Never steal a heart unless you can afford to lose your own.
Lively St. Lemeston, Book 2
Through sheer force of will, Ash Cohen raised himself and his younger brother from the London slums to become the best of confidence men. He’s heartbroken to learn Rafe wants out of the life, but determined to grant his brother his wish.
It seems simple: find a lonely, wealthy woman. If he can get her to fall in love with Rafe, his brother will be set. There’s just one problem–Ash can’t take his eyes off her.
Heiress Lydia Reeve is immediately drawn to the kind, unassuming stranger who asks to tour her family’s portrait gallery. And if she married, she could use the money from her dowry for her philanthropic schemes. The attraction seems mutual and oh so serendipitous–until she realizes Ash is determined to matchmake for his younger brother.
When Lydia’s passionate kiss puts Rafe’s future at risk, Ash is forced to reveal a terrible family secret. Rafe disappears, and Lydia asks Ash to marry her instead. Leaving Ash to wonder–did he choose the perfect woman for his brother, or for himself?
Warning: Contains secrets and pies.
Menage by Emma Holly $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Bookstore owner Kate comes home from work one day to find her two flatmates in bed…together. Joe – a sensitive composer – is mortified. Sean – an irrepressible bad boy – asks her to join in!
Kate’s been fantasising about her hunky new housesmates since they moved in, but she was convinced they were both gay. Realising that pleasure is a multi-faceted thing, she sets her cares aside and embarks on a ménage à trois with the wild duo. Kate wants nothing more than to keep both her admirers happy, but inevitably things become complicated, especially at work. Kate has told her colleagues that Joe and Sean are gay but the gossip begins when she’s caught in a clinch with one of them in her lunch hour! To add to this, one of Kate’s more conservative suitors is showing interest again, but she’s hooked on the different kind of loving that she enjoys with her boys – even though she knows it cannot last. Or can it?
Royal Savage by Victoria Ashley $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
ROYAL SAVAGE
I CAN’T CLOSE MY EYES… I refuse to. Every time I do, all I see is blood, death, and pain. I can feel it – almost taste it, bringing me back to that night.
It doesn’t matter that I’m still breathing; I no longer need it, I no longer want it. I despise it along with everything else around me.
The only thing I long for is to fucking fade away. I’ve given up. Until her at least…
AVALON.
She comes into my world, knocking me on my ass.
It turns me on to have her around me. Makes me want to wrap my hand around her tight little throat and fuck her until she feels my pain, feels the monster in me, but also makes me want to protect her from the very thing that she should be afraid of… me.
Once she sees the damage that I’m capable of; she’ll look at me like everyone else around me does: with fear.
AVALON KNIGHT
HIS EYES… THE DARKNESS IN them draws me to him, making me want to taste him, feel him… and save him. I shouldn’t have gotten on the back of his motorcycle that day. I know that now. Colton warned me. I was told it was dangerous. I was told that nothing would be the same. He was right.
ROYAL is dangerous, dark, and seductive; the very thing that keeps me hanging on, willing to give my last breath just to touch him… breathe him in.
He’s savage, inked, and highly captivating. So different from his brother…
He’s hazardous to my health, mind, and body, yet the only thing that I crave. I want to free him. I want to change his mind, but I’m afraid that he’s already too faded…
Cartel: Book 1 by Lili St Germain $ 0.99
From the Jacket Copy:
The first full length GYPSY BROTHERS novel from the smash hit author Lili St Germain. Now a USA today bestseller!
How much is a life worth?
Mariana Rodriguez is the eldest daughter of a Colombian drug lord. Growing up in Villanueva, Colombia, she has never wanted for anything. Private schools, a lavish lifestyle, and the safety of the Cartel that her father works for.
At nineteen, she’s got her entire life mapped out, and what a good life it’s going to be: graduate from college, move to America, and finally be free from the stifling grip of the Cartel.
Only, her father messes up. A shipment of cocaine – a very large, very valuable shipment – is seized by the authorities whilst under his care and he becomes liable for the debt. Half a million dollars’ worth of cocaine.
Half a million dollars he does not have.
But he has a daughter, a very smart one, a daughter who would give up her very existence and offer herself as payment for her father’s sins, to ensure her family survives.
But falling in love with the man who ownS her isn’t part of the plan…
You mentioned the lack of Jewish characters in the Romance genre………..Jenny Holidays third 49th floor book has Marcus, a Jewish CEO who falls for a beautiful Indian woman. Lots of family drama and a really good read (IMO). I enjoyed the Rose Lerner book and really loved her latest.
I adore Emma Holly’s stories. I have to say this book Menage painted several scenes that have stayed with me.
The Duchess War by Courtney Milan is free on Google Play, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. :)
True Pretenses was a great read- a great follow up to Sweet Disorder. Menage may have been my first true erotica book and I remember it fondly. May be due for a re-visit.
