“I felt I have been waiting all my life for this moment to love you.”

For 15 years, Devlin Byrne has worked his way up from nothing to be worthy of the girl who stole his heart so many years ago when he was just a boy of 12.  Now a powerfully wealthy man, Devlin has garnered a reputation of being both faithful to those he cares for as well as ruthless to those who would cause them harm.  But regardless of his wealth and power, he is still not considered worthy of being part of the ton.  Devlin has fought too hard to achieve his heart’s desire, and he will continue to plot and wait for as long as it takes to claim his beloved Fifi.

Lady Ophelia Durby is the only child of a powerful marquess.  Her doting parents have always allowed her to choose her own path in life and encouraged her to only marry for love…so long as she brings no scandal to the family name.  But Ophelia’s heart was stolen long ago…by a boy with a heart of gold who saved her from certain death…who made her feel cherished, protected and loved just as she was…a boy who begged his Fifi to wait for him…

Stacy Reid has once again hit it out of the park in her third installment to her Sinful Wallflowers series!  This story is full of all the heartwarming sinfully romantic feelings I’ve grown to expect and enjoy from her romances!  To the moon and back I loved Devlin and Fifi’s story and highly recommend!  Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

5 Stars

“I love you…you are my very heart…”

For years Emma has dreamed of her knight, but each dream ends the same…after a kiss, she is swept away from his embrace only to wake alone in her bed.  Out of habit, Emma twists her grandmother’s ring on her finger.  Running her fingers against it, she remembers that her grandmother once told her the ring would bring her what she needed the most—what she desired in the deepest part of her heart.  And what Emma is wanting the most is to love and be loved…to no longer be alone…to have a family…

While thinking of her knight, Emma slips her grandmother’s ring on her finger and suddenly finds herself dropped in a strange location with people screaming “witch” at her.  But like in her dream, the knight that always held and made her feel safe and loved is there and prepared to defend her.  Emma is both thrilled and terrified at finding herself back in time with her beloved knight, but how will she survive the loss, if it all disappears with a kiss…

Oh, how I luvs time travel romances, and Brynn Paulin did not disappoint this reader with her smexxy romantic tale of a knight and his lady sharing a dream and falling in love.  Did not what this story to end!  Loved and highly recommend!

5 Stars

Historical Romance

“I love you…I’m so sorry I hurt you…go ahead and be angry with me.  I deserve it…I’ll still love you when you’re done with the mad.”

 Lady Charlotte “Lottie” Wentworth was dubbed the “Paper Doll Princess” during her first Season.  Fleeing the gossips of London, she finds solace in taking over the running of her father’s estate.  But when circumstances change, and Lottie is faced with an ultimatum to keep her independence, she enlists the aid of her Godmother to seek a husband that will allow her to keep her freedom.  Never would she dream the very man that ruined her all those years ago with the nickname “Paper Doll Princess” would become the very savior she needed…

Ethan Ridley, Lord Amesbury and known as “Mac” to his friends, can’t believe his good fortune, or mayhap it is a curse, but he finds himself once again in the company of the beautiful Lady Charlotte.  Years ago, in a drunken stupor he unintentionally hurts Lady Charlotte by calling her a “Paper Doll Princess”, and it was just too good for the gossip rags not to publish and completely ruin her.  With hat in hand, Ethan apologizes, and while not overwhelmingly accepted, Lady Charlotte and Ethan come to a truce…which blossoms into a budding friendship…and friends do tend to make the best of lovers…

Lottie and Ethan’s story is a wonderfully written second chance romance I could not put down!  There is so much happening within these pages, and I don’t want to give away too much in a review!  

Dear Reader, be ready to add this smexxy Scot to your boyfriend list!  Highly recommend and look forward to the next installment to the Misfits of Mayfair!

4-Stars

Historical Romance

“In this life or in the next, I’ll always be true tae ye…”

“I love ye…until the end of all things, I’ll love ye and only ye…”

Lor Careston is a humble smithy living with his grandfather.  Despite his size, fighting has never been his first choice.  Always preferring to work out disagreements with his brain rather than his brawn, Lor is content with his life in the quiet Highland village where he and his grandfather live and work.  But when his village is raided and burned to the ground leaving death and destruction of both his grandfather and his home, Lor remembers a tale told to him about the Ludus Caledonia, an elite training compound where worthy men may sign on years of service to become highly trained warriors.  With vengeance in his heart, Lor leaves all behind to be taught to fight in order to gain his retribution…never dreaming that the path he has set to travel will lead him in an entirely different direction…

Isabail Keith, the daughter of the Chieftain of Clan Keith, has given up on finding love.  What man would want a warrior for a wife?  That is until her path crosses once again with Lor Careston…with Lor she is accepted for being both fierce and beautiful.  Lor doesn’t judge her for her choice in being trained for battle, and willingly asks for her guidance.  Over time, Lor and Isabail find a love that will last a lifetime and beyond…

Oh, dear reader, I did so enjoy the first installment to Kathryn Le Veque’s Scots & Swords series!  If you are a fan of her medieval romances, be prepared for the same epic adventure and swoon worthy hero!  Looking forward to the next in the series and highly recommend!

★★★★★

5-Stars

Historical Romance

“You speak your thoughts so boldly.  Is there nothing you are afraid of?”

“I am afraid of years from now looking back on my life and feeling the keenest of regret that I had not lived.  Of never feeling again the way I feel with you.”

Revenge…that one constant thirst for revenge against those that caused harm to his first love is what has shaped Nicholas Ives, the Marquess of Rothbury, into the man he is today.  Nicholas is playing the long game in his quest for vengeance, and in doing so, has developed quite the reputation for being a rake throughout the ton.  This reputation is the very thing that has kept the eyes of those he means to ruin off his plan for retaliation…but when bumps into an intriguing “wallflower” by the name of Maryann FitzWilliam, Nicholas begins to wonder if he’s finally met someone who can bring life back to his long dead soul…if he’s ready to remove the mask and set aside his vengeance and replace it with a love worth forgiveness…

Miss Maryann FitzWilliam will not be forced to wed the odious man her parents have picked.  Devising a plan with her fellow “wallflowers”, Maryann plots to be most sinful and starts a rumor that she was the innocent that the rakish Marquess of Rothbury stole kisses from after sneaking into her bedroom window.  With the ton spreading the rumor, Maryann is confident that she will be free to live her life without the constraints of a husband.  But the one thing Maryann hadn’t counted on was the Marquess actually sneaking into her bedroom…or the intense feelings she would develop for him…

Nicholas and Maryann’s story is a slow burn romance, and dearest reader, I so very much loved it!  Heartfelt at times, soul crushing at others and so verra verra smexxy, Her Wicked Marquess is a must read for fans of this genre!  Loved and highly recommend!
