SEDUCING THE PRINCESS - Diane Alberts



A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

He'll give her exactly what she needs…

Protecting a princess is not what former marine Gordon Waybrook signed up for when he joined the Shillings Agency. But instead of the spoiled, regal little creature he expects, Isabelle VanGuard is a fiery, sexy-as hell woman who's been denied what she needs for too long. And he's just the man to break through her frozen public facade and give it to her.

When she's with Gordon, all Isabelle can think about is pleasure. Their blistering chemistry is immediate and intense, but volatile. In fact, the only thing they agree on is that their one night together is just that—one night. Even after it becomes more. But tempers and temptation can't disguise reality. Isabelle is a princess, and a hot, hard, and tattooed bodyguard isn't the Prince Charming her country expects…even if he's exactly what she needs.




This was the perfect Sunday afternoon read for me. 

Princess Isabella goes to America to meet her intended, George, who incidentally reminded me of those grimy slime hand-toys kids use to slap against the walls. In my opinion of course. 

Her 'people' hire the Shillings Agency to protect her on her American visit. The hero in this book Gordon who works for Shillings,  gets assigned to her. He obviously takes his job serious as he guarded her body with expert precision. 

Gordon is an ex marine, inked up, dirty talking no nonsense guy. He makes up his mind before meeting Isabella about her and it was incredibly fun to watch him discover that he was very wrong. I can honestly say that I liked everything about this book. 

This is the first book I've read from Diane Alberts, so I need to rectify that immediately. It had the right amount of humor and romance and it worked in a big way. 

Right, I'm off to see about turning myself into a princess. I can do with some Gordon in my life. If only my dad owned a country it would be a lot easier, but I digress, he wanted to be a mechanic.

Il sesso a volte può essere una fuga, un mezzo per creare una realtà parallela, dove sentirsi vivi e smettere di pensare. E ciò che crede Stella che ogni tanto, nel fine settimana, prende un aereo e parte per una destinazione qualsiasi. Si ferma al bar dell'aeroporto e lì abborda uno sconosciuto per una notte di sesso anonimo e senza legami. Le sembra questo l'unico modo per alleggerire la tensione e le preoccupazioni della vita quotidiana. Finché un giorno, volando a Chicago per lavoro, incontra Matthew. Il sesso tra loro è esplosivo e si crea un'intimità intensa e nuova per entrambi. Ma le cose non sono semplici come possono sembrare. Stella e Matthew, infatti hanno un passato difficile con cui fare i conti e sentimenti con cui riconciliarsi.

SECOND DEBT (Indebted, #3) - Pepper Winters

ebook (3)

Title: Second Debt (Indebted, #3)Author: Pepper WintersGenre: Dark EroticaRelease Date: Early 2015

goodreads

“I tried to play a game. I tried to wield deceit as perfectly as the Hawks. But when I thought I was winning, I wasn’t. Jethro isn’t what he seems—he’s the master of duplicity. However, I refuse to let him annihilate me further.”




Nila Weaver has grown from naïve seamstress to full-blown fighter. Every humdrum object is her arsenal, and sex…sex is her greatest weapon of all.

She’s paid the First Debt. She’ll probably pay more.

But she has no intention of letting the Hawks win.



Jethro Hawk has found more than a worthy adversary in Nila—he’s found the woman who could destroy him. There’s a fine line between hatred and love, and an even finer path between fear and respect.

The fate of his house rests on his shoulders, but no matter how much ice lives inside his heart, Nila flames too bright to be extinguished.

Debt Inheritance (Indebted #1) Available Now: Amazon | iBooks

“I own you. I have the piece of paper to prove it. It’s undeniable and unbreakable. You belong to me until you’ve paid off your debts.”


Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Being the first born daughter, her life is forfeit to the first born son of the Hawks to pay for sins of ancestors past. The dark ages might have come and gone, but debts never leave. She has no choice in the matter.

She is no longer free.

Jethro Hawk receives Nila as an inheritance present on his twenty-ninth birthday. Her life is his until she’s paid off a debt that’s centuries old. He can do what he likes with her—nothing is out of bounds—she has to obey.

There are no rules. Only payments.

First Debt (Indebted #2) Available Now: Amazon | iBooks

“You say I’ll never own you. If I win—you willingly give me that right. You sign not only the debt agreement, but another—one that makes me your master until your last breath is taken. You do that, and I’ll give you this.”


Nila Weaver’s family is indebted. Stolen, taken, and bound not by monsters but by an agreement written over six hundred years ago, she has no way out.

She belongs to Jethro as much as she denies it.

Jethro Hawk’s patience is running out. His inheritance gift tests, challenges, and surprises him—and not in good ways. He hasn’t leashed her but he thinks he might’ve found a way to bind her forever.

Debts are mounting. Payment waiting.

Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn’t it change its spots and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn’t want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one stunning arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it’s easy to hit bottom when it’s the place you know best.

Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner’s life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends she’s trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can’t stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.

A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

Collana: Fantasy
Genere: M/F – per tutti
Formato: pdf, epub, mobi
Trama: 1450. La giovane Amber sfugge dalla grinfie del crudele barone Lord Shamter, invaghitosi di lei, e viene soccorsa da una donna di nome Cassandra, Sacerdotessa di Avalon.
Grazie all’aiuto della Sacerdotessa, Amber scopre di possedere il dono della Vista. Sarà proprio grazie a questo dono che la giovane scoprirà il triste destino che incombe su di un neonato, frutto della violenza di Shamter.
Esiste solo un modo per sottrarre il piccolo alla sua triste sorte: portarlo dalla nonna paterna, che vive in un monastero.
Amber affronta quindi un lungo viaggio, scortata da Robert, un bandito, e dai suoi compagni. Il viaggio di andata, però, non sarà privo di pericoli, così come non lo sarà il viaggio di ritorno che Amber affronta a fianco di David, figlio del barone Richard Windom.
Sarà attraverso una delle sue visioni che Amber scoprirà il triste passato di David, un passato che li porterà ad avvicinarsi sempre più e a decidere di liberarsi una volta per tutte dell’influenza di Shamter.
Ma, mentre i due giovani cercano di smascherare il perfido barone, Amber si troverà a combattere tra la vita e la morte e a fare i conti con la verità sulla propria nascita.


RAZED - Shiloh Walker




Tattoo artist Keelie Jessup can handle that someone else has claimed the man of her dreams. She’s just not pleased with her remaining options…


Keelie doesn’t believe in the “perfect man.” But the men who are worth the trouble are usually taken—like her business partner Zach Barnes. After a string of bad luck and the lost chance with Zach, Keelie decides that maybe flying solo—and living with suppressed desires—is the key to happiness.



As a photographer, Zane Barnes has an eye for the human form, and his eyes can’t get enough of Keelie’s curves. Unfortunately, Keelie is like most women—always fawning over his little brother, Zach. Zane is about ready to give up, but then a few stolen moments at his brother’s wedding have him thinking maybe there’s a chance there after all. Now he just has to prove that the perfect man does exist…for her.

It's every man for themselves as each have their own secret agenda, including Julianna, whose plan is simple: survive.

Inghilterra, 1487/1499 - Alicia Broom, la bellissima figlia di un umile orafo, è stata promessa in sposa all'attraente e oltremodo riservato Thomas, IX Conte di Thornbury, detto il Lupo dei Cavendish.

Nemmeno il matrimonio riesce a fugare i suoi dubbi, tanto che lei inizia a sospettare che il giovane conte l'abbia sposata soltanto per proteggerla dalle rappresaglie di Enrico VII, che ha giurato di eliminare tutti i discendenti dei Plantageneti. http://bit.ly/1ykOAY8
