BLURB
My new client’s a nightmare.
Older, arrogant, and totally off limits.
Until one passionate night when he wasn’t…
His touch left me craving,
the one man I know I can’t have.
Nicholas Darby.

He’s successful, rich, and the most sought-after bachelor in London.
I’m sure the universe has put him in my life just to tantalize me,
because there is no way I would choose to want such a jerk.
I would walk away tomorrow if I didn’t need this job.

Fighting with him is sizzling foreplay.
Chemistry that can’t be ignored, and believe me, we try.

If we can’t get this fire that’s burning between us under control,
then we’ll both be walking away aching
for the one thing we both fear the most… love.

MY REVIEW

Nicholas' life has been turned on its axis and then he meets a sassy, independent woman named Victoria, who further scrambles everything. He's not one to admit to feelings but he may have to if he wants to keep Victoria around. Can he let her in, or will he continue to keep her at a distance and lose her?


Victoria has a life plan - wants to travel and see the world. Nowhere in that plan is there supposed to be a gorgeous but dominating man who takes up residence in her heart. But Nicholas isn't just some guy she works with now, no he's the man she's fallen in love with, even if he isn't about to tell her he feels the same. Maybe they can have a thing without defining it? Right...and maybe she can keep her heart protected...


Victoria and Nicholas are sizzling together! He's dominant and bossy and has a huge heart, but is carrying a lot of baggage that has that heart on ice. Poor Victoria, but not really, because she's strong and sassy and keeps him on his toes and brings him to his knees, something he's definitely not used to, but loves, just as he loves her, even if he's loathe to say it. The Craving is the kind of story I like best - electric chemistry, feisty heroine who puts the dominant man in his place even as he bosses her around, and feelings that are strong from their very first meeting. There's an equally awesome secondary cast in his friends and hers, and I'm really hoping all of them will get their own stories.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
