He's not going to take this treatment lying down. At least, not for long…

Fifteenth-century Scotland is a tough place to be a woman in charge. Brianna MacLeod, new laird of her clan, needs a child to establish her position. And the best way to do that is to demand the sexual services of her sworn—and very sexy—enemy!

Review: Bound to Please by Hope Tarr

Bound to Please Wendy the Super Librarian's review of Bound to Please by Hope Tarr
Historical romance released by Harlequin Blaze (#407) 01 July 2008

I'll admit when I first heard that Harlequin was interested in publishing some historicals under the Blaze line I didn't get it. I mean, why? We already have the Harlequin Historical line.

But whatever the weather, July is a great time to escape into reading.

Vanquish a Contest winner

May 27, 2008

Book CoverStarting a little bit of a roll here, I suppose. That and Sybil has cracked the whip and demanded these contest winners get posted by the end of the day. Which is good news for the winners, but to be honest I would rather be reading. What? Don't judge me, I'm being a good duckie and doing what I've been told. Instead of reading.

But more contest winners! Woot! Read more
