul.

Legacies, destiny, and prophecy can not withstand this power of attraction.

My rating = 5 stars


Open your senses and embrace - Blackstone Haven.  

WOW!  Talk about your Power of Attraction!  He was a sexual master who had her at his mercy.  “You’re a dangerous man to my senses, Wesley”  Even though this story started off in an odd way, I was fully pulled in!  I LOVE the creativity and almost what you could call bizarreness to the first half or so, but then once the fog starts lifting, WOW! Just WOW!!  And yes, even though it was a touch crazy in the beginning and I was feeling a little lost, the story was very intriguing and made me want to keep reading to find out what was going on!  I actually went back to read the beginning chapter+ and it gave me a whole new perspective to, of and for the story.  I did find that some questions were left unanswered, the odd part or two that was never really addressed.  However I have a feeling that future books will expand, enhance and build on this one while also pulling us deeper into all that is The Blackstone Legend & Prophecy.  I definitely want to know all there is to know about it and see it further explored.  This is only my second book of Taige's but I am thoroughly enjoying her different writing styles between the two series I have read books in, and the books themselves and am looking forward to reading my way through them all!  This book has a great mix of humor, magic, power, mystery, romance, intrigue, hot wild sex, prophecy & legends, friends & family and more!  The story does flow pretty fluidly giving history while moving forward at the same time.  I was impressed with the characters, finding myself drawn to them from the start.  I love how Taige takes a popular paranormal in natural born witch Peyton and recreates it until it becomes a whole new kind of witch - Taige style!!  And then for that near-the-end part with Wesley??  CRAZY!!!  And more than a little creepy if I do say so myself!  LOL  Of course I LOVE Newton!  In fact I almost stopped reading when I thought that she had...whew!  Sorry!  I almost gave a spoiler!  All in all, this book is worth the read!  With Taige's amazing writing style and obvious wealth of talent, you can never go wrong with any of her books!!

Kirstin has never been out of her den before, but now one of her pack is seriously injured—he may even be dying. Desperate to help, she races straight to Middle March, the borderland between Scotland and England, and falls right into a dangerous trap.

As the new laird of his clan, Donal MacFalon has made it clear that he, unlike his brother before him, will honor the wolf pact, an agreement their father made with England’s King Henry VII to protect Scotland’s wolf shifters, the wulvers, who most believe to be only the stuff of legend.

Wulvers, though, are very real. Kirstin knows. She’s one of them.

When Donal MacFalon turns those steel blue-grey eyes her way, she realizes she’s facing something far more dangerous in this man than any trap.

This man, already promised to another, has a power over her no man or wulver has ever had before. When he opens his castle and his heart to her, she finds herself willing to risk not only her own heart, but everything she’s ever known, just to be with him.

Kirstin will find herself caught-—between the man she loves and his intended bride, between her pack and a human world frightened of her kind, between nations whose hatred runs deep.

Kirstin will be forced to make choices no woman, or wulver, should ever have to make. All for one man, whose love goes beyond borders, nations, or legends, whose heart beats only for her.

He’s yer one true mate. 

Yer the man I’ve been waitin’ a lifetime fer. Yer me one true mate.  Yer a thousand times brighter and more beautiful than any star, m’love.  WHEW!!  Who knew Highlanders could be so sweet & romantic!  HOLY WULVERS BATMAN!!  What an amazingly awesome story!!  I thoroughly enjoyed the first book so when I heard that Selena was doing a second book, I was super excited & couldn't wait for it to come out!  In fact, between looking forward to this book and the fact that this story is so awesome, I read almost the entire book in one go!  Selena sure knows how to write them!  I was captivated from the very start, heck even from the cover, and it didn't let me go until long after I read the stuff on book 3 that is at the end of  this story!  This one is about Kirstin & Donal and is their romance interlaced with a furtastic storyline involving The Pack, The MacFalon people and of course some bad guys.  I have to admit that I was a little surprised at Kirstin & Donal's romance and how it played out!  Of course, I loved it, but still!  What a roller coaster of emotions and adventures!  I don't think that this story lacked for anything!!  You name it, it’s in here.  Everything from romance, hot, HOT scenes & moments, tenderness, mystery, intrigue, deception, love, hate, resentment...and the list goes on & on.  I love how this story flows, you are 'kept busy' but all in a good way.  There is always something going on, but yet it isn't too busy nor does it feel like Selena tried to tackle or include too many parts & pieces, thereby making it an awkward story.  In fact, it is quite the opposite!!  I think it is more than long overdue to say that Selena is a phenomenally gifted author who blows me away with every one of her paranormal stories that I read!  You are taken on this marvellous, magnificent & fantabulous adventure that has so many qualities in it, as well as a lot going on at any given time, that it just pulls you in from the very start and holds you captive throughout, until the very, very end.  I cannot wait for the next one!!  Good thing it will be out in just about 3 weeks or so!!

Dragon Blues (Immortal Dragons 1) by Ophelia Bell


They weren’t dragons. They weren’t even human. But she wanted them both more than anything in the thousands of years she’d lived.

One of only six immortal dragons—truly immortal in every sense of the word—the Blue Dragon Belah only seeks one more chance at love after a heartbreak that took millennia to recover from. Wary of humans after the last man she loved nearly destroyed her entire race centuries ago, she takes the chance, leaving her sanctuary to find a worthy human mate.

If she can find the perfect mate and conceive a child with him, she might just turn the tide against their mortal enemy.

Lukas and Iszak North have managed to stick to the fringes of the world for two hundred years. They would gladly leave the true work up to the dragons, and let their own race of falcon shifters have their peace. Tortured after their mortal enemy murdered their sister decades earlier, they finally hope to find happiness when when a beautiful female dragon walks into the jazz club Lukas’s band has a gig at. Dragons are renowned for their sexual appetites, and she’s apparently set her sights on them.

It doesn’t take long for them to learn who she really is—the dragon who was single-handedly responsible for unleashing an enemy on the world that’s tormented their race for more than a millennia, and their own family in very recent history. Centuries of buried animosity blaze forth when they learns Belah’s secrets, threatening to ruin the first true love they’ve found in several lifetimes of searching.

Truth might set them free, but it might also destroy them.


Last Alpha by Ruby Fielding


He never wanted to fall in love. She never planned to let him.
Jenny Layne has made a career out of investigating werewolf reports, but every case has only confirmed that shapeshifters are the stuff of legend or madness. Until now. Lured to a remote Scottish estate to meet a researcher working on the science behind the werewolf phenomenon, Jenny finds steadily mounting evidence that something strange is running wild in the hills.

Billy Stewart has traveled the world in pursuit of stories of shapeshifters and other strange phenomena, but the last thing he ever expected to find was love. Billy is not a man who falls easily, but when he does, it is a force of nature. When he meets Jenny he knows immediately that she is his soulmate, but Jenny is not so sure. Are his intense feelings for her just some kind of insanity, or is Jenny turning him away because that's exactly what she always does when a guy gets interested?

By turns passionate romance and gripping paranormal thriller, Last Alpha tells the story of two people whose paths collide with earth-shattering consequences. As love boils over and the dark secrets buried away in Jenny and Billy's past rise to the surface, a night of murder raises the stakes yet higher.

And as she fights for her own survival, Jenny must face perhaps the biggest question of them all. In matters of life, death and love, can Beauty ever really hope to tame the Beast?


Review by Cherri-Anne



My rating = 5 stars







I’m the real thing. A natural shifter.

As far as I know, the last of my kind.  What a scary thought!  Can you imagine being the very last of your kind??  Initial thoughts while starting in on the story is that Ruby starts off running & is very descriptive.  The fact that it is set in Scotland is awesome!!!  Definitely love the descriptions when it comes to any & everything Scottish!!!  Now that I am finished and trying to find the right words to do this review, I have to take a step back first.  Overall, I was firmly caught in Ruby's web, ensconced in this story, determined to figure out what was going on before the story revealed the answers.  Thankfully I was wrong most every time!  That is a great thing because it shows how original, how different & how unique the story is.  Now to think about the story on the deeper level...without ruining any single part of the story... The intensity level sure amps up quickly and often, which makes it a very furrific read!  ‘All I ever wanted was to find companionship in others like me, and I ended up falling in love.’  This isn't a romance story about shifters, this is a last wolf shifter story with a side of romance...until it becomes a romance, then shifts to a shifter romance.  ‘We don’t do all that. It has to be for life. A soul-mate.’  ‘He meant everything he said. He believed it.  That he was a werewolf, the last of his kind.  And that he was in love with Jenny.’   Ok, maybe in my 'real life' I would think a guy a nut job if he said all that to me, but since I prefer to live with my head - and heart - in paranormal romance books, I would LOVE to have that all said to me!!  That is actually one of the very cool parts to this story - how much it shifts, grows almost.  'Tender intimacy taking over from animal intensity.'  While this line describes something else (obviously! snicker), to me it describes the story perfectly!  This book ranges from the lightheartedness to highly intense, humor to solemn, and back again, making this story very hard to define, all in a good way though!  The psychosis of the wolf, of the man, of the woman, are all separate entities, even when they really aren't.  Trust me, after reading the book you will understand what I mean.  I can't find a way to say more about it without giving spoilers.  Because of these vastly different features this isn't a book that I would call a shifter story...until it is one!!  I love how you get sucked in and pulled through this amazing adventure!  Ruby has created such an innovative shifter story, where nothing is like any other shifter book that I have ever read!  And I have read a LOT!!!  And that ending?!?!  I was NOT expecting that at ALL!  FANGTASTIC!!!  Even though this is the first book that I have read of Ruby's, I can already see just how gifted of an author she is!  She has impressed me very much with this book and I cannot wait to experience her other stories!

Kissing Demons by Jen Winters


 I’ve been a Guardian for 800 years, and sometimes, even us immortals need a vacation. So when my big sister calls and tells me I’m off for two weeks, I take the opportunity to visit my favorite place: The Hunter’s Moon, a bar for supernaturals only. There’s a few things I want to accomplish while I’m not working: get a grimoire, find a little temporary fun, and make a friend. I did not want to find my soul mate, nearly die, watch a sister give up this life, and see my city in the throes of mass destruction.

What am I supposed to do now? My vacations over, my soul mate’s been kidnapped by a demon I’m not powerful enough to defeat, and Fort Worth, one of the cities I love, is in pieces. If I help the city, I will lose my soul mate; if I help my Alex, I will lose the city. What kind of Guardian would I be if I didn’t do everything in my power to defeat Yuruch? Am I even sure I want to be a Guardian anymore?

Guardian Geneva Archer might be more infamous than famous among the supernaturals in Ft. Worth, but when a sexy werewolf enters her territory, she finds herself face to face with her worst fear: save humanity or save her soulmate?

After 800 years of guarding humanity from the things that make your hair stand on end in the dead of night, Geneva Archer is given a two-week vacation to work out her feelings of loneliness and refresh her spirit. With time on her hands, she goes to her favorite club: a place for supernaturals to gather without worrying about human interference. While there, she meets Alex, a compelling werewolf with a demonic side. But instead of blasting him back to hell like her instincts would normally tell her to do, Geneva falls head over heels.

For Alex, Geneva is an answer to prayer. She can free him from the most notorious demon walking the earth—his father. Yuruch isn’t interested in his offspring’s life, just his body—the perfect body for a demon to inhabit. With Alex’s body and powers, Yuruch will become nearly invincible, able to wreak his hellish destruction on humanity from an impenetrable fortress.

In order to get his hands on Alex, Yuruch kidnaps one of Geneva’s sisters, luring both her and Alex into an ambush. After the botched rescue mission, Alex is possessed by Yuruch, leaving Geneva with a dead sister, a destroyed city and no way to get her soulmate back without giving Yuruch everything he desires.

Can Geneva figure out a way to defeat Yuruch and save Alex without sacrificing the very best of humanity in the process? Does she even want to?



Sneak Peek:
I looked down at the park in this little West Texas town. The trees clawed at the sky with their naked branches, and the lifeless brown grass crunched under the feet of the roughly twenty families milling about beneath me. Watching them from my vantage point in the tallest tree, I wondered vaguely if they would have any recollection of me left in their subconscious after what I was about to do for them. The deal I made stated that no human could remember me for more than a few seconds after I left them, but I still always wondered about that. Certainly no one in the seven hundred and eighty-three years since I’d made my deal had ever consciously recalled who I was after I left them. I knew things would not change today just because I was bored.
I heard the sound of the coming evil before I saw it. Evil has a thrum that the neighborhood dogs and I can hear. As I looked down the street toward the thrumming, pulsing sound, all of the dogs began barking; none of the people in the park noticed, of course. I jumped to the ground from my perch, startling a couple of young boys playing with a toad, and ran toward the problem at hand.
The thrumming came from a middle-aged man with a gun in his hand. He had a distinct twitch in his left eye and he kept shrugging his shoulders as if something were bothering him. He was shaking his head and mumbling to himself, but not even my super-human hearing could decipher his words. I blinked, switching to my evil eye, and saw the demon riding the man’s back like a black cowboy at a rodeo. The man was trying to buck the demon off with his shrugs, but his own doubt and insecurity gave the demon power to ride him all the way to hell. I was here to make certain that didn’t happen. The man, I discerned, was an accountant with a good home life, two teenage boys and a lovely little wife with enough spunk for the both of them. He needed to live so that those boys would have their mother at home the day their best friend died. If this seemingly inconsequential man died, his wife would have to find a job. She would not be there to explain life and death to her boys when their friend died. If they heard their mother’s explanation, the boys would one day save the life of a young girl who would in turn save the lives of millions of children. If they didn’t, that girl would die, and those millions of children with their abundant potential for our world would die. The consequences of one small event, one individual person, are greater than the world imagines.
I had often reflected on how this country and this world were becoming more and more violent every day. There were riots breaking out almost daily on the coasts because of the poor quality of life people faced there. It tore at my heart to see the world this way, but I knew it was necessary for people to reach a breaking point. My job was to save the people who would change this world for the better—when the world was ready for that change. I had been through this cycle several times in my life. This was not the most violent century I’d ever faced, but it certainly was the most frightening. I sometimes doubted whether this generation would manage to drag itself out of the muck of war and violence. The constant fear of terror attacks and the successes that terrorists had gained in the last few years made hope seem ridiculous. The country had been through hell and back a decade ago with a violent attack that was both bold and surprising. A terrorist group, calling themselves the Freedom, had managed to coordinate an attack in which Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami were all bombed on the same day at the very same minute. Each city lost around 8 city blocks—mainly tall office buildings full of workers—to the destruction of the bombs. Tens of thousands of people died that day. And for a time, this country was united. But that unity was fleeting and a decade later, this culture was so much worse than it was before the attack. The violence was never-ending and it made for a hard workload for women like me, Guardians working toward the goal of peace and unity. I was only one Guardian, but I worked with thousands of sisters toward the goal of a golden age of peace on this planet. I’d lived in Texas for the better part of the last century working on improving my corner of the nation for a better future. I could see bits and pieces of that future, especially when I came across someone like this accountant, whose life was specifically linked to that golden age of peace. Had I been unable to see the possible future I was working toward, I know I would never have bothered coming here to save this tiny little man.
But here I was, because he was important.
As I neared the man and the demon, I finally caught the demon’s eye. It laughed at me. “Here to save another one of these worthless water bags, Geneva?”
“Mockery will not save you, demon.” This was a spiritual battle—the demon had no physical form. The worst it could do was what it was already doing, plaguing a man to the point of death. I was using my spiritual eyes to see the demon and I used my spiritual power to help the man. I sent out my aura to protect him and consume the demon.
“Nothing will save you!” the demon screeched as my aura began to consume it. “The Lord of Flies will send out his hordes to pervert and consume you!”
“I’m sure he’ll try,” I murmured as the last of the wretched thing was dispatched and I directed my aura to begin to clean the black foulness of the demon’s residual aura from the accountant. This simple act sent the foul creature back to hell, destroying it from the inside out. Cleansing this man’s aura would lift his spirits, clear his head, and give him control of his life back. He would be confused and disoriented, but only for a few moments. The human mind was an amazing thing, and it would soon reject any remnants from the demon with only a tiny nudge from me to help it along.
When I finished, the man’s eyes cleared and he started in surprise at the gun in his hand.
“Here, let me have that. You won’t ever need it again,” I said with a comforting tone of authority.
He looked again at the gun and handed it over. “What am I doing here?” he asked, confusion settling on his features.
“You’re just taking a walk to get your mind off losing your job. I guess you got lost in thought and didn’t realize you’d come so far.”
The man’s confusion visibly cleared as my words became fact in his mind. “Oh, well I should get home,” he decided. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” I replied quietly as he turned and walked away. Three, two, one…I’m forgotten. Just like that.

Divinity Temptations by Michelle M. Pillow





Divinity Temptations (A Divinity Healers box set) by Michelle M. Pillow
 
Alternate Reality Romance by Bestselling Author Michelle M. Pillow

Box Set Includes
Ariella’s Keeper
Seducing Cecilia
Linnea’s Arrangement

1. Ariella’s Keeper
When his father threatens to take away his research facility’s funding if he doesn’t come home, Dr. Sebastjan Walter has no choice but to do so. This isn’t just a family reunion. It seems his father has arranged a marriage—Sebastjan’s. Seeing his chance to make one last final deal to get his father out of his life, he agrees to marry the off-plane woman. After seeing her, he can’t help but think he’s made the better bargain.

Ariella has been held prisoner by the Medical Supreme since he cured her of a childhood illness. Forced to stay in his home as his ward, she has no choice but to do whatever he wants. When he demands she marry his son, Ariella finds this is one order she might not mind obeying.

2. Seducing Cecilia
In a world obsessed with medical advancement, Dr. Gerard Fauchet longs for something more. When he’s assigned as the liaison to an off-plane dignitary, he never imagined she’d be so stunningly beautiful, or so damned frustrating. One second she’s kissing him, the next she’s pretending nothing is between them. The passion is scorching, everything he ever dreamed of having with a woman. He’ll make her admit she wants him—or die trying.

Dr. Cecilia Markos is keenly aware that she’s been shoved through a portal to an alternate reality for one reason—to bring home medical advancements for the betterment of her people. Unfortunately, she only has two months to learn a world’s complete medical knowledgebase. It’s an impossible task made even more so by the distractingly handsome Gerard who she can’t seem to keep her hands or her mind off of.

As things heat up between Gerard and Cecilia, the clock is ticking, and the time for seduction is running out.

3. Linnea’s Arrangement
Beautiful, highly intelligent Linnea Nel wants what most women want—a career, love, respect. But coming from a plane where order and all things anti-chaos reign, the untrackable, untraceable and highly rebellious Linnea is considered a threat—to her family, society and her world. When her numerous arrests for reading library books become a public embarrassment to her politically minded sister, Linnea is forced on a dignitary mission to an alternate reality.

There are only two classifications of people on plane 187: Doctors and Not Doctors (Sans). Dr. Sam Swift is one of the highest ranking officials on the medical plane, answering only to the Medical Supreme. When the Medical Supreme becomes ill, it’s up to him to find a cure. Nowhere in this equation is there room—or time—to fall in love. And then he meets the exquisitely frustrating Sans Linnea Nel.

In the midst of the worst outbreak 187’s society has faced in decades, two people who never should have met fall in love. How can Linnea stay where she may be in danger? But how can Sam let the love of his life go?

Thoughts by Cherri-Anne 

My rating = 5 stars
 
No need for a prescription!     
 
Michelle is the cure!  This box set covers the three books in the Divinity Healers series.  What a series it is!  I completely loved each book and how they intersect, relate & combine into one FANTASTIC series!  (please see my facebook page for full review)
 
Ariella’s Keeper (Divinity Healers book 1) - Captive. Prisoner. No escape.   5 stars

The universe lined up and she understood.  AWWWWW!  I LOVED this story!!  There are so many extremes like cold, sterile, nasty, offset by warmth, sweet & truth.  I thoroughly adored Ariella and my heart broke for her...until Sebastjan comes along and then I was totally envious of her!!  Thankfully Sebastjan is NOT like his father!  Supreme Walter is one horrible person and rather without morals for someone who is Medical Supreme!  But of course, different planes have different ideals, among other things.  I loved the pace of this story, how it played out, as well as all of the creative thought that went into making this such an addictive read!  Michelle certainly has a way with words!  The tech, the medical aspects, the whole idea of different planes, worlds, etc. is interwoven so perfectly making this a unique & HOT story that you do not want to miss out on!  Once again Michelle has shown yet another side to her phenomenal talent, adding further proof – as if you need any! - that every single one of her stories is a perfectly flawless, sparkly gem worth keeping & reading over & over for many years to come!  Who knew that Michelle M. Pillow meant “Midas Touch” in reader-ese!  Michelle M. Pillow, Author of All Things Romance™ - that says it all!
 
Seducing Cecilia (Divinity Healers Book 2) - This man was chaos. She was about control.    5 stars
 
She was locked in a box with his pheromones.  She wanted nothing more than to tear off his clothes and go for a round two…and three…and four…and… (and the problem is...?  Oh right!  You are there to 'work')!  Another fantastic story by Michelle!!  This one has so many great features like characters that are easy to love, mysteries to ponder, hotness to melt the frostiness, anxiety, nerves and most anything caught in their path.  I love all of the creativity from the humor to the seriousness, the different ways of the people like the histories, the laws, rules & customs, the contrast of the two different planes like their different views on relationships, - one is all rigid and controlled while the other is almost the complete opposite.  All of that and more are the very reasons that this story as well as the other 2 books in this series, are so unique and captivating!  Of course, this all works together so perfectly because of Michelle & her phenomenal wealth of talent!  No matter how many of her books I have read, I am still in awe of Michelle's ability to write so many fantabulous stories across a variety of subjects, story lengths, heat levels, etc.  With each one I am enchanted, enthralled & thoroughly captivated from the front cover to the back.  I am held in the story's grasp until the very end, connected with the characters, experiencing right along with them, happily, contentedly & excitedly living the story as if it was MY story, enthusiastically devouring it word by word, line by line, chapter by chapter. As per usual, my only complaint is when I reach those two little words most hated by readers everywhere - THE END.  Thankfully you not only get a ton of story powered by a terrific storyline or two, but you will always have another book to lose yourself in.  After all she is Michelle M. Pillow, Author of All Things Romance™
 
Linnea’s Arrangement (Divinity Healers book 3) - He imagined this was what destiny felt like.  5 stars
 
AWESOME!  Man-oh-man did I ever love this one!  I love the humor, the hotness and of course...the romance!  Linnea is one great character who I just couldn't help feeling for her!  I wanted to give her big hugs and become her friend because she so desperately needs one.  Sam is a character that I was intrigued with from the other books, but of course we don't know much about him until now.  I have to say that Linnea is lucky to have met him first, otherwise I would have snagged him myself!  LOL  This is definitely my favorite one of the three, but that's not to say I didn't like the others!  I think it was mostly because of the ending in this one.  It’s actually quite beautiful and with oh so very much irony and a huge spoonful of justice brought the three books together for this terrific ending that sweetened the series to a level of perfection that so very few authors can achieve, and yet Michelle is able to do just that so flawlessly & effortlessly, time and again!  I love how Linnea's and Cecilia's stories start together, cover the same time period, intersect periodically but yet are actually two different stories.  It's cool to get each characters perspective on the shared scenes or situations.  Michelle is aces at being able to tell the same scene(s) and/or story from multiple viewpoints & perceptions while at the same time keeping it so enjoyable & interesting!!  Okay, let’s be honest, Michelle can write about almost anything and make it interesting & enjoyable!  Although that's a more than just a bit misleading!  Michelle's books are oh so very much more than "just" interesting & enjoyable - they are fantabulous, sweet, romantic, addicting, engrossing, hot, funny, touching, intense, passionate, just to give you a rough idea!  After all, Michelle is THE Author of All Things Romance™!!
