Dark Fancy. ( Noble Passions #1) by Sabrina York. ARC Review.

When Lady Helena Simpson flees an unwanted marriage to a revolting lord, she finds refuge with James, a charming, handsome man unlike any she’s ever known. Helena concocts the perfect solution to her problem. She asks—begs—James to ruin her. Surely her betrothed will repudiate her if she is no longer pure. And if all her efforts fail and she still ends up married to a horrid man until the end of her days, she will at least once have known true passion. 

But James is not all he seems. He is, in fact, a wicked lord with a dark fancy. When Helena awakens his desire, he becomes determined to take everything she has to offer and more. No matter the cost.

A Most Demanding Mistress, (Fashionably Impure #2) by Natasha Blackthorne. ARC Review



Scorching Hot Historical Romance 

Miss Miranda Jones is indisputably the most beautiful, elegant and sought after courtesan in all of London. She hides a past full of pain and rejection beneath an exterior of pride. She knows that noblemen put their own fickle interests first and cannot be trusted. Scorned by ducal father, she never needed or expected anything from a man, except his financial support. Luxurious living makes a soothing balm against the sting of the ultimate rejection. 

Now she's madly in love with a nobleman who cannot afford to keep her in such extravagant style. And she wonders if a courtesan can ever afford to indulge her own passions? Can she really gamble so capriciously on her own future and put the happiness of the moment above future security? Will her gentleman prove himself no better than any other nobleman that she has known? 

Adrian Sutherland, the Earl of Danvers, has seen the men of his family destroyed through their obsessive need to possess beautiful women. He'd always thought himself immune to such unworthy drives. Now he's fallen under the spell of Miss Miranda Jones. 

Miss Jones' high standards and past reputation foretells that she'll be a most demanding mistress. Despite his relative lack of funds, Adrian is determined to work hard to protect and provide for her. Passion led this skeptical gentleman to declare himself in love. Yet as they enter a protector and mistress relationship, Adrian finds himself consumed with possessiveness. And he can't help but wonder if is it true love that motivates him? Or is it the need to own her stunning beauty? He must find the answer before their tempestuous romance breaks both of their hearts. 

A Most Demanding Mistress is part of the Fashionably Impure Series and is best read after Miranda's Dilemma. 

Reader advisory: This story contains frank sexual language and general bedchamber naughtiness. Abuse issues are alluded to in the backstory. 


Miranda Jones is a courtesan she is determine to protect herself and her mother. To do that she must have a rich patron.  Unfortunately she loves a near penniless man, and can't bring herself to give her body to anyone else.
Adrian Sutherland, the Earl of Danvers is trying his hardest to rebuild the family coffers, by winning it at cards. That means he spends far too much time drinking and gambling. He is also obsessed with Miranda to the detriment of his other responsibilities. 
This is the second book in a series that must be read in order. The danger that surrounds our heroine will endanger an innocent. Our hero needs his arse kicked.  Luckily our heroine is up to the job. A very sexy historical romance.  There will be a follow up story and I can't wait to read it.

Excerpt
Lindsey Reaching the bottom of the steps, I spot Alison’s one-night stand in the doorway. Roamyn’s voice echoes through the hall, deep and pissed off. “Who the hell are you?” “Jake, what are you doing back here?” I ask, not giving the guy time to answer Roamyn. Mason stills when I use Jake’s name, his body rigid and expression pinched. Jake glances between Mason, Roamyn and myself. “The lady asked you a question,” Mason, steps up beside me, posture tall, chest out, and I roll my eyes at his macho attitude. He actually looks pissed off. It takes me all of a second to realize why. He thinks Naked Guy is here for me, not Alison. The thought he might be jealous has me grinning for the first time this morning. “Um, I forgot my wallet,” Jake croaks out, his voice breaking as both badass detectives shoot him looks that could kill. Turning to me, Mason folds his arms over his torso. “Lindsey, the boy forgot his wallet.” My eyes bulge at the unspoken insinuation he’s throwing at me. Ali appears beside Roamyn, but before I can rip Mason’s judgmental ass a new one, she pipes up, “Wow. That was an asshole move.” All eyes land on Alison and all three men appear thoroughly confused. I lower my hand to my hip and the other out in front of me. “Okay, hold up right there.” I aim at Mason, “Jake here, looks all of eighteen years old. I’m no cougar. So you can take your judgment and shove it right up your ass.” “Seriously?” Ali’s voice cracks through the lasers of annoyance I’m shooting into Mason. Amused, she points between Jake and I. “You actually thought Lindsey would bring a guy home? To her place?” Ali scoffs and Mason grimaces while scrubbing the stubble shadowing his face, obviously regretting his insinuation now. Roamyn turns to Ali accusingly. “Wait, so he was with you then?” “Well, yeah, he sure wasn’t screwing Miss Uptight over here.” She nods in my direction. I roll my eyes. “Real mature, Alison.” “Um, excuse me but–” “What?” Cutting Jake off, four sets of pissed off eyes glare at him. He shrinks back. “Look, if I can just grab my wallet, I’ll get out of your hair.” “I’ll get it, hold on,” Ali murmurs as she disappears down the hall.



Lindsey is only eighteen when her mother dies.  Now it's up to her to look after her younger sister. The way she does it  is not strictly legal.  
Years later the choices she has made will come back to bite her. 
Mason is a detective who deals with the major crime families. When a bust has to be rushed, because one of his team was recognized , the whole thing turns into a bloodbath.  
Can Lindsey save her sister?  Can she keep the sexy cop from discovering her secrets? 
Mason has a few secrets of his own that torment his sleep. Can he trust himself to protect the ones he loves. 
This is a very exciting story that kept me on the edge of my seat. Its very hard to put down. Lindsey is a marvellous heroine. Strong, brave and completely loving to her family. Mason is a strong ,sexy and honest hero, with an heart full of love.  There are still some mysteries unsolved at the end of the book. So I'm hoping there is more to come. Lindsey's friend Oliver puzzles me. He must have his own story.

The Devil´s Masquerade, ( Royal Pains #3) by Nina Mason. ARC Review + GIVEAWAY.

Today, we are hosting the blog tour for THE DEVIL'S MASQUERADE, book three in Nina Mason’s erotic historical series ROYAL PAINS. Set in Great Britain during the Restoration period, the series chronicles the sexual, marital, and political exploits of Robert and Maggie Armstrong, the Duke and Duchess of Dunwoody.

Buy it now!

Here's the blurb:
Beware the devil in disguise… 

The year is now 1685 and Maggie’s father has just been crowned King of Great Britain, but that doesn’t mean trouble is over for the Duke and Duchess of Dunwoody. Rather than cool the flames of hatred between Papists and Protestants, the coronation of a Catholic monarch has only added accelerant to the already raging blaze. Two-faced devils lurk in every corner of the royal court, as do diseases with the power to kill and maim. When Robert falls prey to the smallpox virus, it looks as though Maggie will lose the two people most precious to her—her beloved husband and their only child—the son she bore three months before after five years of heartbreaking miscarriages and stillbirths. The one person in London who can help save her son demands a steep price in exchange her services. Will Maggie trade Robert’s hard-won fidelity to save her only child…or offer the apothecary an even more scandalous alternative?

Note: ROYAL PAINS contains highly erotic content and is intended to be read in order.

A very naughty historical romance, set in the very dangerous court of King James II 
Robert, the Duke of Dunwoody has been a good and loyal friend to the new king for years. His wife Rosebud is the king's illegitimate daughter. The king has two legitimate daughters who may be plotting to take their father's crown.  Robert and Rosebud have been married for five years,  and now have their much longed for son. When Robert is struck down with smallpox it looks as if Rosebud could lose her whole family.  
The political machinations going on behind the scenes are dangerous for anyone connected to the disputed crown. 
Rosebud is a loving but very jealous wife. She knows the sort of life her husband lived, and finds it hard to believe he has stayed faithful.  
Robert and Rosebud's sex life is adventurous.  When a person from the past puts pressure on them, how will they cope with what may have to be done. 
This book nearly melted my kindle. It is very naughty,  but there is no crude language at all. Our hero is completely devoted to his wife, and she to him,  but sometimes sacrifices have to be made. 

The third book in the series,  possible to read as a stand alone. but better when read in order. 
I will certainly be waiting for the next book in the series.





 Watch the trailer!

button synopsis


Catriona, Lady Blayne is recovering from a most delicate situation. Driven to the brink of madness by love for her late husband, a young man too ill to meet the demands of the marriage bed, she teeters on the brink of scandal. Now she must face the carnal temptation personified by her husband’s cousin and heir, James, the new Lord Blayne. His sensual appeal, contrasted with his iron will and stern self-mastery fascinates her. She can’t help but ask: what if sensual indulgence is the only way out of her darkness? However, she is not free to explore the idea. There are those who seek to control the young widow, keeping her imprisoned through emotional manipulation and physical coercion. With her growing restlessness, the very people she loves and trusts the most are becoming an increasing danger to her sanity and safety.
James is determined to protect Catriona—but he will not soften to her again. She rejected him once and James can’t risk losing his heart a second time. As heir to the Blayne baronetcy, he must marry a woman socially and politically appropriate. Such a scandalously self-indulgent lady as Catriona won’t do. Yet the pretty girl he once knew has grown into a beautiful, curvaceous woman that is every man’s dream.
Especially his.

Catriona had always been called Sunny, because that was her personality.  But since her husband's death she seems to be losing her mind. She is under the care of a doctor who is treating her for hysteria.  
James has inherited his cousin's title, but stayed away from the estate until his aunt summons him, because she fears for Sunny's mental health. The woman he finds is nothing like the beautiful innocent young girl who refused him all those years ago, and married his cousin.  
This is an intense, emotional and sexy historical romance.  It also gives us a taste of how some women where so repressed by the morals of the time, and how other unscrupulous people might take advantage of their naivety.  Even the strongest of men could find themselves bowing under the pressure to do what is expected of them, instead of what they want or need. 
I loved every page.
