Bevarly, Elizabeth Take Me, I'm Yours
Avon April 2, 2002 0380819600 / 9780380819607 Mass Market Paperback
From Barnes & Noble&newline;This one's by Elizabeth Bevarly -- so it's fun, fun, fun. Ruby Runyon doesn't realize until the second date that her boyfriend is not only married with children, but a mobster too. Those two social crises spoil her hot date, set the sexy waitress running for her life, and land her in the arms of a man who has plenty of experience smoothing the troubled waters of complex personal relationships. Handsome advisor to royalty Keaton Hamilton Danning III has spent the last year cruising the world with a crown prince without a country. (The prince insists he abdicated, but his people say they threw him out.) Helping a beautiful, desperate woman stow away on the royal yacht is a refreshing change from Keaton's recent diplomatic challenges -- keeping the peace between the prince and his royal entourage, including his high-born fiancée, his supermodel mistress, his German chef, an annoying dachshund, and a seemingly endless variety of social-climbing hangers-on. Keaton is determined to enjoy Ruby's down-to-earth charm and sassy sensuality -- even if they haven't been properly introduced. What happens next is a madcap sea voyage that leads to lots and lots of happily-ever-after.&newline;&newline;From the Publisher&newline;Ruby Runyon's hot date turns out to be mob-connected and married, and her only chance of escape is to crash a swanky party. At least the rich and snooty aren't out to kill her! Then, she's practically seduced by a man who is actually named Keaton Hamilton Donning III. He's out of her league, but he's also oh-so-strong and protective... and Ruby sure could use protecting right now... Most men have a secret -- and Keaton is no exception, because the unruffled chief adviser to one of the world's most snobbish royals longs to break free. After all, how many awful society parties -- with their watered-down cocktails and guests who speak with their jaws firmly clenched -- can one man take? Ruby turns his well-ordered existence on its head. She's sexy and sassy and just right for passion, But is he truly willing to take all she has to offer -- including her love? 3.5 Stars

Brandt, Beverly Room Service
New York St. Martin's Paperbacks May 18, 2003 0312984227 / 9780312984229 Mass Market Paperback
From the Publisher&newline;Maid service was something she required...&newline;&newline;Jet-setter Katya Morgan believes that love comes in gilt-wrapped packages tied with neat red bows. So when her father disinherits her, her first priority is to get her money and her cushy life back. Meanwhile, having no way to pay the enormous bill she racked up at the Royal Palmetto Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona, poses a slight problem-and the manager has the gall to suggest the unthinkable: that she pay off her debt by working at the hotel-as a maid...&newline;&newline;Not something she ever expected to provide!&newline;&newline;Alex Sheridan, the hard-working general manager of the sumptuous Royal Palmetto hotel, doesn't much care for the spoiled Ms. Morgan-at first. But when she dons the uniform and proves her mettle as a housekeeper who cares about more than cold, hard cash, he begins to change his mind. He's got plenty to distract him when a rash of disasters befalls his beloved hotel-disasters that could be the result of a saboteur. It isn't long before Katya finds herself in imminent peril just as Alex is starting to fall for the once-spoiled brat who's acting more and more like a real woman every day...&newline;&newline;&newline;Publishers Weekly&newline;Drawing on a formula similar to the one used in her previous book, Record Time, Brandt dishes up another lighthearted office romance touched with humor and suspense. Rich, pampered Katya Morgan finds herself without money, clothes and a means to support herself when her father dies and leaves everything to her stepmother. Katya is determined to come up with enough cash to contest the will and regain her party-girl lifestyle, but first she must find a job. Salvation comes in the form of handsome hotel manager Alex Sheridan, a rescuer of damsels-in-distress who happens to have an opening in housekeeping. As Katya struggles to learn how to clean toilets, ride the bus and make her own food, she strikes up a sexual relationship with Alex that quickly turns serious. The one thing standing in their way is her fear of intimacy. An unlikely subplot involving a hotel saboteur adds little suspense (Brandt's laughable villain brandishes a baseball bat instead of a pistol), and the author's tendency to reiterate her characters' motivations will wear on readers. Overall, however, this is fun, breezy beach reading. (May 6) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. 4.0 Stars

Carroll, Susan Bride Finder
New York Ballantine Books April 7, 1998 0449149277 / 9780449149270 Hardcover
From Barnes & Noble&newline;The Barnes & Noble Review&newline;Susan Carroll makes her fiction debut with a beautiful and intricate love story set against a gothic sensibility. Even though the setting of the book is the mid-18th century, there are enough forbidden keeps and shadowy castles to delight the medievalist as well as the romance reader. THE BRIDE FINDER is a story of the paranormal, and more than one ghost walks the dank corridors of the Castle Leger. Telekinetic ability and telepathy are the modes of operation for Carroll's hero, Anatole St. Leger, who broods over the curse of these terrifying powers that fate has bestowed upon him and his family. &newline;&newline;It all really began years before THE BRIDE FINDER opens. The St. Legers are a cultlike family, frightening to those who live in their vicinity. Prospero St. Leger, the patriarch ancestor of the present generation, was actually burned for witchcraft. The St. Legers have their own rituals in life, handed down over the centuries. When the St. Leger men are ready to wed, they send a designated Bride Finder out into the world. Those who marry the woman that the psychic Bride Finder claims is the right one often have productive lives. But those St. Legers who follow their own foolish hearts and marry without the aide of the Bride Finder are doomed. Anatole feels a great melancholy about his fate and family curse. He has foreseen many tragic events for those around him. And when he looks into a crystal and learns that his own fate will be sealed by a woman with hair of flame, he vows to avoid this doom at all cost. &newline;&newline;The Bride Finder, who is both a local priest and a distant relation ofAnatole,heads out on the road to find the kind of bride that Anatole has specified. When he returns, Anatole is shocked by how small and unsuited his prospective bride appears. &newline;&newline;But this is nothing compared with the shock that Madeline Breton receives when she arrives at Castle Leger. She is from a once well-to-do family that has recently fallen on hard times. Madeline recoils in horror when she sees the brute to whom she has promised herself. Madeline had no dowry and therefore no prospects for marriage; the money that the Bride Finder bestowed upon her in order to lure her into the marriage has already been spent to pay off her parents' debts. When she arrives at the gloomy castle, she hopes against hope that the master of the house is as pleasing as the miniature portrait that the Bride Finder gave her. Instead she finds a hulking monster of a man who seems to care less for her than he does his horses. &newline;&newline;Anatole has his own horror. When he rips off Madeline's fashionably powdered wig, he sees that her natural hair is flaming red, just the shade of the woman who spells his doom. &newline;&newline;And now, both because she honors her promises and because her parents have already spent the money given in the exchange, Madeline must somehow make the best of this horrific match. The Castle Leger is full of manservants, and so she brings in women from the village to help her dress, cook, clean, and get the great unused library in order. Basically, Madeline's first order of business is to tame the beast of the castle. &newline;&newline;While the new couple are learning to handle their differences and terror of each other, another storm is brewing on the horizon. The Bride Finder sees a woman in a cape weeping over the grave of one of the powerful enemies of the St. Leger family, Tyrus Mortmain. Who is this woman, and why would a Mortmain have returned to Castle Leger after her entire family burned to death years before? As the mystery of this woman's identity and intent becomes clear, Anatole and Madeline find that they must learn to trust, love, and find power in each other in order to bring light into the shadows of the castle. &newline;&newline;A twist of sorts on BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, THE BRIDE FINDER is a fantastic delight, a beautifully written novel of magical romance and the conquering power of love. Susan Carroll's story of Anatole and Madeline is as star-crossed as any lovers' tale, but humor and a very subdued sensuality elevate this story above 4.5 Stars

Coulter, Catherine Night Shadow
New York Avon August 1, 1989 0380756218 / 9780380756216 Mass Market Paperback
From the Publisher&newline;&newline;&newline;Dear Reader: &newline;&newline;Night Shadow, the second book in the Night Trilogy, originally came out in the summer of 1989. I haven't rewritten it, just cleaned it up and wrapped it in a very nice new cover. &newline;&newline;Knight Winthrop, Viscount Castlerosse, first appeared in Night Fire. He is the quintessential Regency bachelor who plans to marry and impregnate his wife just before he croaks, and thus his heir will be raised without the vagaries of his sire. &newline;&newline;Yes, Knight is a very happy camper, what with him being the center of the universe. Then the unthinkable happens. A woman shows up on his doorstep claiming to be the widow of his murdered cousin, Tristan Winthrop. As if that isn't bad enough, with her are his cousin's three children. If that still isn't enough they are destitute and have nowhere to go. To top it all off, Ugly Arnold is hard on her heels. &newline;&newline;What is Knight supposed to do now? Why, he takes them in and bids his former life goodbye. You'll laugh until your belly aches at the antics of Laura Beth, Sam, and Theo. You'll enjoy how the very clever, creative Lord Castlerosse deals with this new species. But how will he deal with his cousin's widow Lily? 4.5 Stars
