Another very steamy installment in this series, and I am thoroughly enjoying them, this time we meet Princess Evelyn and Lieutenant Colonel Maximillian Hamill as they become acquainted physically and emotionally.

As a princess Evie works hard with lots of charity work she has a clean reputation and she wants it to stay that way but when she meets Maximillian her body is craving attention, will she be able to scratch that itch and keep it private?

On first sight Max knows that Evie is the one for him can he win her heart? They certainly hit it off in the bedroom and they also connect in so many ways, can they have a future together?

This one is a quick and steamy read and one that I do very much recommend, Evie and Max are so suited to each other in so many ways.

This is a short and extremely steamy and sensual story, filled with lots of emotion as Prince Spencer does everything he can to bring back the beautiful and loving relationship he has always had with his beautiful wife Princess Eleanor.

Spencer and Eleanor have two beautiful children, but since the birth of their son Eleanor has pushed Spencer away and she appears to find it hard to be in the same room as him but he will never give up on their love, he organizes a second honeymoon to Iceland, will this work.

Eleanor has no idea why she feels the way she does, she knows she loves Spencer and wants to get back to normal, but it is hard for her, when he takes her to Iceland the pressure that she has been holding in releases and soon they are scorching the room up nearly enough to set the fire alarms off.

As I said this one is short and extremely hot, keep a fan and glass of water handy as Spenser and Eleanor rekindle the spark that has always been there, lots of love and happiness is soon flowing.
If you love an erotic and steamy story then this is one that I do highly recommend

Daisy Carter is CEO of Cater Hotels that was started many years ago she and her two sisters are now running the business and things have not been going too well, this chance to take buy Levis Resorts will be the boost they need if they can beat the Gillard family and Daisy will go all out to win.

Zan Gillard is determined to beat the Carter family, however he can and once he decides on something he never loses, so when they arrive on the island he knows that keeping friends close and enemies closer is the way to go and four days close to Daisy should be easy, or will it, betrayal and family feuds are hard to ignore but Daisy is hard to ignore as well and they agree to four days of passion without commitment, will it work?

This books is steamy, passionate and filled with emotion and laughs as Daisy and Zan do everything in their power to not fall in love, but the days and nights spent together add fuel to their already fiery passion and when they arrive home to make a bid on the Levi resorts nothing goes to plan. This one had me turning the pages, needing a fan to cool down and smiling all the way through, it is one that I would highly recommend, I loved it.

I know when I pick up an Amy Andrews book I am going to discover a hot, steamy and sensual romance filled with witty banter, humour and emotion and this one is all of those with a big dose of emotion as we meet Orla Stewart and Ronan Dempsey as they find their way to a beautiful HEA.

Orla is a tattoo artist, specializing in covering scars and for a while there she partying big time but when she stopped and started to think about her life more, because that’s what cancer can do to a person she made changes, these days she works hard on keeping fit eating healthy and choosing a life of celibacy, that might just change when hot rugby dude moves into the pool house.

Ronan is an American playing top level rugby for the Sydney Smoke and winning and keeping fit and concentrating on his game is what he does he has high hopes and he wants nothing getting in his way so from now till the end of the season celibacy is his choice, much to the horror of his team mates. But when he needs to find a place to stay for a while and is offered a pool house to stay in the last thing he was looking for was to be put on his back in more ways than one by a gorgeous pink haired goddess.

I loved this story Ronan is the best hero for Orla a woman who has been through so much and deserves the best she is tough, brave and strong and has big walls built around her heart and it is going to take Ronan some work to bring those walls down. This one is steamy and sensual and a page turner, one not to be missed, thank you Amy Andrews for another awesome story in this series.

I love this series, I love how Amy Andrews brings sexy, steamy sizzle together with fun and laughter, she makes her characters easy to love, I listened to this one as an audio book and loved it, I loved seeing Brodie fall for his best friend’s sister but who could resist Eleanor.

Eleanor lives on a farm in the country and is content with her life designing and sewing vintage clothing and sexy lingerie from the regency era, she also loves her historical romance books and often feels like one of the wallflowers in the stories she reads. When her brother and the Sydney Smoke team are in town for a game and a party afterwards Eleanor is stunned when one of the players makes a pass at her maybe now will be the time to take a chance at some fun.

Brodie never thought he would meet someone, especially from a small country town who made such an impact on him, after all he is the rich boy from the city, but he cannot resist Eleanor she wears corsets and is sexy as and after a night of passion where she gives him her virginity, he is shocked when she is gone in the morning even more stunned later when he finds out who she is.

Two months later Eleanor comes to the city with breaking news for Brodie which takes him by surprise but can he convince this gorgeous woman that he loves her the way she is, and will Eleanor finally find the true love she has always wanted they certainly know how to heat a room up together. I loved this one, a must read if you are looking for a story with wonderful characters, that is fun and sensual as well, it has all the feels for a true and beautiful romance. I do highly recommend this one.
