Strictly Business (A Big Country Lodge Story, Book 2) (Erotic Romance - Holiday Romance)

That part threw me for a little loop. Especially the opening scene once you realize that that is how it is supposed to start…silly Julie. Time for them to fully explore their most intimate desires to dominate and submit. Rori is thrilled when Jude whisks her away to a luxury resort in the mountains. They are good together…a strong match.

But after a while I was feeling it a little too much. I love a gushy love story as much as the next gal, but I have a limit. I guess the best way to explain it would be like this: You remember back in High School when your best friend had her first boyfriend and how they would make out in front of you all the time?

I liked Jude and Rori quite a bit. And the depth of their feelings was touching. I may have felt a little differently if I had read Second Chance though…maybe. I thought how Lauren worded this was fantastic. Which meant putting her needs first and being aware of what she was thinking and feeling on a whole new level. The relationship was strong. I felt how much they loved each other.

Overall, I give this book 3. Nov 21, Mandi Schreiner rated it really liked it. Now working in Boston, Chloe is enjoying being back at home for a few weeks, and enjoying the sight of Scott. Their fast friendship soon turns to a very sexy romance. This is an absolutely adorable story. It is a very simple love story really, without a lot of conflict. Just two people who meet, dance around each other for a few days, and have a wonderful romance blossom between them.

They are both easy going, casual people. With her living in Boston, and him living in her small hometown of Maine, they start their fling with the intention of keeping it casual. But by the end, there is true love, and a story that will have you smiling. She left a young adult those ten years ago not only searching for a big music career, but running from heartbreak. She caught her best friend Amanda and her boyfriend Ethan in bed together.

When he sees Riley that flare of passion ignites within him again. Riley has been singing about the betrayal and her eventual forgiveness in her songs. Can the man from small town, make it with the big star? This story packs an emotional punch. First Riley must come to terms with the betrayal that happened ten years ago, but in a sense, she is also coming to terms with her fame. She feels more unsteady when she realizes how much she has missed, by not being in contact with anyone the entire time she has been gone.

With the amount of drama in this one, Ethan and Riley act mature throughout which is very appealing to me. That made me scratch my head a bit. However, I really enjoyed this one! Leah may not be the best skier, but most of their fun happens inside the bedroom. Having a good rhythm in bed, Leah knows she likes to be in control, and Brandon is more than happy to follow her lead. As they enjoy one another, Leah gets a bit heartsick thinking of having kids.

Holiday Spice is an erotic short story with some very spicy love scenes. I have no complaints with the love scenes. We kind of get dumped into this week of their lives, and I felt like we were missing important things about who this couple is. So, while it was nice just for the sex scenes, I missed having a connection to these characters. Together they made it out of that terrible time, and found love with each other. Jude is a dominant, and Rori loves to be topped by him. As a gift, Jude takes Rori to a resort, where they will have days of uninterrupted naughty play, and a time to make a Christmas memory of their own.

Believe is the most naughtiest of the stories in this anthology. Lauren Dane has such a way with words. Her descriptions are so vivid and raw. It makes for an extremely sensual book. This is an excellent erotic story of two people in love, who have moved past horror in their lives and just enjoy the time spent with one another. It is very sexy, and I loved both Jude and Rori. It is an epilogue to her previous book, Second Chances, which I have not read and had no problems following this short story. Even for those who shy away from anthology books, I definitely recommend this one.

Shannon Stacey and Jaci Burton start out the collection with two romantic, warm fuzzy stories, while, not surprisingly, Megan Hart and Lauren Dane finish it up with some serious sizzle!!

Holiday Sparks by Shannon Stacy — 4 stars Chloe Burke comes back to town after leaving years before to pursue a career in web development in Boston. When her parents head out of town for a Christmas cruise, Naughty and Nice is a collection of holiday themed short stories; two stories nice and two stories naughty. When her parents head out of town for a Christmas cruise, Chloe decides to come home and house sit. Having had a major crush on Chloe in high school, Scott is only too eager to help out the former object of his affection.

This was my first read by Shannon Stacy and I enjoyed it. I tend to like my romance more on the steamy side, but the author did a great job of holding my attention with great characters, witty dialogue, and truly romantic moments. After fleeing her town years ago, Riley has become a big time country music singer, making it big after writing songs about what drove her away years before, Ethan has no desire to see Riley, especially considering his actions are what drove her away in the first place. Within moments of seeing her, all the old buried feelings he had supposedly put to rest, resurface and are possibly stronger than ever.

I think I am just about ready to give up on Jaci Burton. Yes, the author can write some steamy sex scenes, but other than that, in my opinion, the rest of the books just fall flat, and this short was no exception. This was the longest story in the collection, and was by far, the most difficult for me to get through. Unwrapped by Megan Hart — 4 stars Leah and Brandon are newlyweds and finally getting a chance to take an overdue honeymoon.

They decide to go away for Christmas for a snow filled week at a romantic ski lodge. After Leah takes a tumble on one of the slopes, the couple finds themselves cooped up inside with nothing to do but each other. Megan writes some of the steamiest scenes ever and this short was no exception. Believe by Lauren Dane — 2. Overall, this was just an okay read for me and I was left wanting more than what I got.

Some definite steamy moments, but nothing major to write home about. Overall, 3 lukewarm stars. Feb 14, Darcy rated it liked it Shelves: This collection of stories was fun to read, you had 2 of them on the nice, romancy side, then 2 on the naughty, erotica side.

I hadn't ever read anything by Shannon Stacey before, so was pleasantly surprised by this one and will be checking out more by her. This story was about high school sweethearts, where one screwed over the other, then one comes back years later and learns what really happened. I really thought that Riley could have done better and was mad at her for going back to Ethan.

It has been fun watching this couple really come to trust each other within their unconventional relationship. I loved that Leah was strong enough to do what she really didn't want to just to please Brandon. I also think the choice they made at the end of their trip was just what they needed to happen. While I liked this story, I felt like maybe there was more to it in a previous book that I haven't gotten to. I did like that Jude and Rori, while in a newer relationship, still took the time to understand what was bothering the other.

Dec 12, Samantha rated it really liked it Shelves: Both Shannon Stacey and Jaci Burton pens sexy and hot love stories.

There story made the most sense in my opinion. I liked it and disliked it equally. I liked that the storyline was real but I felt that it would have been better in a longer book. The two main characters had a lot to work on and it should have been fleshed out in a longer book. Overall, the story fell flat and I was not interested. Dec 01, Susi rated it really liked it Shelves: It is my favorite in this anthology- Holiday Sparks makes just everything right.

It's a very funny and easy reading novella with wonderful characters who will make you smile like a maniac. The writing flows just right and drew me in from the start I love to read holiday themed stories so I took the chance to read this anthology ASAP. The writing flows just right and drew me in from the start- addicting from the start.

The story is about a girl that comes home, after years of staying away, to house-sit her parents' home. When she arrives she accidentally short circuits the wiring and has to call the local electrician to fix it. When she realizes that the wiring is so old that it's just a catastrophe waiting to happen she decides to get it redone- and her electrician is one nice man to watch while he works.

I loved the banter between the characters and how easy they interacted with each other. The whole setting in this wonderful charming small town with the dog that is always at your side- everything makes you feel like home. The love story is so sweet and heartwarming. I didn't really much like it but only because the story itself just wasn't right for me. We have Riley, a very famous country singer, coming back to her hometown after a ten year absence. She doesn't want to do it and she has every reason for this.

The reason she left is that she found her boyfriend, the love of her life, in bed with her best friend. When she saw this she packed her things and run- and never looked back. Now 10 years later she is back and meets him again. He has a 7 year old child and her best friend died a few years back. Perhaps some may say she should forgive him but I'm not one of those. I would have been okay with forgiving a one-night stand but not something that lasted so long.

In the story he tries to explain that he stayed with the best-friend because he felt honor bound to stay with her but only did so reluctantly and he never really loved her. So my question is how did he get her pregnant after those 3 years if he didn't really love her? But nevermind, I know I'm overreacting. The rest was good and as long as I could ignore this I enjoyed the story. I love the way Ms Burton writes her stories.

Very heartfelt and compelling on an emotional level. Just wished the story would have been different. I admit that this couple isn't my favorite and it's even more shameful when I tell you why. It seems I'm not much the woman being dominant and yes all my feministic genes are crying out loud too but still it is the way it is.

Name That Book

So I surprised myself with liking the story so much. Okay there is probably a reason for this but I won't share that tidbit. I still really love Brandon- he is so cute and sweet. Just makes you want to take him in your arms. I also really like that Leah is getting more and more assured about herself and what she likes.

It really suits her to be a bit more confident and it also added more strength to their relationship. The pace of the story is wonderful and the sex scenes are mighty hot. I think the story works best if you read the previous ones but I already read some other reviews who enjoyed even though they haven't. They just decided to spend there first Christmas as a couple in a holiday resort to celebrate their love with some privacy and undisturbed time for the two of them.

Believe is probably the "kinkiest" story in Naughty and Nice but also very romantic. I always love how complex and real Ms Dane makes the relationships in her books. Believe is mostly about being honest and open even though you think the topic could be uncomfortable for your partner. I believe this is very important in a relationship not being afraid of telling the other what's on your mind.

She handles the whole burden of Zach's death really good and enjoyed reading about these 2 finding their own way in life and leaving the past behind them. Very erotic and even more emotional story. Naughty and Nice is again a Carina winner for me. This anthology is a nice mix of sexy and sweet and exactly the right thing you need in December- preparing yourself for Christmas while staying warm even though it snows all the time. Dec 20, Becca rated it liked it Shelves: Holiday Sparks by Shannon Stacey: Chloe is back in Maine house sitting for her parents while they are on a cruise. She grew up in this small town but moved away as fast as she could to the city of Boston.

Through their mutual attraction they decide to have a holiday fling but when it turns to more, can they overcome the distance between their respective homes.

I really liked this story it was cute and very brief. I also loved the dog Kojak and how Scott would actually talk to him, and the dog was his assistant. It was a great quick story and you could definitely see the twos conflicting emotions about what was suppose to be a fling developing into something more. Riley Jensen was a small town girl in love with Ethan Kent. Until the morning she finds her best friend Amanda naked in bed with Ethan, and she runs away from the small town and never looks back.

Riley is now a famous country singer and is being forced to go back to her hometown which she hasn't been to since she left. She's hoping to avoid Amanda and Ethan and just get this concert and biography done as fast as possible. But then she finds out Amanda has passed away and Ethan was married to her and they had a daughter Zoey. Riley and Ethan start to reconnect and forgive each other for the past but it might be too late, and too much history for them to be together again.

I thought this story was okay, it was a little hard to believe that she forgave Ethan after about 3 days together when he had hurt her so much. I think if there had been more time for them to develop a new relationship than the story would have been better. Leah and Brandon are staying at a ski in ski out resort for their first Christmas as a married couple.

Everything is going great until Leah sprains her ankle while night skiing. She feels awkward having Brandon constantly taking care of her even though she enjoys it it feels like she doesn't want to. Brandon loves taking care of his wife, but knows she has a fiercely independent streak, he wants her to relax and relinquish control every once in awhile.

This story is the epilogue to a book about these two characters. Since I hadn't read the book I wasn't emotionally invested in the characters and I found their story kind of boring.

But I'm 25, and it's been at least 9 years since I read it, and I didn't even actually own any books back then. I am SO going out tomorrow to look for it. Remember Me there are 3 of them.

Two sisters, Sophie, the elder, is a bluestocking. Her flirtatious sister, Daphne, is engaged to a man who will only inherit if he is married by a certain date. Daphne elopes, leaving behind a note and her wedding dress. Sophie shows up at the altar, but Alex, the bridegroom, recognizes her for who she is. They agree to marry to allow him to inherit and her to save face for her sister.

It does sound familiar, but I am at a loss as well. The names of the sisters are different, but the plot sounds very similar. In the Bradley story, the sisters are twins. I found a description: Lovely Sophia Forest was a very intellectual young lady for the year in Regency England--quite different from her beautiful and flighty sister, Daphne. All London was agog when Sophia rather than Daphne wed the dashing Earl of Gresham, whose scorn for bookish females was well-known. The marriage was intended as a business arrangement only--to preserve the Earl's fortune and give Sophia financial independence.

But what was Sophia to do when she found herself enamoured of her husband, though too proud to admit it? Sophia needed all her wit and womanly wiles in a game of pretense and passion, to make the man she loved, love her. We'll see if it's the right one. Candle in the Window by Christina Dodd? It's original copyright date was Oct 2, , Feb 9, , 8: Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me find the names of two books I read some years ago.

I believe they were published around always before August I believe they are from British authors. They are both romances. One has a yellow cover with little cakes or cupcakes - I don't recall on them. She shares her house with some friends. The book is really funny. Funny Valentine by Amy Jenkins - it has no cakes or cupcakes in the cover however my mind must be playing tricks on me.

The other one has a light blue cover and I don't remember the story that well. I do know that in the end, the guy gives the girl a unique rose that he himself well, his company I guess created by matching 2 types of roses. In this last one, I just remembered that in the beginning, the girl is trying some clothes in a shop and afraid of a bee runs topless through the shop and bumps into the guy. Well, I know it's not much, but if anyone could help, I'd be very grateful. Thank you very much. I love that you guys have this section. New here, so please bear with me. I also think she had a girlfriend who runs a local bookshop.

I know it isn't much to go on, but every time I think I may be remembering more of the story I start to think I'm combining two stories into one. It's driving me batty. Nyah99 -- yellow cover with possible cupcakes reminds me of He Loves Lucy by Susan Donovan , but I'm not sure that's your book. This one takes place in Miami? The heroine has a goal to lose weight for publicity with the hero being her trainer.

I've read that one, but I can't remember what it is -- I want to say maybe something by Julia Quinn? Not one of the Bridgertons I'll dig around a bit and see if I can come up with a title. Thank you so much both of you. Thank you for your help. I've just found the name of the other book. First of all, its cover is not blue, but white. It could be Amanda Quick, though I still can't seem to place it. And it seems like she has several with trading places type themes. I'll keep digging thru her stuff and see, though I appreciate you still looking as well.

The Duke's grandfather corresponds with the heroine and carries on the courtship. Grandpa dies and when grandson comes back from the war, he finds out he is engaged to her. Grandson goes to confront her, she thinks he is the new footman she has hired and the story then continues. It's pretty funny actually. In that book, the hero is disguised as the heroine's butler. He is a spy and the powers that be believe that her deceased husband had something of importance he was a spy too.

There is also a Julia Quinn where the hero shows up and pretends to be her estate manager or something similar. She's the impoverished daughter of an earl or something similar who is working as a paid companion to a crotchety old lady who's nephew is a Marquis posing as her estate manager to get to the bottom of who is blackmailing her. Very funny and entertaining! Oddly, I have missed all of those and will now be reading those to see if maybe I've just lost my entire peas sized brain and maybe DID actually read one of those.

Hopefully it'll come to me soon as it's still tickling the back of my mind constantly. Very sad I tell you. I'm pretty sure its a historical romance but all i remember is that the hero if the book is sold at an auction. He is bought by a woman for her daughter. I don't remember the name or the author of the book. I have a vague memory of one like that as well, but can't quite place it.

I need some help with a book title too, It's a historical romance and the lady poses as a highwayman to take cre of the estate. The lady also posed as an ugly crone on the night their supposed meeting. Not quite sure this fits the bill but My Lady Notorius by Jo Beverley has a highwayman heroine with a cruel father and brother. She is trying to protect her widowed sister and baby who the father is trying to marry off to some awful man. The book is part of the Malloren series and takes place in Georgian England. The one you describe sounds familiar too but so far it's escaping me!

I'm looking for a book that's been bugging me for about a month now. I don't know the title or author or character names. I think the "hero" is from a well-known, well-off family. I know the "heroine" is from a poor family. She has red hair. I'm not sure if she has an older brother or dad. I remember the first chapter or so clearly, but not sure if the rest when they're older is correct or from another story. I think the two sisters were off to the store I think the sister was hitting on the guy Sadly, that's all I remember.

I keep thinking Linda Howard, but I just don't know Thank-you for any help you guys can give. I will try my best to do the same. Jul 12, , 7: I cannot believe how I could have overlooked that! I had a feeling it might've been Linda Howard Hi Suge, I tried to read all the threads and it doesn't look as if anyone had named your book, but I have the answer! It was one of the first romance novels I ever owned and one I go back to and reread every now and then! GoodReads has a good description of the books back cover: Hi, all--I'm trying to find a certain book.

It was out in paperback before probably well before that. The setting is definitely 19th century or earlier nobility, etc. I remember two main things about it: If any of you can help, it would be much appreciated! Isisreads, if you reverse the order of the scenes with the library later than the inn , there are two scenes very similar to what you've described in Judith Ivory 's Untie My Heart.

It's my least favourite Ivory book but lots of other people absolutely love it. Of course, an inn and a library are kind of popular settings for historical romance, so any other details you can supply might help readers here pinpoint the book you're looking for. I'm looking for a book I read around 5 or 6 years ago so let's say for starters that I picked up at a book sale at the local library.

So it had probably been around for a while before that. The setting of the novel is I believe in a sort of system similar to 19th or 18th century England where there were still nobles around that controlled estates and whatnot. Additionally, fine carriages and at least unsophisticated firearms were around too if I remember correctly. The plot revolves around a heroine named Kate or something similar - I want to say her full name was Kathleen or Katherine or something along those lines who has gotten stuck with running the family estate because her brother, who should be in charge, is incompetent and doesn't really do anything.

At the same time she's riding around in dark clothes on a black horse, holding up stagecoaches for some odd reason. It had to do with the family honor - I want to say she was looking to catch smugglers or something along those lines? Don't remember too well. But she's holding up these coaches looking for something. Now a gentleman from somewhere else visits the estate for a bit for some reason or another and love begins to spark between him and Kate don't remember his name, sorry. He begins to deduce that she's the highwayman in question and follows her one night when she makes a run.

Things go wrong on this trip and she gets shot by a guy in the carriage but the gentleman saves her and brings her back to her home. He then covers for her in order to make sure no one else found out about her double life. Near the end of the story Kate finds that some of her brother's friends one creepy guy in particular who keeps on hitting on her are performing some criminal activity on the family land. She gets captured and the gentleman goes to save her, killing the ringleader in a duel. So yeah sorry there aren't too many specific details but that's what I remember from the book.

Hope someone can help me find it - even a couple of general titles that might fit the profile would help!

Hi Guys, I am new to this group, and I was hoping to get some help finding a book i read around It is basically about a temporary housekeeper or a helper who is 8 months pregnant, and you later find out that she is a virgin. The owner of the house who is a businessman, ends up falling in love with her. I think in the scene that she tells the hero that she is a virgin is where she is getting made fun off by local boys, as she is young and seen as easy because she winds up pregnant.

She is actually a surrogate for her sister and her husband, but both die in an accident leaving her alone. To take care of herself and the child, she gets this temp job. I believe she is Italian. He also helps her give birth to the child in his house, which i think is a girl.

The last scene is of them getting married, and she is walking down the aisle, looking at the baby and thinking about everything. I have been trying to recall this book for a long time but as it is one of the first ones I read, I don't remember more about it. I have looked through many book lists and themed lists to find it including all romance writers, romancewiki, and fictiondb.

Myles Wellington still grieved over the loss of his young wife, but when he learned that her sister, Faith, was carrying his child, he felt the stirrings of life inside he'd believed he'd never feel again! Faith had secretly agreed to help her sister give her husband this last gift, but she had her own reasons for wanting this child, wanting to give Myles something no one else could.

She'd loved him for so long, had been so alone - until Myles insisted she live with him How could she share the same house with the man whose touch set her soul on fire, yet how could she resist grabbing at the chance fate had given her to have the only man she'd ever loved?.

Exulting in the intense desires she aroused in him to protect, to possess, Myles struggled to break free of the past. Could they put to rest their memories of the woman they'd both loved and build a future together?

Sounds like the kind of plots they have. It could be presents, romance, or american romance. I just came across a special edition silhouette called An abundance of babies by Marie Ferrarella but it isnt the one, which is very similar! I am almost starting to feel like the book doesnt exist. Any of you feel that way while looking for a book? I was searching through vintageromances. You said you read the book in the early 's so I've only been looking for books in that time frame, but could it also have been published in the 's? Also, is there anything you remember about the cover, such as color maybe?

It is possible it was published in the late 90s. I was thinking the cover had yellow and blue on it Nov 18, , 6: Pregnant female butler 8-months along. The book summary doesn't mention surrogacy, but the term did show up two times when I searched for that term in Google Books.

He cannot honorably deny them, but he won't be forced into marriage. Encountering a respectable governess in scandalizing circumstances, Gareth demands her help—to make him entirely ineligible. He educates the buttoned-up Miss Jessica Gifford in the courtesan's arts.

But Gareth hasn't bargained on such an ardent, clever pupil—or on his passionate response to her! He wanted to cause a stir—it seems they are about to brew a scandal! The list the list in the correct order is: Now is my turn to have a question. I am looking for a book whose name and author I can not remember.

The plot was somthing like this: This man promises to free one of the sisters if the other promises to stay with him. One of them grants the motion and gradually discovers that the villain has a noble heart. I read the description when I was looking for other books to read, but never wrote down the data of this book to read next. If any of you could tell me the name of the book or author, I am very grateful for your help. Okay, I read this book several years ago, and can't remember what the title or author is.

Its a Regency romance. The main female lives in the slums of England. I don't really remember who the hero was, he was an earl or something i think, and he takes her in and makes her over. But near the end of the book I think they have a fight and she returns to the slums just as a cholera outbreak hits.

She has a prostitute friend who dies and because she then catches cholera as well, she loses the baby she was pregnant with. I don't know the book and really want to read it again. She is English but she grew up in the Paris slums. The Earl seeks her out for revenge complicated plot and then agrees to marry her back in England. They have a short lived blissful time but then have a big disagreement she learns the truth about him and she goes back to Paris and the slums.

There is a cholera epidemic there after she leaves him in England. I think she did lose a baby, but I can't remember for sure. It was a really good book. He has a scarred face and this is the last of a trilogy of brothers. Woohoo, a success story! Yay for a happy ending! I never know these, which is weird because I've read so many romances. Hi,I m looking for a harlequin I read many many years ago. The heroine is english and visits her cousin who lives in a farm in France i think with her husband. The heroine also helps out in the farm. Her cousin tries to ruin everything she does around the farm -remember an incident where the heroine cooks soup for the farm workers and the cousin drops soap in it on purpose to ruin it.

The farm owner who is her cousin's brother in law is very prejudiced against her. I want to read it again! Can't believe it really! I ve been looking for this book for so long and you just found it right away! I ve got another one but I am afraid that's much harder to find since I remember so little of it It's all thanks to the person who runs the Vintage Romances website.

She breaks each book down by keywords and I use that to help me look for your book. I'm afraid the other book you are looking for is much harder since there isn't a lot of information to set it apart from any other medical romance, but I will try. Hi everyone I was wondering if you can help me figure out the title of this book I read a little over a year ago It has to do with a wealthy girl who runs away from home to find herself in the streets.

She becomes friends with a group or a "gang" of pickpockets. I distinctly remember that most of them were good kids expect for one of them who I believe was named Jack? I'm not quite so sure. There was also a character which was a small boy who grew fond of this girl. She would read to them every night. She also fell in love with the leader of the "gang". The mean boy Jack tried to force himself on her and was shunned from the group. Jack teams up with an evil man who is the leader of a rival pickpocket gang and they try to take them out. By this time the girls older brother finds her and takes her back to her rich lifestyle.

Can anyone help me? Theres also a sequel to that book. It is set later when the girl is a young lady and she meets again with the kid she fell in love with and they have an affair and blah blah you know the rest haha. Anyways something happens that she goes back to where she lived neighborhood and gets herself really sick. The lord comes to find her and her prostitute friend tells him that she died and was in this building where they keep the bodies. He finds her on the table and she was bleeding she had lost the babe and she recuperates and they live happily ever after I also believe he was extremely rich and he left his rather luxurious home to live downtown paris or another setting because something happened In any case, that's what I've been looking into.

Most of them seem to be doctor-nurse romances, but I couldn't find a nurse-patient book that fits your description. It's harder with older books because sometimes there isn't a description available, the description is short, or the description is vague. Would you like to do search on your own? Starlight genie - thank you so much for your help, I will try this website you mentioned! I was wondering if you could help me figure out what book this is it has be bugging me for ever not being able to figure it out! I remember very little about the book.

I can't remember the title, author or even the character's names since its been a while since I read it The children aren't her own. The kids were given up by their parents, because they were poor. Everyone is under the impression that the husband is kind by taking in these poor kids, but in reality he abuses them. I think he might've even been a pedophile? No one knows his secret except the heroine. But she escapes with these children and tries to go back and save the rest of them.

I don't quite remember how she meets the hero of the story, but I think he's titled as well and he tries to help out the heroine by formulating a plan since her husband is well-known. Random facts I remember about from this book is that the heroine was also abused by her husband and I think punished by being put in a cage? Hope that made sense P Crossing my fingers that someone recognizes this novel!

Feb 13, , 1: Hello all new here as well. I know a knight inherits land but when he gets there its been razed. The cover was all reds with a girl leaning backwards in a beautiful gown with a man holding her i think but i might be blending stories Thank you! Hi klkeefe, I think I read something like that not to long ago though it wasn't medieval but more Regency.

But it rings a bell. Not sure if I'm not mixing up two books though. It sounds a little like Fairest of them All by Theresa Medeiros, but I don't think the plot points all match up. The heroine is a beauty in disguise, but I don't remember the land being razed. I have been searching for a contemporary romance novel for years. The heroine thinks she is dating a guy but he is an FBI agent?

I believe she is a secretary and it looks as if her boss is involved in baby smuggling or some other type of illegal activity. She is taken down to the police station, in front of everyone at work I believe and the young brash agent along with his older much more mature partner question her for hours. The brash agent even scares her by mentioning having to go into witness protection. They are apparently holding her long enough so they can install a wire tap in her house.

When she meets up with him the hero who wants revenge against this man kidnaps her and gets shot in the process. I think the guy was going to kill her after she gave him the information. They hole up in a hotel for a while, he is a widower and his ex-wife was a supermodel? Remember her having to wear some of her clothing and then they made out on the balcony but he gets distracted when he sees the magazine she was reading which has the dead wives face on it.

They fall in love and get together for the first time while out dancing one night. I also believe she is a red head and is described as making a transition as the story goes on gaining confident and not appearing as mousy in looks anymore. Sorry for the long post guys, this book has been driving me crazy! I think it was a Harlequin romance but I'm not positive.

Here is what it's about: The book starts in the past when the main female character's father had just died. Her best friend's brother - whom she had a crush on as a child - asks her to marry him as a friend and move away - I think to the middle east, maybe Dubai? Anyway, the female character was a librarian at home but when they move away, he is busy working in the construction business, so she begins writing.

She becomes a very popular crime writer while they are away - unbeknownst to him. Then his father has a heart attack and they must come home - I'm thinking about 3 yrs later. While back home they must act like an actual couple - so they have to sleep in the same room and of course things begin to change. While home he is asked to take over his father's company, and he also finds out about her writing accomplishments - and of course they start to have a relationship.

Does this sound familiar to anyone??? Hope someone can help! I'm hoping someone will be able to help me find a book that I read in the late 80's or early 90's The male was wrongly sent to serve out a sentence in the penal colony. There is a ship with a mate named Toby. The story progresses with bits and pieces of past lives of the man and woman and how they are trying to find their way to each other. Part of the story is about white roses and red roses and what they stand for.

Either stained glass or paintings in the manor house sparks a memory for Elyse. It was a great book I read as a teenager. My mom cleaned out my hoards of romance novels years ago. I have tried searching on-line. It's tough not remembering the title,author or even the characters names. Does this sound familiar to anyone???? Later as an adult he meets up with his childhood friend, who is the heroine of the book. Feb 19, , Hello, another new member:
