Review:

In her latest Mills and Boon Modern Romance, One-Night Baby, best-selling author Susan Stephens blends sex, passion, intrigue and secrets in an unforgettable romance you will find impossible to put down!

Kate Mulhoon had always been a good girl – until Italian billionaire Santino Rossi came in to her life and she unleashed her wild side and spent an unforgettable night of passion in his arms. But when Santino went back to Italy, Kate realised that she was pregnant with his baby! Although Kate found herself homeless as her parents disowned her and penniless, she vowed not to let circumstances get her down and she’s managed to juggle motherhood with a busy career.

But the past is about to catch up with her for Kate finds herself face to face with Santino once again and although five years have passed since that unforgettable night, Santino is determined to make Kate his once again.

But Kate wants nothing to do with Santino, but will she able to resist the gorgeous billionaire? And will she be able to keep her secret?

Susan Stephens is one of my favourite Modern Romance writers and One-Night Baby is another one of her books that is heading straight for my keeper shelf! Her characters, Santino and Kate, leap off the pages and Susan’s wonderful ability to bring her exotic settings vividly to life ensures that the reader will feel as if she’s in Rome watching the action unfold.

With characters that’s impossibly not to care about, steamy sex, dramatic emotional intensity and poignant romance, One-Night Baby will keep you turning the pages late into the night and eagerly anticipating Susan Stephens’s next Modern Romance!

At The Greek Boss's Bidding by Jane Porter




Title: At The Greek Boss's Bidding

Author: Jane Porter

Line: Modern/ Presents

Release month: UK -Mar 07/ US - April 07

The S-Factor: Sizzling and Simmering

Back-Blurb:

Impossible, infuriating – and irresistible! Kristian Koumantaros is the most difficult patient Elizabeth’s ever had to care for. The arrogant Greek billionaire is used to always being in control, and isn’t taking kindly to being temporarily blinded after a helicopter crash. He refuses to be at the mercy of any employee…especially a female!
Alone with Kristian at his luxurious retreat, Elizabeth is feeling the full force of his sexual charisma. It’s out of control, and she knows she’ll have to leave – like the seven nurses who tended to Kristian before her! But Kristian won’t let her go, and he’ll use every weapon he still has…including that potent masculinity if he has to!

Review:

To describe this book I would use the adjectives passion, pain, loneliness, despair, wealth, determination and pride. This was truly a story which goes to show one that money can’t buy everything…….it can’t buy love and it certainly can’t buy happiness.
Both of these characters came from extreme wealth and position. Kristian Koumantaros was in a horrible accident and not only in pain due to physical injuries but he had lost use of his legs and eye sight. His disposition was so miserable he went through several nurses and sent them all running. Now the owner of an English nursing firm has come to an isolated location in Greece make sure she gets the job done and helps this angry and desolate man heal.

Elizabeth Hatchet suffered her own pain from a failed marriage, and hiding secrets about her past. She has been hired by a woman she believes to be Kristian’s fiancĂ© and if she does not help him to get on his feet, Elizabeth fears she will loose her nursing business. She also becomes aware of just how handsome, rugged and sexy this Greek billionaire is and vows not to succumb to his charm.
However, the tables are turned on both Kristian and Elizabeth as the attraction between them sizzles, a friendship develops and they share an evening of passion. But it doesn’t just stop there……they run into Elizabeth’s ex-husband and her true identity is exposed!
This is a wonderful story about finding peace, respect, joy and love during an incredible healing process. Bravo Jane Porter for again, entertaining your readers with a strong and powerful love story set in beautiful Greece.

The S-Factor: Simmering
Back-Blurb:
The playboy doctor’s bride!

Dr Conor Anderson was immediately intrigued by locum Kate Fisher – her dark, soulful eyes made him want to get closer. As guarded as Kate was, she couldn’t hide that she was a passionate woman. But it was only a matter of time before Kate’s past would send her on the run again…

Could this playboy doctor finally have met his match?
And could he be the one to finally heal her and bring the light back to Kate’s beautiful eyes?

Review:
Margaret McDonagh’s second Medical Romance, A Doctor Worth Waiting for is a wonderfully emotional tale which has got keeper written all over it!

Dr. Kate Fisher has accepted a job as a locum in a rural Scottish town in order to recover from a traumatic experience as well as to prove to herself that she can still cut it as a doctor. She doesn’t want to make new friends, form new relationships or be part of the community, but Dr. Conor Anderson has got other ideas.

Conor is intrigued by Kate. She’s a wonderful doctor and a beautiful woman, however, Conor is puzzled by her cautious manner. Just what is she hiding? And why is there so much pain in her eyes?

Kate doesn’t want Conor anywhere near her. She’s already had her heart broken by a former colleague so she’s certainly not going to date Conor. But Conor’s heart, kindness and charisma draw her in, but is she going to let the past get in the way of her future?

A Doctor Worth Waiting For is a fantastic romantic story which you will not be able to put down! Margaret McDonagh writes with such flair, style and heart that you’ll feel every emotion which the characters go through and you’ll be so absorbed in her novel, that you’ll simply devour it in one sitting.

In A Doctor Worth Waiting For, Margaret McDonagh blends wonderful characters, carefully conveyed medical detail, poignant romance and intense emotional drama in an absorbing and unforgettable romantic novel which you will remember long after the last page is turned.
