Sex. Coffee. Time Travel by Elle Brookes | Blog Tour with Excerpt and Giveaway

The Blurb

In Book Two, Adventure-Romance author Lesley Meryn has her 'second date', a little bit of Time Travel, with the volatile yet seductive scientist Miles Sherwood. She wakes up to a spring day in 1765 Yorkshire. Miles should be there, waiting for her, but he's nowhere to be found.

Circumstances spin rapidly out of control. Someone keeps trying to kill her new Eighteenth Century companion and self-appointed protector, Mick Kenning, a handsome and hunky stableman at the New Inn. Lesley helps him to foil these clumsy, but persistent and mysterious attempts on his life.   

As the days pass, Miles remains missing. The clock is literally ticking down the days. She has less than two weeks to find him or she may be trapped in the past. Has Miles fallen victim to the very real dangers of an earlier time?

Complications multiply with the appearance of an elusive, badass, Highwayman. With a hefty price on his head, agents of the Crown have arrived at the New Inn to track him down. For Mick it's personal, he despises the Highwayman. The Highwayman, not satisfied with jewelry, and coins, stole away the woman Mick once loved.

Will Lesley find Miles in time? What has happened to him? Will Mick ever find out who wants him dead? Will he ever find out why?

Balancing between high adventure, sword fighting, fisticuffs, pistols, and daggers, Lesley must use her wits, imagination, and every trick from her own books to find Miles, survive the Eighteenth Century, and return to her own time.

 The Excerpt

Just the Way You Aren’t, by Lynda Simmons | Blog Tour with Review, Excerpt, and Giveaway

The Blurb

What happens when an everyday Cinderella makes a play for the prince? 

A moment of madness. That’s all muralist Sunny Anderson expected when she donned a glittering mask and a fabulous gown to crash the gala at Manhattan’s newest boutique hotel. Project manager Michael Wolfe has no idea that the beauty staring up at the mural on the ballroom ceiling is also the artist who painted it. He’s captivated and she’s willing, but when their moment of madness on the sofa in his suite comes to an abrupt end, his princess is off and running, leaving nothing behind but a pair of earrings. He’s determined to find her again, but all he has to do is look closer at the woman painting the mural in his office to see that the one he needs is standing right in front of him.

The Same Last Name, by Kathleen Gilles Seidel

Read from February 13 to 14, 2013

Marriage means more than sharing the same last name.  

April Peters knew that Christopher Ramsey did not love her when they married. But Christopher's genteel Virginian background dictated that a woman about to have your baby became your wife in a hurry.... Innocently, April believed that Christopher would grow to love her once they were a family, until her baby died at birth and she was propelled into cold, harsh reality. She left Christopher without a trace as to her whereabouts and headed toward upstate New York.

Six years later as a successful State Forest Ranger April meets Christopher again. In the serene setting of a natural preserve, old passions turn to mature desires too powerful to be controlled!...from Goodreads and the back cover

I also read The Same Last Name for the week-long February Toppler. It is another old favorite, a keeper that I have read many times over the past 30 years.  The storyline has such a good romance that it was perfect for the toppler! Plus, I like that April is a Forest Ranger - that's an unusual twist for a 1983 Romance novel.  Again, what can I say?  I have a mushy side, as well as the side that delights in the murder and mayhem of a cozy mystery.

Twice in a Lifetime, by Rebecca Flanders

Read from February 11 to 13, 2013

 I read Twice in a Lifetime for the week-long February Toppler, of the You'll Love This One group on Goodreads.  

The toppler theme is It's a Love / Hate Thing, and the idea is to read as many books as possible within the theme.  I decided to fall back on some old favorites of mine, some oldies-but-goodies, that will be quick reads.

Twice in a Lifetime is one such old favorite, that I have read many times over the past 30 years.  The storyline has such a good romance that it was perfect for the toppler!

Barbara, a young widow, keeps fighting her attraction to Kyle, her sister's brother-in-law, because Barbara believes that true love only happens once in a lifetime.  Does Kyle succeed in convincing Barbara that true love can come along twice in a lifetime?   

Spoiler Alert:  Well, yes, he does.  But the fun part is reading about how Kyle convinces her! 

(I'm not really sure why this Romance novel, written in 1983, is such a favorite of mine, while the 2012 Romance novel  Waking Up Married barely rated Three Kitties.  But it is.  Oh, well.)

Waking Up Married, by Mira Lyn Kelly

Read on February 10, 2013

I read  Waking Up Married for the February Toppler of the You'll Love This One group on Goodreads.  The toppler theme was It's a Love / Hate Thing, and I thought this free Kindle Romance book would be appropriate.

I liked it alright, but since I am not a big Chick-Lit fan, I probably won't read any more by this author.

The storyline was amusing, so it would make a good beach read for Romance fans.
