This was my first read by Maisey Yates and I really enjoyed it. I would put this one right between a 3.5 and 4 star. I loved how there was no bickering, no jerk hero, just two people who are put together through fate who do their best to make good out of the situation. It was sweet how Alison wou...
I've had this one on my iPad for a long time now, and I finally got to read it. This is my first Maisey Yates read, one I enjoyed. The setting and the characters just grabbed me from the get go; a gorgeous hero and a heroine who will not let herself to be wept away makes this a good read. Not to ...
Ok finished it quickly. I am not a huge fan of sheikh of the desert hero, nor of poor sacrificing-for-the-sake-of-her-country-citizens princess. However a good beauty and the beast story can work wonders. I said good.The sheikh of a country rich with oil lives in a palace. But when the heroine ar...
All most any woman who has a sister or sisters will tell you that even though you argue sometimes even to the point of hitting each other, yes it does happen, yet you always remain friends and you will always be there for each other. Sisterhood is a bond that simply cannot be broken. In the new M...
I absolutely adored this story. Evie was an incredible heroine: smart, capable, sexy in her own way, and the kind of person I'd love to hang out with. Caleb was a brilliantly twisted man and watching his character grow throughout the story is what moved this from a "we shouldn't be together" trop...
Austin he's a particular man and Katy is anything but his normal which I loved about this book with her he got the unexpected, "the fact that you were a virgin should have come up," he growled. "How the hell were you a virgin?" I mean the surprises with Katy that Austin gets keep on coming, "you ...
Unbuttoned is a great start to the Silver Creek Romance series. Lucas and Carly grew up together, not to mention he's her brother's best friend. It's always been the three of them because both sets of parents were crappy. Carly's dad always cheated on her mom, which resulted in screaming match...
From the gated entry to the sprawling Spanish-style mansion and the top-notch boarding and riding facilities. For one moment, one brief moment, Jack allowed himself to imagine what it might have been like to grow up here. To spend his days wandering across the manicured la...
It really didn’t seem fair. Rather than gaining five pounds around his hips like she had, his chest and shoulders had grown broader, his waist trim, his stomach washboard flat. It almost, almost, made her rue her addiction to the Loganberry tarts she stocked in the pastry display at The Grind. Al...
“You don’t like it?” He shrugged, his expression one of cool disinterest. “Buy what you like.” She fixed her gaze back on her reflection. Yes. She was going to buy what she liked. It didn’t matter what he thought, or what her mother’s personal shopper would say. The only thing that mattered was h...
Her hair was pinned perfectly into place again, her makeup covering her freckles. “Any plans for tonight?” she asked, her high heels clicking on the wooden floor as she moved across the room, keeping her distance from him as she settled onto the low couch. “We’re treating the board to a tradition...
Work had been hell. Colton had no desire to do either. What he’d wanted to do from the moment he’d left Lydia last night to the end of work today, was find her and drag her to his bedroom and explain to her—with his hands—exactly what they should be doing during this little enforced relationship....
But he would do his best. He had expected...something triumphant. Something about Layna’s bravery. About her beauty, at least her inner beauty, to grace the pages of the newspapers. But he was disappointed. There were before and after photos. Layna, young, radiant and gold...
Five days since she’d put his ring on her finger. It had been twenty-six days since he’d kissed her. Not that he was counting. He shouldn’t be counting anyway. Hard not to though, when just the thought of her was enough to tie him in knots. He couldn’t remember ever wanting a woman more. Worse, h...
It was a truth about himself he was certain of as he sat on his bedroom floor, his back pressed against the wall, staring into the darkness. This feeling was old. It was familiar. A yawning cavern that was desperate to be filled. And fill it he had done, for years. With al...
And for the fourth night in a row he told his chef to have dinner delivered to his room in an hour. And for the fourth night in a row, he picked Julia up and took her upstairs where he made the best use of that hour possible. Naked and beneath the covers. Then he answered the bedroom door in his ...
He would never get tired of it. Of the fact that it was his. Of the fact that he now owned a place he possessed total control over. Back in the compound, everything had been shared. Perhaps share was too generous a word. It had been fought over. There had been a serf class...
Blaise tipped his drink to his lips but didn’t take in any of the bubbly liquid. Alcohol and the buzz that came with it held little appeal to him. Losing control wasn’t his idea of fun. He watched as Ella talked to the small group of women that stood around her. She laughed, lifting up her foot s...
Slowly. It would never go away entirely. It was an impossibility. Guarding the life of another person twenty-four hours a day meant rest wasn’t optional. And there was no one else to whom he trusted Alys’s safety. Her old guards had missed a threat ...
Hair tied back. It had been a mere two weeks since she’d come here for the first time, but she was a different person. Damn him. His assistant opened the door and ushered her in, and it took a second after the girl had left for Serena to realise tha...
Twelve hours and his body was still infused with a rush of post-orgasm adrenaline. She had been incredible. Gorgeous, eager, uninhibited. And she only wanted the one time. Usually, the promise of one time would settle well with him. He wasn’t looking for commitment, not even close. But another ta...
Sure, she had alternately spent the night weeping and tossing and turning because she was aroused and wanted nothing more than to be touched by Gage again. Which was never going to happen, so her body needed to get over it. She felt refreshed, and much less dire in the lig...
Hana, one of the maids trusted with Angelina’s care, stood before him, wringing her hands. “She is not keeping any food down. Not all day.” “Do you think she needs a doctor?” he asked. Hana shrugged. “The doctor has been. He says as long as she does not lose too much weight…he says her sickness i...
SHE tilted her chin up, her hip cocked to the side, her eyes glittering. “I feel like I’ve been doing a lot of giving here lately. Not that you don’t...give admirably during our encounters—you do. But I feel like I’m the vulnerable one, so now it’s your turn. Get naked, Ajax.” &...
And not just a few tears, but the honest-to-God beginnings of a flash flood. She could feel the dams eroding, so much emotion building, pressing against the already-compromised structure, and she knew the minute it gave way, she was going to cry until she was dry inside. Because it had been build...
She’d been a fucking virgin. He was torn between an uncharacteristic bout of guilt and the searing, slow burn of regret one might feel after knocking back expensive bourbon in one swallow because you’d been under the illusion it was cheap. Not that he’d ever imagined Sarah was cheap. It was part ...
After the fight in the hospital, he hadn’t been expecting her to jump on his body, but then, there had been the kiss . . . Still, he’d basically been expecting her to go Orgasm Nazi on him. No sex for you. And, yeah, fair enough. &...
Because he didn’t deserve her blushes. He didn’t deserve her wanton fantasies and desires. And yeah, he had them, but as she’d discussed with Jill, sometimes that sort of thing just happened. But she was going to make a conscious decision to make sure it didn’t just keep h...
He hadn’t cared who’d seen them, if people would draw conclusions. He sort of hoped her parents would see them. Anyone who had ever ignored her. Hoped that they would see her out with someone who knew she was worthy of attention. Most people would look at them and assume nothing much. After all, ...
The entire town was going to think that they were...lovers. She had never had a lover. At least, she would never characterize the guy she’d slept with as a lover. He was an unfortunate incident. But fortunately, her hymen was the only casualty. Her heart had remained intact, and she was otherwise...
Matteo looked at Antonioni Battaglia and fought a wave of rage. The man had no idea who he was dealing with. Matteo was a Corretti, the capability to commit hideous acts was a part of his DNA. More than that, Matteo had actually done it before. Had embraced the violence. Both with cold precision,...
With responsibility. Anguish. Guilt. Nothing was ever simple. She’d made a hasty retreat through the less populated portion of the mansion, and had managed not to run into anyone beyond a few members of staff. A trick she’d learned during her last idiotic affair. That thought made her feel sick. ...
“You really did a great job planning the wedding.” Lucy smiled. “Thanks. Most of it was Carly’s idea, of course. I just executed it.” “But you did it perfectly.” Lucy’s heart expanded, love for Mac, for her life, almost overw...
He leaned back in his seat on his private plane and stared at the amber liquid in the tumbler on his tray. Turbulence was bouncing the alcohol around, sending the strong aroma into the air. He wasn’t tempted to take a drink. He didn’t drink, it was just that his flight attendant had heard about t...
Strange because she’d never given a lot of thought to her wedding day. Although, when her mind had wandered to the event she’d imagined—the very few times she’d imagined anything—a lot of color. Glitter, naturally. Having some friends and family present, no matter how fraught the relationship, wo...
Nothing. It was going to take a lot more alcohol tonight. To have some fun. To feel something. Either that, or it was going to take a woman. And since that was next on his agenda, he figured he might as well skip the alcohol. Alik pushed away from the bar and wove through the crush of bodies on t...
Well, not really because Melanie was tiny. But, there were a lot of knives in her kitchen. She’d looked borderline homicidal from the moment he walked into her house, and it had only gotten worse.“I had to explain why I was back in town. And my explanation was a bit abridged when my mom commented...
Even getting out of the car the next morning, business armor in the form of a sleek-fitting pair of slacks and a dark blue button-up shirt, she heard his words playing through her head. They’d sounded like a double entendre. Like he’d disregarded the previous portion of the conversation where she...
Marco asked incredulously. Elaine swallowed the bite she’d been working on and shrugged. “It looked good. Very salty,” she said, taking another bite and relishing the flavor. She’d declined the local favorite every other morning during their breakfast in bed sessions, but this morning it had look...
