Floor Time

Jack is an adorable eligible male. In his thirties, he's a top real estate broker and has the connections to close a deal. With his good looks and persuasive character, he has a black book most men would love and he uses it often.
His past is hidden, but an tide of frustration runs through his life. A devastating encounter made him wary of relationships, but the more Jack suppresses it, the more his dissatisfaction grows.
Sara, a rookie in the real estate business, has progressed to the top of the market. Her life mirrors a disciplined approach. However, as her profession takes off, the happiness she pursues remains out of reach.
A difficult contract forces Jack and Sara together and sparks begin to fly between them. Obliged to face up to the impulses, their relationship seems to spiral out of control until Jack finally admits what he needs, and shows Sara what she's been missing.

Jack is perhaps the classic alpha male not looking for permanent relationships. Sarah comes across as a powerful woman. His past plagues him and his dealings with women. Now he works on the principle that if he doesn't feel anything, then he can't be hurt.

Floor Time is no literary masterpiece, it is about dreams and escapism. Enjoy it for what it is.

WITHOUT REPROACH: an adult romance

When wealthy Spanish artist, Juan García, dies, he leaves his beautiful Spanish villa and riding school, to Jenny. She finds this bizarre, because she is English, has never been there, never met him, never heard of him, and is not related to him...

It gets worse as she starts to vaguely recognize certain rooms. Jenny freaks out when she discovers a painting of herself... naked.

Juan’s brother, Eduardo, believes she is a gold-digger and is out to prove it.

Jenny finds herself struggling with him on several levels; his certainty that she had an affair with Juan, his own escalating attraction  towards her, his belief that she may be involved with threatening letters against him... but then she starts to get threatening letters too, and it all gets out of hand.

Adult Romance
Without Reproach is definitely an adult romance for discerning people. This is not a simple romance, this is a contemporary mystery within an erotic romance - a story of intrigue, deceit, erotic sex, and of course, love. Think Penny Vincenzi.

In Without Reproach,  Ellie Jones creates  an adult bittersweet story, with an enthralling mystery at its core. If you like sugar-sweet heroines, this is definitely not for you.

This is a story about a contemporary woman with strong feelings, and emotions that must be fulfilled.

From the opening sentence, the central characters of this adult romance are infused with life. As the story unfolds, you become angry, grateful, sad - the full gamout of emotions - and then of course there is spice. If you like your stories hot, you won't be disappointed. If sex offends you, put it down.

Ellie Jones's familiarity with Spain and it's people is evident and lends authenticity to the heroine's emotional journey of discovery. Well worth reading.

Bargain in Bronze

Title      - Bargain in Bronze

Stars     - 3.5

Bargain in Bronze:

Libby’s specialty is producing her renowned muesli. When an Olympic athlete invites her to make cereal for him, she's puzzled that his brother Jack should accuse her of trying to spoil his brother's career. Libby intends to remain single, but with Jack around, she can barely suppress the pleasure she's long denied herself.
Jack’s fascination with Libby is immediate, but he's raised his two siblings following their parent’s death, and it's been hard work for as long as he can remember. He can't let down his guard when his brother is so close to the Olympic success. However, keeping Libby at bay takes every ounce of his self-control.
Neither wants a relationship, but they can't refute their attraction. When the relationship starts to crackle between them, will they be able to take it?

Bargain in Bronze started out alright, but I never really felt I knew either of them. Bargain in Bronze hopped around a fair bit which was slightly off-putting. The story is basically okay, not over the top, and a quick read. Perhaps it should have been a novella. I think more detail is needed, and perhaps Natalie Anderson needs to expand descriptions a little.

Waking Up Married

Kindle Romance 

Title - Waking Up Married
Author - Mira Lyn Kelly
Stars - 4

Waking Up Married:

Daylight after her cousin's party and Megan wakes up with the worst hangover of her life. Ashamed of her behaviour, she finds she’s in a stranger's apartment… who turns out to be her new, witty, egotistical, sexy…husband.

Up until now, unearthing even a boyfriend had seemed impossible. Yet, a few martinis with Connor and she's gone from first meeting to marriage in one night.

Megan wants a lawyer. However, Connor has a surprise for her… he doesn’t want a divorce.

Waking Up Married:
The main protagonists of Waking Up Married, although not entirely believable, are agreeable. The wit in the story is dry and well-presented, the passion believable. Waking Up Married is not a long novel so things are perhaps not as thoroughly developed as some stories. But having said that this is an undemanding and  enjoyable read.

Stars    4

Break Me Slowly:

Katelyn is set for her first day of assistant teaching when she is nearly hit by a car. She is surprised to find it isn’t the bad experience that causes her heart to pound, but the sexy man behind the wheel.

Adam is wealthy, attractive, a powerful businessman, and the first man to kindle emotions inside of her other than fear.
Adam is used to getting his own way, and he wants Katelyn naked. He obstinately wants to possess Kate, only to discover that it is she who possesses him.
However, Kate discovers that Adam has secrets dark enough to break the walls that she keeps so firmly in place.
Adam’s commanding nature  triggers a desire so strong, it destroys Kate’s demons. However, when desire turns to obsession, Kate fears that it will rage too hot, and destroy her sanity.

Break Me Slowly has just the right level of excitement, spectacle, and crisis without the central characters going too far. Joya Ryan manages to suspend disbelief without giving you brain surgery.  Break Me Slowly ends up with the right mix of cuteness, torment, and sexiness, to be a good read. Enjoy!

Reach for the tissues ladies... Each of the stories in Valentine's Day Box Set is an emotive and explicit romance in its own right, but as a collective, your legs might just give way…

Her Heart for the Asking

Mandy insists she will never return to Texas after Beau ditches her in favour of the rodeo circuit. However, her uncle develops heart disease, and she flies back to convince him to take surgery to save his life. The first thing she sees when she steps off the plane is her biggest nightmare...the man she not once stopped loving.

Beau Gentry is in love with two things: the rodeo and Mandy, but loving Mandy is thwarted by his father's feud with her uncle. This leads him to make the hardest decision of his life and he still recalls the hurt on Mandy's face. He believes Mandy has put him out of her mind because she moves far away. However, she has returned to Texas, and he's going to do all he can to win back her love.

Her Heart for the Asking is a light-weight read. The story is pleasant, slips away the time and permits a dreamless sleep.
No work or concentration is required in reading. The central characters know what they feel like, and try to obtain it in an undiluted approach.

An okay book, no great shakes, no great problems.
