REVIEW: His Millionaire Maid By, Coleen Kwan

His new hire has a secret...

As far as Nina Beaumont is concerned, money ruins everything. Leave it to her wealthy family to screw up her professional life and her personal life. When she crashes and her car sinks, sending her identification and all her belongings spiraling into the watery abyss, Nina sees her chance to escape.

And stumbles into a job with the hottest man she’s ever met…as his maid.

Between running an inn, caring for his grandmother, and trying to keep the dirty-dealing Beaumont Corporation from stealing his land, Joe Farina's plate is full. He doesn't have time for romantic entanglements—especially not with the suspiciously bad maid he just hired, no matter how much he needs her…both in and out of his bed.

Screwing with her life is one thing, but Nina’s not about to let her family screw with Joe. That is, if she doesn’t lose him when he finds out who she really is.

Review

His Millionaire Maid is a cute read by Coleen Kwan. It brings together two different people who come from and live through circumstances you really wouldn’t expect or really think of. The writing was done well and the characters were interesting. This novel rode the middle ground for me. There isn’t much for me to say good or bad about it. I wasn’t overwhelmed with how much I loved it, but I also wasn’t underwhelmed with the story either. It is definitely a book that you can pick up and enjoy.

When the story tells you that Joe’s life is hectic it isn’t lying. Joe seems to be the go-to-guy for everyone around him. He has a lot on his plate and adding a relationship is not something he is interested in. Joe is more likely to run away from a potential relationship then try and make it work. When his new maid shows up late, a complete mess, and doesn’t seem to know how to be a maid he doesn’t know why he is intrigued or why he wants to keep her around.

I really thought that Nina was going to be the typical spoiled little rich girl and she was in the beginning. I stuck through the beginning because of Joe and Nina’s hilarious moments. I am glad that I did. She knows how she is acting and definitely tries to change it. Nina is ready to make her own way through life whether her family wants her to or not. When her car sinks with all of her identification she looks for work in a close B&B and there she meets Joe and is instantly intrigued.

The two characters are definitely not love at first sight and it might not even be like. It is complete interest and lust that grows. They but head and fight through a lot of this book but it definitely adds to their relationship and the story. There is definitely tension underneath it all just waiting to boil over. If you’re looking for a good, fun, and easy romance give this book a shot. It’s not intense with the tension but it is well written and great or a short escape!

ABOUT SWEET SINFUL NIGHTS:

A sexy, suspenseful new romance novel from Lauren Blakely, author of the New York Times Bestselling Seductive Nights series….

She was the one who got away…

Ten years ago, Brent Nichols let the love of his life slip through his fingers. It’s his greatest regret, especially since she’s all but disappeared. But when the gorgeous and captivating woman walks into his life unexpectedly, he’s determined to win her back. Whatever it takes, he won’t make the same mistake twice.

Easier said than done…

Shannon Paige has hardened her heart to the man she was once engaged to be married to. After the way he left, and after the hell she’s been through with her checkered family, there’s no way she’s letting him into her life again. The problem is, the second she sees him, he’s more handsome and charming than before. And she’s torn between wanting to fight with him and wanting to sleep with him - maybe both. Soon they fall into each other’s arms, consumed with a desire that burns through the years.

But if these two fiery lovers are going to have a real second chance at this kind of intense, passionate, bone-deep love, he’ll have to give her his whole heart, and she’ll have to give up all the secrets from her messy past.

And that messy past is about to spill over into her carefully constructed present…

SWEET SINFUL NIGHTS is book one in SINFUL NIGHTS, a four-book series. Each book will follow a new couple.

REVIEW: Safe At Last (Slow Burn #3) By, Maya Banks

The third book in the beloved #1 bestselling author’s sexy, romantic suspense Slow Burn series…

They say young love doesn’t last, but a girl from the wrong side of the tracks with unique abilities and the hometown golden boy were determined to defy the odds. For Zack Covington, Anna-Grace—his “Gracie”—was the one. Until one night forever alters the course of their future, when a devastated Gracie disappears without a trace, leaving Zack to agonize over what happened to the girl he loved. As the years pass, his desperate efforts to find her uncovered nothing.

Now working for Devereaux Security, he stumbles across a painting featuring a special place only he and Gracie would know. The image is too perfectly rendered for it to be coincidence. His Gracie must be alive. When he finally tracks her down, he is shocked—and heart-broken—to discover the wounded shell of the girl he once knew and still loves. Her psychic gifts are gone, and worse, she believes he betrayed her all those years ago.

Zack has enemies, and once his weakness is discovered, Gracie becomes a target for revenge. He’ll have to save her before he can earn her trust and her love. And he vows they’ll never be torn apart again.

Review

I loved the first two Slow Burn novels and when I met Zack he immediately became one of my favorites from In His Keeping. In His Keeping is definitely my favorite book even after reading this novel but Zack is still definitely a bad ass sweetheart. There was so much to this book. There were secrets, betrayal, and definitely love. Maya Banks gave us a well written series and I definitely hope it continues.

“He’d been her best- and only- friend. The one she turned to for comfort. Love. Acceptance. The very best part of her very being, her heart, her soul. He’d been her confidant. The one person she trusted never to let her down, as so many had in her young life.”

Zack met the love of his life when he was in high school. He made every plan he ever had surrounding them together. When he left for college Gracie disappeared and was never heard from again. He has been searching for her for twelve years. For twelve years he has been living in heart break and just when he is ready to let her ghost go the unthinkable happens, he sees Gracie walks back into his life. Gracie has been through the ultimate betrayal. The love of her life did something so despicable she left home and never looked back. For twelve years she has been running from Zack and every memory of him because he took more than her trust with him, he also took her ability.

“Not just a part”, he said adamantly. “All of it, Gracie. My heart, soul, body and mind. I never gave to anybody what was yours to keep.”

Like I said before Zack has always been one of my favorite characters. He is sweet and caring to the people he cares about. Zack is also a complete badass. He fights for the people he loves and he never forgets. Zack is closed off to most people and when we see him finally open up to get Gracie back you fall even more in love with him. I really felt for Gracie’s character. But I had some problems really liking her character. I don’t think it had anything to do with her as a character, it had more to do with I loved Zack so much I couldn’t believe that she believed he had anything to do with it. Even though she had been through something terrible, she was still relatively strong about it. Even though she ran she was still living and she pursued her dream, which definitely won points.

“I’ll never ask for another thing as long as I live,” he said in a hoarse voice. “All I ever wanted was you.”

If you have ever read any of the Slow Burn series you know that there is this group that has been after them for a while and they are back. Now Zack has to protect Gracie from them even when she is terrified to be in the same room as him. This story line definitely had action but it was also the most heartbreaking of the three. Zack and Gracie definitely had some lies and a huge amount of betrayal to get through. We get to see some of our favorite characters come back and we get to see the women stand up and kick some serious ass. There were so many great things about this book. The writing was as well done as always. The romance was there and Zack ended up being so much more than we ever knew. I loved this series and I hope it continues. I definitely think that everyone who loves romance with a little something extra thrown in there should pick up these books.
