His Wicked Celtic Kiss

by Karyn Gerrard

Tour Organizer: NK Author Services

It took just one teasing wink and a sexy Irish lilt from bad boy Lorcan Byrne to turn Julie Denison’s world upside down. The problem is, he’s only in town for six months, and happily ever after isn’t in this world traveler’s vocabulary.

Julie’s worked hard to get her life in a good place—dropping substantial weight and getting a great job at her friend’s bakery. But this handsome charmer is just as tempting as any of the decadent pastries she sells, and she can’t resist his advances for long. Julie fully expects Lorcan to break her heart—but she’s planning to enjoy every second she can of their explosive chemistry.

After years of danger as a soldier and a spy, Lorcan fled to tiny Rockland, Maryland for some boring downtime. He didn’t count on meeting someone who could ignite his libido and soothe his damaged heart, and their passion soon leads to deeper feelings. But can Julie convince Lorcan he has more to offer her than just his wicked Celtic kiss?

Review:

This book is a very sensual one.  Lorcan is a man who likes to get what he wants and he has his sights set on Julie! Julie initially dislikes Lorcan and the feelings he stirs inside of her when they first meet. Julie is very self conscious after losing a lot of weight and still can't see herself for what she is now.  Lorcan feels the same spark when they meet and is determined to have her. 

Their mutual friends warn him not to hurt Julie once they discover he asked her out. Lorcan and Julie go on several successful dates even though Lorcan makes it clear that he will be leaving in a few months.  Julie decides to stick with it and go with what she wants for once. 

Will they stay together??? Check out the book to find out :-) 

His Wicked Celtic Kiss was well written and moved at a great pace. I do not like lulls in my books and this did not have any. Lorcan is a complex character once you delve into his layers.  I enjoyed the character interactions and the insight into what each of them were thinking. Overall a two thumbs up!

The Cowboy's Gamble
By Janelle Denison

Genre: Western Romance
Tour Organizer: N K Author Services

Eleven years ago Seth O'Connor left Josie McAllister brokenhearted.  But now the sexy, smooth talking cowboy is on her doorstep, with a legal document that laid claim not only to McAllister property but to Josie, as well.

Learning that her father had gambled away not just the family ranch, but Josie's future on one game of cards has her fighting to safeguard her home, along with protecting her daughter from a past filled with painful secrets between her and Seth. 

But this cowboy is determined to claim what is now rightfully his, and Josie has a difficult choice to make.  She can either give up her home to her family nemesis, or marry a man she'd taught herself to hate….


My Review: 

This book was really well written. It was not your typical Western Romance story line. I was interested in it from the first page. Ms. Denison has a wonderful style of writing that draws you in and makes you feel like you are there with the characters.

Josie and Seth's journey was not an easy one. I appreciated this as it made the story more believable and realistic. The reactions of the characters fit with what someone would really do or say. Josie is a strong heroine that is likeable with out being over bearing and real. She is someone you can look up to. Seth is still your swoon worthy cowboy but like Josie his character was written realistically. His responses are typical male and age appropriate during the different points of the story.

You really feel for them and your heart is taken on a roller coaster ride. Your emotions will be invested into this story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes romance and HEA's that are real. I definitely had a book hangover after this story.  I am a new fan for sure of Ms. Denison.
