The S-Factor: Sweet
Back-Blurb:
He’s back – for the love he never should have let go…

When Kane Healey had to fight the hardest battle of his life, he decided to do it alone – learning the true meaning of if you love someone you have to let them go…
Young and afraid, Rhiannon discovered she was pregnant, and the man she needed by her side was her one and only. But Kane had gone. Unaware of the precious miracle he’d left behind…

Now they have one last chance to put past mistakes behind them… As the Valentine’s Day Ball approaches, will Kane get down on one knee and make his Valentine his bride?

Review:

Trish Wylie’s latest Romance, Her One and Only Valentine, is a warm-hearted and highly enjoyable contemporary romance that will, in true Trish Wylie style, make you laugh out loud as well as shed a tear!

Kane Healey was the first man Rhiannon McNally had loved – and he was also the father of her daughter Lizzie. However, Kane hadn’t wanted to have anything to do with Lizzie, so Rhiannon met and married another man and tried her best to get on with life. But when, years later, Kane comes back into her life, he drops a bombshell: he didn’t know that Lizzie was his daughter.

Kane is keen to get to know Lizzie, and in the process he finds himself getting close to Rhiannon,who is now widowed, once again. As their old flame rekindles, Rhiannon and Kane realize that theirs is a love that had never died. However, has too much water gone under the bridge for the two of them? Or will they be given a second chance?

Her One and Only Valentine is Trish Wylie at her very best! Emotional, dramatic, witty and moving, Her One and Only Valentine is a fabulous romance from a writer who always delivers!

The S-Factor: Simmering
Back-Blurb:

He’s her boss – and she’ll be his mistress…

When high-flying Daniel Graydon hires Lucy Delaney as a temporary bar manager, he doesn’t expect much from her. Lucy is the complete opposite of him – flighty, carefree and fun-loving. He certainly can’t work out why on earth he’s so attracted to her!

Review:

If you’re looking for a romance that is fun, fresh, feisty and feel-good, then you’d better add Mistress Under Contract by Natalie Anderson to your auto-buy list!

Hot-shot lawyer Daniel Graydon has got enough on his plate; he certainly doesn’t need the extra pressure of running his cousin’s club, while she’s off gallivanting round the world! As luck would have it, he meets Lucy Delaney, a woman who immediately informs him that she’s the answer to his prayers!

Lucy is looking forward to working for Daniel and she’s determined to prove to him that she can look after his cousin’s bar and make a success of it. However, what Lucy hasn’t counted on is falling in love with Daniel.

Daniel is her polar opposite and Lucy knows that she shouldn’t fall for him. However, when he kisses her, Lucy begins to wish that the two of them weren’t so different after all!

Will Daniel be able to convince Lucy that she’s the only woman for him?

Natalie Anderson is absolutely wonderful and I just cannot resist lapping up her novels in a single sitting! Mistress Under Contract is a fantastic contemporary romance full of intense emotions, funny moments, blazing sexual tension and moving romance; don’t miss it!
