A sweet easy read under 200 pages (it says closer to 200 on here; on my nook it was listed as 128) that was great for in between huge epic sagas. While not Shakespeare, it kept my interest and was perfect for my mood. Was free on nook when I got it a couple years ago but nook books that are free ...
Don't just focus on the first three words of the following paragraph, but keep reading:Dull, dull, dull .... I first thought when I started reading this ..... it felt monosyllabic and mono-tonal, no depth and very little interest.HOWEVER, and it is a big one .... I didn't notice the improvement a...
I have mixed feelings about the Harlequin presents line. I'm not a huge alpha male fan and the ridiculous wealth etc can drive me crazy. But at times, they can all be fun quick escape reading with relationships that transcend the goofy trappings. I enjoyed this novella but read it a few months ...

“Bonsoir,” the porter said but Isaak did not answer, and it was Kate who responded as Isaak frowned at the crib. “It’s beautiful,” Kate commented for it was. In antique silver, she guessed it to be from around the early 1900s. The hotel was filled with the most stunning pieces and finally Kate wa...
I was the coldest I had ever been and I could smell sick in my hair. My back was killing me from all the piano practice and sleeping on the sofa.It was May, almost June, but I put on the central heating and because it was light now and the house seemed normal I went upstairs and ran a bath. I wan...
Or rather she couldn’t go back in there like this. Kate’s heart was hammering, her face burning in a blush, and her hands were shaking as she frothed the coffee for her boss, Levander Kolovsky, and his younger half brother, Aleksi. Never, never, had she reacted so violently to someone. And, at th...
Unlike on the plane, now, for the first time, he looked relaxed, and as she watched him, it was Georgie who was tense. She was starting to make sense of the strange rules, could see now what Felicity had been saying—that to the people of Zaraq she was still married. Ibrahim would not mind, she tr...
‘It’s fine.’ Jasmine shook her head. ‘I’ll see you at the weekend. Ruby said that she could—’ ‘But you’re upset tonight.’ ‘Don’t worry, I’ll be fine by Saturday.’ She couldn’t keep the brittle edge from her voice. Yes, she was happy keeping things light, but sometimes, on days like today, it was ...
At the whisper of warm breath on her cheek, Cheryl opened her eyes. A tired, kind face hovered above hers. “You can have that bath you wanted after all. There’s still a tank of warm water left. It’s not hot, but some of those scrapes of yours could use a good soak.” “Scrapes?” “Believe me, you’re...
She stared at the scratchy gray blankets that wouldn’t house her tonight—instead she’d lie on silk. Lie with Prince Benito and give to him not just what she had promised, but what she wanted to give.No matter how she fought it, how she tried to think otherwise, despite the circumstances, the clin...
‘It’s not your colour.’ ‘It’s stunning,’ Lavinia begged—because the dress was heavenly, and more importantly they had not a moment to spare. But Katina would not budge. ‘You represent Kolovsky. You’re dining with a king. I choose.’ Katina pulled down the zipper and Lavinia wriggled out. Katina bu...
Matteo confused her almost as much she confused herself. She wanted him. Oh, my, she wanted him, and last night had been perfect. Absolutely perfect except for one thing. Unlike the sensual kiss they h...
Harry’s sister had taken the children for the rest of the week and he was covering the department as best he could but, of course, he couldn’t work twenty-four hours a day. He told Admim that he would work till the funeral on Thursday but, after that, it was up to them to find a replacement. &nbs...
It almost was. Meg awoke slowly, lying on her stomach, feeling the heavy weight of his leg over her, an arm draped over her back and the soft kiss of his breath on her shoulder. Wriggling slightly, she turned her head, watching Flynn sleep. Watching the sun on his face, the full sensual mouth, th...
‘It’s okay,’ Annika said, and then she admitted the truth. ‘I’ll be glad when it’s over.’ ‘What have you got next?’ ‘Maternity,’ Annika said, as Elsie slurped her tea. She seemed to have caught her second wind these past few days: more and more she was lucid, and the lucid times were lasting long...
Clearly there were …’ Everything had gone black then. Somehow Nico had maintained the phone conversation, had listened to his mother spout the latest gossip circling the two islands, had even managed to fire a few questions of his own in a voice that was presumably normal for his mother had not h...
With a shaking hand she swiped the card and walked into his luxurious hotel suite. Even though it was in semi-darkness she could see him standing with his back to a window, his broad outline blocking the view of the city. “You came,” Roman said, because he had been starting to wonder if Milly wou...
The boy was, in fairness to the paediatricians, markedly more distressed by the time Harry arrived. Harry took some bloods, called the lab and asked for the tests to be put through urgently. Then he called the orthopaedic surgeons as it began to look more and more as though the child might have s...
‘She’s upset because her husband has been unable to get a flight back till later this evening.’ Felicity was one of Anton’s high-risk pregnancies and finally the day had arrived where she would meet her baby, but her husband was in Germany with work. ‘How is she doing?’ Louise asked. ‘Very slowly...
‘Oh, hi,’ Penny said, as if she just happened to be sitting there at a quarter to nine in the morning, as if she hadn’t been looking up school times on the internet, as if she hadn’t spent forty minutes trying to cover the marks on her neck and her puffy eyes. ‘How are you?’ ‘Good.’ Kate smiled. ...
Semi conscious, lying on the couch with a throw rug over him and all the chaos that a teething toddler created in the small hours surrounding him, Hamish was tempted to tell her to put more clothes on. She was in that bloody nighty and gumboots again, but, Hamish realised with a sigh, given it wa...
‘You have no idea how nervous I am.’ ‘Well, you look stunning,’ Madison reassured her friend, and every word was genuine. Helen’s pale blonde hair had been beautifully trimmed and blow-dried, her face was gently made up and the permanent jeans and T-shirt had been replaced with a simple black dre...
‘Shoes?’ Dominic helpfully suggested just after she closed the door. ‘Oh. Yes.’ Which meant she had to rummage in her bag for her keys as he stood there. ‘They must be in here.’ ‘Can’t the babysitter let you in?’ ‘He’s at my parents’,’ she said as she rummaged. ...
Just as he always did. Even if he went back to sleep afterwards, his body clock still dictated that he watch the sun come in. He glanced at the clock and it was just after four and he knew where he needed to be. Where they ne...
Raúl worked harder than anyone she knew. His punishing day started at six, but rather than coming in drained at the end of it he would have a quick swim in the pool, or they’d make love—or rather they’d have sex. Because the Raúl from the yacht was gone now. A quick shower...
Too busy for Lila to think about her own problems and too busy for the awareness that usually descended upon her whenever Declan was around. ‘I’ve got Ambulance Control on the line, Lila,’ Sue called as Lila dashed past. ‘They want to speak to whoever’s in charge.’ ‘Thanks...
‘They’re keeping me in again tonight.’ Emily nodded. She wanted to go home and away from all the eyes and just curl up in a ball and heal, but every couple of hours she started retching and they weren’t sure if it was the anaesthetic or morning sickness. So the drip stayed in and apart from a shu...
