Free Book!


A Seal's Seduction by Tawny Weber is free Harlequin book on Amazon, and let's face it who doesn't like free?!   The story is from Harlequin's Blaze series, which is marked by their strong leads and of course steamy love scenes.  This plays off of the current fascination America has with seal's right now.  The story touches on some of the mental and emotional scars are military men and women deal with and how that affects their relationships.  Both the hero and heroine, of this story have emotional and mental issues resulting from military life they need to overcome.  Although each one from a different aspect of said life.  Go grab it, after all it's FREE!!

The Right Wrong Number by Barbara Delinsky

It's easy to see why Barbara Delinsky is a New York Times Bestselling Author.

While the last story I reviewed, was supposed a full length story, as I said I felt there was plenty of missed opportunity.  However, this short story while it left you definitely wanting more, it wasn't for lack of depth.  It left you wanting to read more but in a good way.  In fact, I kind of liked, the not knowing if it would be "happily ever after".  Sometimes the romance is about the journey not necessarily the ending.  The Right Wrong Number by Barbara Delinsky is actually available for a free download through amazon.  I recommend grabbing it while you can.  If you're looking for something to read during a coffee break or quick lunch then this is it.

Becoming a Lady by Marie Higgins

I'm back from vacation, and being the queen of procrastination, I have several book reviews.  The first is Becoming a Lady by Marie Higgins.  This is actually a re-publish.  It was originally published under the pen name - Phyllis.  It was quirky fun read.  I could relate to the basic story though.  I think I'm drawn to the historical romances because I love women being "ladies".  But like the lead in this story,  I know I could probably benefit from some etiquette lessons.  Oh, I don't believe I'll embarrass myself or those with me, but I'm no Jackie O. sigh.
 However, I think there was opportunity for the author to provide more depth of character.  The story was entertaining if not predictable.  I'd be interested, though, in reading more on some of the supporting characters.  Sequel anyone?   That actually begs the question, is there a supporting character that you'd love to see get their own story?  I'd find it interesting to know, which character,  in what book,  and why?
