The Seduction of Lord Stone (The Dashing Widows Book 1) by Anna Campbell is charming, seductive and absolutely sublime. Every time I sink into one of Anna’s books it gets better and better. This is no exception.
In her latest novella series it’s all about the widows, and these ladies are not your typical widows. After a loveless and non romantic marriage, widow Lady Caroline “Caro” Beaumont is desperate for love and excitement now more than ever. This time it will be on her own terms without the chains and legal commitment of marriage.
After all, she’s done duty and obligation. All it did was leave her with a void when her husband died. Now as a widow she has the power to change everything. If only fear wasn’t standing in the way.
Silas Nash, Viscount Stone, is shocked when his sisters friend confides key details of her newly devised plan for happiness. When Silas realizes that his feelings towards Caro are anything but friendly, it unhinges him. This devilishly handsome “stud” is sought after by many women of the ton and yet his desire is just set on one woman. When Caro insist on seducing his best friend will he survive the sordid details?
Can Silas win the heart of a woman who has no intentions of ever marrying again? With no strings and no attachment, can he persuade Caro to follow her heart?

BIO:
A USA Today Bestseller, JADE LEE has been scripting love stories since she first picked up a set of paper dolls. Ball gowns and rakish lords caught her attention early (thank you Georgette Heyer), and her fascination with the Regency began. And as a Taurus, she lives to pit a headstrong woman against a tortured hero just to watch them butt heads on the way to true love. Flesh wounds are rare, but the healing and laughter are real.
Now an author of more than 30 romance novels, she finally gets to set these couples in the best girl-heaven of all: a Bridal Salon! This way she gets to live out all her wedding fantasies, one by one. (Let’s be honest, what girl has only one idea for her dream wedding?) For more on the Bridal Favors series, visit Jade on the web at her website, Facebook or Twitter.
And don’t forget Jade’s other name, KATHY LYONS. That’s Jade’s lighter, contemporary side. She writes for Harlequin Blaze merging hawt sex and funny relationships into really great reads.

We are swept into the pages of the book, right into room with them. It happens effortlessly and you can feel the kinetic energy as the attraction electrifies. If only they could realize this!

Yet, what would become of her if she went back? Satin won’t let her go, the stakes are too high with the knowledge she now has. It all boils down to who she can trust and who will trust her?

The Viscount of Vice by Shana Galen is a novella filled with adventure, mystery and desire. Lady Emma Talbot has admired Henry Flynn, Lord Chesham for years. However, his reputation precedes him and the “Viscount of Vice” as her older brother knows him as, has forbidden the Lord to even glance at his young sister or face the loss of a body part or two. Nothing thickens the tension more than a threat or two from dear old big brother. While Emma’s big brother misreads the attraction and potential desire between his sister and the racy Lord he has no idea the fuse he’s ignited.
Unfortunately, Emma is caught in a very bare and compromising position with the one man whom she thinks has desire for any woman but her. All she professed to want was just one kiss, from Henry. Would that be enough to prove to him that she’s not so young and innocent? Perhaps if he distances himself from her she will find someone more worthy of her that doesn’t have such a tarnished reputation.
However, it seems that they are once again thrown together, this time it’s regarding a recent development in the status of Henry’s missing brother. News that he might actually be alive, and nearby, complicates everything as Henry soon discovers the truth around his brother’s disappearance all those years ago. For Henry, he’s so haunted by that horrible day that he still can’t move past how his parents have treated him, as if it was his fault.
So, when Emma is kidnapped as a result of a case of mistaken identity, Henry is forced to face the situation and come to her rescue. Will he be able to save those he loves before everything is gone forever? What will happen when he hears her profess her love towards him? Will it matter?
Shana Galen has once again delivered a seamless story with a fantastic plot, juicy mystery and that added “zing” that we expect. While I received this ARC for a fair and honest review, I would buy this or gift it as well! If you’ve never read Shana Galen she’s a fantastic writer who has plenty of stories to fill your e-reader. Happy Reading Dear Readers!
