Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt
Grand Central, October 2011; ISBN-10: 0446558931

Widowed Silence Hollingbrook is impoverished, lovely, and kind--and nine months ago she made a horrible mistake. She went to a river pirate for help in saving her husband and in the process made a bargain that cost her her marriage. That night wounded her so terribly that she hides in the foundling home she helps run with her brother. Except now that same river pirate is back...and he's asking for her help.

Charming Mickey O'Connor is the most ruthless river pirate in London. Devastatingly handsome and fearsomely intelligent, he clawed his way up through London's criminal underworld. Mickey has no use for tender emotions like compassion and love, and he sees people as pawns to be manipulated. And yet he's never been able to forget the naive captain's wife who came to him for help and spent one memorable night in his bed...talking.

When his bastard baby girl was dumped in his lap--her mother having died--Mickey couldn't resist the Machiavellian urge to leave the baby on Silence's doorstep. The baby would be hidden from his enemies and he'd also bind Silence to him by her love for his daughter.

"I felt as if Mickey and Silence truly lived, though their parents really should have thought of better names.  It took a while for the romantic scenes to kick in, but when they did, they were hot.  Everything fit together in a timely manner and wove a web that stayed together tightly.  I would recommend this novel and highly suggest it as your next read.  It holds romance, mystery, action and so much more." —Review by Tiffany S., TheSeasonForRomance.com

Real Men Will by Victoria Dahl
HQN Books, October 2011; ISBN-10: 0373776098

It was meant to be a one-night stand. One night of passion. Scorching-hot. Then Beth Cantrell and Eric Donovan were supposed to go their separate ways. That's the only reason he lied about his name, telling her he was really his wild younger brother. Hiding his identity as the conservative Donovan. The good one.

But passion has its own logic, and Eric finds he can't forget the sable-haired beauty with whom he shared a night of love. When Beth discovers that Eric has lied, however, she knows he can't be trusted. Her mind tells her to forget the blue-eyed charmer. If only every fiber of her being didn't burn to call him back.

"I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Victoria Dahl has ended the series with a bang, and I’ll be reading Real Men Will over and over for years to come." —Review by Katrina Latham, TheSeasonForRomance.com

Seven Years to Sin by Sylvia Day
Brava, September 2011; ISBN-10: 0758231741

Seven years ago, on the eve of her wedding, Lady Jessica Sheffield witnessed Alistair Caulfield in a scandalous scene no innocent young miss could imagine. Shocked, yet strangely titillated, she'd held her silence. But through years of serene, unremarkable marriage, Caulfield's image remained burned into her imagination, fuelling illicit dreams...

As a successful merchant, Alistair has little in common with the rakehell youth she knew. But when newly widowed Jessica steps aboard his ship for a transatlantic passage, seven years' worth of denied pleasures are held in check by nothing more than a few layers of silk - and the certainty that surrender will consume them both...

"... I was glued to the pages of Seven Years to Sin.  Mixed with explicit love scenes, charming story and the drama of life, Sylvia captured me and left me in awe.  Hands down, you have to read this book!" —Tiffany, TheSeasonForRomance.com

What a Duke Wants by Lavinia Kent
HarperCollins, Sept 2011; ISBN-10: 0061986313

Lavinia Kent—a four-time Golden Heart Award nominee and one of the most exciting talents in the new generation of historical romance writers—explores What a Duke Wants in this darkly sensuous tale of a woman running from a secret past who finds herself in the arms of a handsome reluctant English nobleman whom she desires intensely but dares not love. Any reader who has ever been entranced by the passionate romance of Anna Campbell, Stephanie Laurens, and Lisa Kleypas—who has praised Kent’s extraordinary work, declaring, “I was captivated by every page”—will be similarly intrigue and enchanted by What a Duke Wants.

What woman would refuse a Duke’s kiss? Running from a dark secret past, Isabella Masters craves peace and stability, a life far from the prying eyes of society. She does not dream of landing a lord. But in the arms of a stranger with magnificent eyes, she loses herself in one breath-stealing kiss— only to discover she has been misled by a reluctant Duke. Angered but enthralled, she dares not submit, though her passionate heart begs her to. He cannot wed her, but he must not lose her. Only one possibility remains — one too scandalous to consider — yet too tempting to resist.

Delaney's Shadow by Ingrid Weaver
Penguin Group, August 2011; ISBN-10: 0425242684

Years ago, seven-year-old John Maxwell Harrison saved little Delaney Wainright from drowning, forging a psychic bond that would endure for years. For Delaney, Max became her childhood "imaginary friend." Now she needs Max more than ever after her wealthy husband is killed in a car accident that she can't recall.

After enduring a brutal childhood and unjust imprisonment, Max is a recluse who pours his anger into his art. When Delaney reestablishes their bond, he takes advantage and becomes her fantasy lover, driving Delaney to the edge of madness. But by the time Delaney realizes Max is real, it may already be too late. Because someone is trying to kill her.

Reunited, they will have to embrace the undeniable love that has intertwined their destinies if they are to unlock Delaney's memory -- and uncover a dark specter from the past who will not stop until they both are broken.

"Pure passionate perfection.  Delaney's Shadow is hauntingly poetic, heart rendering and beyond incredible. ... Ms. Weaver seemingly effortlessly crafts a story that is amazingly sensual, emotional, realistic and  gripping with Delaney's Shadow. ...  I loved both characters passionately, felt their pain, felt their sensuality, and wanted them to finally find peace and happiness.  This is a story that not only captured my heart, but also my soul.  I truly cannot recommend Delaney's Shadow highly enough." —April, TheSeasonForRomance.com
