Once and Always

From best-selling historical romance author, Elizabeth Hoyt, she ventured into the contemporary romance genre as Julia Harper. In Once and Always, it started with a chase encounter for Coot Lake Police Officer Sam West who stopped beautiful Maisa "May" Burney for a routine stop. They had an one-night encounter awhile ago and met on the highway. From there, Maisa had been on the run from Sam and from the Russian mafia. This half-Russian beauty was the daughter of an American prosecutor and a Russian mother.  But although she couldn't stop Sam, the chemistry between them was red-hot and sexy under the sheets. He swore to protect her with his wife, when there's been many attempts on her life and her family's with a bomb. But in the end, they've gotten together to sorted their feelings out and confessed their love.

This was a beautiful contemporary romance for this love story. This was a heart-breaker and a tear-jerker that made me cry. I cared about Maisa and Sam and their background of their story on how they met. I loved the winter scene for a small town as in Coot Lake, Minnesota. This moved me to tears and sigh a couple of times. You'll fall in love with them, too.  Great romance, terrific action with sweet love and lots of intrigue to keep you involved with their adventure.

Scandalous Desires

If you love novels that take place on the sea, you'll enjoy this red hot novel that deals with pirates. In Elizabeth Hoyt's Scandalous Desires, the third installment in the Maiden Lane book series, we were introduced to Silence Hollingbrook, a young widow. When I've read this novel, I've became captured by her tale of loss, scandal and compassion for a young babe, one she had taken care of as her own. No doubt about it, her family took care of her and protected her well-being. Then, we met Mickey O'Connor, a river pirate, who had an agenda of his own. We saw how he took care of his crew and employees. We watched him in action and witnessed his secretive past unraveling like yarn. Whoever thought river pirates can be sexy? Little by little, we observed how sparks flew between Silence and Mickey. It's steamy. Talk about a scandal! But we witnessed how they encountered danger together to the bitter end. All aboard!

This was a steamy and sexy historical romance that was set on the ocean and featuring pirates. I cared about Silence, an intriguing name no less, and her adventures on the sea. I also cared about Mickey and his band of river pirates. I loved the location of England and on the river as well to add some adventurous spice to this novel. This would make you sway and swoon and sigh with relief in the end. Overall, great drama, plenty of intense action and lots of steamy romance and intrigue to hook you and reel you in like a barracuda.
