The Surrender Gate by Christopher Rice

Image
Title: The Surrender Gate (A Desire Exchange Novel) Author: Christopher Rice Genre: Contemporary Romance Erotica, Fantasy Published: February 3, 2015 Rating: ♨♨♨ (3 steaming cups) An erotic romance that digs deep into your sexual fantasies at a high price, but its the almost mystery aspect that keeps readers on edge. Review: The Surrender Gate is more a mystery suspense novel than it is erotica and romance. Emily Blaine was going to inherit Arthur Benoit's vast fortune upon his death and that would be sooner rather than later since he is apparently terminal.  However, he does have one last request for Emily, that she find his long lost son and give him a letter for him. Because Emily is so very grateful for this man, who gave her dad a second chance and in turn, Emily a more stable childhood she couldn't turn him down.  The inheritance was more of a burden for her and to actually be able to do something for Arthur makes it more worthwhile.  She enlist the help o

It’s a little late for mansplaining.” “And for not turning you around and taking you right over the hood of that Aston Martin to show you how wrong you were.” Her breath catches, but another Emily responds. “Charming,” she whispers. “Your hand seems to think so,” he says. He’s right. The warmth she’s been feeling against her thigh is coming from her own palm. Just the sound of his voice has charmed her fingers onto her thigh. And he can see it all. The parted taffeta drapes blowing in the breeze, the tangle of silk sheets sliding down across her white T-shirt, the rise and fall of her

Monkey Beach by Eden Robinson

Image
"Find a map of British Columbia.” The rugged coasts of Pacific Northwest are almost familiar to me now. I came across its breathtaking and raw beauty when I first read Susan Vreeland’s The Forest Lover of where she waxed poetic about it. So here again I meet the majestic mountains, the dark forests, the tumultuous sea, the mystical dreams and the people of Kitamaat who breathe life into the book. Monkey Beach tells the nostalgic recollections of Lisa Marie, a young Native American woman from Haisla, as she sailed to the sea in search of her missing brother. Her hasty journey is fraught with peril and reminiscences which eventually bring light to the unfolding drama and mystery surrounding her family, her brother’s death, her unique supernatural gift and the social struggle of the residents in their remote Indian village being at a cultural crossroads. This originally came out more than a decade ago and I would have totally missed it had it not been published ag

Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen

Image
There’s magic and garden and romance; a good premise for an enjoyable reading. Sarah Addison Allen does magic realism with a sprinkle of humor (that's not necessarily dark), twisting the magic recipe theme into a parade of funny yet sweet quirks. Garden Spells  is the first in the Waverly Family series centering on the sisters Clair and Sydney and their journey to making peace with each other, dealing with a temperamental apple tree in the backyard, love life and small-town scrutiny. It's my first time reading Sarah Addison Allen and her book has been on my reading list for some time as it was said it's quite reminiscent of Alice Hoffman's works. It took a blogger who loves gardening to give me the needed push and I simply fell into it without stopping. I loved the warmth of the Waverly home, a Queen Anne architecture on Pendland Street. Evanelle Waverly is perhaps the most beloved figure out of them all. There are characters to be fond of and there are some t

Spotlight: The First Kiss by Grace Burrowes: Excerpt and Giveaway!

Image
Title: The First Kiss  Author: Grace Burrowes  Release Date: February 3, 2015  Publisher : Sourcebooks Casablanca  Genre: Contemporary Romance Rating:♨♨♨♨ ( 4 cups of sweetness, flirty romance that appears light and fluffy but carries a hefty weight when it comes to its wonderful characters and exquisite details of the day to day living of this family.  Wonderful addition to the series!) Review:   This was very sweet, riveting and entertaining. Although it has the elements of being a light and fluffy romance, the characters of James and Vera takes it into deeper level making this novel a bit multilayered than it initial appears to be. The details in the writing is very evident in Ms. Burrowes historical novels are also clearly evident in her contemporary novels as well. The happily ever afters don't seem farfetched when it comes coupled with such logical and realistic descriptions. James and Vera were interesting lead characters who are both flawed but didn't

Blog Tour: The Science of Attraction by Verity Jacobs, A Review and giveaway!

About THE SCIENCE OF ATTRACTION: Kate Ramsey is at the top of her game. She’s the hot new recruit at the most prestigious research institute in Germany, and she’s determined to live up to the hype — even if it means working day and night. Stress relief comes in the form of a no-nonsense affair with her neighbor, who also happens to be the director of the institute. Who says sex should be anything more than a contract between two people who have other things on their mind? So when Tom Baker saunters into her life, Kate is understandably upset to see this well-oiled machine splutter and seize. Tom is young and smart, and far too pretty for his own good. Kate can’t help but be drawn to him, even if giving in to the attraction would mean risking everything she’s worked for.  Buy Links: Amazon  **  Barnes & Noble  **  Kobo  **  iTunes Review: Verity Jacob's The Science of Attraction is all out sexy, steamy erotica which was almost comedic but definitely still a lo
