Everything And The Moon by Julia Quinn
 
Synopsis....
 
STARCROSSED It was indisputably love at first sight. But Victoria Lyndon was merely the teen aged daughter of a vicar. . .while Robert Kemble was the dashing young earl of Macclesfield. Surely what their meddlesome fathers insisted must have been true-that he was a reckless seducer determined to destroy her innocence. . . and she was a shameless fortune hunter. So it most certainly was for the best when their plans to elope went hopelessly awry.

MOONSTRUCK Even after a seven-year separation, Victoria-now a governess-still leaves Robert breathless. But how could he ever again trust the raven-haired deceiver who had shattered his soul? And Victoria could never give her heart a second time to the cad who so callously trampled on it the first. But a passion fated will not be denied, and vows of love yearn to be kept. . . even when one promises the moon.
 
I reviewed this book back in August of 2009 and my review can be seen here... Everything And The Moon

A-Z Wednesday.....on Thursday

Well, at least I am consistant. Next week I hope that I will actually post A-Z Wednesdays on, well, Wednesday. Anyway, let's just pretend it is Wednesday! This fun weekly meme is hosted originally by Reading at the Beach and I adopted it. The rules are as follows...

I actually have two books that I hope to read this week that fits into this meme. But will only highlight one......
Dangerous Highlander by Donna Grant
First in a breathtaking new series, the bold and passionate Lucan MacLeod—one of three brothers cursed by dark magic for eternity—is driven by desire for the one woman he dare not let himself possess… He is magnificently strong—and dangerously seductive. One of the fiercest of his clan, Lucan MacLeod is a legend among warriors, inspiring fear in man and woman alike. For three hundred years, he has locked himself away from the world, hiding the vengeful god imprisoned in his soul. But then, a young lass caught in a raging storm awakens his deepest impulses…and darkest desires. Cara doesn’t believe the rumors about MacLeod castle—until the majestic Highland warrior appears like a fiery vision in the storm, pulling her into his powerful arms, and into his world of magic and Druids. An epic war between good and evil is brewing. And Lucan must battle his all-consuming attraction for Cara—or surrender to the flames of a reckless, impossible love that threatens to destroy them both…


You can by the book here....Dangerous Highlander

What excites me so much about this book is that it has several of my very favorite aspects when it comes to romance. Paranormal, historical and yummy Highlanders. It has wonderful potential!

A-Z Wednesday....on Friday

So I didn't get a chance to post my A-Z Wednesday so I am a couple days late but wanted to continue with this meme for fear it would crash and burn and only in it's 3rd week here on my blog. Anyway, here is some info on the meme....

Technically this was started by another blogger (her link is located in the directions below) and I like it so much I decided to "borrow" the idea. So I give her props and high fives on the idea and make sure you take a look at her blog. She has such interesting things to see there.

Fabulous right? So without any more hesitation I bring you this week's letter....C

I chose Causing Havoc by Lori Foster for this week's book. I read this book last month. Normally I might have chosen one I haven't read yet but I read this one not that long ago and thought it was super fabulous.

You can purchase the book at amazon here.

Description from Shelfari....
Orphaned and torn from his sisters as a boy, sexy extreme wrestler Dean "Havoc" Conor gets a letter revealing how much his siblings want him back in Harmony, Kentucky. To stop his sister from marrying a sleazeball, Dean finds himself teaming up with her pretty-but-smart-mouthed friend Eve-who's heard of Havoc's reputation and doesn't need some hunk trampling on her heart. Now all Dean has to do is protect his sisters, win Eve over, and expose a devious criminal. And he thought winning the heavyweight belt was hard.

Ok so, now that the directions are out of the way...the letter of the week is..."B"



Blood Sins by Kay Hooper

Synopsis courtesy of Shelfari...
Some sins can’t be forgiven… because some sins no one survives. New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper has touched our darkest fears but none so dark as in her latest thriller. Here’s a psychopath who lures his victims with a promise no one can resist…and demands a price no one would knowingly pay. Young, vulnerable, attractive, Tessa Gray made the perfect victim. Which was why Noah Bishop of the FBI’s Special Crimes Unit recruited her to play the role of grieving widow. As the supposed new owner of property coveted by the Church of the Everlasting Sin, she’d be irresistible bait for the reclusive and charismatic Reverend Samuel. His fortified compound in the mountains near Grace, North Carolina, had been the last known residence of two women murdered in ways that defied scientific explanation. Though hardly as naive or as vulnerable as she appears, Tessa knows she has a lot to learn about using her unique gift. She also knows that Bishop and the SCU have to be desperate to rely on an untried psychic agent in an undercover operation so dangerous. And desperate they are. For the killer they’re hunting is the most terrifying they’ve ever faced and shakes even the most seasoned agents: a soulless megalomaniacal cult leader who can use their own weapons, talents, and tactics against them. By entering the cult’s well-guarded compound, Tessa will be exposing herself to the dark magnetism of a psychopath on an apocalyptic crusade of terror that spares no one, not even the youngest victims. And Samuel has protected himself within a fanatically loyal congregation, many of whom occupy surprising positions of power within the community. Even Grace’s chief of police, Sawyer Cavenaugh—a man Tessa will have to trust with her life—may be unable to protect her. Because no one, not even Tessa herself, can guarantee she’s strong enough to resist—or powerful enough to battle—a killer who’s less than human.

My book for the week is


synopsis courtesy of Amazon.com


Four years ago, Air Force sweethearts Franci Duncan and Sean Riordan reached an impasse. She wanted marriage and a family. He didn't. But a chance meeting proves that the bitter breakup hasn't cooled their sizzling chemistry.
Sean has settled down in spite of himself—he's not the cocky young fighter pilot he was when Franci left, and he wants them to try again. After all, they have a history…but that's not all they share.
Franci's secret reason for walking away when Sean refused to commit is now three and a half: a redheaded cherub named Rosie who shares her daddy's emerald-green eyes. Sean is stunned—and furious with Franci for the deception.
News travels fast in Virgin River, and soon the whole town is taking sides. Rebuilding their trust could take a small miracle—and the kind of love that can move mountains

I haven't started reading this book yet. I am still listening to Shelter Mountain book 2 in the series and just started Forbidden Falls. I am hoping to get to this book by the end of the week though so I can add my thoughts to the book here. On my very first A-Z Wednesday.

A-Z Wednesday



Ok, I know it isn't actually Wednesday but sometimes I can't get online everyday and have to post when I can (hence the mass posting on some days and then days go by with absolutely nothing) So this is what I found on Socrates' blog...by the way...her blog is super and worth a peek.

THIS WEEKS LETTER IS: "T "


So, looking at my TBR Mountain this is my chosen book for the week.


The Touch of Fire by Linda Howard
Description provided by shelfari......
Annie Parker came to Silver Mesa, Arizona, because it was the only place she'd found where folks thought a woman doctor was better than no doctor at all. Her lonely life became harder still on the winter night Rafe McCay broke into her office with a bullet in his side and a bounty hunter at his back. With a gun aimed at her heart, he led her deep into the Arizona mountains, and into a world of danger and passion, for Annie discovered in Rafe not only a wounded man, but a soul betrayed...and Rafe, healed by her skill and the magic in her hands, awakened in Annie a woman's tender longing and hungry desire. Pursued by dangerous secrets of the past, they are swept into a thrilling odyssey of the heart -- a bold, exhilarating journey that rekindles Rafe's lost hope and transforms Annie's healing gift into a deep, enduring love.
I hope to start this within the next couple days. I have really enjoyed most of the books I read by Howard so I am looking forward to this one.
