Welcome to Sugarbeat’s Books – The Home of the Romance Novel
Welcome also to Steamy Saturdays! This is the day of the week where I review a book that I’ve read that is on the steamier side of romance. Most of you know how fond I am of the Blaze line from Harlequin – here’s another one of these lovely little red books! Enjoy!
One Man Rush by Joanne Rock
ISBN: 978-0-373-79682-3

Blurb:
Matchmaking Case File #114
Requested Match: Kyle Murphy, pro hockey player. (This guy can score.)
Challenge: Not looking for anything serious (yet).
Notes: Ridiculously attractive, sexy, irresistible…and I want him for myself!
Matchmaker Marissa Collins is looking for a man. A hot, successful man. But the man she’s considering—hockey player Kyle Murphy—is for a prospective client. Marissa’s matchmaking professionalism goes MIA, though, when she meets Kyle…who’s not coming along quietly.
Kyle isn’t looking for a match. He has his eye on the prize—the Stanley Cup—or at least he did before Marissa dropped into his life. Now he’s playing a new game, one where getting Marissa in bed is the goal. And if he has to play dirty…that’s even better.
One Man Rush by Joanne Rock is another Blaze novel that arrived in that little brown box, once each month!
These little red books are mind candy. They fit in my purse and entertain me when I get stuck at a dance studio, ice rink or swimming pool! They are the perfect spicy read!
This story is no different than most of the Blaze stories that I read. It is ultra hot, entertaining and well written.
Marissa Collins is the daughter of a famous singer who was injured in a car accident. Marissa is now responsible for supporting her mother, and has turned to matchmaking to make money. She has had some successes and some high profile clients. She has been hired to match hockey player Kyle Murphy with a socialite. The meeting goes from bad to worse when she first meets him. The chemistry between the two of them is intense! It wouldn’t do for word to get around about her stealing potential clients!
Kyle Murphy is a man who knows what he wants. He has his head screwed on right and he is entering the playoffs. He needs his full concentration on his game and doesn’t need to be messing with a relationship. After one screwed up practice, he decides that he needs Marissa at his side so that he can concentrate on his game. That starts the beginning of a pursuit that ends in a HEA!
I liked the characters of Marissa and Kyle. I liked the old fashioned values that were present despite the steaminess of the story. I’ve read many books by Joanne Rock, and I continue to enjoy her writing! Pick up a copy of this book and enjoy a few hours of reading!
Craig’s Legacy by Terry Campbell
ASIN: B004OYUH8S
Publisher: Black Opal Books
Release Date: 9/20/2011
Blurb:
She’s from the twenty-first century…
Thrust back in time, Frankie Mathews is the quintessential fish out of water. She’s gone from running a major money market fund to a world where women milk cows. Too bad for Frankie that the nearest she’s ever been to a cow is a “Got Milk” commercial. Now, she has to save the life of Confederate Colonel Benjamin Craig and return to her own century with him in tow, before she changes history beyond recognition—and gets killed in the process.
He’s been fighting the Civil War in 1864…
To survive the Union deserters and his grasping, widowed sister-in-law, Ben needs Frankie’s quick thinking and never-give-up attitude that comes from her independence as a 21st Century woman.
But can the two lovers span the centuries between them and find a common future?
This book spans centuries to bring two soul mates together. Craig’s Legacy combines outstanding characters and a beautifully told love story mainly set in war torn Virginia to produce a engaging story that is a must read. One of the most realistic time-travel romances I’ve read in a long time!
Craig’s Legacy was a wonderful surprise for me to read. I’m not sure what I expected from the blurb, but what I found was a wonderfully warm, humorous, gentle romance. Frankie Matthews has been voted the Twenty-First Century’s Financial Wunderkind. She’s a tiny little thing, but she carries a punch in the financial world as she is the portfolio manager for a major investment fund. She was orphaned at an early age and has grown up with her Aunt Ginny and Uncle Max as her “parents”. They own Craig’s Knoll – property that has been handed down through the generations, and Frankie has decided to move back home after being away from home for years. But her dreams start up again and neighbours claim that the house has a ghost. Next problem – she can see the ghost and he’s yummy! Not only that, he talks to her about saving him and leaves her flowers.
Ben Craig was killed by deserters in 1864 while trying to protect his family. He is now a ghost waiting for the right woman to go back in time to save him and recover his legacy. He feels that he has found the right woman in Frankie. He says “We’re soul mates. We’re meant to be together, in life as well as death. You must trust in yourself and me. We’ll be joined, but not in your time.” Frankie is understandably unwilling to go bak to a time with none of the comforts that she currently enjoys, but Ben pushes her into a wardrobe and she lands in 1864.
This is one of the few time-travel novels that I’ve read that dealt with the “realities” of a person being in a different time well. Frankie was not pleased to be sent back in time. The lack of e-mail and tampons did not make her a happy camper! She was continually being caught doing or saying something modern and as a result was looked at as being a bit touched in the head! The situations that she got herself in had me chuckling and even laughing out loud at points! Ben, the ghost, was an attractive, charismatic man accustomed to the customs and conveniences of the 21st century. Ben in 1864 was a somewhat chauvinistic man, typical of his time. It was interesting to see the clash of a woman from the 21st century and a man from the 1800s! It made for some lively disagreements!
The secondary characters were also outstanding. Beatrice is one of the evil characters and was so well written you just wanted to slap her! I loved the character of Uncle Henry. He was smart, pragmatic and full of humor. He served as Frankie’s ally and his character allowed the author to bring in all sorts of information, from the place of slaves in the 1860s to folk medicine.
This isn’t a short cute story. At about 400 pages, it could be an intimidating read. I found that it started out slowly – the first 50 or so pages almost dragged as it set the scene for the rest of the book. The slow feeling really didn’t last beyond that, in fact, I became so absorbed with the story that I read the last 200 or so pages without stopping. Happily finishing with tears and a kleenex!
I certainly recommend this book! It is a great time-travel novel and filled with great information on the civil war!
Craig’s Legacy is available on Amazon

Mine by Jill Noelle
Blurb: In a decadent empire of the far distant future, Gabriella is chosen to serve as a sexual companion for the king. However, Brie has no intentions of joining the Select Few. In fact, she has another mission, entirely…one that is destined to alter the future of the kingdom’s poverty-stricken population.
Michel also serves the king. It’s his job to train Brie to suit the king’s sexual preferences. Trouble is, Michel wants Brie for his own.
Gabriella is one of many chosen at a young age to serve the king. It is something that she has always know is her destiny while growing up. The time has finally come for her to enter her training to sexually serve the king and her tutor will be her friend Michel. Gabriella is attracted to Michel, she sits and watches him exercise, fantasizes about her training.
Michel serves the king as a trainer. He “trains” or initiates all the girls that will serve the king. He has been doing this for years, but he has reached the point where he can no longer support his king and has another agenda. He hopes to bring down the king’s corrupt rule. What he doesn’t realize is that Gabriella has an agenda as well.
This short little story is plenty spicy! At just over 70 pages the story is over and done with quite quickly. The author manages to pack alot of action into these pages and although this story doesn’t have many pages, it feels like a full length story. There is a comment at the end of the blurb on Amazon that although this story is set in the future, it has a “historical” tone. I thought that was an odd comment to make, but it is true. This story kind of feels old fashioned, somehow.
The characters are well formed and interact well together. I like the secondary characters. The king is suitable evil and uncaring towards his people. His character is so well written that his behavior elicits a strong negative feeling from the reader.
Pick up a copy of this book and experience it for yourself. Jill Noelle has several other stories published.

BUSTED
by Sydney Somers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
His game…her rules.
Hockey star Jackson Knight has a hundred reasons not to return to Promise Harbor, but none of them are good enough to get him out of attending his best friend’s wedding. Even with a career-ending knee injury, every puck-bunny in town will be gunning for him.
Worse, getting a pair of cuffs slapped on him at the bachelor party could ruin any chance of getting back in the game, even as a coach. Unless he can convince the arresting officer to smooth things over—by going to the wedding as his date.
Hayley Stone figures posing as Jackson’s girlfriend is the least she can do to salvage his reputation. Plus, having a man with a toe-curling smile on her arm will keep her ex off her back.
What starts as a simple plan to deflect small-town pot-shots unexpectedly becomes a sizzling night that hits Jackson like a full-body-check to the heart. Now he’s determined to prove that she’s the best of reason of all to come home—for good.
Warning: Contains a fiery powerplay both on and off the ice, skin-tingling forced intimacy, interfering grandparents, bear costume hijinks, a haunted house and the kind of game-changing chemistry worth fighting for.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
Her eyes flew open, but she didn’t bother to move an inch. “Another felony to add to the list, I see.”
Lounging against the doorframe, Jackson propped one arm overhead, a key in his hand. “Coach still hides his spare key under the mat. Didn’t think people still did that.”
“So you decided to let yourself in?”
“Well, I knocked first.” He crossed to the radio on the ledge by the window, and turned the volume down. “Guess you didn’t hear me. Funny how that works.” His gaze roamed the bubbles barely hiding her from view.
She resisted the urge to sink lower in the tub. Barely.
“Plus,” he continued, “I had hoped to catch you in the shower. This is actually much better.” He grinned.
“Out.”
Grabbing a chair, he turned it around backward and straddled it. “I have a proposition for you.”
“Do the words time and place mean anything to you?”
His only response was a lazy, once-over, his attention lingering just a beat longer at where her breasts were buried in bubbles.
“You need to go.” It was a pointless demand, and she knew it. Everything about the plain white T-shirt, faded jeans—the knees almost worn out—and the arms crossed over the top of the chair said, when I’m good and ready.
“We need to stay together.”
“No.”
“It’s a mutually beneficial situation.”
Hayley snorted.
“Just while I’m still in Promise Harbor.”
“Absolutely not.” When his gaze fell to her chest, she realized she’d risen a few inches above the bubbles. She slid back down, sloshing water over the edge of the tub. “No,” she repeated, more firmly this time. God, she had enough on her plate without throwing a fake boyfriend into the mix.

My Thoughts
I had the pleasure of reading Busted! I enjoyed the storyline and the wonderful array of characters. Hayley and Jackson prove to be a great couple. As you can read from the excerpt that was included above, Jackson delights in pushing Hayley’s buttons, and Hayley succeeds in drawing Jackson up and making him think. Think about what he wants out of his life. Makes him think rather than just react.
I often get confused when reading a book with a lot of characters, but Ms Somers created a large group of distinct characters that were easy to keep straight. Too many delightful people to mention here.
This book had me laughing and crying – the recipe for a great romance novel. Pick up your own copy today and experience Ms. Somers’ writing!

Welcome to Sugarbeat’s Books – The Home of the Romance Novel!
Today is a review for a book that I read some time ago and really enjoyed. I enjoyed it so much that I included it in a top 10 Romances from 2012 list that I created for my friend Justin Bog. Stay tuned for the whole list – I’ll be posting it in a few weeks!
Someone Else’s Fairytale by E.M. Tippetts
ASIN: B006JD115K
Release: Dec, 2011
Publisher: Self-pub
Source: I asked for and received a copy of this book from the author to read and reviewBlurb:
Jason Vanderholt is Hollywood’s hottest actor. Chloe Winters is a college student who hasn’t bothered to see most of his movies. When they meet by chance, she is underwhelmed but he is smitten. Chloe becomes the woman every other woman in America is dying to be, but it just isn’t her fairytale.
Someone Else’s Fairytale is the story of Chloe and Jason – two people who on many levels couldn’t be more different! Jason is America’s latest young movie star and the focus of female attention everywhere! Chloe is a college student who is just trying to finish school. She is talked into being an extra for a movie being filmed on campus, even though she doesn’t really know what it’s about and she probably wouldn’t know the star even if she tripped over him. She figures out who Jason is because he looks just like his promo pictures and finds herself chatting to him while he signs an autograph for her friend. She then finds herself escorted to his trailer so that the can chat some more. The next morning Chloe wakes up to find her mother at her door holding a copy of the local paper with her and Jason on the front page. When Jason shows up at her work, with his bodyguards, that makes her story that they are just friends look like a lie.
Although Jason is trying to woo Chloe, how does he do this when she just wants to have a normal life? It’s an interesting premise for a book – what happens when Cinderella doesn’t want to be in the spotlight? All the advantages that come with dating a movie star don’t interest her.
I loved this book! Poor Jason – he really likes Chloe, but he doesn’t have a clue how to date a non-movie star. His world isn’t normal, but he tries really hard to be normal for Chloe. Chloe on the other hand is a bit put off by his huge celebrity status. She’s mobbed by fans, had her tires slashed and had photographers stalking her. Is Jason really that special that it’s worth putting up with the invasion of her privacy?
You really need to pick up a copy of this book! I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I did!

Her One Night Prince by Rebecca J. Clark
ISBN: 1619262991
Publisher: BookStrand Publishing
Release: Dec 7, 2011
Source: Purchased this book to read and reviewBlurb: Her One-Night Prince is a Cinderella story about a woman’s dream to be something she’s not for just one night at her class reunion.
As all fairy tales go, however, happy endings don’t come easily.Shy and sheltered Lydia St. Clair is uncomfortable around men, so she advertises for a gay man to be her date and revamp her style. Mitch Gannon answers Lydia’s ad, and he’s perfect for the job—he’s handsome and, even more important, he’s charming.
Unbeknownst to Lydia, Mitch is straight and answered the ad as the unwitting victim of a practical joke. Before he can reveal the truth, Lydia is convinced he’s her fairy godmother, ready to transform her into the belle of the ball. And Mitch, prince that he is, doesn’t have the heart to set her straight.
Lydia St. Clair is determined to go to her high school reunion, but doesn’t want to go alone. Since she’s determined that she’s the worst judge of men ever, and doesn’t even want to think about getting another boyfriend, she places a personal ad for a gay man to be her date. Seemed like a good idea on the surface, but she didn’t anticipate being attracted to Mitch Gannon, who answered her ad. What she doesn’t know is that Mitch was dared to answer the ad, and isn’t gay at all. Once Mitch determines that she really needs him, he’s unwilling to let her know that he’s not gay, and that this whole thing started as a practical joke.
This is a great short story. Although it is only 120+ pages, it feel like a full novel. It is set on an interesting premise – how would you react to a date with a man who you think is gay. Is it easier to be you when the hopes of something more are removed? I liked this story and the characters that told it. Lydia is someone who has dated a bunch of jerks, and needs to find a decent guy. Mitch is tired of the same-old same-old and is taken by Lydia’s story. It’s interesting how this story starts so simply, needing a date to a reunion, turns into something more. So delightful!

Welcome also to Steamy Saturdays! This is the day of the week when we get to talk about a book that is on the steamier side of Romance. This week’s selection is One Queen with Two Kings by Louisa Neil. I enjoyed this book and I hope you enjoy my thoughts about it!
One Queen with Two Kings by Louisa Neil
ASIN: B0068NF4LS
Publisher: Siren Publishing
Release: Nov 16, 2011
Source: I received a copy of this book to read and review from TRRBlurb:
On the morning of her second wedding, Thea realizes marrying Lloyd is a mistake and learns his ultimate motive is to gain control of her family business. When confronted, Lloyd admits lying. His bombshell confession is that he gave the search team false coordinates, wanting Thea for himself instead of looking for Dexter and Russell’s crash site. When the men are found alive, they bring home proof that their plane was sabotaged by Lloyd. While reconnecting with her husband and his friend, she realizes their relationship changed. Catching the men in a compromising sexual position reinforces her theory. Accepting Dexter and Russell had become intimate while on the island is earth-shattering. She’s floored when they suggest combining the two relationships into one, a threesome the men have dreamed about. Can she share her husband with his best friend? Can she be the queen with two kings?
One Queen with Two Kings is a menage that I picked up to read some time ago. From the blurb it seemed like an interesting concept for a story. Two best friends, Russell and Dexter, crash land a plane on a deserted island and are there alone for 2 years before they are found. In the meantime, one of the men’s wives has moved on and this book starts on her wedding day to another man. Realizing that she is making a big mistake, Thea backs out of the wedding, and the past two years, complete with all the false stories that her supposedly loving fiance has been spreading about her come to light. She comes to the conclusion that her husband and his friend might not be dead after all, and re-opens the search for them. The men decide that what happens on the island stays on the island, but they aren’t able to keep that promise after their rescue.
This is an ultra hot little menage story. At the beginning, it seems to be a bit over the top with the manipulative fiance, but everything fits into place after a few chapters. I loved reading about the relationship between these three people. Although this story is an erotic menage, it is truly written as a happily every after romance. Such a treat to read!

A Seal’s Seduction by Tawny Weber
ISBN: 978-0-373-79742-4
Release: Feb 2013
Publisher: Harlequin Blaze
Source: I purchased this book to read and reviewSubject: Navy SEAL Lieutenant Blake Landon Current Status: Two weeks of enforced leave Mission: Distract himself in any way possible Obstacle: A woman who tempts him to break the rules…including his own! Navy SEAL Blake Landon (a.k.a. “Boy Scout”) knows the rule book inside and out. Checked. Rechecked. But when a mission ends badly, his entire team is ordered on leave. And that’s when Blake sees the tall redhead whose dark eyes suggest that the rules— especially those in bed—are made to be broken. Scientist Alexia Lane has sex on the brain—partly for work, but mostly because she needs a man who makes her girly parts do the happy dance. Her only no-no? No military dudes. But Blake’s rockin’ bod promises delicious pleasures, and Alexia is halfway to sexual Nirvana before she can find out he’s actually a Navy SEAL. And where one rule is broken, more are sure to follow….
A SEAL’s Seduction stars Blake, a SEAL on forced leave after the death of a friend on a mission, and Alexia, a admiral’s daughter incognito. Blake was leading a mission when things went wrong and he witnessed the death of his friend. At the funeral, his commanding officer gave him and other members of his team, leave to come to grips with the death of their friend. Of course, leave, with nothing to do, is the last thing that Blake wants as it gives him too much time to think. He’s a man of action, and would prefer to head back out into the field. Alexia is finally back living in the same town as her parents and her brother. She’s been hired to do a job that she is excited about, in an area of research that she feels is important. Too bad, her military dad is still trying to get her to toe the line, and is trying to meddle in her job prospects. Being in the same city has her brother almost makes it worth while, though. One day at the beach, she catches sight of a yummy man and decides to pursue him – having no idea that he is military.
I liked this book. Although I’m quite fond of men in military type story lines, this one had more depth than many others. It wasn’t a simple story. I don’t want to give up the whole story, so I’ll leave the details for you to discover. My favorite part in this book was when Alexia was talking to her mother about the inherent dangers in the job of someone in the military.
“Father served his entire career in the military. He fought in two wars. How was that not scary?”
“Because that was his job,” Margaret said with a flick of her bejeweled wrist, as if dismissing the question as ridiculous. Alexia waited to feel slighted, stupid, as she would have so often in the past when her curiosity was rebuffed. But her mother didn’t seem to be closing the dialogue. Just responding.
“It’s that easy? Because it’s his job, you weren’t afraid?”
“Darling, he was trained to fight. Trained in strategy. He knew how to use weapons and all of that big scary equipment and had an entire platoon of men just as well trained, just as dedicated, fighting at his side. As I said, it was his job. And he was very, very good at it.”
“But his job put him in constant danger. He had people shooting at him, trying to blow him up. Didn’t that worry you?”
“Did you watch the news yesterday?” Margaret asked.
Shaking her head no, Alexia frowned. What did that have to do with anything?
“I don’t recall what city it was – I just caught the tail end of the newscast. But it was rush-hour traffic and someone became angry. He stopped his car in the middle of the gridlocked traffic, pulled out a weapon and started shooting. He killed three people before he was stopped.”
Alexia’s breath caught at the horror. “Those poor people.” she breathed.
“Exactly. They were only trying to get home, living their safe day-to-day lives. And someone tried to kill them.” A combination of anger, disgust and pity creased Margaret’s face. “At least a soldier is trained and prepared. Nobody knows when their time is going to come, darling. It could be on a mission or at the grocery story. So sitting around wringing one’s hands and worrying is a waste of time and energy, don’t you think?”
Welcome to Sugarbeat’s Books – The Home of the Romance Novel!
Welcome also to Steamy Saturday! This is the day of the week that I post my thoughts on a romance that is on the steamier side! Nothing on but the Radio is a story that I read some time ago. I received a copy from The Romance Reviews in exchange for an honest review. Hope you enjoy my thoughts.
Nothing on but the Radio by Jodi Lynn CopelandISBN: 978-1-61118-419-8Publisher: Loose-Id.comRelease: May 2011Source: I received a copy of this book to read and review from TRRBlurb: To hell with her critics; Taryn James is going to make it in the songwriting industry. If only Brian Macovney weren’t standing in her way. Gorgeous he may be, but he’s also nasty, trampling on her dreams by insulting her lyrics and all because he once failed to deliver in bed.It’s been five years since Brian had his ego cut down its knees when he failed to perform sexually with Taryn. Now he’s forced to see her again, at the Sugarfoot Island songwriting conference, which he attends as a sponsor and she an aspiring songwriter. From nearly the moment of their reunion, Brian recognizes two truths: Taryn is a highly talented songwriter. And Brian’s eager to regale her with talents of his own…in his bed, on his balcony, bent over the edge of his Jacuzzi tub…Taryn can’t decipher what’s hotter, her need for revenge, or the feel of sexy-hot Brian in her arms, their body’s joined together and slick with passion. Temptation this good is damned hard to pass up.The rules are firm…no relations between the conference staff and songwriters…but then the conference hasn’t actually started, and weren’t rules made to be broken?Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: anal play/intercourse.
Isn’t it great to get one more kick at the can? The one night that goes spectacularly wrong in your life, you get a chance to do over. Would you take it? Can you get past a horrendous first date?
Nothing on but the Radio is a short story about Taryn James, who is determined to succeed as a songwriter, and her nemesis, Brian Macovney. Several years before Taryn and Brian had a bad one night stand ending with Brian lashing out at Taryn by telling her she would never succeed at songwriting. Here it is some time later and Taryn decides to sign up for a songwriting conference, knowing that Brian would be there. She decides to face down her one and only bad date – the man she hasn’t been able to forget.
This short little story is hot and graphic. It even comes with it’s own warning from the publisher! Certainly not for the faint of heart. It is, however, a story about a first date that ends in bad sex and how the couple recovers from that point so the sex is the central theme of the book. At first I felt that both the main characters were quite self-centered, but it was interesting to see how they changed and grew over the space of this story! Although the story only covers about 140 pages, it has the feel of a full novel. This is a neat little read. Pick up a copy and give it a read.
Nothing On But The Radio is available at Amazon
