The other day my sister sent me the link to a Halloween Hangman game. I thought I would post it here for anyone who wants to play.
Happy Halloween, everyone! 
To Tempt A Scotsman by Victoria Dahl is a marvelous historical romance. Alexandra and Collin are dynamic characters who share an intense connection in this enthralling debut novel. There’s a tantalizing excerpt of Victoria Dahl’s next historical romance at the back of this book.
Here’s the back cover blurb:
SHE HAS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE–
After finding herself at the center of a very public scandal that left one man dead and another on the run, Lady Alexandra Huntington has exiled herself to her brother’s estate and is content to manage his affairs. But the arrival of darkly handsome Collin Blackburn awakens her curiosity and her desire–and the advantage of being a fallen woman is that she can be ruined only once…
EXCEPT HER HEART…
After a promise sworn to his father, Collin Blackburn is compelled to seek the aid of the woman who brought about his brother’s death in a senseless duel. Yet Lady Alexandra is not the shameless femme fatale he expected. In fact, Collin suspects she is guilty of nothing more than a hunger to experience passion, and the brawny Scot is certainly equipped to oblige. But the quick-witted, keenly sensual Alexandra has a few lessons of her own to impart–on life, love, and the delicious joys of succumbing to temptation…
I recently won a copy of Nalini Singh’s Caressed By Ice on Ali Flores’s blog. Caressed By Ice is an excellent paranormal romance and is the third book in Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series. I found myself thinking about Judd and Brenna, along with the other characters that inhabit the psy/changeling world, long after I finished reading this story. There’s also a riveting excerpt of Mine To Possess, the next novel in the series, at the back of this book.
Here’s the back cover blurb:
Nalini Singh explores new heights of sensuality, returning to the world of the Psy–where two people who know evil intimately must unlock the good within their icy hearts…
As an Arrow, an elite soldier in the Psy Council ranks, Judd Lauren was forced to do terrible things in the name of his people. Now he is a defector, and his dark abilities have made him the most deadly of assassins–cold, pitiless, unfeeling. Until he meets Brenna…
Brenna Shane Kincaid was an innocent before she was abducted–and had her mind violated–by a serial killer. Her sense of evil runs so deep, she fears she could become a killer herself. Then the first dead body is found, victim of a familiar madness. Judd is her only hope, yet her sensual changeling side rebels against the inhuman chill of his personality, even as desire explodes between them. Shocking and raw, their passion is a danger that threatens not only their hearts, but their very lives…
Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas is a fabulous historical romance. Cam Rohan, the hero, first made his appearance in The Devil In Winter. In Mine Till Midnight, he crosses paths with Amelia Hathaway and the sparks soon fly. Their relationship, as well as the introduction of other charming characters, made Mine Till Midnight a wonderful read. 
I loved this book!
Here’s the back cover blurb:
A woman of modest means meats a society man skilled in the art of seduction in this captivating new novel from New York Times bestselling author
LISA KLEYPAS
THEIR LIVES DEFY CONVENTION
When and unexpected inheritance elevates her family to the ranks of the aristocracy, Amelia Hathaway discovers that tending to her younger sisters and wayward brother was easy compared to navigating the intricacies of the ton. Even more challenging: the attraction she feels for the tall, dark, and dangerously handsome Cam Rohan.
THEIR DESIRE CONSUMES THEM BOTH…
Wealthy beyond most men’s dreams, Cam has tired of society’s petty restrictions and longs to return to his “uncivilized” Gypsy roots. When the delectable Amelia appeals to him for help, he intends to offer only friendship–but intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both. But can a man who spurns tradition be tempted into that most time-honored arrangement: marriage? Life in London society is about to get a whole lot hotter….

Riding The Storm by Sydney Croft is fast paced, scorching, and brimming with adventure. Haley and Remy are compelling characters and the chemistry between them is absolutely sizzling. Other fascinating characters are introduced in Riding The Storm–book one in Sydney Croft’s ACRO series–and I look forward to learning more about them as the series progresses.
Congratulations to Sydney Croft for creating this intriguing world!
Here’s the back cover blurb:
A Storm’s rage. A woman’s desire.
A man with the power to set them both free.
He can summon lightning at will. Emerge unscathed from the center of a tornado. Strip a woman down to her barest defenses through the sheer force of his sexuality. He’s gorgeous, dangerous, and the target of parameteorologist Haley Holmes’s latest mission. Haley has been dispatched to the Louisiana bayous to investigate the phenomenon known as Remy Begnaud–a man with a gift he never wanted: the ability to control a storm’s fury. But even a woman trained in bizarre weather phenomena has no defense against the electrifying power of the ex-Navy SEAL…a power his enemies would kill to control.
With her agency monitoring their every move, Haley’s job is to seduce Remy, gain his trust–and help him harness his extraordinary gift. But who will protect her from this voracious lover who’s introducing her to a new world of erotic thrills–a man who grows increasingly insatiable with each new weather event? Haley knows a big storm is approaching–and with it will come unexpected delights. But so, too, will the storm unleash her greatest fears: an enemy bent on destroying Remy. And her worst fear of all–falling in love with this magnificent man, then having to betray him.
