I’ve got some wonderful reads coming up this week! The
weather has been quite cold as of late and it definitely puts me in a Christmas
spirit. I just love the holidays!
First I’m reading: The
Duke's Match Girl (Fiery Tales Book 3) by Lila DiPasqua.
About:
*A hot historical.*
Heat up the holidays with a scorching historical
holiday romance novella from the acclaimed Fiery Tales series. A romantic,
steamy retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl.
As childhood friends, Leopold d'Ermart and Suzanne
Matchet were inseparable. One unforgettable Christmas Eve, their relationship
changed from the best of friends...to lovers. But the heir of the Duke of
Mont-Marly isn't supposed to fall in love with the daughter of his family's
physician. Or vice versa.
Is this a second chance at first love?
Years later, Suzanne is dreading her first Christmas
without her father. The heartbreak Leo caused when he left seven years ago is a
distant memory. And she prefers to keep it that way. The last thing Suzanne
expects is for tall, dark, and sinfully seductive Leo d'Ermart to show up at
her door and announce he wants her back in his life. And in his bed. Worse, the
now celebrated libertine is even more devastating to a woman's senses than ever
before...
Or are they playing with fire?
The only woman Leo, Duke of Mont-Marly, has ever
yearned for is the adorably unconventional, intelligent beauty who got away. He
discovers Suzanne creating and selling matchsticks, elixirs for the ill...and
is still so damned alluring. Leo is determined to show her the depth of his
desire, win back Suzanne's heart. And give her a Christmas beyond her wildest
imagination...
One
for the Rogue: The Bachelor Lords of London by Charis Michaels
About:
Beauregard “Beau” Courtland has no use for the whims
of society and even less for aristocratic titles. As a younger son, he travels
the world in search of adventure with no plans to settle down. Even when the
title of Viscount Rainsleigh is suddenly forced upon him, he will not bend to
duty or decorum. Not until an alluring young woman appears on the deck of his
houseboat, determined to teach him propriety in all things and tempting him
with every forbidden touch…
Lady Emmaline Crumbley has had a wretched year. Her
elderly husband dropped dead without naming her in his will and she’s been
relegated to the life of a dowager duchess at the age of 23. She has no wish to
instruct a renegade viscount in respectability, but desperate to escape her
greedy stepson, Beau’s family makes her an offer she cannot refuse: teach the new lord to behave like a gentleman,
and they’ll help her earn the new, self-sufficient life of her dreams. Emmaline
agrees, only to discover that instructing the viscount is one thing, but
resisting him is quite another. How can she teach manners to the rakish
nobleman if he is determined to show her the thrill of scandal instead?
Lady
Claire Is All That: Keeping Up with the Cavendishes by Maya Rodale
(Not yet available, I’ve received an ARC from the
publisher to review; however, you can pre-order your copy here)
About:
In the third installment of Maya Rodale’s
captivating, witty series, a marquess finds his fair lady—but must figure out
how to keep her
HER BRAINS…
Claire Cavendish is in search of a duke, but not for
the usual reasons. The man she seeks is a mathematician; the man she
unwittingly finds is Lord Fox: dynamic, athletic, and as bored by the equations
Claire adores as she is by the social whirl upon which he thrives. As
attractive as Fox is, he’s of no use to Claire . . . or is he?
PLUS HIS
BRAWN . . .
Fox’s male pride has been bruised ever since his
fiancée jilted him. One way to recover: win a bet that he can transform Lady
Claire, Society’s roughest diamond, into its most prized jewel. But Claire has
other ideas—shockingly steamy ones . . .
EQUALS A STUDY IN SEDUCTION . . .
By Claire’s calculations, Fox is the perfect man to
satisfy her sensual curiosity. In Fox’s estimation, Claire is the perfect woman
to prove his mastery of the ton. But the one thing neither of them counted on
is love . . .
SO that’s what’s on my reading list for this week! With
this cold weather, I intend to curl up with plenty of hot tea, my super comfy,
soft blanket and read away!
Happy Reading!
Marie
