Genre: western romance
Format: paperback (lar); 278pp w/ 31 chapters
Whose: Chassie, Trevor & Edgard
Age Range: adult                                             

            Synopsis
Chassie West Glanzer hasn’t been a stranger to drama and tragedy. A year of wedded bliss to sexy-as-sin cowboy Trevor Glanzer has brought her the happiness and contentment she never thought she’d find, and mellowed Trevor’s rodeo wanderlust. The Trevor’s old roping partner ambles up the driveway—and Chassie’s life changes drastically.

Trevor never expected to see Edgard Mancuso again, after it became clear he couldn’t be the man Edgard needed. Now Edgard is back from Brazil to sort out their tangles past, and Trevor is plagued with feelings he thought he’d buried over three years ago. Although Trevor is hat-over-bootheels in love with his sweet, feisty wife, the sense his life is missing a piece has always gnawed at him.

Chassie’s shock that Edgard and Trevor were once lovers turns to fear of losing her husband. Or worse, fear that Trevor will stay with her only out of a sense of duty. Yet as the three of them spend time together, the sins of the past blur and fade, leaving raw emotion—and unbridled passion.

Passion that could heal...or cause irreparable damage to their future.

Warning: this book contains unbelievably explicit sex, including multiple cowboy/cowgirl/cowboy ménage scenes, juicy, hot, male on male action, a bucketful of politically incorrect situations and true Western ideology.

REVIEW, The Harlequin


They will play with us, then destroy us...they are what we fear in the dark

The Harlequin
Series: Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, book 15
Pub: 2007, Headline
Author: Laurell K. Hamilton
Cat: paranormal fiction
Format: paperback (mid); 481 pp w/ 47 chapters
Age Range: adult                                             

            Synopsis
The first warning is unexpected, calculated. The second warning is a gift: a plain white mask, carefully wrapped. But white is good—white means we are only being watched.

It seems the power that connects me, Anita Blake, with Jean-Claude, Vampire Master of the City, and Richard, leader of the werewolves, is attracting very unwelcome attention—from creatures so feared no vampire will willingly speak their name. They are known as the Harlequin, and they have the authority to pass judgement upon me.

It is forbidden to speak of the Harlequin unless you’ve been contracted. And to be contracted is to face a sentence of death.
