Blurbs are Back
April 24, 2008
Well, it's baseball season here in Milwaukee, so I thought I start sharing pictures of our players. First up is Gabe Kapler, outfielder. They actually showed this picture on our local news, so it is very relevent to baseball. Go Brewers!
Now on to the WW ladies book blurbs.
The Duke Next Door by Celeste Bradley
Read by Emily
Deirdre Cantor has always been in love with Lord Calder Marbrook, Marquis of Brookhaven. After a marriage of convenience, she vows to make him fall in love with her. Her dominating new husband reveals a shocking secret, and expects her participation. Through 
their struggles Calder finds himself respecting her inner strength. When a former suitor threatens their marriage, Calder realizes his feelings for his new wife are more than just lust. But did he open his heart too late?
The Duke Next Door is the second book in the new Heiress Brides series by Celeste Bradley. I read the first, Desperately Seeking a Duke and I can’t wait for the third book, Duke Most Wanted. I had enjoyed Celeste Bradley’s Royal Four series, so I knew that I would enjoy this series too. But I hadn’t taken into account the exciting characters, and attention-grabbing plot line that makes this book an amazing experience. I highly recommend you read all of Celeste Bradley’s books, but most especially the new Heiress Brides series. (I just finished Duke Most Wanted and I'll pass it on to you Emily, you won't be disappointed)
Only With A Cowboy 
Read by Judy
Three authors revealing potent stories with a common theme – A Cowboy.
Hard in the Saddle by
P.J. Mellor is the story of Madison St. Claire’s adventure or rather misadventure as a “city slicker.” She is rescued from ruin by a sexy, secretive and VERY Possesive Cowboy.
The high school sweethearts, Wendi and Mike come alive in
Vonna Harper’s Breeding Season. Having gone separate ways right after high school, their reunion is quite steamy. This story gives a whole new meaning to the term “Breeding Season”.
Melissa MacNeal delivers a sensual and sexual story. Banker Jane Cook turns down a loan for Luke McGrew, but saying no to Luke in other things is not so easy.
The Bad Boy and Plain Jane tale has never been told like this before.
Had I known just how sexy, sensual and downright horny Cowboys are I might have made a trip out West to experience the electricity they generate. (Sexually explicit)
Rogue’s Lady by Julia Justiss

When William requests that Allegra help him become ton polished and search for a wealthy bride she agrees only because he offers to help her attract the notice of Rob. Yet over time, Allegra can’t help but see the amazing person that lies beneath the rakish demeanor. But when a conflict arises will the new relationship keep the pair together or drive them apart?
Julia Justiss’ new novel Rogue’s Lady is a fantastic novel whose characters will defiantly capture your attention. Both Allegra and William have so many trials that they need to overcome. But you can tell throughout the book that they are trying to control themselves around each other. You can almost feel the tension when they are together. I hope you enjoy Rogue’s Lady as much as I have. Enjoy!

The Kiss by Sophia Nash 
Read by Emily
Georgiana Wilde has been in love with Quinn Fortesque for what seems like forever. He is recently widowed and returns to the family estate and is once again under the spell of “Miss” Wilde. While he was away she had married his cousin and Quinn believes she’s still in love with her dead husband. Can she convince him, her heart beats only for him, before he makes the biggest mistake of his life?
Throughout the book I was always asking “Does he or doesn’t he?” Unrequited love is love of the worst kind, and Georgiana believes this to be true. But in the end true love always triumphs, or so they say! Enjoy The Kiss Sophia Nash’s newest novel and find what true love is all about.
Bottom Line: I had baseball cards when I was a kid and none of them looked like Gabe Kapler. Of course, mine all had baseball uniforms on...why is that again?
