The Billionaire’s False Fiancée (The Beaumont Brothers #2) by Leslie North

Jess Green has had to fight for everything she has. When she sees her future about to slide into an abyss thanks to an offhand comment made by her sexy but oblivious boss, Alistair Beaumont, she decides to take things into her own hands. Everyone in the financial world knows the Beaumont brothers need to settle down else the company that Jess depends upon will go under. So when Alistair is overheard discussing his disbelief in love and marriage the company stock price plunges. When Alistair suffers a bout of amnesia on a skiing trip, Jess sees a way to save the company and decides to tell him one teeny, tiny lie: she’s his fiancé. 

Alistair loves one thing and one thing only—his freedom—and certainly not the girl he finds in his bed, claiming to be his future wife. Amnesia or not, something’s not right. Sure, she’s got that girl-next-door sexiness about her, and his attraction to her is powerful, but deep in his gut he’s rebelling against the idea of being tied down. However, snowed in and isolated from the world in an exclusive lodge, Alistair begins to believe they are a couple and against all odds, he actually finds himself falling in love. 

But when Alistair gets his memories back, will he choose to stay with Jess who he can’t get out of his mind—or out of his heart—or will he choose to take back the freedom he’s always craved?

I would like to thank Leslie North and Netgalley for this copy of another exciting installment of the Beaumont Brothers.

Jess Green works for the Beaumont Brothers company as Alistair Beaumont's PA. What he doesn't know is that she's got the hots for him. Alistair Beaumont and his brothers own B3 and in their grandfather's clause is that they must find their true love within 18 months of his passing. Alistair has had an accident in a skiing trip, he's lost his memory. Can Jess fake being his fiancee to save the company and her job or will Alistair remember exactly who she is and is he really engaged to her or does he really WANT to be with her at all. All will be in the second installment of The Beaumont Brothers series.

The Billionaire’s Sham Girlfriend (The Beaumont Brothers #1) by Leslie North

Gregor Beaumont is in a world of hurt that all the charm in his gorgeous, well-toned body can’t fix. His late grandfather, God rest his soul, wanted to make sure Gregor and his two playboy brothers settle down. He had the brilliant idea of buying up a huge share of the brothers’ engine company and using that as incentive for each brother to find Mrs. Right. Settle down or lose the company to a competitor. Well, that’s just not happening to Gregor, not when life’s so good at the moment. Gregor likes racing fast cars and seducing fast women, and not necessarily in that order. Settle down? Not a chance. Gregor has his own brilliant idea: find some wholesome and desperate girl to pretend to be his girlfriend. No harm. No foul. Unless things start getting a little bit too real.

Kara Alerby knows she’s a sucker for blues eyes and a great smile, so when Gregor comes into her theater wanting to hire her to act the part of his adoring girlfriend, she’s already got her defenses on high alert. But Kara’s a practical girl, and Gregor’s offering a boatload of money that would go a long way toward making her dream of creating a fine arts school for gifted kids a reality. She can ignore his smiles, his charisma, and his kiss-me mouth if it means she’ll get her school. All she has to do is remind herself, every second of every day they’re together, that it’s all make believe—even when it doesn’t always feel that way.

When Greg’s love of racing puts his life in jeopardy, Kara isn’t ready to watch another person die in front of her like her father did. And Greg isn’t about to stop doing the one thing that makes life worth living. The two are on a collision course, one that could break them apart forever if they don’t change directions…

I would like to thank Leslie North for writing this new series to me. Also thank you Netgalley for allowing me a copy of the 1st of the Beaumount series.

Kara Alerby is a bright and aspiring drama teacher who wants the theatre that is for sale to do her own shows. Gregor Beaumount is a fast driving Formula 1 driver who loves the thrill. His grandfather who passed away has put a clause in getting his part of the inheritance. He has to find a woman who he can marry. What happens when they enter the agreement shocks both of them. 

Will they have a happy ending or will the curtains come down on this supposed relationship. All will be revealed in The Billionaire's Sham Girlfriend.

Inquisition (The Wolfgang Trilogy #2) by F.D. Gross

Blood of the father 
Blood of the son 
Blood of those dead and gone… 

After learning the truth about his missing son, Dorian, Tenor Wolfgang is left with unanswered questions. The vampire hunter and his faithful friend Kronklich pursue Dorian through forces of darkness. Haunted by the phrase “Blood of the father,” Wolfgang wonders what the forces of darkness intend. 

In a heart-pounding race across a frozen gothic countryside, Wolfgang seeks answers, stopping at nothing to reach his son before it’s too late. Who are the Carnalreesee really, and what is their purpose? 

Continue the gut-wrenching journey of carnage, strife, and suffering in this next installment of the Wolfgang Trilogy: Inquisition. 

I would like to thank F D Gross for writing the second in the Wolfgang series.

It was a slow start for me as we had Christmas and New Year. I had to keep thinking back to book 1 that I read in 2016 to catch up with the series. Wolfgang and Kronklich carry on their journey to look for Wolfgang's son Dorian. They come up against more vampires, creatures of the night as they look for Dorian. Wolfgang swears he sees and hears his wife Diana when he sleeps, but is he really seeing her or is it his imagination. Also we meet his father in law Dora who wishes him dead and can he help him in his quest to find his son/grandson with this instrument.

All will be revealed when you read Inquisition (book 2 of the Wolfgang series).

Scandal by Sasha Morgan

Scandal is the perfect rip-roaring, bonk-busting horsey escapist read for fans of Jilly Cooper and Tilly Bagshawe.

As the new custodian of the ancestral home, Treweham Hall, Tobias Cavendish-Blake soon discovers exactly what he's inherited. Instant financial action is needed if the Hall is to survive the mounting debts it's racking up. Adding insult to injury the family is forced to sell the Gate House on the estate to lottery winners Gary and Tracy Belcher – not the kind of neighbours Tobias was hoping for.

Megan Taylor inherits her grandmother's country cottage in the village of Treweham and decides to make a fresh start there, taking a job at the local country pub.

When Megan meets Tobias, the attraction is clear, but she is determined to resist his charms, put off by his reputation and that of his best friends – the rakish Seamus Fox, son of a millionaire race horse trainer and dastardly jockey Dylan Delany. But Tobias is a hard man to resist...

I picked this up as I'd read Jilly Cooper books when I was younger. As well as I like a bit of naughty romance kind of story.

Tobias Cavendish-Blake has run into some financial problems, can lottery winners Gary and Tracy Belcher help? Megan Taylor has just inherited her gran's cottage, but in the attic is a box that holds a secret that hasn't been told. What has her lovely old neighbour Ted to do with it? 

I loved the characters and the way that riff raff (Gary & Tracy Belcher who won the lottery) got welcomed into the fold (if I ever win, that's how I would like to be lol). Tobias, Dylan and Seamus are lush. Megan is lovely and has a soft spot for Ted her neighbour, but what is the local vet Nick after when he bumps into her, just as she was about to be knocked down and why blame Tobias for driving.

All will be revealed when you read the delightful and sexy scandalous Scandal book.
