When Seducing a Duke by Kathryn Smith


Genre: Historical Romance; 1800’s
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Enchant. Tempt. Entice. Beguile. Just a few things a woman must do when seducing a duke . . . Rose Danvers charms her way into the glittering masked ball with only one man on her mind. She would risk certain scandal for a kiss from Greyden Kane, Duke of Ryeton—though she lusts for much, much more . . . The ravishing woman in burgundy takes Grey's breath away. She reminds him of the sheltered beauty entrusted to his care, the only one who has ever touched his icy heart. But Rose would never allow herself to be so indiscreet, so ruled by passion . . . Believing their forbidden embrace a terrible mistake, Grey knows he must do the honorable thing and find Rose a husband. But Rose will not be pawned off for propriety's sake. She will not rest until her seduction is complete and she has the duke bedded, wedded, and deeply satisfied. All he has to do is say yes . . .

Grey was a rack, and only worked for his own selfish deeds before he was attacked. Now he does not want to have anything to do with society. Rose has wanted to be with the Duke for years. She has come up with a plan to seduce him that may just back fire. This story is imaginative and entertaining. The two main characters bring the book to life as they dance around their feelings. Grey is so interested in doing right by Rose and not having any love for himself. I don’t want to say any more as I will give away the story. I really like this book and look forward to reading the next book, When Marrying a Scoundrel.

Weddings From Hell by Maggie Shayne, Jeaniene Frost, Terri Garey, Kathryn Smith


Genre: Paranormal Romance; Vampires, Ghosts, Curses
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Some marriages are made in heaven . . . Some are not. What happens when "the happiest day of your life" turns into a nightmare? Forget the drunken best man or the bridesmaid dresses from the '80s . . . none of these wedding day disasters can compare to a cursed bride determined to make it down the aisle, or a vampire who is about to disrupt your wedding.

This is another anthology with a wedding theme. We have some of the bestselling authors for Paranormal Romance. With stories about vampires, ghosts, and family curses. I don’t want to go into them as they are short stories but they are brilliant. I will say that you do get to see Jeaniene Frost’s Bones in this as a secondary character. I love this book and couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. It’s one that I think you will all enjoy.
