The Cimarron Series #3
Into Her Fantasies
Lucy Fava arrives on the Island of Arcadia desperate to save her wedding planning company. Her plan? Secure the year’s biggest bash—a double Cimarron wedding. But first she must impress the man who controls the kingdom’s purse strings, Prince Shiraz Cimarron.
Beyond beautiful and unspeakably alpha, the enigmatic male ignites every drop of Lucy’s blood—and a flood of dark, dangerous fantasies. She vows to leave Arcadia as soon as possible, but when Mother Nature grounds her, she can’t resist a taste of her fiery desire for Shiraz.
While trying to convince herself Shiraz is just another fling, Lucy discovers the soul hidden in his perfect body, the lover beyond his regal kisses, and the dominant fantasy she’s craved her entire life.
But when real life pierces their passionate bubble, Lucy realizes seduction has become addiction, passion has turned into need, and attraction has deepened to love. Shiraz is her fantasy come true, except she never wanted a prince with obligations to an entire country.
It’s time for Lucy to cut her losses and run—but will she be able to let Shiraz go without admitting he’s taking her heart and soul with him?

Kitty's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
So, this is Book 3 of the Cimmarron Series. Unfortunately, I haven’t read 1 or 2 and I am determined to find the time to do that. Ms. Fava and His Highness were wonderful! I loved both of the them and couldn’t wait to see their Happily Ever After. Angel Payne wrote a light-hearted, fun, serious story that just enthralled me from the start. I could not put this book down.
I was taken by surprise by the mix of Southern California Valley Girl and high-strung pompousness. And, what surprised me more is that it worked! But, was he really a virgin until he met Lucina Louise? With his deft fingers, his total control and master of the dirty talk? I don’t think so.
And, Lucy knew just the right buttons to push to bring out every emotion in Shiraz’s psyche … love, hate, frustration, lust, disbelief, Prince of Pricks. Oh, did I mention lust? Yea, lots of that … on the floor, in a bed, on palm fronds. And, Shiraz knew just how to bring his Tupulai to her knees …
dominance and a bite of pain – her dark secrets. She’s used to being the one planning the fairy tales and knows that there’s no hope for them to have one. He’s her soul-mate and knows that she has to get away from him so that he could live the life that he imagined. She needs to break her own heart to set his free and she’s willing to do that because she thinks she’s not good enough, not worthy of the HEA, not up to snuff for the royal family to accept her.
This book was wonderful. I had so much fun reading it. All the characters were fun, quirky, interesting. I loved the references to movies. I loved Lucy making up words. I loved trying to decipher what they were saying in Arcadian. I loved Shiraz mastering his little girl. I loved everything about this story.
When I thought of Angel Payne, I thought of dark romances. Well, this definitely wasn’t one. She gave us light-hearted characters who knew who they were and what they needed. She gave us a little laughter and a lot of love. She wrote an interesting and enjoyable story, with a touch of the good stuff. Shiraz was hot … Lucy was in awe. And, there is no way I am not going to not read other books in this series. I cannot wait to see what she does with Christa, with Jayd. If there is even a slim chance that the rest of this series is half as good as Into Her Fantasies, I will gladly wait to read them. Angel Payne, you have a new stalker!

The long awaited happily ever after for Prince Shiraz Cimarron is here and I just adored the hell out of it. He couldn't have been paired with a more perfect heroine in Lucy Fava. This EXPLOSIVE romance had me grinning ear to ear. The chemistry, the connection, and the overall vibe between these two strong-willed characters was just delicious and perfect. INTO HER FANTASIES is about two people searching for their 'worth'. Prince Shiraz, the youngest of his brothers, wants to prove his worth for his people and his brothers. He wants to be needed for more than his knowledge of the kingdom's finances. Lucy Fava wants to be worthy of the Prince, but her past has her running away from what she truly wants. Lucy's little "jaunt" to Arcadia turns into MORE than she could have ever dreamed. She will rely on her quick wit and sassy attitude to keep her heart protected, but Prince Shiraz will stop at nothing to break down her walls and own her heart for good.
Sexy, suspenseful, and beautifully kinky, INTO HER FANTASIES is another WINNER in the series! Angel Payne is a pro at setting up her beautiful and brooding alpha males with the perfect women.

Into Her Fantasies was an excellent addition to the Cimarron Royals clan. I'm tickled by the fact that each of the Cimarron men have fallen head of heels for an American. So sweet. As far as plot, this one rocked the house. I felt like I was in the middle of a storm. Everything that meant anything, happened in such a fluid and quick pace I was left gripping the kindle and holding on tight until the last page!
You don't have to start with the first two books in the series. This can be read as a standalone but I think series are always the best read in order. Heat level a solid 8 out of 10 which is where I prefer my reads. Nice and spicy hot.
"Into Her Fantasies is mad dash of twists, turns, agnst, sex, and a whole lot of heart. Be prepared to feel your heart pound and your panties melt because this one is wild ride for your emotions." ~Audrey Carlan, #1 NYT Bestselling Author

Into Her Fantasies is the 3rd installment in Angel Payne's Cimmeron series where we have a beautiful remote tropical island that is governed by a sexy royal family and is steeped in traditions. In each book, one of the royals ends up meeting the love of their life and it's never who society or tradition thinks they should end up with (and that's why we love our romance *wink*). In Into Her Fantasies, we have our heroine venturing to the remote royal island to hopefully seal the deal and have her company become the wedding coordinators for the dual wedding of the century (books 1 & 2's couples). All she has to do is win over the man who has been put in charge with the final decision; Prince Shiraz. Think super sexy alpha billionaire CEO with a heart of gold and a Superman emblem across his sexy chest with a riding crop in his back pocket. The man is a rich hero that oozes dominant sex, all with a sense of humor and a smirk *panties melted*.
Angel Payne elegantly mixes humor and real world American snark with old world charm and rich traditions to bring you a romantic tale unlike any other. Old world meets new, modern meets Tudors, urban city meets island life, male meets female, prince meets his princess. I absolutely loved this book!

This is one book that will definitely take your breath away and leave you heated up and panting to live out the fantasies this book presents.
You have sexy yet mysterious Prince Shiraz and the sassy and sweet Lucina and their instant connection on meeting. His dominance over Lucina , his taking over everything yet Lucina doesn’t mind, she is just falling for this man whom she doesn’t know really anything about. As you are pulled deeper and deeper into their story, their angst and emotions play out and you cant seem to get enough . There is passion, angst, pain, pleasure, love, tears, joy…as the reader, you fall deeper into this story where you are just going where the author has you going on the path but soon you are deep where the characters take you-you are no longer aware where the reader is but where the characters start and the reader ends. You just are deep into Shiraz and Lucina’s lives. Its addictive and gosh I wanted more. Lucina is a strong willed woman yet with Shiraz , she wanted to so be his submissive. I loved how she loved him enough to let go. Shiraz is this mysterious and dominant alpha male who found his soul mate in Lucina. Their love story is passionate and full of angst yet love as well. Will Shiraz prove to Lucina that he is the man for her, that he loves her enough or will this be a brief and painful love affair gone wrong? Only you will know by reading their love story and I definitely recommend that you read their love story!!
** This is book 3 of the Cimarron Series, but can be read as a standalone***
My Rating: 4.9 stars *****

Passion, love, discovery and fantasies, all things that Angel Payne excel's in when writing her books. This one is no exception!
Lucy and Shiraz are a couple that will not only steal you heart and take your breath away, bu they will also bring you into their story and have you live it as you read along.
Lucy a woman that is close to how we all are, not seeing who we really are and how others see us. I loved her character because I feel that she and I are similar, that and I love her whit!
Shiraz, is a man who is everything a woman could want and more. The way he sees her and loves her and wants to share her life with her by her side.
Another great romance that rivals the fairy tales I used to read as a child. Now instead of the brothers Grim or Disney I read Angel Payne and read of New princesses that I can be proud of.

Book 3 is my favorite in The Cimarron Series. Lucy and Prince Shiraz have so much chemistry and are giving into their desires. I loved that their bond was so strong even when they tried to fight it.
Lucy goes to Arcadia trying to land a Cimarron wedding. When she meets Prince Shiraz Cimarron, she can't help but be attracted to the man. He is mysterious, an alpha, and loyal.
As they spend more time together, their passion can't be contained and feelings begin to develop.
When she learns that he made a vow to marry out of convenience and not love she has to decide if she should end their relationship now or later.
No matter how hard they try, love always wins.

I fell in love with this series and the Cimarron family as a whole from the very first page of Into His Dark, and with each successive story I fall in love a bit more.
The world is intrigued by the last remaining Cimarron bachelor, the gorgeous and sexy Prince Shiraz, who is fiercely private when it comes to discussing his personal life. American wedding planner Lucy Fava is a full fledged member of the Prince Shiraz fan club and she is about to have the opportunity to get up close and personal with him for the next week as she pitches her company’s proposal for the dual wedding celebrations of his brothers to the very man who controls the kingdom’s finances. Nothing she has read and no pictures she has seen could possibly compare to the intensity and insanely gorgeous reality of the man who stands before her in the palais when she arrives though. Lucy’s rambling inner monologue as her thoughts took her on a dirty-minded tangent had me cracking up laughing as she struggled to form coherent professional sentences rather than blurting inappropriate insights into her thought process, but fortunately the prince didn’t seem to mind.
Shiraz is a man who takes his duty to his country and people very seriously. He is a natural born leader and protector although his daily duties do not often make those traits apparent. He also feels a bit undervalued by his brothers who do not seem to realize he is is no longer just their kid brother but a man of many skills and talents beyond accounting and finance. They have also turned away from the long standing traditions of his people and have infuriated the Pura by claiming their happiness with the American women who stole their hearts leaving Shiraz as the country’s last hope to recognize a royal wedding including an Arcadian bride. He is far from happy at that thought but is resigned to his duty – until that duty is threatened by desire when his world suddenly clicks into sharper focus as a beautiful and sassy American wedding designer lights up his world and presents him with everything he never suspected he would want.
Lucy’s sass definitely intrigues him and her irreverent comments are a refreshing change from the masses who rush to bow and kiss whatever body part they feel will get them the farthest. She doesn’t hesitate to challenge him on so many levels and he finds himself responding to it in a way that neither of them imagined which in turn terrifies Lucy. She has always hidden her slightly darker desires and kinks, but this man sees directly into her soul and not only recognizes them but revels in them despite his inexperience. Men she has dated in the past have made her feel inadequate or freaky for her needs, but Shiraz fully supports and celebrates them. Too bad his country’s hopes rest on him marrying another woman despite the fact he has not proposed or even kissed her in all the years he has known her…
Into Her Fantasies was an amazing read that I absolutely loved! The story is engaging and fast paced as Lucy and Shiraz battle some sizzling chemistry amidst a raging Mediterranean hurricane that traps her on the island for much longer than expected. She came to the kingdom in a strictly professional capacity but she never anticipated connecting with the island and its people so strongly, much less finding everything she ever desired in a man in a prince of the realm. She is well versed in helping others find their HEA, but when it comes to her own, her self doubt and feelings of inadequacy threaten her future happiness. Oh and did I mention how freakin’ hot this story is? Holy Shiraz, bring on the ice and a lot of batteries or time with your significant other because the prince of panty melting will have you seriously swooning! Familiar faces from the prior two books play an integral role, especially Prince Samsyn, and I loved getting to know a little more about the Cimarron Princess Jayd as well as Shiraz’s trusted secretary Crista who becomes a fast friend to Lucy. This series continues to win my heart with each new installment and I absolutely cannot wait for more!

Speechless. I. Am. Speechless…. ok not really, because I HAVE to rave about Into Her Fantasies! This series just keeps getting better, and I don’t think it’s over! YEAH Us! Lucina and Shiraz turn the whole ‘opposites attract’ idea on its head. The ultimate California bachelorette and a reclusive underestimated prince? What could possibly go wrong? The insta-love between these two is more like insta-explosion of conflicting emotions that can’t be denied. Shiraz is a natural Dominant that has not yet explored his abilities or desires and has compensated by pouring himself into a political post that stifles his soul in order to serve his country. Lucy is a vibrant, intelligent woman who has settled for less than she desires in an effort to ‘be normal’. Both are looking for a passion in their life that they didn’t think would ever come along. I love this trope! Although the read is a little heavy on Lucinda’s awkward sarcasm and random pop culture references (just a personal opinion, I know the author loves that stuff!) it doesn’t detract from her understanding of what getting involved with Shiraz could mean and her internal dialogue demonstrates how much she struggles with her own insecurities as well as desires. Unfortunately, Shiraz isn’t the best at vocalizing where his head is at. Good thing he knows how to show it! While he seems to take his immediate response to Lucina to heart, he still has his own uncertainties to work out. The chemistry with these two is off the charts! And while there is a solid emotional backstory of Lucy and Shiraz having a role in the greater Cimarron family saga, there is a focus on their growth together that was touching and honest. This is a character driven read that gave depth to the series that I didn’t even think it needed, but thank goodness for it. And just enough angst and drama from the Arcadian populace to keep it all very interesting. I need a drink! Or just my own Shiraz Cimarron!

REVIEW: I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review. While this book is considered a standalone, like the other two in the series, I bought books one and two to read prior. I enjoy books in a series, and when I can I prefer to read them in order. This book is book three in the series. It takes place in a small Mediterranean island that is just starting to change it's traditions and opening itself up to the outside world. is book is about the youngest brother Shirak. He is the third son, and third inline to the thrown of Arcadia. Lucy is invited to the island to secure the contract for the upcoming double royal wedding. When she arrives she is told that it is Shiraz that she will have to impress and prove her worth too. But one look between these two and sparks fly. These wo shouldn't give into their deeper desires but they are drawn to each other. This book includes some steamy scenes along with danger and a happily ever after. Our prince is a little kinky like his brothers. He speaks to a part of Lucy that she feels ashamed of. The only part of these books that I had a hard time with was the fact that our prince is a Virgin. How can he be such a sex God, and understand how o be a domineering Master if he's never had sex? This part kept me wondering and a little confused. Because I couldn't get past this it deterred the story for me. That's why I'm giving it only a 4 star review. Still a great series, that is well written and has amazing chemistry between our main characters. This is my first book series by Angel Payne that I have read, but I think I'll grab some of her other books. While there is kink in this book and the other in the series, it is definitely more watered down version of kink. More vanilla kink, if that's possible.

Into Her Fantasies by the amazing Angel Payne is the third book in the HOT Cimarron series and wow oh wow, the feels! I absolutely loved Lucy Fava and Shiraz Cimarron! It never fails, I end up loving each heroine more than the last!
Lucy Fava is a wedding planner working hard to snag the epic double Cimarron wedding. She’s beautiful, insightful, passionate, and has a wicked sense of humor that just tickles mine! Lucy is the type of woman that I could really be myself with. We’re both quirky and sarcastic amongst other things. One of the things that I loved the most about her is her selflessness; she really put others before herself, especially Shiraz and what he needed.
Shiraz Cimarron…I think I swallowed my tongue. Seriously though, his intelligence and insightfulness matches Lucy’s and that’s one of the biggest things that touched my heart. But what was the serious turn-on? His ability to see the real Lucy and help her in a way she never imagined. There was one more aspect of him that I enjoyed, a physical one, that his brothers don’t have. I’m a goner for men that have that. Want to know what it is? Read it and find out!
Into Her Fantasies is a rollercoaster of a tale complete with the flips and twists that take your breath away. This book made me grin, crack up, sigh, hold my breath, ache, sob, and cheer. Angel provided pure magic with this one and I cannot be more grateful to her. I can't wait for the rest of the series! Seriously Angel, you know I'm not patient at all.
Lucy Fava is a wedding planner working hard to snag the epic double Cimarron wedding. She’s beautiful, insightful, passionate, and has a wicked sense of humor that just tickles mine! Lucy is the type of woman that I could really be myself with. We’re both quirky and sarcastic amongst other things. One of the things that I loved the most about her is her selflessness; she really put others before herself, especially Shiraz and what he needed.

Oh how I love books by Angel Payne. She writes the most
amazing books. Her books are so full of emotion. They are
fun to read. They are so well written, they just flow like and
river caring you away with them. They make you forget all the
trouble and crazy around you, as you lose yourself in the book.
This book is about Shiraz and Lucy, he is the little brother in
this family and it seems the family cannot see that he has
grown into a man. But Lucy sees it, and he sees her too even
he naughty secret. One he will make her learn is nothing to
be ashamed of. But when she figures out his secret and she
helps him with it that is where all the fun begins. As she loses
herself with him and her heart she keeps trying to remember
he is suppose to marry someone else. When a Medicane
hits the Island and she finds herself traped on the island, she
is left to wonder what to do. And Shiraz has to make a
decision marry for country or marry for love. Let’s hope he
makes the right choice.
Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you
enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book,
please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it
when you do; they value your opinions too.

Romance readers know there are the stories that warm your heart, those that pull at the heart strings and maybe even a few tears and those that ignite your own fantasies. Then there is Angel Payne’s Into her Fantasies and it is beyond compare.
The intensity and dominance of the mysterious Prince Shiraz and the self-doubt of Lucina will weave into your heart and soul pulling you deeper into their lives until you no longer feel their emotions as a reader, but as them.
Lucina is a strong and independent woman who shares the fears so many of us hide, that we will never be good enough. What we dream of, fantasize about… It is all unreachable and wrong or is it?
Can Shiraz be the one who shatters her protective walls and proves to her how worthy she truly is?
“His declaration was everything I hadn’t been capable of. Fervent. Real. Dripping with the honesty of his heart. Incredible man. Perfect prince. Already my hero.”
** This is book 3 of the Cimarron Series, but can be read independently

OMG what a fantastic story although I knew it would be. We never got to learn much about Price Shiraz other than he's the finance guy. He most definitely was worth the wait. His quiet out of the spotlight life only made him more appealing to Lucy. She is one of the wedding planners that had one the chance to convince him that the company she works for in LA is the one for the Double Royal Wedding. The only problem is she has more competition than she thought she was going to have and it isn't just the chemistry she has with Prince, but the woman who advises her that she plans on being the third bride. Wow what an entrance. I love this Royal family and their beautiful Island. I can't wait for more. I'm sure baby sister the Princess is due to have her story told.

First Base
It started with First Base and spiraled down from there. I love the sassy, take no crap from anyone weather they are royalty or not attitude of Lucy. She has the SoCal spirit that gives her just a little extra in all the right places. The fact that it took a man like Shiraz to bring out her true self. He showed her that it was wrong how she was it just was. This is a common theme in Ms. Payne's books. It is one of the things I really like. Be who you are and people are either going to love it or hate it, but stay true to you self. You really see his come through. Lucy has been hurt by love before and is left feeling less then normal. But hey normal is was over rated.

Omg I so didn't want this to end. I absolutely loved it. I was so scared for the kids that was caught in that storm and everyone risked everything to save them. Shiraz and Lucina is the perfect fairy tale love story. I was so happy when they finally both said I love you. Also locked the part where Camellia had her baby shower. The fact that all the Cimarron men fell in love with American women was great. This is a must read series. Be ready for the passion and fire between them all. You will cry one minute and be all hot and bothered the next. Angel is brilliant.

Angel Payne knows how to draw you into her books and make you feel you are living the story. In her series, each book is better than the last! Her love scenes are very hot and steamy. I look forward to reading each new book, knowing it will not disappoint.
Lucina is a wedding planner traveling to Arcadia to finalize contracts on a royal double wedding. When she arrives there, she meets the youngest royal male sibling, Shiraz. Rumors have been spreading, in other countries, about the status of his sexuality. Shiraz is very private about his personal life. Lucina, a huge member of the Prince Shiraz fan club,gets the chance to get close enough to learn more about him while discussing the details of her and Ezra’s ideas about the wedding for Shiraz’s brothers, Samsyn and Evrest.
This book gets hot and steamy and the main characters find their inner selves that have been kept hidden, and learn a lot about themselves and find their kink. I enjoyed this series, especially this book, very much.

Lucy is flying to Arcadia to hopefully plan a double royal wedding. She is thrilled and anxious about that as well as coming face to face with the last single brother of the family, Shiraz, who has the final say on whether she gets the gig. He is hotness personified wrapped in beautiful royal package.
Shiraz is being pursued by one of the islands eligible women who sees herself as Princess and have the color-coded wedding plans to prove it.
But lightening strikes when Shiraz and Lucy meet and the heat level in so intense! Add in a disaster of a medicane, two lost children and the near death of a new friend, and you have an emotion explosion.
Two lovers, one who sees the future and one who sees the end, along with a vindictive fiancé' wannabe and you have heartache multiplied.
The passion is off the charts. The tension factor is through the roof. The love is heart swelling and heart breaking.
The series is all the things and I have adored the Cimarron family!

Ok
This book was ok. Not my favorite. It kept bringing up a bombing but you don't get all the details, it left me confused and irritated.
