WANTON WIDOWS: THREE SHORT REGENCY ROMPS
By Isabella Hargreaves

Widows seeking romance is all the trend!

I love historical romance and no one writes historical romanctic romps like Isabella Hargreaves.

Blurb:

'Three Regency-era widows seek new partners in unconventional ways'

'What a Widow Wants' - The young Dowager Lady Caroline Newberry sets out to snare a lover.

'The Widow's Wedding Night' - Arabella LInfield dreams of a wedding night to remember, but the reality is a surprise.

'Wooing the Wealthy Widow' - Can Sir Hercules Standfast pass the wealthy widow's twelve tests for penniless suitors?



Excerpt:
"What a Widow Wants"
She inclined her head in acknowledgement of his words and waited, unmoving and pointedly, for him to invite her to dance in the waltz set assembling behind them.
He took her hint and responded as she wished. She placed her hand on his black-clad arm. Beneath her fingers was solid muscle. Promising.
The music commenced and she slid her hand up his arm to rest it upon his shoulder. It was wide and unpadded. Mmmm.
He took her right hand in his, while his other hand, on her waist, heated her skin through the silk of her dress. He spun them around the ballroom, skilfully keeping her safe from the other dancers.


Bio:
Isabella Hargreaves writes Romance through the Ages. From tenth century England, to the English Civil War, to Regency London and outback Australia in the 1920s, Isabella has a romance to tell.

She lives in Brisbane, Australia with her family and a house full of pets. Her love of history surfaced in childhood when she subscribed to a history magazine. Now she spends each workday researching and writing about Australian people, places and institutions. By night she writes romance.

Isabella’s debut novel, The Persuasion of Miss Jane Brody, set in Regency England, was published in 2013 after placing in the Steam eRead’s ‘Some Like it Hot’ Romantic fiction competition. The book went on to final in the Australian Romance Readers Awards and the Romance Writers of New Zealand Koru Awards.

When she’s not reading and writing, Isabella loves horse-riding and walking. She dreams of an around-the world trip to indulge these passions.

I'm so excited about Mackenzie Crowne's new release, To Win Her Love, hence the blogpost! Last year, Mackenzie asked me to be a beta reader on her WIP. I was so excited she asked me (little old me) for feedback. This is that WIP and I'm thrilled to bits it made it through the publishing process to the global book shelves!

I've known Mackenzie Crowne for about three years now and she is a warm, strong, vibrant woman. These qualities are conveyed in all her books through the relatable characters she pens and the romantic stories she creates. I know when I curl up with this author I'm going to get an engaging, fun read with a definitive splash of sass!

Take a look at To Win Her Love and see for yourself.



Blurb:

To win the game, they’ll have to risk losing their hearts…
When a bizarre child custody stipulation pits popular sports blogger Gracie Gable against football superstar Jake Malone, losing the battle for her twin nieces isn't the only thing Gracie has to worry about. Forced to live for three months under the same roof as the sexy tight end, will she fall prey to his flirtatious pursuit? Or worse, will the skeletons in her closet destroy her chance for the love and family she so desperately wants?

Neglected by his parents as a boy, Jake doesn’t believe in happily ever after. Yet living with Gracie and the twins might be enough to change his mind—and his womanizing ways. But when the press unearths a scandal from Gracie’s past, will he lose the one woman he was ready to open his heart to?




Excerpt:

“Are you sure you don’t want to change your shoes?”
She spun around. “What’s with you and my shoe—aah!” She jumped back.
A mere inch away, he dipped his head, bringing them even closer. “I can’t help it. I’m a leg man. There’s nothing sexier than a long-legged woman in a pair of three-inch heels.” Like a predator on the scent, he stepped forward, crowding her up against the closed door.
Her shoulders thumped against wood.
His drawl smoothed into a seductive purr. “I’d sure hate to see them ruined when they get wet. The shoes, I mean.” He paused for a long, suggestive beat and his lips tilted in a distinctly wicked smile. “Your legs would only look better wet.”
She gasped. “Stop doing that!”
“Doing what?” The mischievous glint in his eyes ruined his attempt at looking innocent.
“Making suggestive comments like you’re…like you’re flirting or something. I’m the enemy, remember?”
He dropped his gaze to run his eyes over her body in a slow survey. “Oh, princess. You could never be the enemy.”
She mentally stomped her heel down on the prickles of awareness his sexy tone and blatant once-over produced. Hah! Rattled by his not-so-subtle flirting, she’d forgotten who she was dealing with. Too bad for him he’d overplayed his hand.
Princess, my ass.
Royalty was rare amongst the residents of the New York City Housing Authority. The art of street fighting wasn’t. If the all-pro superstar thought he could blitz her with a few well-placed innuendos, he deserved to learn what it was like to get sacked.
She widened her eyes, batting her lashes as if dazzled by his flirty compliment, and puckered her lips on a breathy “Oh.” She nearly ruined the affect by smirking when her acting skills proved more adequate than she’d hoped. His gaze dropped to her mouth and stayed there.
Another step sandwiched her between his body and the door. Doing her best to ignore the giddy leap of her heart, she pressed her spread fingers against the soft sweater covering his chest, beneath his open jacket. His glittering green gaze lifted to tangle with hers and, though she longed to experience the kiss the sensual intent gleaming in his eyes promised, she was no more a fool than she was a princess.
Already at a disadvantage with her unwanted housemate, gaining firsthand knowledge of what it was like to lock lips with him would only make matters worse. No, if she was going to survive living with him for the next ninety days, it would be best to lay some ground rules right now. For both of them, but first, he was going to learn who he was dealing with.
Holding his gaze, she rode her hand up over the hard plains of his chest to his shoulder then twined her fingers into the silky hair falling to his collar. She had to cut off an appreciative moan. So soft. A fascinated shiver lifted the fine follicles of hair on the back of her neck and arms when his pupils dilated once again. He dipped his head another inch. Heated spice tickled her senses, making her mouth water and her nostrils quiver in greedy delight.
Oh, holy hell. He smells better than Mary’s chocolate chip cookies.
He lowered his head until no more than a breath separated his lips from hers, and she momentarily lost track of her agenda. Gleaming striations brightened the green of his eyes as they smoldered with the promise of lovely, decadent secrets.
A sigh shimmered from her lips when he closed the remaining distance between them. Her eyes slid shut as, warm and surprisingly tender, his lips brushed hers, nibbling in no particular pattern. Small brush fires flashed to life throughout her system. Heat flared when he deepened the contact, sliding his arms around her and demanding entrance to her mouth with a hot flick of his tongue. A nagging disquiet hovered at the edge of her awareness, but she was helpless against his seductive onslaught.
She obliged him, opening her mouth to curl her tongue with his. Spice and heat tempted and teased. What was a woman to do when faced with such an irresistible combination? She sucked at the silky tongue tangling with hers then moaned at the rich flavor exploding on her taste buds like a sumptuous treat.
Strong arms hauled her up against a muscled chest and thighs. Iron hard interest pressed against her belly.
Snap out of it! Swallowing Jake Malone’s tongue is not part of the plan.
With an inward wince at her flagging willpower, she moved with more panic than grace. Fortunately, her lack of finesse didn’t matter. A healthy shove to his chest with one hand accompanied a sharp tug on his hair with the other. A quick jerk of her high-heeled boot behind his knee finished the job and the Marauders’ number one tight end toppled backward to sprawl at her feet.
Murphy barked excitedly and pranced around Jake’s prone form.
She sucked in air. “Not your enemy, huh? Wanna bet?”
To Win Her Love

BASS - Undercover Series #2

In a nightclub called HellFire, things are bound to get hot.

When a girl is gruesomely murdered after a night clubbing at notorious nightspot HellFire, it hits too close to home for the club’s bewitching house DJ, Elizabeth Jones. Already shaken, she must make sure of her priorities when the victim’s sexy ex-boyfriend Kurt starts asking questions.

Kurt Roberts is convinced that someone at HellFire knows something about the murder, and has embarked on a personal crusade to find justice. But Kurt has entered a world not his own – a dangerous, savage world, where drugs and money drive people to violence and extortion. The only beacon of light? Elizabeth Jones, mesmerizing clubbers with her music and Kurt with her looks.

Trusting men doesn’t come easily to Elizabeth, and Kurt isn’t too ready to trust her either. The murder only makes them more hesitant, but they can’t help but be drawn to each other. For the first time in their lives, neither can tell which of their instincts is right.

What secrets did Kurt’s dead girlfriend keep from him? And what doesn’t Elizabeth know about the club she calls home? With their eyes locked on each other, they may not see the danger until it’s too late.

Perfect for fans of Kylie Scott, Shiloh Walker and C.J. Roberts.

I'd like to welcome award winning author, John Larkin to my blog, promoting his new release The Pause. Take a look at what John has to say about his new book, being a writer and why he'd like to walk in women's shoes!

How long have you been writing for?

I developed a love of writing at high school but then lost it in my late teens. When I was travelling and Europe in my early twenties I started again – just a journal and letters to friends and families. It was my sister who said that she used to read my letters out to friends and work and they used to have everyone in stitches. After my post-adolescent wanderings around Europe were done (in other words I ran out of money), I came home and decided that I wanted to go to uni. The practical thing to do was to do a computing science degree, as I was working as a computer programmer at the time, but I soon got bored out of my brain with this. Always in the back of my mind was the idea that I wanted to be a writer, so I switched degrees to English Literature and started writing my socks off. It all kind of fell into place from there.


What’s the name of your latest release?

My new novel is called The Pause. It is an uplifting novel on teen suicide (and yes; it can be done).


Where did you get the idea for this story?

Not long after The Shadow Girl was published I had a complete mental breakdown. The two events are unrelated; although in many respects I believe writing The Shadow Girl simply postponed my breakdown. Things in my personal life were going to hell in a hand-basket and I think writing gave me a safe place to go. Once I had finished the novel I lost that safe place and my world fell apart. I spent several weeks in psychiatric hospitals and eventually with some amazing care I was able to slowly piece my life back together. The Pause was born from this awful period of my life. I try to live by the philosophy that if something bad happens to me I am going to do something positive in response. It’s a kind of yin-yang thing that I live by. The loss of the life that I loved (my touchstone, my safety net, my everything) and the subsequent mental breakdown was my yin; The Pause became my yang.


Do you imagine a particular person you know or have seen who are in the public eye when creating your main characters?

I’m more of a method writer. I create a character and then, as I’m writing him or her, I become that character. I don’t dress up like them or anything like that, it’s just that I truly believe (and see them as real people) as I’m writing them to the point that they are real.


Of all the characters in your books which is your favourite and why?

I loved Declan (The Pause) because he needed looking after. Things happened to him that he could not control and (like me) it almost destroyed him. But he needed help (lots of help), external help to piece his life back together, which was true of my own breakdown. I think my all-time favourite character is The Shadow Girl. Although some truly terrible things happen to her, she is never a victim. She has tremendous strength, a positive outlook, and a determination to make her life better. I modeled her partly on the real shadow girl whom I met during a school talk, but I added in the feistiness and zest for life and confidence of my eldest daughter, Chantelle.


When writing, are you a planner or a panster?

A bit of both. I like to plan to some degree but I also leave room for the characters, for creativity to take over and they do take over. When it’s going well the characters and the story takes on a life of its own and all I do is wander along behind sweeping up.



What are you reading at the moment?

I’ve just finished Malala Yousafzai’s memoir. Although I’m fairly well read and informed, it left me completely dumbfounded that such ignorance, such as that shown by the Taliban, still exists in these “enlightened” times. The strength and determination shown by Malala (and her wonderful father) left me awestruck.


If you could be anyone for a day, who would that be?

I would like to walk in a woman’s shoes for the day (not in a cross-dressing sense of course, though that might be interesting too). I would like to be a Muslim woman and wear the hijab and experience what it is like in Kabul and also in a western city.


Complete this sentence; I’m indifferent to… home renovation, cooking and reality shows on TV. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.

Thanks John!

I just want to add my two cents worth here and tell you all that I read The Pause in one day!
Here's my review:

I knew I had to wait for the school holidays to read John Larkin's, The Pause. I knew I wouldn't be able to put it down. I was right. A powerful, uplifting story about teen suicide, Declan, a seventeen year old pauses before he attempts to take his life and the narrative of his future life begins. It is heartwarming and funny - yes funny - with many brilliant lines and ideas highlighting the genius of the premise of the story and the exceptional writing style of this skilled author. If I could give this book six stars I would because it is at a level above the rest. Well done, John Larkin.
