Book Description

One man. One woman. One restaurant. A stormy temper, and a grudge that's been years in the making. It's the perfect recipe for Romance: Impossible. But add a little heat, and anything can happen...

Jillian Brown needs a job. Chef Maxwell Dylan needs an employee who can put up with him. And for some reason, the notorious celebrity chef has his sights set on her. It's a match made in the deepest fires of hell, but Jill's desperate, and righteous indignation doesn't pay the bills.

Chef Dylan doesn't seem to remember their chance encounter years ago, when he embarrassed Jill in front of a restaurant full of customers. And Jill - well, she's willing to put the memory behind her, in the name of a steady paycheck.

But things get complicated. Tempers flare, verbal sparring soon gives way to a grudging mutual respect - and feelings that the once-bitten, twice-shy Jill isn't ready for. Especially not with a man like Chef Dylan. But with flames licking higher, can Jill resist the temptation? More importantly, does she really want to?

Book Review

It is difficult to be a good chef when your boss is cutting corners on the grocery supplies, but Jillian is doing her best, when celebrity chef Dylan walks into her restaurant and publicly berates her skills. Its been years to the incident and Jillian is coping with the disastrous market as an unemployed chef when a seemingly golden opportunity comes her way. Possible employment, however the rider is that it would be at Chef Dylan's new restaurant in town.

Dylan gives no sign of recognizing her and for that she is grateful. She learns he is temperamental in the kitchen but always fair. She is just about learning to cope with him, when he drops the bomb. He does remember her and he is sorry. His respect for her hard work and skills are at war with his need to treat her as the new woman in his life. He knows he only ever crashes and burns in relationships, so he should keep it professional, The path to love is framed with good intentions, but will their personal or professional lives survive the tempers, the angry words and more of all their mutual attraction.

Characters were well fleshed out and story was interesting. My first book from this author, but enjoyed it enough to read another from her collection.

The Mistletoe Bride

Book Review

If you can't suspend reality and love the spirit of fantasy don't read this book. If you love reading about magical happenings in a "what if" kind of way, you are going to love this book!
Magic holds a special place at Christmas time, so why shouldn't the same magic bring romance to the life of Nick Christmas?
Eve is having a dreadful time just before her birthday, which happens to be Christmas Eve. Then she meets the perfect guy and on a whim invites him to spend time with her on a holiday in Aruba.
Nick knows he should be helping in the "Family Business" given that its the busiest time of the year for them, but he can't refuse Eve's fantastic invitation. What's more intriguing is that Eve can actually hear bells when he laughs...Is she his Mistletoe Bride after all?

The Surrogate's Secret

Book Description

Surrogate mother, Sheri O’Connor, loves her adorable twins. Since the donor parents were killed before their birth, she’s gladly taken on the responsibility to raise them herself. When their Chilean Uncle, Miguel Rivera, arrives with no warning, expecting to take them back to his country, she unravels and coldly informs him that isn’t going to happen. After all, they were her eggs used in the In Vitro process. Consequently, her claim supersedes anyone else’s. Never in a million years does she dream that the South American heartstopper wants her babies so much that he will force her to marry him by threatening to withhold the money she needs for an operation for her tiny son. 

Miguel knows women aren’t to be trusted. Didn’t his devious fiancé give him up for dead and marry someone else while he spent months being held hostage in the jungles of Columbia? If his mother hadn’t brought a team to save him and end up getting shot during the rescue, he wouldn’t be alive. Therefore, if the only thing that can help his Mamacita from succumbing to her wounds is to adopt his dead brother’s surrogate children, then he will do anything to see that happen. Even marry the ditzy blonde whose saving grace, beside her gorgeous body and beautiful face, is her absolute devotion to her babies.

Special Delivery (A Valentine's Short Story)
Sometimes gifts of the heart are the best gifts of all... 

All Amanda Holiday wants is for her husband to come home for Valentine’s Day. She’s expecting their first baby, but her husband Luke – a US Navy fighter pilot – is half the world away. So Amanda determines to get through her childbirth alone with the help of a trusted good friend. When a raging snowstorm hits, complications ensue. Will Amanda’s strength see her through? And can Luke stay out of harm’s way? It may all depend on the power of love to achieve a happy ending.

Book Review

This story resonated with me on two levels, first I read it on Valentine's Day :) and second I had my baby while my husband was away on duty as well. The story of Luke and Amanda brings out the emotional hardships that service wives everywhere can identify with. The short story is sweetly written, with beautiful character development and a couple of thrills along the way.

Book Review

This is the first book of the author that I have read and I was pleasantly surprised with the unconventional love story. Its a second chance romance for Gabriella. The lady has loved and lost one husband and has isolated herself from everyone else. She dedicates her years to raising her twin daughters with the support of her sister Gina. When said daughters are ready to fly off into their professional futures, they dare their mother to get over her hermit's lifestyle. What follows is a sometimes sexy, sometimes sweet and incredibly believable romance. There are more than a few twists thrown into the plot and yes it makes for interesting reading. Looking forward to picking up more from this author. Happy to have discovered her.

Loving Gigi (The Andrades, Book 5)

Book Description

Gigi Bassano 
Young. Beautiful. Idealistic. Proud. Gigi was raised outside the Andrade clan, but it has left her with an ache she cannot deny. When she’s invited to her brothers’ weddings, she refuses at first, then changes her mind and attends without telling anyone. She won’t let herself love them, but she can’t stay away. It’s a recipe for disappointment and heartbreak. 
Especially when she throws herself at her brother’s best friend, Kane. 

Kane Sander 
Sexy, rich, loyal, protective. He shouldn't want her. But he will. 
He should stay away from her. But he won’t. 

Love doesn’t follow anyone’s rules. Deny it. Run from it. Love always finds a way. 

Book Review

When Gigi decides to attend her brothers' wedding incognito, she is forced with this feeling of loneliness. She is about to have a pity party on the beach at the sides of the party when Kane finds her. He's already a little smitten by the sexy Italian he saw earlier in charge of the party arrangements, but when he sees the sadness in her eyes, he is drawn by something more. Only trouble is, she's much too young. He walks away that night, but try as he will he can't forget her.

Years later when he discovers that Gigi is Gio's little sister he knows he should not go anywhere near her considering the Bro Code. Unfortunately the old attraction is still very much there, stronger than before. They go through their ups and downs and as is true of all good romance novels finally resolve their issues and get together. I loved the scene where Gio's wife locks her husband and Kane out of Gigi's apartment when both of them start a pissing match. It was so funny! All in all, fun read, good time pass, specially if you have been reading the full series.

Somewhere Along the Way (The Andrades, Book 4)

Book Description

Luke Andrade: 
Wealthy, talented, fiercely loyal. He’s the glue that holds his family together, but every man has a breaking point. When he heads to Ohio to attend a funeral, he does so with the intention of taking time off to clear his head. The very last thing he expects to do is meet a woman. 

Cassie Daiver: 
Scarred, but not broken. She’s recreating herself in a small town far away from her painful childhood. 

He’s angry with the world and himself. She finally has something she’s afraid to lose. They couldn’t have met at a worse time. 

Luke and Cassie are about to discover love often happens somewhere along the way, and usually, when one least expects it. 

Book Review

Of all the Andrade brothers I have always found that I identified most with Luke, the peacemaker. The story of his love is different from the opulent billionaire settings of his brothers and works really well for him. The way the brothers bond over the series is brought out beautifully in this book, as is Luke's hesitation to involve Cassie in his life and troubles.

Author Ruth Cardello takes the mundane and makes it magical once again. Its a great book to be swept away with romance and fold your laundry with. :) Yes its not great literature or a classic book, but it helps bring a smile to your face during your busy day. I would love to see Gigi join her brothers on the island in her home. I guess that's the next book.
