The Spaniard's Defiant Virgin (Harlequin Presents) ReviewMarcos Ramirez is truly a "dark angel"! This Spanish alpha is to die for, he's angry, he's seeking revenge and yet he has a protective and extremely sexy side, he'll melt your heart.
Tasmin is misunderstood by the press and all of London. She's been deemed a wild heiress, a flirt and a spoiled beauty and actually she's none of these.....she's got a secret and she'll do anything that has to be done to protect a family member. When Tasmin is kidnapped by the "dark angel" she realizes she is indeed in trouble because if she doesn't follow her step brother's instructions to marry the nephew of the sheikh to save the family business, she'll not only be on the receiving end of his wrath she'll not be able to protect her ten year old sister from her families abuse.
Marcos is seeking revenge, revenge for the loss of his family due to the Winters family greed and that of Aziz the nephew of the sheikh. He kidnaps Tasmin and is seeking revenge and plans to ruin Aziz and Tasmin's brother's business. What neither of them counts on is their strong attraction for each other and in the end they act upon it and can't seem to stay away from each other.
When the time comes to set the revenge plan in motion, everything is turned upside down. You will be holding your breath during the last few chapters, trying to figure out the outcome. Trust me, it's thrilling, full of suspense and passion, pleasure and you'll be shedding some tears as well. It's a lesson for all to learn......leave the past behind and look towards the future and thanks to Jennie Lucas and The Spaniard's Defiant Virgin one will see how Marcos gives up revenge for love.

Kiss Me While I Sleep (Howard, Linda) ReviewIn "Kiss Me While I Sleep," Linda Howard has returned to the world of John Medina and Niemi Burdock, the world of covert intelligence operations and contract killers. She has also returned to the theme she explored in "Cry No More," the trauma of a parent who has lost a child.
Lily Mansfield is a contract killer for the CIA, 37 years old, with 19 years of experience. She is also a grieving parent whose 13-year-old, adopted daughter has recently been killed, along with her foster parents who were Lily's best friends. Lily has set out to kill the man who ordered the hit on Zia and her foster parents, and to wreck as much havoc as she can on his organization. She is doing this without the CIA's sanction; in fact, they have sent one of their top agents, Lucas Swain, to stop her.
Sound grim? It isn't. Lucas Swain is not only an alpha hunk, he is also one funny guy. I found myself chuckling at Swain's opinions and actions, whether it was his thoughts on "chick food" or his views on Fiats. (He hates 'em.) The man went through more cars than Stephanie Plum.
If "Cry No More" had a fairly straightforward plot, that must have been because Howard was saving all her twists and turns for "Kiss Me While I Sleep." Just when you think you understand all Lily's and Swain's schemes and counter-schemes, Howard gives the plot a twist, and you realize you've been led down the garden path. Again.
All in all, a delightful read with a sexy hero and heroine, a serious examination of a parent's grief, and a plot that will have your head spinning. Highly recommended.Kiss Me While I Sleep (Howard, Linda) Overview

Me, Myself and Why ReviewMe Myself and Why by MaryJanice Davidson
This is the first book in a new trilogy by Ms Davidson and it features Cadence Jones a not so typical FBI agent, who just happens to have a multiple personality disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder. No, not your usual comedic romance plot lines. But then again this IS MaryJanice Davidson we're talking about. She is the one who was able to turn forced sex (MJD did acknowledge this to be a rape scene) into a semi-series Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance, Vol. 6 and the participants into semi-recurring characters in her Betsy Queen of the Vampires books. So if anyone can take a politically incorrect theme and turn it into an interesting story it's MaryJanice Davidson.
Unfortunately I had a very difficult time finding anything humorous about an FBI agent with three very different personalities. The personalities range from namby- pamby (Cadence) to down right violent (Adrienne) and smartly manipulative (Shiro). Granted this is a branch of the FBI that can only come out of Ms Davidson's very fertile imagination, as it also houses pickpockets, sociopaths, psychopaths and other diverse and rather unfunny characters. And the idea that the FBI would use mentally damaged people because if you weren't already mentally unstable, working the job would make you so, made sense in a twisted sort of way.
The story itself was clever was not difficult to read. What I DID have a problem with was keeping track of which personality I was reading about at the moment. We would start out with Cadence being in the forefront; her conversation or thought would stop half way through and we would be on to Shiro. I did not really understand what was going on in between some of the chapters...who I was reading about until the end I thought it was the killers' ramblings, but once you know who the killer is you realize that isn't possible.
The romance was weak and felt somewhat cut and pasted in. Although it's a nice thought that someone with these kinds of problems would attract a man like that and it makes sense that his upbringing was around his sister who also suffered from a mental issue so he would be familiar and comfortable with a woman with mental health problems. I didn't like his manipulative ways with Cadence. and I found myself waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm wondering just what the next two books are going to involve.

This Heart of Mine ReviewThe best writer of contemporary romances proves that she is still at the top of her game in "This Little Heart of Mine." Susan Elizabeth Phillips plays matchmaker for two characters from some of her previous popular novels: Molly Somerville (Phoebe's little sister from "It Had to Be You") and Kevin Tucker (the Star's backup quarterback from "Nobody's Baby but Mine"). Molly is all grown up and is supporting herself as an author of children's books. Problem is, her personal life is non-existent. Kevin is now the Stars' superstar quarterback, but he hasn't allowed himself to have much of a life outside of football. Both are feeling restless and dissatisfied, and when they accidentally spend a weekend together, the results are disastrous. Kevin comes away thinking that Molly is a flat-out kook, and Molly is left emotionally battered. Thanks to some more unusual circumstances, they end up running a bed and breakfast Kevin has most unwillingly inherited. OK, so far this all sounds like nonsense, but trust me, Phillips makes it work. The characters are richly drawn and quite charming. Not only does SEP add a lot of humor (you will laugh out loud), but she also creates a wonderfully tender and sweet romance that manages to avoid being sappy and cloying. I was particularly impressed with the way she was able to intertwine Molly's children's books into the narrative without making them annoying distractions. If you only buy one contemporary romance this year, this should be the one.This Heart of Mine Overview
