01 Un Seductor Sin Corazón
Dropbox

Devon Ravenel, el libertino más perversamente encantador de Londres acaba de heredar un condado. Pero su nuevo y poderoso rango viene acompañado de responsabilidades no deseadas y más de una sorpresa. La propiedad está llena de deudas, y la casa aún está ocupada por las tres inocentes hermanas del anterior conde y por Kathleen, Lady Trenear, una hermosa y joven viuda, cuyo ingenio y determinación compite con el de Devon.

Desde el primer momento en que Devon la tiene en sus brazos, jura hacer lo que sea necesario para poseerla. Cuando Kathleen empieza a ceder a su seducción, solamente queda una pregunta: ¿puede evitar que su corazón se rinda al hombre más peligroso que ha conocido nunca?

What's on your Christmas Reading List? (+Giveaway)

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Beverley Kendall was not able to provide a scene for the event today. In lieu, I'll be putting together a small post featuring some of my favorite holiday reads and Beverley will be giving away some of HER fave holiday reads! Enjoy!

It's that time of year again! Mad dashes to Bath and Body works & Old Navy for last minute Xmas gifts, lots of studying late into the winter nights for finals, working retail while EVERYONE is last minute shopping as well-- this is what my last few winters have been like. Life can get crazy/overwhelming all year long- but especially when the snow hits the ground and your room starts to resemble the wrapping room at Santa's toy shop!

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to plan a day for myself when I have no school or work and stay in all day, cuddled under covers with comfort foods and one of my all-time favorite holiday reads close at hand. Revisiting these classics help get me in the spirit and maybe they have/or can for you too!

1.) A Wallflower Christmas by Lisa Kleypas

Readers get to catch up with their favorite Wallflowers and meet a new addition who'll be swept away by an unwitting devil-may-care American. As a huge fan of this series, I got SOOO much ungodly glee out of this novel and every winter, this book gets broken out and re-fawned over!

2.) The Holiday Present by Johanna Lindsey

This book features TWO stories- The first (just like my last pick) is in an Epilogue-ish vain, giving fans of the previous books from the series the chance to catch up with some of the characters that found their HEA, while also introducing the reader to a love story that was brought up routinely through out the other books. The second story was one I had the pleasure of enjoying during my first christmas as an offcial romance junkie. My addiction to romance books was out of control and when I strolled through the aisle of my local library, 4 books already tucked under my arm, I spotted a name I was becoming quite fond of. It was an Xmas themed book at that- so I knew I had to read it and after that year the story became a permanent fixture in my holiday reading queue.

3.) And we can't forget Grace Burrowes' Windham series and the two Christmas-titled knock-outs!
Lady Sophie's Christmas Wish and Lady Louisa's Christmas Knight.

I've had a lot of fun remembering the stories that embody Christmas to me! So how about you guys? Tell me which books scream HOLIDAY to you and you can't help but revisit this time of year!

Coming Soon: Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas (SQUEEE)

So like myself, I am sure that all of you fab readers out there are eagerly awaiting the release of the first full length contemporary novel in Lisa Kleypas' 'Friday Harbor' series (The first book was the novella entitled 'Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor'). I'll be posting updates and info on the new book, which is set to release February 28th, 2012 , periodically on this blog, so stay tuned!

Overview from B&N.com:

Lucy Marinn is a glass artist living in mystical, beautiful, Friday Harbor, Washington. She is stunned and blindsided by the most bitter kind of betrayal: her fiancé Kevin has left her. His new lover is Lucy’s own sister. Lucy's bitterness over being dumped is multiplied by the fact that she has constantly made the wrong choices in her romantic life. Facing the severe disapproval of Lucy's parents, Kevin asks his friend Sam Nolan, a local vineyard owner on San Juan Island, to "romance" Lucy and hopefully loosen her up and get her over her anger. Complications ensue when Sam and Lucy begin to fall in love, Kevin has second thoughts, and Lucy discovers that the new relationship in her life began under false pretenses. Questions about love, loyalty, old patterns, mistakes, and new beginnings are explored as Lucy learns that some things in life—even after being broken—can be made into something new and beautiful.
