 Review:
Daring the Bad Boy is a short book about a one night stand between two people trying to forget, on that very special holiday for lovers, Valentine's Day. As Rosie and Cal engage in sexual congress that delivers on all it promises, they both find out the inconvenient truth. That what started out as pure lust can deepen into something more in a matter of just 24 hours. Short but sweet and hot oh so hot, Cal and Rosie will just worm their way into readers' hearts with their flaws and weakness, their strength and sweetness. Daring the Bad Boy can be heartbreakingly funny and angsty (but only for a moment) and altogether a great romance.

 So if you don't like insta love and you don't like short novels that you might feel can't deliver on character or plot development, I think that Daring the Bad Boy is worth a shot for you to read. Despite the romantic cliches and the almost too common tropes, Ms. Rice has managed to craft two characters whose personality just begs for readers to get to know and to go on a journey very few people can go on, for just 24 hours.

 Blurb:
What happens on Valentine’s Night, stays on Valentine’s Night… That’s the rule.


After a trip home to bury his father, US photographer in London Caleb Landry finds himself stranded in a Soho bar full of boozy women brooding his way through his least favourite night of the year.

But when college art teacher Rosie Smith tries out the cheesiest pick-up line ever on him, Cal becomes captivated by this good girl with a filthy mind – especially when he discovers she has a V-Day allergy of her own. So he dares her to one smokin’ hot Valentine’s night hook-up with no questions asked, satisfaction guaranteed…

But when Valentine’s Night turns into the morning after, suddenly Rosie’s asking questions she shouldn’t, and putting Cal in danger of breaking his number one rule.

It was just another day for 35-year-old-turning-36-tomorrow Jeffrey Mercier, when he woke up on his flat in London in 1969. He went on with his usual routine, going to work for his boring job at Harlan and Locke. It did seem to be an ordinary day, until a young woman told him that he's gonna die in ten minutes if he won't go out of the building. Of course he didn't believe her, yet he found himself outside the building ten minutes later, the building blown up. He was saved again from a stampede by the same young woman whom he met ten minutes ago, introducing herself as Marie-Elizabeth Giraud. Marie was tasked to save Jeff from death and take him to the Time Agency, where he's going to be inducted as a time agent. Later that day, Jeffrey Mercier's life as Mister Mercy begins.

Blog Hop Giveaway:Switched by Cassie Mae

Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the
