Scenic Sunday: Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt
Some of my favorite romance characters are anti-heroes, and one of the best is Valentine Napier, the Duke of Montgomery in the Maiden Lane series. He sighed. "I confess, I find your naivete perplexing. How have you arrived at the advanced age of six and twenty without having anyone attempt seduction upon yourself? I'm of two minds on the matter: One, utter astonishment at my sex and their deaf disregard for your siren call. Two, glee at the thought that your innocence might signal that you Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday- Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren
I wasn't' a big Christina Lauren fan until THIS BOOK. OMG. Hanna and Will are so dirty, and sweet, and just OMG everything. I loved the way Will fell for Hanna and was just gone for her. I've wanted to do a Scenic Sunday for this book for a while, but my favorite scene is totally NSFW. I miss when this author duo wrote filthy love scenes because they were so fabulous. Anyway, this is the scene right after Hanna and Will have sex at Hanna's parent's house and almost get caught. "Oh, God," she Continue Reading
