Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-22 00:00:00 Robert Stansell 5 + SINFULLY SEXY STARS This is my favourite by JL. It's the book in which I found the name of my first born Devlin. Who is the hero of this book and OMG Is he manly. He was the "MAN OF MY DREAMS." Devlin is an arrogant cold polite aristocrat who thought that by virtue of his birth (aka being a Duke), the world was his and everything in it would simply bend to his will. So your typical period hero here. However, this soon changes when he is forced into hiding and becomes the stable trainer to the heroine's father. He sees her and his not only losses his heart but he losses frosty demeanour, that he was so famous for. He plays up his lowly "station in live" by saying rude and crude things to the heroine. Things like: "... little girl you have me so hot that It's either he pond or you..what's it going to be?" "I'll thank you NOT to say things like that to me.." she answers back He tells her "So don't thank me..." Megan was way too beautiful and willful for her own good. She was the only daughter to a wealthy landowner. She has been spoiled and indulged but she was still basically a sweet innocent. She has some sass with her class. She was very attracted to her new stable Master but wants to make an advantageous marriage to right the wrongs done to her by a cruel member of her community. "I need to marry a man who will make Lady O green with envy and so I can't Marry Devlin..."but she wants him and lust after him. They have loads of chemistry!!! It's off the charts HOT! Also, I love the fact that their first time was not good for either of them. To me, this really makes sense. I for one don't understand how in books virgins can always have an orgasm the first time without some serious foreplay. They are both disappointing but the passion remains and so does the hunger. THEY NEED, WANT AND CRAVE EACH OTHER! I loved how he was trying to keep his distance from her but he really couldn't resist her. Also, how She was just so mixed up at first and quickly became a strong woman. Yes, he spanks her (she deserves it), yes she was spoiled and yes he was an arrogant ass but somehow together it was just hot! This books was awesome and I would recommend it anyone who enjoys two strong individuals becoming a strong couple. I have read it over a dozen times and the fact that I named my son after this book, speaks volumes of the estimation and regard I hold for this book. For me, this book was one of the BEST!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-16 00:00:00 Kenny Freshcorn "I believe I'm going to develop a new habit'screaming. Consider yourself warned, you odious man." God, I'd forgotten how good this one was. So I never read my mother's bodice rippers because she never had any. She legit didn't even know what "bodice ripper" meant when I asked her if she ever read them. I stared at her for like three six minutes waiting for her to rescind what she said. What kind of woman hasn't read one bodice ripper in her life? It's like mandatory to get these false notions of what a man should be - at least 6'3 cause duh, rude, possessive, and always knows right where the clitoris is - and then have your ideals shatter in front of your eyes. That's like an initiation into womanhood. But honestly, authors who wrote romance in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s know how to make a man right. Historical romance will always be my favorite because of this; I often find contemporary heroes lacking. And maybe that's because sweet = give me a sharp utensil to slowly stab myself with. Anyway, Man of My Dreams is a regency romance between a duke masquerading as a horse breeder and a country lady who has her eyes set on a duke so she could be above the lady who always shuns her in town. So imagine when she tells the annoying horse breeder she has her mind set on the Duke of Wrothston - and he just happens to be that duke? A hilarious misunderstanding. But it actually creates a tension-filled, gritty, and passionate affair. Their banter made this story. Man of My Dreams is heavily centered on building the tension between a man and a woman who immensely dislike each other. They bickered incessantly, and it was completely entertaining. The conflict was kept throughout the entire story, and the characters were perfectly paired. Devlin is a jerk. Megan is brat. If you love Johanna Lindsey or regency romances, this is one you shouldn't miss.
