Okay, any novel with a lead paragraph like this, can't be all bad.

 

"Kate had to admit she felt a twinge of sympathy watching Joseph's scowling face wince each time his family jewels slammed against the hard Western saddle. The man would be impotent inside a week if he didn't do something to protect his goodie bag. Damn shame too."

 

Kate is a feisty character with a big heart. She's been unlucky at love so far, so when she learns she has a stalker she doesn't give it much worry. When Kate first meets Joe, the bodyguard her father insists she have, she feels the instant attraction, but is hard pressed to do anything right away.

 

The two main characters in this story are just wonderfully written. Each with their own insecurities and hang ups they really are perfect for each other. Some scenes in this book will make you giggle and even outright laugh, other scenes are so hot they will make you melt.

 

Description:

When love turns to obsession, those with the biggest hearts are the first to die.

 

Kate Mathers has her very own stalker, though she prefers to call him a secret admirer. Either way it's a bizarre idea considering she's never figured out how to keep any man in her life for long. Now one's obsessed with her? It's hard to believe—until her estranged father's birthday gift is to hire her a bodyguard. Now the dangers are all too real. And so is the effect Joe Garity has on her heart.

 

Joe knows he's a human wrecking ball when it comes to relationships. The embittered ex-cop tells himself he only took the job guarding Kate because he can't stand to see the rug rats in her horse camp program in danger. Pretending to be her lover isn't his idea of a perfect situation, but perfect goes a long way toward describing the chemistry between them. For once in his life, Joe finds he really doesn't want to screw this one up—personally or professionally.

 

But if he can't figure out who's stalking Kate soon, her next birthday may be her last.

 

Warning: This title is full of horseplay, and horses AT play, tie-downs and tie-ups and the kind of hot obsessive animal passion some men will kill for.

1 Heart

 

Description:

Isabell Dionysus is a witch and she needs to find a man. Not just any man, but a man attuned to magic, a man who will fulfill the agreement her great-grandmother made with the fairies long ago and save her humanity. But time's running out and the luring spell she cast has brought her a man who's perfect for her in every way but one. He wants nothing to do with magic.

 

For most of David Pennyfield's life he's managed to deny his gifts until a week ago when his magic sight returned. He's desperate to banish all magic from his life before it drives him crazy like his mother. But when Isabell, The Witch of Seven Isles, tells him sex magic with her is the only way to get what he wants, David isn't sure which he wants more. . .a magic-free life or Isabell.

 

My View:

This story goes along with the saying be very careful of what you wish for. The story idea wasn't bad, but somewhere along the way, about the time the fairy's became bigger than three or so inches tall, the book gets a little lost. The story itself seemed a little hard to follow in some places and didn't really do much for me, but those who like magic and witch tales might enjoy the book and even the growing little fairies, as well.
