Seduced in Blue......

I recently received an ARC of Melissa Blue's "Her insatiable Scot." I have to be honest, this is the first book that I have finished by this author, I am a huge fan of the "Den of sin" series (Shamelessly Taken is free on Amazon!) so I have "Forbidden Rendezvous," but I have not read this title yet.

My first impressions were quite confused, I hadn't read the first book, "Under his Kilt," so I had no idea what any of the characters were talking about. The reason for Tristan and Keri being at a hotel and posing as their family members, but as the story went on I began to understand more and more until I
was quite obsessed with this book. Namely, Tristan.

Tristan. I love a strong alpha male with a generous helping of vulnerability and Tristan is just that. Smart, sexy, skilled in the bedroom and hurting, Keri is the only woman in the world able to offer him everything that he needs; beauty, intelligence, and patience. Aw sweet! Not exactly, try hot. Steamy, explosive, toes curling while reading, HAWT! And the way he said, "Aye" instead of yes? Girl! In my head it was deep and dark like a young Sean Connery.

Favorite line:
I have more than one favorite,  if I were to list them here I would end up copying pages 65, 69, and 95.
e.g. Keri, "He probably tasted like the best decision she ever made....." Yum-O!


I'm jus Sayin:
I asked my hubby, the C-Mac (as in the guy of Scottish decent) to say "Aye" for me and he just looked at me like I was stupid. ME! How rude.

Read this book or check out its author, Melissa Blue.

Book stalking.....

Model Tiffany Bell has an awesome booty

So I've been stalking this book for two years. The cover is magnetizing; the look in the models eyes, the hot muscle man she's with, and her perfect ass make for amazing cover candy. Alas, I'm frugal and have a bathroom renovation to pay for and this book is expensive at $8.99 but finally I broke down and just spent the money.
The good:
Great writing, I really became engrossed in the book right away. The best friend and wanting Laney's boss to get her comeuppance made me dive in. I read it in one day. I wanted. No. Needed to know how the story ended. Really supremely written love scenes. Nicholas is more than a lil sexy in so many of the scenes; though he is very much an alpha male. I can also say that it reminded me of my last vaca, so I really had a great picture of the setting in my mind.


This is Jesse Pavelka my interpretation of Nick.
The bad:                                                                                                                                                                Nick was an a-hole. Not the kind that I love, but the kind I stay away from. At one point he tells Laney that if she doesn't agree to have sex with him he won't stop himself. Um, you cant threaten to rape me that's not hot. 


Laney was a doormat the entire book. I really wish that she would have given her boss what she deserved. Alas she was the sweet perfect character romance writers pump out every other book. Which brings me to my next point, why did rich playboy Nicholas fall for the sweet Laney anyway? I have no idea. 


I'm jus sayin:
I don't know that I can say that the book was the worth the price, depends on you as a person. I liked the story, will re-read, and will buy her next novel, but I can't say it stood out in the landscape of romance or multicultural new adult.
