Ella Bowen-Thorn Renwick runs a bakery in Scotland while raising her daughter, Maddie. Yet lately Ella finds herself the victim of a blackmailing scheme that puts her in more and more danger. The blackmailers are taking all of her money and she has no clue on who is after her.
Devon, Lord Renwick, has been in mourning for the past 4 years since his wife died. Yet his best friend, Clive, Lord Breakerton, has just told him that Ella may in fact be alive.
As Devon and Clive travel to Ella they are surprised to learn the truth. When Devon realizes that Ella is hiding something he vows to discover what she is hiding. Devon wants Ella and Maddie back in his life and will do anything to prove his love to her. Yet Ella doesn't want Devon to know what she's hiding.
Will Devon and Ella be able to sort out their feelings for one another before it's too late?
I enjoyed this book and was surprised by the ending for sure.
I liked Ella and felt bad that she felt like she had to run in the first place and never realized how much Devon cared for her. Ella did work hard to establish her own business but knew she was in over her head when her business began to be sabotaged. Ella's first priority was Maddie and she knew that she couldn't protect her own her own and therefore relied on Devon.
I thought Devon was awesome and that he really loved Ella and wanted to prove it to her. He did everything he can to keep her and Maddie safe. I loved how far he was willing to go.
This was a great historical romance.

TRULY, MADLY, WHISKEY by Melissa Foster
My review of Voyeur by Vanessa Liebe
This is a collection of 5 short stories on the acts of voyeurism. These are 5 hot stories that will appeal to anyone looking for some non-traditional action that may cross some boundaries.
1) Good Neighbors
When Mandy sees her 20 year old neighbor John sunbathing she gets more than she bargained for.
This story shows how age doesn't matter when it comes to attraction.
2) Room With a View
James is in London for a work trip when he witnesses some hot action in another hotel room. When he is invited down the next night he is in for more than he bargained for.
This is a story about never knowing what opportunities will come up when you least expect them to. I'm sure James will be back to London as soon as he can.
3) Voyeur's Initiation
Alana loves watching her neighbors through her telescope but when she takes a trip to the pool she is surprised at what she is invited to.
This story didn't end the way I thought it was going to. I thought Alana was going to end up the neighbors and really didn't expect the events at the pool.
4) Forbidden Temptation
When Megan`s parents die when she is 16 she is left with Seth Turner as her guardian. When Megan is older she remains attracted to Seth but nothing makes her happier to hear him coming to her name.
This was a fun story about mutual attraction finally getting acted upon.
5) Skinny Dip
When Adam Evans is hired to work at Eversleigh Mansion he gets more than he plans to with a skinny dipper.
The connection between Adam and Tamara is hot and I loved how she set him up.

SLOW COOKER LASAGNA
Well this could be considered an epic fail.
I wanted lasagna and the kids, well the boy, loves lasagna so I thought why not go for it in the slow cooker so it can be ready when we get home.
I did everything as it said to do but now I am wondering if different slow cookers have different temperatures or something as mine burned.
When saying burned I mean destroyed. I have no idea why but the cheese even burned and it was gross. So unfortunately I can't tell you what it even really tastes like as all we could taste was burned cheese and pasta. I had even coated all the slow cooker ahead of time with oil to make sure nothing stuck.
I have no idea where I went wrong but if you've tried one that works please send it my way or if you have any suggestions I would love that as well!!

My review of Reclamation: The Legacy Reborn: Book One by Melissa Kay Clarke
Scarlet Anderson was given a job that she didn't ask for. She lives in solitude afraid to get close to anyone so that they may discover her secret. To the world she is a bike courier but she is a savior to those who need protection. Everything she knows was left to her in a journal written by Jason Anderson, who saved her life and thus passing the "gift" onto her.
Gage Williams is a senior detective who meets Scarlet through her living at the trailer park that his parents run. His mom Macy has taken a liking to Scarlet and knows there is more to her than she lets on. As Gage gets closer to Scarlet he realizes how guarded she is and that she is hiding something.
As Gage and Scarlet begin to get closer they both realize so much is at stake. As they each get closer to the truth will they be able to work together for a happier future or will those against Scarlet get to her before Gage does?
This was a super interesting story on the battle between good and evil but done in a unique way. It is up to Scarlet to save the lives of those not ready to leave this world yet so they may do good. Scarlet had such a big job and her life was constantly at risk but she did what she could.
I felt bad for Scarlet that she had to take on so much by herself and I was super happy once everything was finally explained to her by George Bisbey. I really liked his character and how everything finally fell into place.
Gage was awesome and I liked how caring he was about Scarlet and really knew that she wouldn't do things unless necessary, such as her conflict with Valerie. I'm glad that Gage was able to discover all of the truth about Scarlet and he was able to understand the truth.
I found it surprising to see who was working against Scarlet and the second one made everything fall into place.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!
