Still doing the Scenic Sunday countdown to Ruby Fever! Only two more Sundays to go! I am not a patient person and cliffhangers are my one big no-no. Therefore, I binged Sapphire Flames, Emerald Blaze, and an arc of Ruby Fever in July and honestly, it was the best decision I ever made for myself, holding off on reading the first two books until I had the 3rd one firmly in my grasp. In this week's Scenic Sunday countdown to Ruby Fever, we bring you a scene from the first installment of Continue Reading
Scenic Sunday- Wildfire by Ilona Andrews
Still counting down until the release of Ruby Fever! 3 more Sundays! Next week will start the Catalina/Alessandro lovefest, but first here is some more Nevada and Connor. I have several favorite scenes in this book... when Mad Rogan takes on the first Madero brother and after beating the crap out of him, warns him to forget Nevada's name. Of course, his family doesn't. This leads to one of my other favorite scenes... when Leon discovers what his magic is in the hospital parking lot. I even Continue Reading
Scenic Sunday- White Hot by Ilona Andrews
Hi! The Scenic Sunday countdown to Ruby Fever continues! Only four Sundays until the next Hidden Legacy releases and the finale to Catalina and Alessandro's story is here! I had a hard time picking a favorite scene in White Hot. This is the book where Nevada and Rogan admit they love each other amidst some harrowing, life-threatening situations. In the end, there was one scene I kept coming back to and that's what you have today. Enjoy! The door swung open and I saw Rogan standing in his Continue Reading
Scenic Sunday- Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews
There are just 5 Sundays until the release of Ruby Fever, so we are sharing our favorite scenes from each book in the Hidden Legacy series until then. This is the scene at the end of Burn for Me where Mad Rogan and Nevada save Houston from Adam and his fire. It's long, but I couldn't figure out a way to shorten it, so enjoy! "Once I begin, I may not be able to stop," Mad Rogan said. "I won't know where you are. I won't hear you. I won't see you. Do not leave the circle. No matter what Continue Reading
Scenic Sunday- Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik
This is the book that jump-started my love for Jessie Mihalik science fiction romances. If you missed our review, here is Kini and I positively gushing over it. "Are you okay?" Loch asked, expression guarded."Yes," I said slowly, "are you?"He paced the short length of the room. "You lost everything because of my stupidity. You should've left me," he said. It took me a second to follow his thoughts. Anger sparked, chasing away the fatigue, but I took a deep breath and swallowed the Continue Reading
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
Scenic Sunday: Written On His Skin by Simone Stark
I read this perfect little novella when it first came out in 2017 and I've read it multiple times since then. It's a quick little read, about120 pages in all, and every word of this tightly written book is perfect. Simone Stark really delivered the ultimate novella on her very first try and I hope she knows just how many people love this sweet. sexy story. Usually, when I do Scenic Sunday posts, I pick a book and I already know which scene I'm going to focus on. For this one though, I found Continue Reading
Scenic Sunday- The Governess Game by Tessa Dare
This is still one of the most charming, fun historical romances I've ever read. Chase's wards are a hoot: "Rosamund, it's time you learned a harsh lesson." He opened the nursery door. "We don't always get what we want in life."Didn't Chase know it. He didn't want to be guardian to a pair of orphaned girls. He didn't want to be next in line for the Belvoir dukedom. And he most assuredly did not want to be attending his fourth funeral in as many days. Yet here he was. Daisy turned to them. Continue Reading
Scenic Sunday- A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane
It doesn't matter if this author writes under the name Milla Vane or Meljean Brook, I simply adore every word she pours onto the page. This is a scene toward the end when Maddek finally realizes that Yvenne has been telling him the truth all along. "Maddek!"He reined the horse around to see Yvenne limping toward him, her face still pale and eyes still shadowed, but not in so much pain. She carried a small velvel pouch, and was digging through it--pulling out jewels, strands of gold. As if Continue Reading
