Kinley MacGregor: Born in Sin

Born in Sin is the third book of the MacAllisters series by Kinley MacGregor.

Sin MacAllister is the most deadly brother and he cherishes the way he frightens everyone. He was tossed away by both his parents and forced to live with their enemy at a young and impressionable age. He has never know love or any other silly emotion. Sin despises Scotland and everything Highland.

Caledonia (Callie) MacNeely is a Scottish heir. She has been running her late fathers keep for years. She is independent, brave and loyal to anyone she holds dear. She loves with her whole heart.

Brief Description:

Callie is being held prisoner by King Henry to insure peace between the borders of his English and Scottish lands. King Henry devises a plan to wed Callie and Sin and force the raiders of his English lands to be punished by Sin. Callie knows that she is honor bound to protect her people by sacrificing herself to this marriage.

Favorite Quotes: 

“Sin smiled evilly. In the last nine years, he had been excommunicated five times. The pope himself referred to Sin as Satan’s Most Favored Spawn.”  

“Do you have a name?” she asked. “Since you claim to know me so well, you tell me.” “Well, I’m rather sure you mother didn’t name you Demon Butcher, Satan’s Spawn, or King’s Executioner.” “S-I-N. As in conceived in, born in, and currently living happily in.”

Review:

I absolutely love Kinley MacGregor and she has done it again. Sin is my favorite brother by far. He shows such strength in all he does but gentleness toward Callie. Callie’s loyalty was unwavering towards Sin. She feel in love almost from the begining. 

 

I give this book 5 of 5 Stilettos for its well loved characters and its heartbreaking tales of childhood horrors.

The Pact of Seduction has one rule—fulfill your ultimate fantasy. Bella’s problem, she can’t live up to her vow. But her failure spins events that lead her into unknown territory. Kole, a Dom at the sex club Castle Dolce Vita, wasn’t part of her fantasy, but he’s about to show her he should have been.

Kole is more than willing to introduce Bella to BDSM since he’s held an interest in her for some time. But the feisty woman isn’t easily tamed and her strong personality proves to be difficult. While she might be determined to keep him at a distance, Kole has other ideas. He won’t allow her to shut him out.

A pact between best friends brought them together, emotional barriers tear them apart. Kole skillfully reminds Bella through pleasure and punishment that she is now his submissive, and her place is under his command.

Wendy Soliman: The Perfect Impostor

The Perfect Impostor by Wendy Soliman

Who better to foil your plans as an Impostor then man who loved your best friend?

Katrina Sinclair is by no means the best liar and anyone who has ever met her can see right through her. When her best friend blackmails her into attending a ball impersonating her, she has no choice but to oblige. Katrina is convinced that if she helps Julia that she will become well know as a modiste and her dress making career will take off. Little does she know that Julia’s ex-fiancé will be attending the same ball.

Leo Kincade has been assigned a top secret mission of outing a theft ring among the rich. He is well established in this society as he is the duke’s brother.  He knows at first meeting that Katrina isn’t who she pretends to be, but the mysterious woman stirs an attraction stronger than anything he has ever felt.

Excerpt:

She suppressed a sigh. All in all, what had once seemed like a modestly attainable ambition was starting to feel like wading through quicksand. She couldn’t carry on for much longer, existing upon nothing more than implacable determination and the good will of others.

But Julia could change all that simply by wearing some of her more pioneering designs and making sure they were remarked upon by the people who mattered. Lady Marshall’s ball would be the sparkling culmination to the most sought-after of the summer’s house parties. The Duchess of Southport was to attend, and invitations were eagerly anticipated by society’s elite

Wendy Soliman is a new to me author that has risen to the front of my regency collection. Her characters chemistry was riveting and I couldn’t wait to see what they would do next. She kept me on the edge of my seat and I wasn’t expecting the twist at the end. Let’s just say it was truly shocking for that time period.

All in all I give this book a 3.5 of 5. The only concern I had was the length. It seemed to drag in some areas but others I couldn’t turn the page fast enough.

Elisabeth Naughton: Enraptured

Enraptured by Elisabeth Naughton is the 4th book in the Eternal Guardians series.

 

What do a Siren and a Daemon Hybrid have in common? Nothing, until you through in a little LOVE.

Skyla is a Siren. The Order of the Sirens are female warriors trained by the Goddess Athena. They are often times described as X-rated Barbie’s with deadly skills. Her internal motto is “Duty has saved you “. She has been sent by Zeus on a sacred mission to kill Orpheus. Little does she know how wrong her mission really is…

Orpheus is a Half-Daemon Hybrid with the social skills of a bear. He has the markings of the Argonauts, but isn’t claimed as one. He is arrogant and conceited but has the charm to get just about anyone he wants. From the first moment Orpheus meets Skyla he begins to have flashbacks of another life. He doesn’t understand them and certainly doesn’t want them. He gets terrible black outs and is confused by the feelings that he is beginning to have for Skyla.

Excerpt:

He pressed a hand against the wall and leaned in close. Until the heat from her skin slid over his and the beat of her heart was all he could hear. “I want to know who the hell you really are. And I want to know what your being here has to do with me.”

Oh Lord, talk about Spicy. I was fanning myself before the first 50 pages were over. Naughton’s hot and steamy romance makes for a read you just want to devour. She is quickly becoming one of my go to authors. I would give this book 5 of 5 for its total hotness. You can check out the author at www.elisabethnaughton.com .
