Let the Games Begin ~
Tina Donahue
When
Nick
Marlow learns that his partner has given controlling interest of their
casino
to his daughter, Tiffany, Nick is sure he’s going to have to babysit
her more
than work with her. But seeing Tiffany Taylor again all grown-up and
involved
in the business, he realizes he’s about to enter into the most crucial
game of
his life. As Nick and Tiffany make high-stake bets on one another, they
learn
that sometimes it’s even better to “lose” than win.
Not Another Fairytale ~
Jen Nicholas
Do you
think that all writers who write columns in romance magazines believe
in
romance and happily-ever-after? We would
hope so, but such is not the case for romance magazine columnist,
Allison Dare.
She doesn’t believe in happy endings or Prince Charming. But when J.T.
Freedom,
a hunk who makes her mouth dry and her body ache, falls into her arms,
Allison questions
all she’s believed. As J.T. shows her all her fantasies coming to life,
she
begins to think that she has found her very own Prince Charming after
all.
Private
Investigations ~ Jordan
Summers
Cara
Martin
and Brandon Walker haven’t seen one another in over a decade. Each of
them has
played the lead role in each of their fantasies for years. As they
stumble upon
one another, they are both surprised at the situation, but neither can
resist
acting upon their long dormant attraction to each other.
As things heat up between Brandon and Cara,
their professional images are called into question and secrets are hard
to
keep. What is Cara hiding and why? Will Brandon
realize that his best friend’s little sister is all grown-up and wants
him as
much as he wants her?
“Wicked” Women on Top showcases three authors
who are
exceptional writers. Tina Donahue is one author I am sad to say I have
never
had the pleasure to read before, but I will be tracking down copies of
the
titles from her backlist. This author captured my attention to her work
while
reading Let the Games Begin. Nick
and Tiffany are hot, electric and heart-warming characters. This story
is
fast-paced and takes a reader’s breath away. I loved the sass of
Tiffany and
the controlled nature of Nick. Together they light the world on fire!
Kudos to
Ms. Donahue for writing a contemporary romance that shines.
Jen
Nicholas’ story, Not Another Fairytale,
will have cynics like Allison Dare, believing in love. As a fan of this
author
under another pseudonym, the thing that has her at the top of my fave
list is
her writing pen. Her contemporary romances give her readers everything
they
want and more. J.T. is a walking wet dream who worms his way into the
reader’s
heart and Allison’s. The two of them
together are seductive and passionate. Watching Allison fall in love
was
endearing and wonderfully written. This author is moving up the ladder
in
contemporary romance. She’s one to watch!
Jordan
Summers’ Private Investigations is
one of my favourite kinds of story, when two people meet again after
years away
and their crush leads to so much more. I
love this kind of contemporary story and Ms. Summers delivers it
amazingly
well. Brandon and Cara set the pages on fire with their heat and the
interest
of the reader is hooked from the first page of this story. Ms. Summers
keeps
the intensity between the characters high and the story moving at a
fast pace.
Purely enjoyable!
”Wicked” Women on Top has three
wonderful contemporary romances within its pages that shouldn’t be
missed. Each
sports its own flavour and the stories are brought together nicely with
action, passion,
honest and sassy characters, and the writing talents of three authors
who give
their audience all they could want in romance. Jen Nicholas, Tina
Donahue and Jordan
Summers are three “wicked” authors on top of their writing. I can’t
wait to
read more from each of them in the future.
