Title: Bedded by Arrangement
Author: Natalie Anderson
Line: Mills and Boon Modern Romance Extra
Release month: November 2007
The S-Factor: Sizzling
Back-Blurb:

His one-month mistress…
Jake Rendel is a successful millionaire who works hard and plays hard – unlike his old neighbour, Emma Delaney, who’s stifled by her uninspiring job. So whilst Jake’s in town, he makes Emma a proposition to shake off her prim and proper image: for a month they’ll pretend to be having a hot and steamy affair!

Emma’s out of her depth – and things quickly get passionate in private as well as in public… All too soon this quiet girl-next-door is wishing the month will never end…unless her role as the playboy’s temporary mistress could become a lot more permanent…

Review:

Natalie Anderson is one of the hottest new voices in romance and she is back with another scintillating romance blazing with plenty of intensity and heat – Bedded by Arrangement!

Emma Delaney is a good girl par excellence. She’s never been tempted to stray onto the wild side and hasn’t had a date in years! But when she overhears some nasty remarks from her colleagues she decides to show them that she isn’t as strait laced as they think she is – all she needs is a gorgeous man with whom to have a steamy affair with. For convenience’s sake, of course!

So it’s a pleasant coincidence when she bumps into her childhood crush Jake Rendel who is all grown up and muscular and even more gorgeous than she remembers. She is thrilled when he agrees to her proposition for a fake steamy affair. Only little does Emma know that soon she’ll start wishing that Jake’s pretend kisses were for real.

Fans of sexy romances will devour in a single sitting this engaging and engrossing romantic page turner! Written with plenty of flair and style, Bedded by Arrangement is steamy, sophisticated and so absorbing, you won't be able to put it down!

The Spanish Prince's Virgin Bride - Sandra Marton

Title: The Spanish Prince’s Virgin Bride
Author: Sandra Marton
Line: Harlequin Presents
Release month ( North America/ UK / Australia): October 2007/December 2007

The S-Factor: Sizzling
Back-Blurb:

'I cannot imagine a virgin would return a kiss with such fervor.'

Prince Lucas Reyes is angry. His grandfather is forcing him into marriage with penniless Alyssa McDonough who's pretending she's untouched by any man. But the intense sexual chemistry between them tells him otherwise.…

Lucas's fiery royal blood is roused! He'll force Lyssa to go to Spain with him, where he can get their marriage annulled. Because he'd swear that she's pure, uninhibited mistress material, and never a virgin bride!

Review:

International best-selling author Sandra Marton concludes her spellbinding Billionaire’s Brides mini-series with The Spanish Prince’s Virgin Bride, a sizzling romantic read laden with all the passion and emotion which Sandra Marton is renowned for!

Prince Lucas Reyes thinks that his grandfather has sent him to a Texan ranch to look at horses – not to saddle him with a woman who is as far removed from his idea of the perfect partner as it is possible to get. Alyssa McDonough is more used to dealing with recalcitrant horses than she is with sophisticated aristocrats and she’s determined that she won’t let herself be forced into a marriage with this arrogant Spaniard!

But Lucas finds himself drawn to Alyssa and even though marriage is the last thing on his mind, he is determined that he will have her in his bed!

But will the passion between the sheets translate to a love that will last a lifetime?

Harlequin Presents fans know that they can rely on the wonderful Sandra Marton for a captivating tale featuring a sassy heroine, a gorgeous Alpha male and plenty of twists and turns which will keep them turning the pages late into the night and The Spanish Prince’s Virgin Bride is certainly no exception.

Sexy, intriguing and romantic, The Spanish Prince’s Virgin Bride is another terrific novel from one of Harlequin Presents’ finest!
