I will wait until after the story synopsis to explain my grade of this book. Danika is a self reliant and independent woman. She just wants a man to be nice to her and not lose her heart to. Oh, and a man to give her an orgasm. Sam is the Bradford male. He’s a paramedic, good looking and a pleaser of the ladies in the bedroom. He overhears Danika and her sisters talking at a bar one night and decides, sight unseen, to be the man to help her, in the orgasm department. No ego here, he’s just that good.

There were some things about this story that I liked quite a bit. I like all the characters, the humor(that made me laugh out loud more than a few times),  and the build up was nice. It just took to long and my interest started to wane. And you need to have sex before being 67% into a book. I just can’t handle that.

I think part of my problem is that I read a novella earlier this year as a free read about his family that I loved. It was kind of a sequel to the series and it was hot. Ms. Nicholas’ stories aren’t bad stories just a little bit too much teasing for me.

Ah…the siren call of a free book. There is just something abut the whole freeness that calls to me. Of course I typically end up disappointed, but every once in a while I stumble across a gem. To the Princess Bound by Sara King is just one of those gems. 

A sci fi romnce…gotta love the ability to completely alter a world to suit your storyline needs, right? Princess Victory was captured, tortured, and raped for six years. Now back at home she is terrified of all males. Her ass of a father decides that to get her over her fear, he is going to chain her to the biggest slave they can find.

Enter Dragomir, a native emp…someone who can heal with their mind. Dragomir is taken from his home and chained to Victory. Then he discovers that he and Victory are soul mates…have shared dozens upon dozens of past lives…and he can heal her… if he can get her to trust him.

While definitely a romance, it is not terribly steamy. Only a few kisses before the last few chapters of the book. While that might normally bother me, it wasnt the case this time. I enjoyed this one a lot.

The Trouble With Highlanders by Mary Wine

The Trouble with Highlanders (Highlander, #5)
Grade-B
Hotness Level-Inferno
Kink Level-None
Series-Highlanders #5
Reviewed by Mary Wine

This fifth installment in Wine’s series is a great read. Everything it should be: funny, suspenseful, hot and Scottish. Scottish Highlander romance is my favorite in the historical genre. The hero is Norris Sutherland, an earl’s son.The heroine is a fallen woman, Daphne Macleod. Norris was instrumental in her ruining so she could escape a loveless marriage to a man she considered her friend.

Norris has never forgotten the girl he deflowered and he desires seeing her any chance he has. He needs to marry to advance his clan but is so hesitant. Daphne is his choice but she is without a dowry on top of her fallen woman status. She accepts her decision at ruining herself but doesn’t want Norris to let his clan done with there being no advantage to their match.

I love this series. I have read every one and will continue to do so. If you want to start them I would suggest doing so with McJames series before this one since I think they blend together.
