The Rules:
A lady should always make polite conversation . . .
Theresa Weller understands the rules of decorum, and is appalled when Colonel Bartholomew James disrupts a perfectly civilized dinner. This rude, insensitive man is the complete opposite of everything a gentleman should be--but with one searing kiss, Tess can think of no one else.
A lady should never lose her temper . . .
Aggravated beyond bearing by a man who speaks his mind, Tess wishes there was a guide to men like Bartholomew. Surely, with such an assortment of handsome, polite suitors to choose from, Tess should not ache for him.
And a lady should never pursue a gentleman.
She invites him on carriage rides and dares him to dance, and almost makes him want to return to Society. Bartholomew knows Tess wants to be seen as a proper miss, but deep down, he knows she is precisely the sort to spark his desire . . . A most improper lady.

"If you could physically put yourself into a book or series…which one would it be and why?"
Wow so many that I love to choose from. There are two that I would have to pick the first one would be the Love at Stake Series by Kerrelyn Sparks and then the second one would be the Dark Series by Christine Feehan.
Where is you favorite place to buy or swap books?
I would have to say Barnes and Noble would be my favorite place.

Book Review-Rules Of An Engagement
Rules Of An Engagement
Adventure Club (3)
Suzanne Enoch
Avon
Paperback
Published November 2010
Regency/Nautical Romance
ISBN: 978-0-06-166222-5
For proper young ladies, good behavior has always been the rule.
Captain Bradshaw Carroway loves the seafaring life - though he'd rather be battling brigands than his current assignment of ferrying a boatload of spoiled aristocrats. One passenger, however, has caught his eye: a bewitching young minx who definitely distracts him from the rules of shipboard decorum . . .
Some rules, of course, are meant to be broken.
Miss Zephyr Ponsley has traveled the world, but she's completely innocent in the ways of love. She's never learned to dance or flirt. But scientific observation has taught her that the laws of attraction have no rules, and that no adventure, on land or sea, is more dangerous - or delicious - than passion!

MY REVIEW
Summary
Captain Bradshaw Carroway, has a passion for living a life on the see, and loves the excitement and danger that comes from being Captain of his own ship, however when he is ordered by to be a babysitter to a load of Aristocrats, he would rather cut his own tongue out. However there is one passenger that has caught his eye, daughter of a well known historian, Zephyr Ponsely, has been by her fathers side ever since her mother passed away and been all over the world, and is eager to learn how to a lady and learn how to flirt and learn about life and passion. Zephyr is blunt and the desire between Shaw and Zephyr explodes after sharing a sensual embrace, Zephyr keeps breaking all sorts of rules of decorum and such, but would much rather be in Shaw's embrace, than follow all the rules and be miserable, but what she never counting on was learning that giving into personal desires, can lead to matters of the heart, something she isn't prepared for but then ...neither is the confident rogue of a Captain...Bradshaw Carroway.
The Hero (Bradshaw Carroway)
Bradshaw, loved life on the sea, and wouldn't ever think of giving it up...even for a woman. However the minute he is given a assignment to ferry some passengers that are just bound to make his life even more complicated, he starts to be drawn to a delightful young woman that has no sense of propriety or decorum, but a scientist, one that doesn't even like him in the beginning, which charms him, and he knows that he wants more than anything is to keep her in his bed and in his life forever.
The Heroine (Zephyr Ponsley)
Zephyr is a scientist just like that of her father, however there is also a inner craving to have a life away from her father, to be a wife and a mother and have a home. When her mother died, she was dragged all over the world with her father, but about to enter into society, she has no idea the rules of decorum that are expected. But upon meeting the Captain, she knows she is in for a world of trouble, for he both infuriates her and awakens a hidden passion within her.
My Thoughts
Rules of an Engagement is the third in the Adventure Club Series by Suzanne Enoch. I just fell instantly in love with this story and the characters. The characters alone were full of wit and passion. The story itself wasn't that incredible, however there was a sense of flirty fun throughout the story, that kept me engaged throughout the whole of it. At the beginning both the main characters hate each other, and had me laughing at their interactions with each other, but we see from the moment that they share that memorable first kiss, that things change for them both, and they realize how much alike they truly are. I truly haven't enjoyed such a romance in a while, and it was good to have one that was carefree and full of laughs...plus the cover is utterly charming
My Favorite Quote
"That I couldn't possibly crave adventure when its very goddess sleeps in my arms every night. In all my imaginings, Zephyr, I never expected this life. I never expected to fall in love. I never expected to want children or to be so...full of joy simply waking up to see you every morning. You are my adventure."

When three impoverished young ladies brought up in America decide to fulfill their late mother's dream of successful marriages and seasons, they concentrate their resources on sending the prettiest to London to make a brilliant match. But whom does she see but the man who had broken her heart years before? Alexander Haddon is no longer the rough and tumble man she once fell for, but a wealthy gentleman whose passionate nature is only just hidden under a veneer of sophistication ...
The countdown to the end of days has begun. According to ancient prophecy, on December 21, 2012, Mayan demons from the underworld will trigger an apocalypse. Only the Nightkeepers, mortal descendants of a race of magic-wielding warrior-priests, can prevent the annihilation of all mankind.
Nate Blackhawk can't help but resent the demands of his bloodline. Unlike his fellow Nightkeepers, he isn't about to let the gods determine his destiny -- especially when it comes to love. Which means he refuses to submit to the unquenchable desire he feels for Alexis Gray, the shockingly beautiful trainee who first appeared in his visions. But that's easier said than done, considering that Nate needs Alexis's help in uncovering the seven Mayan artifacts inscribed with clues on how to defeat the demons.
Alexis is willing to do whatever is necessary to prove herself as a Nightkeeper. She believes in the life she was born into and the future the gods have written for her -- even when it comes to Nate, who seems intent on ignoring the intense passion between them. But as she and Nate test their powers in a race to recover the seven statuettes before the demons do, Alexis finds it impossible to deny her feelings for the one man who's destined to be hers.

MY REVIEW
Summary:
Kelly Maloy, is Ty Endeka designated driver for the next few weeks. Kelly takes the job, because its the best offer for you financially, however she never imagined that accepting such a job, would definitely change her life forever. Ty Endeka, is one of the Eleven, a T-Rex, and very unpredictable and having recently come into this new life, that is much different from his last one. Kelly, is brought into a battle, that doesn't involve anyone that is human, but full of dangers she can barely comprehend exist in her world. Kelly is strongly drawn toward Ty, and there is a magnetism between the two, one that can't be denied, but as they come together there is also a great danger to them both, one that is pure evil...will their love be enough to survive?
The Hero (Ty Endeka)
Ty, is originally from a very different world, one with animal instincts, and is not used to the modern world, where he has to suppress his inner nature. After being in the ground for sixty million years, the world has changed much, but there is one woman that will change everything for him. Kelly, is definitely his weakness, and his barely contained control is threatened whenever she is near...
The Heroine (Kelly Maloy)
Kelly, takes on a job that is the best offer so that she can finish her degree, however she never thought that such a simple job as being a driver for three weeks, would turn her life upside down. Kelly is awakened to the knowledge of creatures that she never thought or imagined could exist, but now they are very real, as is the desire she feels for Ty, and she knows that her life has changed forev
My Thoughts
Eternal Pleasure is the first in the Gods of the Night series, but is the second one that I have read of the series. I recently read Eternal Prey, and just fell in love with it, so I wanted to read the previous two books. Eternal Pleasure is the beginning of a intense ride of danger, passion, and excitement that will curl your toes. From the first page, I was entranced by the story, I felt like I could relate with Kelly, she was such a endearing character. Kelly, although shocked at first, handles the truth extremely well, she has a inner strength that most don't expect from her. I just fell in love with Eternal Pleasure, there was such a enticing quality about the story that just had me drawn into it. Definitely a story that will take you on a thrilling journey, and one you don't want to miss out on....

MY REVIEW
Summary:
Megan Fields, has the ability to feel the emotions of those around her. So she isolates herself in a small remote area of New Mexico, where she can be near those that she has grown up near to. So when danger finds her, and some coyote breeds after her life, she is saved by Braden Arness, who is a lion breed. From the first moment that Braden sees Megan, he feels the most strongest feelings of desire he has ever experienced, and knows that she feels the same, and its only a matter of time before he claims her as his mate, if only he can convince her to surrender to the insatiable passion that they both strongly feel for one another....
The Hero (Braden Arness)
Braden, is a breed (a Lion) and is very powerful with his animal instincts, but has learned to control them over the years, as have many breeds have had to do. When Braden finds his mate, he is overcome with such intense need for her and her alone. Braden, is intent on making sure that they uncover the truth on who is trying to kill her and make sure they never are able to threaten her again...no matter the cost.
The Heroine (Megan Fields)
Megan has suffered with her gift, or as she refers to it...a curse to be a empath and feel what everyone is feeling. Megan in her past had a hard time building up shields to protect her, and when she is around Braden, she doesn't need shields, she feels so safe whenever she is near him. But what Megan doesn't expect is the intense desire she starts to feel for Braden, and knows that her life will change forever...
My Thoughts
Megan's Mark is the seventh in the Breeds series by Lora Leigh. Megan's Mark is a powerful story of a woman who hates the gift that she has been given, and has never been able to learn to control it, and a danger that could threaten her and everyone in her life that she cares about, unless both Braden and Megan uncover the truth before its too late. I found Megan's Mark an insatiable read, full of steamy romance and thrilling excitement and so intriguing it will delight every one of your senses. Another winner from Lora Leigh!!

Under the pert pen name "Lady Smart," opinionated Lindsey Graham crusades for social change among London's elite, writing for the ladies' gazette Heart to Heart. But Lindsey's greatest campaign begins when her brother Rudy, a notorious rake, is accused of murdering a string of prostitutes.
Her confidence in his innocence is bolstered when an anonymous letter arrives naming Viscount Merrick as the killer. Lindsey launches her own investigation into the gentleman's questionable pursuits, a risky venture that earns her an unwelcome bodyguard--Thor Draugr.
At first, Lindsey refuses the protection of her employer's brother-in-law. They are like oil and water, yet she can barely conceal her attraction to the rugged Norseman.

MY REVIEW
Summary:
Lindsey Graham, is a very opinionated journalist at Heart To Heart, but then her brother Rudy, gets accused for multiple murders, she knows he isn't capable of. So she goes about and starts asking questions and investigating, and gets in more trouble than she knows what to do with, with her companion as Thor Draugr. Thor is very unwelcome as her bodyguard, but what choice does she have, with someone trying to warn her off from investigating, but Lindsey knows that she must do everything she can to find the one responsible for the murders. Thor is unused to independent women, he is accustomed to women that are passionate but know their place, and Lindsey definitely doesn't know her own boundries, and its up to him to make sure that she doesn't get in too deep without him at her side, only what neither of these strong willed people realized was that there was a unbridled passion about to be shown, and things are about to get even more intense....
The Hero (Thor Draugr)
Thor, grew up on a island, that many don't know the existence of. On this island is still the thriving culture of the Vikings, and Thor decided to leave with his brother and come to England. Thor craves the countryside with peaceful surrounding, which reminds him more of home, than London does. Lindsey frustrated and infuriates him at times, but as he agrees to protect her, he never expected to find his own lifemate...
The Heroine (Lindsey Graham)
Lindsey, loves her job at Heart to Heart, a Ladies Gazette. Lindsey grew up with her parents always traveling, and she and her brother on their own with their aunt. Lindsey is independent, and strong willed, and is determined more than ever to clear her brothers name, no matter how much danger she may be in.

My Thoughts
Heart of Courage is the last in the Heart Trilogy by Kat Martin. I found this to be such a thrilling read, and I found myself at the edge of my seat most of the time. Heart Of Courage is a exciting tale of romance, intrigue, and adventure. I just loved immersing myself into this story, I found it hard to draw myself away from reading it. I think this one is just as good as the other previous books that I have read from this author, and I am looking forward to reading more of her works. Kat Martin definitely delivers in this book and in the series!!! A POIGNANT ROMANCE THAT WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS FOR MORE!!
