This book is different from any romance story I have read before. I read the first 80 pages without even noticing I went so far in reading! The story line is captivating. You can't help but continue reading to discover how the protagonist managed to make Jane fall for him. More importantly, the story helps us have a new perspective on the mystery of love. Brillant! I highly recommend this book to both men and women who want to discover hidden aspects of love while enjoying a wonderful story.

This story was spellbinding. I call it a Page Turner!!  It was deliciously erotic, but very tastefully so. This story will make you wish your love story was half as hot and romantic as that of Alex and Lucas! I can't wait for the next in the series.

I don't usually enjoy reading romantic books but I'm glad I gave this one a go! It's the type of story that once you start reading it you just can't stop. Sofia, a woman of a certain age, is full of life and instantly lovable. Although at times rather nave, she is very strong rather quick tongued and extremely witty.  The book takes us to various countries India, Italy, Moscow, Miami where Sofia tries to navigate her personal life with that of the handsome Alessandro.  She introduces us to her family and her friends while we keep track of Alessandro's healthy love life! Sofia's willingness to love again after two broken marriages is admirable. She has achieved much through hard work and if she's not careful .......I particularly enjoyed this book because of its relevance to reality.
I just hope the author keeps writing.

This was quite a story of a beautiful couple's romantic and perfect love story suddenly "GONE" crazy and spun dangerously out of control. A "Who Dunne it? And how was it Dunne?  Colorful characters and their background histories were very thoroughly explained. Most appeared as normal, even after revealing disfunctional family situations, that are believable. Gillian Flynn is masterful at keeping the reader mystified and intrigued and baffled right to the last page. I loved the journey! Jkj

I was very kindly provided with a copy of The Pennington Christmas Curse for an honest review.

After having read Kaelia Awakening and instantly falling in love with Gina Dickerson's magical style of weaving a spellbinding storyline I was in no doubt that this one would be no exception. What I wasn't expecting was to be absolutely floored by it, it is an absolutely enchanting book that left me sat up until the early hours for just one more chapter. And another...

The story centres around Iysobel and Ziema, sisters who are always there for each other no matter how much they bicker throughout their lives! We begin with the loss of both their parents when they are still babies so they are subsequently raised by their Grandmother. On and off throughout their younger years they have freak occurrences of unexplainable events but once it's over it's almost swept under the rug and forgotten about. Until they reach early adulthood and then suddenly there's no hiding from the truth anymore, magic does exist. With the help of the sexy and mysterious Coleman but more importantly each other, will they find a way to make sense of the new world laid at their feet?

Without wanting to give away all the twists and turns of the storyline and ruining the magic of the story for people, all I will say is that this is a thoroughly captivating book and it was an absolute pleasure to be able to curl up on a dark, wintery night and to be able to be completely immersed in the world that Gina has written. From the funny moments, the romance warm enough to make you feel all toasty inside and the believable make believe tale of spells and magical lands that gave me a feeling of being a young girl again, immersed in Disney princesses and fairy tale books. It has the perfect combination of everything. Combine that with the flawless way that it is has been written and the story just flows from page to page. I highly recommended this book to everyone who loves romance, magic and mystery and especially to any woman who wants to reminisce about being young again and believing in true love, huge castles and mystical animals. Thank you so much to Gina Dickerson for helping me recapture a little of my youth. Now I'm off to watch Sleeping Beauty!

"You could still be a stalker. A weirdo stalker with crazy winter magic!"

"If I were just a stalker, would I know what happened to you in that room all of those years ago?"

"Yes" Iysobel hissed. "Stalkers know things about their victims; the clues in the word stalking!"

A spellbinding, intriguing and wonderfully compelling Regency romance tempered with humor and poignancy, Never Trust a Rake is another outstanding novel by the fabulous Annie Burrows!

A kiss under the mistletoe with her childhood friend Richard was all it had taken for Henrietta Gibson to convince herself that he was madly in love with her! When Richard left the tiny village of Much Wakering for the Season in London, Henrietta was absolutely distraught - until her eccentric father had decided that the time had come for his only daughter to see more of the world. Henrietta had been sent off to London to stay with old friends of her father she had never met before. Whilst in town, Henrietta hoped to find Richard and confess about the depth of her feelings for him. But when she does finally manage to track him down, Henrietta realizes that Richard has changed. Her childhood friend has become an awful snob who is embarrassed by her and mortified by her unworldly ways. With her time in London turning into one great disaster, Henrietta found herself in tears at a ball given by one of the ton's most prominent hostesses. But little did she realize that she was about to catch the eye of one of London's most eligible - and most notorious! - bachelors: Lord Deben!

Lord Deben's lascivious exploits have been scandalizing the ton for years! A man with a colossal sexual appetite who has charmed legions of women into his bed, Lord Deben has never had any inclination to marry - until now! Whereas he had previously had a penchant for married women and lonely widows, Lord Deben has now turned his attentions to seducing virgins - and his attention has been piqued by the feisty Miss Gibson! Although Lord Deben was not looking to marry for love, he soon finds himself unable to stop thinking about the unconventional Miss Gibson! Whereas every single debutante in London - and their ambitious social-climbing mamas - is desperate to win his favor, Miss Gibson seems to be doing her utmost to give him as wide a berth as possible! Her spurning of his advances is only serving to increase his ardour and making him even more determined to make her his bride!

Having had her heart already broken once before, Henrietta is not about to run the risk of getting hurt a second time - especially by a notorious womanizer like Lord Deben! However, the more time Henrietta spends with him, the more she realizes that there's more to him than meets the eye...

Will Henrietta take a chance on love? And will Lord Deben open up to the woman he has fallen madly in love with about events from his past which he'd rather forget? Or will his fear of letting anyone get close to the real him ruin his last chance of happiness?

Annie Burrows is a star of the Harlequin Historical line who writes with plenty of flair and style about the Regency era. A talented writer who never fails to capture 19th century England deftly and adroitly, in Never Trust a Rake, she has once again penned an outstanding historical romance that would make Georgette Heyer proud. Funny, tender, dramatic and moving, Never Trust a Rake is an engrossing tale about courage, hope and the power of love that I found absolutely impossible to put down!

I loved Henrietta who was brave, intrepid and didn't suffer fools gladly and Lord Deben was a sexy hero with a wicked sense of humor that made him strictly irresistible!

A first class historical romance that will make you laugh and cry, Never Trust a Rake deserves a place on everybody's keeper shelf!

A LOVE REBORN. The author so cleverly and seamlessly intertwined the three characters from the past to present in such a magical, yet remarkably brilliant way.  The love and passion between the characters is so powerful it transends time.  The author captivated my interest from the beginning and I could not put it down. I love the magic, mystery, romance, passion, love and yes the sex. This is the most satisfying novel I have read in a very long time! I would highly recommend this book. I now must read her other novel, Heart of the Druae.

I could not put this book down. Enchantment of a Highlander is a fast paced, romantic novel that grabs you at the first page and keeps your attention until the very end.

Alec is such a strong and caring man but he can't see his own worth. He fears becoming like his father. Celia can see Alec's goodness and worth but it's going to take some work to convince him. Because of Celia's fears it is going to take time for her to trust Alec to protect her. She fears letting Alec, Duncan and Wynda get close to her and into her heart. The inner struggles and physical hardships they will have to endure had me cheering for them and booing the bad guys for their relentless hatreds and misconceptions.

I love this book! Madeline Martin has done it again.
