But when she steals information from them, she’s caught by brooding knight Nicholas.

I read a lot of historical romance, but very few of them from different ages than the Regency one, so I was sceptical about this, but it took me very little time to get into it. Melissa Oliver's writing was a pleasant discovery, her characters were well developped, they caught my attention and I was i...

  Synopsis: It was supposed to be a weekend of holiday cheer. Just me and my twin sister, watching Christmas movies and baking cookies. My brother was absolutely not supposed to show up with half the football team. Including Teddy. My brother’s best friend and my secret crush. I’m the shy sister. The one with her nose stuck in a book and quoting every word of Elf, not the one getting attention from guys like Teddy. He’s cool and smart and so handsome I could die. The only thing that could make things worse is if I got snowed in with him. Alone. Review: Snowed In With The Player was a nice, enjoyable and festive read. Rebecca Jenshak wrote this novella wonderfully, the writing was perfectly executed, and even if it's short it didn't feel rushed. I was sucked right into the story and I grew attached to the characters. I liked Holly so much, she is shy and her crush for her brother's teammate is so cute. Teddy is really cute too and the two together are sweet and hot. I highly...

  Synopsis: Nash Ellis knows music. Producing, performing, writing—if it involves the creative process he’s there for it. He knows nothing about copy machines. Or financial reports. Or anything related to the stuck-up business world his best friends have been chasing since they were kids. But Nash also needs money, so when his roommate gets him a paid internship at Reedweather Media, he reluctantly agrees. At least his know-it-all intern competitor is kind of cute in a nerdy-librarian sort of way—especially when she’s being tormented by an angsty rocker she can’t stand. The only thing Paige Andrews hates more than failure? Nash Ellis. She has little patience for incompetence and zero tolerance for indifference. He clearly doesn’t belong in their corporate world, so why does he insist on ruining her dream job? And the worst part—he’s not what he seems. In fact, it’s all the things he’s hiding behind those electric blue eyes that make him straight-up captivating in an ironic-slacker ...

  Synopsis: Sebastian Wainwright is handsome, British, and charming… and the last man you can rely on. Bartending at Mavericks, I’ve seen his love-em-and-leave-em routine up close, and I know better than to become another notch on his king-sized bedpost. But when a little white lie catches up with me, it turns out that Seb is exactly the man I need for the job… Posing my fake boyfriend for the week. See, I invented The Perfect Man (TM) to keep my interfering family off my case, but now I’m back home for my high-school reunion, my sister is (surprise!) engaged to my ex, and I’m first in line to win Biggest Disappointment. I need Mr. Perfect to roll up and save me from humiliation, and since he doesn’t exist, I’ll just have to settle for New York’s biggest playboy instead. A cocktail of disaster? That’s what I figure, but as we’re swept up in small-town shenanigans, family drama, and tipsy treehouse takedowns (don’t ask), I find there’s more to Seb than just charm and come-to-bed-eye...
