This is the 2nd book in the series, and a long favorite storyline for me! I would recommend that you read them in order, as there is a lot of back story which would influence your views of the lead characters in this story, but you could enjoy as a standalone by itself without having to read book one. And on to my review. ***A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review*** This story is about Korey and Gigi in Book two from the Sacred Places series. Korey is a 700 year old Druid sorcerer and he is I completely and totally in love with Gigi who is a waitress at his cousin's bar. Korey thinks GiGi is only human when really she is a goddess. Gigi is hiding from her uncle who is some really bad guy who is out to get rid of Gigi (i.e. eradicate her) because of something really great she had done to the Druid children but in her uncle’s eyes, she became a threat. Neither realized what the other one was doing for the other and was determined to protect each oth...

She did what her mom and step dad asked and is an all American girl. Then her world changed- her step dad found out he has a son he never knew about and in order to help him out of a legal situation, her step dad brings him to live with them which brings chaos to the house. Madison is really skittish because after seeing his picture he's all she can have thoughts of. When he does get there, Madison is caught with her pants down, literally( you have to read). She is totally in lust. However he is her step-brother. There is such chemistry and sparks between the two that fly off the page.  This story plays out over a period of time and there are twists and turns that will leave you needing to know how they end up. It is a very erotic, sexy and agile reading story. I highly recommend reading this story.  ...

***A gifted copy was provided by the publisher for an honest review*** Olivia Carter has a business that she is trying to save. She told a lie and now that lie could sink her business. With both her reputation and career in jeopardy, Olivia is desperate enough to do almost anything... Millionaire Mason Parker is ready to take advantage of her desperate situation and force her into a sham “fictional” relationship to get his hands on land that Olivia owns This is payback for what Olivia’s father did to Mason. We are given a lot of info on what Olivia's father did to Mason and his need for revenge but in the end Mason does nothing and it is NOT because he chose love; it was because that part of the book was somewhat rushed. Olivia has this reason to be in this position due to lie she told to get her business set up and get it booming-Your asking how is this –well , the media have sat up and paid attention, orders are coming in from Hollywood Big namers, and she’s even appeared on Ell...

***A gifted copy was provided by the publisher for an honest review***  I really found this book to be fantastic! The complex emotions and feelings and the twists and turns that , at times, you could see and sometimes , couldn’t see coming , kept me reading without putting this book down and was a read-through book.

***A gifted copy was provided by the publisher for an honest review*** Abigail Kelly is—mega rockstar, tabloid fixture while Todd Camford went from Marine sniper to owning a beachfront surf shop in Florida and when the two met- sparks happen. It was nice to see two different people meet and fall in love BUTthis story is mainly about one day and there is a lot of talking and a lot of descriptions - which is normally fine but it drags ... there is romance and chemistry but honestly, I hoped for a real development. It is a story where two people from different worlds collide and meet. Todd who has been hurt in love before and Abby who is literally stalked by fans and media who really can never have a life...two souls meet and in one day, there lives change and change, it looks like for the good. I felt like this story needed to delvelop over a week or even more, only but to happen in one day and it leaves off where there “may be” a chance for us to see Abby and Todd again? The story f...
