Part of the Bargain: Part of the Bargain\To Wed and Protect (Bestselling Author Collection)

Part of the Bargain: Part of the Bargain\To Wed and Protect (Bestselling Author Collection) Review



There isn't a better writer in the romance genre than Linda Lael Miller. She delivers a solid story with strong women, foul language isn't necessary to get her point across. I'm not sure that I have read every book she ever wrote, but my library shelf is loaded with a good number of them and I've read and re-read most of them more than twice.

Bargain with the Devil

Bargain with the Devil Review



In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Fitzwilliam Darcy learns of the debacle involving Elizabeth Bennet's sister several months after he was rejected by Elizabeth, and volunteers to help find her sister, of his own accord.

But what if Miss Elizabeth had requested Mr. Darcy's aid in just a few days after the disastrous proposal at Hunsford, and he was still very angry with her refusal? What if he decided to be ungentlemanly, and demanded a very particular reward from her in exchange for his assistance?

This steamy, funny Pride and Prejudice what-if short story explores that scenario with wit, emotion and intriguing plot twists that take this perennial favorite to another direction.

Warning: This title contains explicit adult content, a disguise, a murder and a curse.

Review
"An engrossing story that will grab the reader and take them on a wild ride that will last until the very last sentence" 5 Cups of Coffee, Ultra Rare Extraordinary Read --Coffee Time Romance

"In Bargain with the Devil Mr. Darcy is certainly a scoundrel but Enid did a wonderful job on this what if story." 5 Stars --Reading with Monie

"True to the characters...Mr. Darcy is more of a rogue in this book. Elizabeth is more daring. Together, they make an excellent team." --Straight From Hel

"Enid has captured the essence of Jane Austen's world. The story is rich in detail, and while it is an homage to Pride and Prejudice, the story does take turns and twists not envisioned in the original." 4 Stars --San Diego Examiner

"Enid Wilson's novels are sexy, fun, and will make you smile with their witty dialogues. She is by far one of the better writers of the growing Jane Austen sequels movement." --Best of Jane Austen Sequels

Out of Control (The Kincaid Brides) Review

Rafe Kincaid has spent years keeping his family's cattle ranch going, all without help from his two younger brothers, who fled the ranch--and Rafe's controlling ways--as soon as they were able. He's haunted by one terrible day at the cave on a far-flung corner of the Kincaid property, a day that changed his life forever. Ready to put the past behind him, he plans to visit the cave one final time. He sure doesn't expect to find a young woman trapped in one of the tunnels--or to be forced to kiss her!

Rafe is more intrigued by Julia than any woman he's ever known, but how can he overlook her fascination with the cave he despises? And when his developing relationship with Julia threatens his chance at reconciliation with his brothers, will he be forced to choose between the family bonds that could restore his trust and the love that could heal his heart?

He looked down at his feet. "Pray, where are my boots?"

"At the foot of the bed," she answered.

"And who, may I ask, took them off?"

"I did."

He looked down at her with a devilish glint in his eyes. "Why did you not remove the rest of my garments while you were at it?"

"I had no desire to see you without clothes, my lord," Louisa said haughtily.

Bring on the Blessings

Bring on the Blessings Review



On Bernadine Brown's fifty-second birthday she received an unexpected gift—she caught her husband, Leo, cheating with his secretary. She was hurt—angry, too—but she didn't cry woe is me. Nope, she hired herself a top-notch lawyer and ended up with a cool 5 million. Having been raised in the church, she knew that when much is given much is expected, so she asked God to send her a purpose.

The purpose turned out to be a town: Henry Adams, Kansas, one of the last surviving townships founded by freed slaves after the Civil War. The failing town had put itself up for sale on the Internet, so Bernadine bought it.

Trent July is the mayor, and watching the town of his birth slide into debt and foreclosure is about the hardest thing he's ever done. When the buyer comes to town, he's impressed by her vision, strength, and the hope she wants to offer not only to the town and its few remaining residents, but to a handful of kids in desperate need of a second chance.

Not everyone in town wants to get on board though; they don't want change. But Bernadine and Trent, along with his first love, Lily Fontaine, are determined to preserve the town's legacy while ushering in a new era with ties to its unique past and its promising future.
