Unwrapping: Review of UNSPOKEN BONDS by Michelle Grey

I’m always interested in the next book in a series especially if I’ve already gotten a sneak peek into what’s coming next. So after reading DANGEROUS ALLY by Michelle Grey, I was very intrigued to read Rachel’s story in UNSPOKEN BONDS. Thank you, Michelle.

***eCopy provided by author in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.

Blurb for UNSPOKEN BONDS:

Being summoned to the emergency room to interpret for deaf patients is nothing new for Rachel Mansfield. But finding herself interpreting for a scared, abandoned little girl with nothing but a note pinned to her shirt?

Well, that’s a first.

An instant bond forms between them, and Rachel’s protective instincts kick into high gear as Lily’s mysterious past meets an uncertain future. As hours turn into days, Rachel’s biggest worry is that they won’t find Lily’s family. Until she meets Lily’s uncle, Garrett. Then he becomes her biggest worry.

Betrayed by his family, Garrett Staker knows his path. He’s plotted every step. And as he closes in on his most important business goal, one thing is certain -- his plan doesn’t include assuming responsibility for a niece who was presumed dead after his sister’s murder.

Despite the undercurrent of attraction, Rachel and Garrett are at odds over Lily’s future. But as Garrett’s business comes under attack from within, and the questions about Lily’s past loom larger, they must find a way to work together. Their lives, and Lily’s, depend on it.

*               *              *              *              *

Rachel Mansfield has spent her life taking care of others including her many siblings so when a little girl named Lily is left at the hospital with a note pinned to her shirt, she opens her heart to yet one more child. What Rachel doesn’t expect is how attached she would become to Lily and how her life would change when she meets Lily’s uncle – Garrett Staker.

Garrett Staker is all business even when it comes to his personal life. He loved his sister dearly and with her death, he pushed himself into his business world further so he is shocked when he's notified that his niece, Lily, is alive after having been believed murdered alongside her mother. His world is turned upside down, first by disbelief, and then the way a little green-eyed sweetheart wiggles her way into his heart and how her champion, Rachel, captures it.

UNSPOKEN BONDS by Michelle Grey starts out slow but once the relationship between Garrett, Rachel, and Lily starts to grow as a family, the story picks up. I appreciated Lily’s deafness as part of the story but I feel that Michelle tends to get bogged down in the details and dwells far too much on aspects of her stories that while endearing tend to slow the pace of the plot. The true story exists within the growing family relationship that builds between the three main characters and the underlying mystery of the murder of Lily’s mother and her subsequent disappearance, as well as the question of who is trying to sabotage Garrett’s business. Michelle did well with all of those connections.

Michelle Grey has a talent for creating realistic characters with whom we can connect. It took me a long while to warm up to Garrett because he was so very distant but as he began to let his guard down, he became more amenable. His brother, Jack, is a much more likable hero but eventually Garrett had my full attention. Rachel is wonderful, caring, and bighearted and Lily couldn’t be more adorable and more real than if she’d been an actual little girl sitting with me while I read.

Whereas I wouldn’t say that UNSPOKEN BONDS is a one of the year’s best, I will recommend it to anyone who loves good characters, strong family bonding, less heat sexually, and a story that might just have you reaching for a tissue occasionally. It’s heart touching and sweet even as you wish to smack Garrett for his selfishness. But before long, you’ll find yourself cheering Garrett on as he begins to realize that with Lily and Rachel, he really does have it all.

Cover Reveal for SAVOR, a Billionaire Bachelor novel by Monica Murphy

SAVOR

by Monica Murphy

Billionaire Bachelor Club #3

coming January 21, 2014

New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy concludes her sexy Billionaire Bachelors Club series with a fiery romance that refuses to be left at the office…

Bryn James can’t take much more. Smart, sexy Matthew DeLuca is everything she wants in a man, but he’s also her boss—the youngest, hottest vineyard owner in the Napa Valley—and he doesn’t see her as anything more than his shy assistant. That’s all about to change. Armed with a hot new look and an attitude to match, Bryn is determined to catch Matt’s eye… professionalism be damned.

With his winery’s grand reopening approaching, Matt is trying to stay focused, but Bryn is suddenly making it very difficult. He’s always thought her prim demeanor effortlessly sexy, but Matt can’t deny that her transformation is jaw-dropping …and going to make it very difficult to keep his hands to himself.

But when one thing leads to another and suddenly Matt is stripping Bryn bare, he’ll be faced with the biggest risk of his career—and his heart. Can he convince her—and himself—that this might just be more than a no-strings office affair?

EXCERPT:

“Don’t be so cranky. It’s okay to admit you have a thing for Bryn.” Ivy leans forward in her chair, a secretive smile curling her lips. “I have a feeling she has a thing for you too, you know.”

I do know. And I can’t act on it. Bryn James works for me. She’s my assistant. She’s by my side constantly; we spend more time with each other than probably anyone else in our lives, especially lately what with the winery’s grand reopening approaching. She’s a representative of my business. If I were to fuck around with the help and the relationship fell apart, I’d be in huge trouble. She could screw me over financially every which way by suing me for sexual harassment and I’d be left with a limp dick in my hand and a ruined business.

Yeah. Not going to take the chance. Saw it happen with my father. Not going to let it happen to me.

“It doesn’t matter. Nothing can happen.” I send Ivy a stern look. “And this conversation can never leave this office.” Glancing over her shoulder, I try to see if Bryn is at her desk but the chair is empty.

Thank Christ.

Ivy’s expression goes solemn and she holds up three fingers. “This conversation stays here. Scout’s honor.”

“You were never a scout,” I mutter, afraid she’s making a promise on an untruth. She’ll probably just blab to everyone. Or specifically Archer and Gage. I don’t need to hear their shit.

And I am worrying way too much over this.

She laughs again. “I won’t say a word, I promise. But I need to tell you something, Matt.” She leans in close, her voice dropping. “She’s got a major crush on you. You might not see it but it’s there—sounding in her voice, shining in her eyes, every time she looks at you, talks about you. The way her body turns into yours every time the two of you are together . . . it’s pretty obvious. A body language expert would have a field day with you two.”

Body language expert? What the hell is Ivy talking about? “I have no idea what you’re referring to, but office crushes are just that. Crushes. Harmless attractions no one ever acts on. Period. End of story.”

This is what I keep telling myself. I can’t pursue anything with Bryn, no matter how much I’m tempted to. Not only would it be wildly inappropriate, dating my assistant, but we come from two different worlds. She seems nice and normal, quiet and unobtrusive, and I am anything but.

My life has been a circus sideshow for years.

“I get it. You’re trying to do the right thing, and I admire that. So, of course you don’t see anything beyond an efficient assistant in Miss James.”

Well. Ivy’s not too far off the mark. When I first met Bryn, she hardly said two words, kept her head bent when I spoke to her and offered lots of yes-sir and no-sir answers. She had this way of almost blending in with the walls, like she didn’t want anyone to notice her.

So I didn’t.

As we got comfortable working together though, something happened. I’m thinking Ivy had a hand in Bryn’s slow transformation. She actually makes eye contact when she speaks to me, and she’s become somewhat animated. Started to wear bolder colors as well, drawing my attention to her chest though I keep my eyes averted as best I can.

These subtle changes made me notice all of the little things—like the color of her eyes (blue), how her hair looks (like silk and I want to touch it), and the tempting fullness of her lips (they’re spectacular).

Her gaze lingers when she looks at me and sometimes so does mine. Her smile softens, her voice drops lower when she speaks, sparking my imagination. Would she sound like that right before I kissed her? Took off her clothes? Took her to my bed?

Yeah. All of those are dangerous thoughts. I almost prefer the old Miss James. The one who was like the wallpaper—boring and nondescript. Mean to say, but hell, the last thing I need is a distraction.

And she’s become the biggest distraction I’m currently facing. The very last one I need.

Release Day Celebration for HUSTLIN' TEXAS by KC Klein + Giveaway

Welcome to my Release Day Celebration for HUSTLIN’ TEXAS, book two of the Texas Fever series by KC Klein and I hope you'll join me in wishing KC a very Happy Release Day. Yesterday, I reviewed this amazing, new contemporary romance and can’t recommend it enough to everyone. I’m also thrilled to have KC visiting with me today. Feel free to click on the title to read my review but hurry back because KC and I have some fun in store for you, including a giveaway!

When thinking about how to celebrate, I thought I’d challenge KC to a little character fun. I wrote the following lead-in and asked KC to finish it for us. Think of it as a teaser. You can read an actual excerpt a little later, but in the meantime let us get some insight into what some are thinking about the return of Nikki Logan to Oak Groves, Texas. Enjoy!

Cole and Katie Logan relaxed on their front porch to watch the day end. Katie’s cherry red boot-clad feet settled casually on the top of the railing as she leaned back in her favorite seat in the porch swing, while Cole sat cross-legged in an old rocker. His denim wrapped legs still carried the evidence of a hard day’s work seeing to the horses and his dirt smudged tee shirt stretched nicely across his broad chest as he chewed a piece of sweet hay he’d snagged from the bales he spent the afternoon loading in the barn.

Katie smiled in appreciation of how much she enjoyed looking at the man who owned heart. However, she wasn’t happy that she was about to shatter the peace of the moment.

“I hear Nikki’s back in town,” Katie mentioned as nonchalantly as possible all the while knowing how Cole was going to take the news.

“Where did you hear that?”  The rocker halted its relaxed motion as Cole’s boot hit the wooden floor.

“There’s been some rumors floating about, is all,” Katie remarked. She brushed away an annoying fly while hoping Cole would just let things lie. She only threw it out there to find out if he knew and since she still wasn’t sure what he may or may not know, she wasn’t about to push him.

“Jett know?”
         

Katie shrugged her shoulders but didn’t meet Cole’s inquisitive stare. She wasn’t going to add any fuel to that fire either.

“Does it matter? The way she left I mean,” Katie said with a deep sigh. “There are going to be a lot of folks in town not too happy to see your sister. But I’m only worried about you?”

Cole stared out over the land. They both listened to the sound of the horses settling down for the night as the sun slowly sank into the horizon spreading stripes of pink and orange across the sky.

Amy:  So, KC, how does Cole feel about Nikki’s return to town?

KC:  As far as how Cole feels, I had to think about that for a moment. Cole and Katie’s relationship is a bit rocky, especially at this juncture in the story. Deep down Cole is worried about his sister. He has been for a while, but he just doesn’t have the tools to deal with her. Like a lot of men, Cole finds the female brain a mystery. He’s had a lot of responsibility thrust on him at a young age, and though he knew there was more to raising a teenage girl then just providing food and a roof over her head, he was totally clueless as to what that meant.

That was where Jett came in. Jett was able to provide more of the emotional support that Nikki needed through the years. But Cole’s blinded to where Jett is concerned. To Cole, Jett was the reason that Nikki up and left two years ago, and it would be over Cole’s dead body if Jett became the reason Nikki left town again.

Cole wants Nikki to stay and get her feet up underneath her. He doesn’t need Jett coming in and making things complicated for Nikki. Nikki can do that all on her own.

I accepted Amy's challenge and here’s my little snippet of Cole’s reaction to Katie’s news. I thought it was interesting how Amy wrote the scene from Katie’s perspective, so I decided to keep the POV the same:

Cole took the piece of straw out of his mouth and threw it over the porch railing. “Well, it’s a fine thing letting me know about it through town gossip. Doesn’t she have the decency to come and tell me herself that she’s home?”

Katie took a long slow deep breath in and out. There was a way that a person learned to deal with the Logans, and it wasn’t by rushing forward like a bull seeing red. “She’s just got in. Give her a few days to settle. I’m sure she’ll make her way over. And when she does—”

“And when she does,” Cole stood up, the rocker behind him careening forward and back like something possessed. “When she does, I’m sure gonna ask her about the other town gossip swirling around her. Typical Nikki, can’t just give the town one thing to talk about. Have to make it multiple.”

Cole said the last sentence under his breath, but Katie wasn’t one to let important matters slide. “Like what?”

“Like where the hell she came up with the money to go to college, that’s what?”

Katie had been wondering the same thing herself, and though she had some ideas of her own they weren’t ones she wanted to share with Cole just yet. “And you’re sure bringing that subject up on the first time you see Nikki in two years is the best way to calm the waters?”

“Well, fine then, what would you like me to bring up?” He turned toward her, his blue eyes already getting that hardened icy look to them. “Maybe something about a job? Like does she have one?”

Katie sighed and rubbed the spot between her eyes. How did she fall in love with a man who was such an idiot? “And when are you planning on having this little heart to heart?”

Cole resettled his hat and patted down his jeans to locate his truck keys. “No time like the present.”

“For Pete’s Sake Cole, just wait until morning. At least give the poor girl a solid night’s sleep before you go in there huffing and puffing.”

Cole stilled, then nodded. A wise-ass smile brought out the dimple in his left cheek. “Perfect. The morning is even better. I’m up around dawn. That should give her plenty of time to get settled in.”

Katie groaned. Damn Logans. Well, she gave Nikki as much reprieve as she could. The best Katie could hope for was that brother and sister somehow found their way back together. Poor Nikki, the least Katie could do was make sure the girl had some caffeine. Katie stood to go set up the coffee maker to automatically brew at some ungodly hour, because Katie sure the hell wouldn’t be getting up that early, not if the baby let her sleep in. She stifled a yawn. Not even Logan family peace was worth that.

*             *             *             *             * 

Thank you, KC, that’s some interesting insight into what’s in store for us in HUSTLIN’ TEXAS. Nikki is definitely a handful as both Cole and Jett know but we hope Jett can bring her back to earth. I hope everyone will read HUSTLIN’ TEXAS and find out. I promise you that KC delivers and delivers big –big like Texas!

KC, it’s always a delight to have you join me here at Unwrapping Romance and I’m so glad you brought Cole and Katie with you. You know you're always welcome here! Thank you so much for allowing me to co-write this scene with you. I’ve got one more quick question for you before we get to the Giveaway.

Unwrapping: Review of HUSTLIN' TEXAS, a Texas Fever novel by KC Klein

Back in November 2012, I read and reviewed TEXAS WIDE OPEN by KC Klein and it isn’t often that I rave over a book but I did this one. KC blew me away with her story, her writing format, and the intensity of emotion that was created between the characters. In TEXAS WIDE OPEN, we were introduced to two additional characters besides Katie Harris and Cole Logan, and these two had an equally fiery and intense encounter – Nikki Logan and Jett Avery. I hoped KC would tell their story and she has, in HUSTLIN’ TEXAS, book two in the Texas Fever series.

***eARC provided by publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.

Blurb for HUSTLIN’ TEXAS:

Only one person in Oak Groves is happy to see bad girl Nikki Logan back in town…

Groves Oaks’ most beloved bachelor, Jett Avery, lives by a simple set of rules. Getting involved with a complicated woman isn’t one of them. He learned that the hard way two years ago when he spent one of the most incredible nights of his life with Nikki Logan. But then she hightailed it out of town, never to be seen again—until now. It might be time to break one of those rules…

Picking up the pieces of her life, Nikki is back in Groves Oaks, face to face with the one man she’s done her best to forget. But she has her reasons for being here—and they don’t include winding up in bed with Jett. Especially since he’ll never forgive her once he finds out the truth about why she’s back…

*           *             *              *             *  

Nikki Logan has returned to Groves Oaks, not to build a life, not to apologize to those who care about her, not to accept Jett Avery’s proposal of marriage but to pay a debt. When Mike, the owner of The Pitt – the local strip joint - lent her the money to go to college and make a better life for herself than what he knew awaited her if she continued on the destructive path she was leading, Nikki made him a promise and she kept it. Now she’s back to make good on it. She knew she could never just arrive in town and no one know about it, so she did what she always does – take the bull by the horns, namely the ones that belong to Jett Avery.

Jett had opened his heart to Nikki two years earlier and she left town without another word. He thought he was past the hurt she’d heaped on him but when she walked into the diner, he knew that nothing was over between them and if it was the last thing he did on this planet, he would make her his.

Just when I thought no relationship could hold more fire, more emotion, or more love than Cole Logan and Katie Harris in TEXAS WIDE OPEN along comes Nikki and Jett in HUSTLIN’ TEXAS by KC Klein.

KC knows how to conjure characters that capture our hearts, our imaginations, crush us when things fall apart, and makes us soar when everything comes together in a sweet happily-ever-after. Nikki is by far one of the most broken women ever created and Jett is her hero, her lifeline, and her savior. Oh, Jett is pretty well bruised as well – most of the time literally in this story – but he knows what he wants, what he needs, and most of the time, knows how to get it but with Nikki, all the rules change and it’s a delight to watch him flounder, stumble, and even screw up big time.

HUSTLIN’ TEXAS by KC Klein is amazing, wonderful, heartbreaking, exciting, edge of the seat anxious, and one that will have you begging for it to never end. KC gets better with every story she creates and I’m in awe of the emotion that she wrings from her characters and from us as we read her stories.

I highly, highly recommend HUSTLIN’ TEXAS, book two in the Texas Fever series by KC Klein if you love romance at all. It has it all in huge proportions just as it should be since it’s Texas all the way. This one is a must read, my darlings.

Come back tomorrow when KC joins me to celebrate the release of this amazing new contemporary romance with a special treat and giveaway!

Happy Reading Everyone!

Unwrapping: Review of LOST IN A ROYAL KISS, a Renegade Royals novella by Vanessa Kelly

Intrigued by the name of this new series from Vanessa Kelly, the Renegade Royals, I just knew I had to start at the beginning. It all begins with LOST IN A ROYAL KISS and I can’t wait to see where it goes.

***eARC provided by publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.

Blurb for LOST IN A ROYAL KISS:

In this thrilling introduction to her Renegade Royals series, Vanessa Kelly transports readers to the court of King George III—where a London street urchin unwittingly plays Cupid, ushering in a new era—and ultimately a new kind of royal…

With her widowed mother working long hours as governess to the royal children, Linnet St. Clare must look after her siblings and run the household. Now she must add to her worries the fate of Dominic, a poor orphan who has inspired the wrath of the king himself. Clearly, Linnet has no time to consider her own desires—much less notice the attentions of a certain handsome, powerful magistrate…

Sir Anthony Tait is at a loss for how to capture Linnet’s interest. If only she would be still long enough for courting. Outright seduction seems the only answer. But will his kisses be enough to persuade her—or might Anthony have something to learn from young Dominic about matters of the heart? And in saving the boy’s future, might Anthony and Linnet at last create their own?

*              *               *               *              *

Sir Anthony has a problem in the guise of an independent, quick-tempered, and family loyal woman named Linnet St. Claire. He wishes to make her his wife yet she deems to avoid him at every turn. His chance arrives on a day when she sweeps into his office with the young Dominic in tow and declares that Sir Anthony must assist her. Of course, he’ll do anything that per chance might keep her close and his debt. Things don’t quite go the way he hoped.

Linnet has always had, for want of a better word, a crush on Sir Anthony but she believes him indifferent to her until he kisses her into a state of absolute fever and then declares - it was just one kiss. Irate and indignant, Linnet vows to avoid him, forever if need be, until one night changes everything and puts her desires, her hopes, and her love on the line and twists her future into a puzzle she may never resolve.

LOST IN A ROYAL KISS, a Renegade Royals novella by Vanessa Kelly is a perfect beginning to what promises to be an exciting and adventurous new series. Within this novella, we experience first love, innocent and mature. We experience the torment of love torn asunder by rules and loyalties but never lose faith that all will work themselves out in the end. Well, we get a sweet and surrendering HEA with Sir Anthony and his lovely Linnet, but then are introduced to the beginning of a long journey for the youthful pair in this tale. Stay tuned for more love, romance, adventure, and hopefully happily-ever-afters with the continuing series – next up, SECRETS FOR SEDUCING A ROYAL BODYGUARD. With a title like that, you know we’re in for an adventure.

I highly recommend reading LOST IN A ROYAL KISS by Vanessa Kelly. A lovely, fast-paced novella that gives us a wonderful opening for further adventures with the Renegade Royals. This how a man chases a woman until she finally captures him themed story is set in Georgian London and keeps us wonderfully entertained while it whets our reading appetite for those tales yet to come.

Happy Reading Everyone!
