“Avenge yourself. Make him fall in love with you, then give him the cut.” Christian de Montford’s (The Duke of Lexington) greatest passion has been for science and archeology since a young child. That is, until one summer afternoon at the annual Eton and Harrow cricket match where he first laid eyes on Venetia Townsend. [...]
Confronted with reality that she is going to lose her job and her livelihood, Kizzy Dean comes to London to confront her boss. But because she is ten minutes late for the meeting she misses him. His snarky secretary tells her that he is most likely at the top of London and there is no [...]
He was a lawyer, he’d been trained to think in logical ways- and yet that very thought suddenly seemed like a contradiction in terms. Threesome. Simple. The two words just didn’t make sense together. Ethan and Mira have started to drift apart in their relationship. Ethan has let his work come between the best relationship [...]
Wow. I can’t recall a time that this has happened to me with Madeline Hunter. She’s not always a sure thing for me, as I can recall disliking or being disappointed in some of her books, but that’s not really unexpected when I look at how much of her blacklist I have read. But I [...]
Edited to add: Spoilers in the comments. You have been warned. Let me start by saying I picked up Sinful by Charlotte Featherstone because I had heard such high praise about it.

I am a big fan of sports romances because I get to picture all the hot and sweaty men running around half-naked in the locker rooms. So when I saw the cover of Breakaway by Deirdre Martin I was all over it. Unfortunately, the cover is very misleading. While the book is part of her New [...]
