Blurb/Summary:

Gabriella Vicelli is a mafia princess working for an ultra-secret division of the FBI. Fiercely independent, she hates being told what to do.

Lane Hamilton is a former FBI undercover agent who infiltrated the mob, and is now in charge of Gabriella’s activities. He hates operatives who refuse to obey orders.

The two must work together when one of the men she has sent to prison, escapes with vengeance on his mind. Lane’s mission is to keep Gabriella safe. Gabriella wants to put away one more mobster before her cover is blown.

Lane and Gabriella discover they have more in common than they imagined. Love and desire intertwine with constant danger and a mobster’s revenge. Both have secrets that may get them killed. Can Lane and Gabriella survive long enough to fulfill their dreams for a future together?

Review:

All in the Family is definitely an interesting, fast paced action romance.

The heroine is of a different sort. Gabriella is sassy, feisty, and has one heck of a mind. She swears like you wouldn't believe, but underneath all the hard-core, there is a woman who's known tragedy.

The relationship between Gabriella and the hero is sometimes a love/hate, especially on her end, but in all made for a great romance. The suspense is high and the tension is thick.

I enjoyed this book very much. I stayed up in to the early hours of the morning just to finish this. This is my first book I've read by Suzanne Rossi, but this surely won't be my last.

Blurb/Summary:

When a harried caretaker with no spare time hires a soulful builder who’s willing to take the time, he fixes more than she bargains for. Jilly is a New Orleans daycare aide by day and by night an errand-running caretaker to the three quirky aunts who raised her. What Jilly doesn’t have time for is a man who wants more than she can spare.

Zack is a brawny carpenter who works for his father’s construction company. He’s attracted to Jilly but wants the real deal when it appears all she has time for is a slam-bam-thank-you-man relationship. Will his patience and persistence gain him the time he needs to win her trust and her heart? Or will her aunts’ stop his clock with a voodoo hex?

Review:

Loving Jilly is a contemporary, sweet, wonderfully written story.

The characters are very likeable, from the heroine, Jilly, to her quirky aunts. It seemed like every time Jilly and Zack tried to have a date, or get together, someone, or something, got in the way.

This story is heart-warming, touching, and funny. A light but very pleasurable read. I had a smile on my face after the last page was finished. Laugh out loud fun!

If Sylvie Kaye isn't on your list of authors to read, you might want to add her now, and start with Loving Jilly- don't miss it!

Blurb/Summary:

Lost in the heart of Africa, Filipe is shocked to discover a beautiful maiden locked away in a stone tower prison. Taken with her innocent beauty and desperate plight, he vows to help Rapunzel but is soon trapped by his own unrelenting desire to have her. His fiery desire gives way to guilty pleasures, but Filipe can't accept Rapunzel's innocent declaration of love. Heartbroken, Rapunzel follows Filipe's plan for escape but nothing goes as predicted. Can Rapunzel convince Filipe her love is true and their destinies are intertwined?

Review:

Nichelle Gregory did a fantastic job of bringing the fairy tale of Rapunzel to life. Granted, it was a hot, erotic, R-rated version, but that’s what made this so fun!

The witch in her story was truly vile and easy to dislike. Rapunzel’s hero Filipe is tall, dark and handsome, but he doesn’t act like a “prince charming.”

Nichelle Gregory’s vivid descriptions have the reader glued to the pages. This is a short story that can be read in a night, which is good since you won’t want to stop.

As with any fairy tale, it just wouldn’t feel right without a happily-ever-after, which we get with this story. Rapunzel’s story reminds us that, through love all things are possible.

Blurb/Summary:

Betrayal and a broken heart have made Zaralyn determined to avoid romance at all costs. A chance rescue outside a nightclub by the mysterious Gideon Nite challenges her resolution and her heart.

Gideon is attracted to Zaralyn from the moment he sees her, but how can he prove he’s worth trusting when he has so much to hide? What starts out as simple attraction spirals out of control when it becomes clear their lives are in danger. Because nothing is simple – even Gideon isn’t what he seems. He is a human with a twist – one of those who for centuries have been misunderstood and labeled ‘Vampyre’.

How can she love a man who isn't a man at all, especially when a killer is marking them for death?

Review:

A word in the title really sums this story- twist.

This isn't a normal vampyre story. One that definitely had a twist to it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The hero intrigued me the moment he appeared in the book.

I loved Gideon and Zara. Good paced suspense kept me reading until the end.

I'm definitely glad that I picked up this book to read. Louise Delamore writes a paranormal tale that will have you wanting more, and quite satisfied after the end.

An author to watch out for! Want a different take on a vampyre story, then definitely read Human With A Twist!
