Review

Janna is a publicist who has been hired to change the image of the New York Blades. These men are players in every sense of the word and they need to start projecting the family image or the owners may start firing people. Ty is team captain and all he cares about is winning, he doesn’t let anything get in the way. He doesn’t do romance and he doesn’t have time for the Janna. They are attracted to each other and they begin a relationship, but Ty still won’t let anything interfere with his career. Janna has to decide if she can handle Ty being gone all the time and Ty has to decide is Janna is more important to him than Hockey. Janna is a wonderful main character; she works hard and will be unconventional when needed. She also cares about her family and does not put up with peoples bull. Ty is your typical male sports star, he can get any girl he wants, and he also only really cares about hockey. Both of them take you on a roller coaster of emotions throughout the book. I loved their story and I really loved how Ty and the other players stood up for Janna’s friend. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series.

The Secret 18+

The following review is for 18+ readers

 

  

Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud, as purposeful as she was loyal. The dear Scottish friend of her childhood was about to give birth, and Judith had promised to be at her side. But there was another, private reason for the journey from her bleak English home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known, the Laird Maclean. Nothing prepared her for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was to escort her into his land ... Iain Maitland, Laird of his clan, a man more powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered.

In a spirited clash of wills and customs, Judith reveled in the melting bliss of Iain's searching kisses, his passionate caresses. Perplexed by her sprightly defiance, bemused by her tender nature, Iain felt his soul growing into the light and warmth of her love. Surely nothing would wrench her from the affection and trust of Iain and his clan ... not even the truth about her father, a devastating secret that could shatter the boldest alliance, and the most glorious of loves! 

Review

Judith’s best friend is getting ready to have her baby and Judith made her a promise to be there no matter what. Going against her drunken uncle and her selfish mother she leaves England with the Laird of her friends’ clan. On the journey she and Iain become close, when they get to Scotland Judith makes friends with the rest of the clan. When Iain decides he wants to keep Judith they get married, but Judith has a secret, his birth father is her husbands enemy. When Judith and some of the clan get captured her secret is out. Judith is an awesome heroine; she pushes the envelope for what is acceptable for a woman of her time. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and she loves Iain. Iain is another alpha male who takes what he wants; he wants what’s best for his clan and will leave it that means changing things. When he decides he wants Judith and will do anything to keep her safe, even make an alliance with her father. I loved this book, while it is a historical novel, the emotions and struggles translate really well. The love story is believable and the secret in the story adds some tension and is eventually the big catalyst for change within the clan. The Secret is in my top ten favorite historical romance books.
