The Proposition

With her thirtieth birthday looming, Emma Harrison finds her biological clock clanging and the elusive knight in shining armor yet to appear. She’s running out of options, especially after her gay best friend backs out from being her sperm donor. Of course, there’s always a sperm bank, but Emma fears a donor mix-up might impregnate her with the spawn of Satan.

Resident company womanizer, Aidan Fitzgerald, is used to always getting what he wants, especially in the bedroom. When Emma spurns his advances at the company Christmas party, he's determined to have her no matter what it takes. After Aidan learns of Emma's predicament, he is quick to offer a proposition that will benefit them both. He will father Emma's child, but she must conceive it with him naturally. Not one for hook-ups or casual sex, Emma is reluctant to take him up on his offer, but his charm, coupled with her intense desire for motherhood, wins out.

Soon their baby-making sessions become more than just physical. Aidan can't seem to walk away from her while Emma begins to wonder if Aidan could be the one. But can Aidan leave his past behind to become the man Emma needs him to be?

***************

It didn't take to far into the book for things to start progressing- I was worried when I started to read Emma's beliefs that it was going 

to take half the book for Aidan to get her in bed.

I could see where the story was going- Aidan needed to loose Emma in order to see what he had and how he felt about her. I didn't think it would happen the way it did but I guess I should have seen that coming to- I was sick to my stomach when it unfolded and hoped it would straighten itself out but then the book ended! Arghhhhh..........

Now I have to wait until March 15, 2013 for The Proposal.

Hot sex scenes. Nothing to detailed or raunchy.

*** The Proposal Release date has been moved up to Jan 5, 2013!

Love's Rhythm

"His music moves the world. Can his love move her heart? "

Nick Blackthorne knows all about words of love. They're the reason he's the world's biggest rock star. The irony? He turned his back on love a long time ago, lured away by the trappings of fame.

An invitation to a friend's wedding is a stark reminder of how meaningless his life has become. When he enters that church, there's only one woman he wants on his arm-the one he walked out on a lifetime ago. But first he has to find her, even if all she accepts from him is an apology.

Kindergarten teacher Lauren Robbins once had what every woman on the planet desires. Nick. Their passion was explosive, their romance the stuff of songs...and it took fifteen years to get over him. Then out of the blue Nick turns up at her door, and all those years denying her ache for him are shattered with a single, smoldering kiss.

But molten passion can't hide the secret she's kept for all these years. Because it's not just "her" heart on the line anymore...and not just her life that'll be rocked by the revelation.

Quick Read 155 pages

I have read similar books so some things seemed to be a bit predictable (if I would have read this book first I would not feel this way). This one didn't quit go as I thought it was going to go when Lauren's secret was revealed.  There is a lot of Hot sex scenes in this book and you don't have to wait to long for it to happen! There are lots of history that made me think the sparks were going to take awhile to catch fire. The ending was really really sweet made me get all teary eyed. 

 Quotes :

"A man who'd stupidly abandoned it when he though there was more to be had"

"And I want to be but I can't find the words
And I want to cry but I can't find the tears"

The Marriage Mistake

Carina Conte has had a crush on her brother Michael’s best friend, Max Gray, since she was a teenager back home in Italy. Now she’s earned her MBA and come to work at Michael’s new venture, America’s fastest-growing bakery empire. But some things never change: her overprotective family still treats her like a child. With three drop-dead gorgeous siblings, she’s still the ugly duckling of the bunch. And Max, the company’s new CEO, still barely notices her.

Max knows Carina Conte is strictly off-limits, for the sake of his job and his friendship with Michael. But hot-blooded lust wins out at a conference when the two share a scorching one-night stand—and are busted by her mother! Now, forced by old-world Italian tradition into a marriage he’s not ready for, Max is miserable—and Carina is furious. Her new husband is about to realize that hell hath no fury like a woman transformed. . . .

***********

The author does a great job speaking from both points of view. The part that stands out most to me is the situation that made Carina walk away from Max and claim her own life then hearing Max's point of view really made everything come together- it was a heart breaking moment for Carina but turns out it was heart breaking for Max as well. Max needs to realize some things and Carina needs to find herself before their forced marriage has a chance. 

You have to read to find out if it works out or if they call it quits.

Nice closure.
