Review:  


 
The Lady's Bargain With The Rogue was a thrilling read, a Victorian romance with an interesting scavenger hunt.

Lady Elisabeth Bawden-Trebarr wants to regain her rights to her ancestral Cornish castle that she lost due to her late hasband's debts. So she makes a deal to buy it back to Sebastian Marsden in three weeks, there's only one problem: she has to find her family's treasure, buried centuries before, in order to have enough money to pay it.

I loved Eliza and Sebastian, they are strong, obstinate, and resilient. They both have a difficult past, they came from two prestigious families, due to different circumstances they lost everything, but they didn't lose heart and with great determination they pulled their lives together.
Sebastian and Eliza are fire together, sparks fly since their first meet, but they get closer slowly, knowing each other better and better they have the time to acknowledging and embrace their feelings.

Melissa Oliver wrote a great story. She tied exceptionaly well this storyline with her previous medieval book, and the characters are well depicted and believable.

I recommend this novel and I am looking forward to next book in the series already.

Mr. Broody by Piper Rayne

        Synopsis:   I’ve loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We’ve gone from best friends to lovers to nothing. To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love. Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began. I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out. Of course, I’m only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I’d rather forget it. But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, ...
