Rogue Rider

Today I am reviewing the book Rougue Rider by Larissa Ione. I am also hosting a giveaway for this book as well!

 

Book Info:

 

They're here.

They ride.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Born of a match between good and evil, four siblings stand between hell's minions and everything they want to destroy. They are the Lords of Deliverance, and they have the power to ward off Doomsday . . . or let it ride . . .

ROGUE RIDER

Jillian Cardiff came to this remote mountain town to forget the demon attack that almost killed her. Instead, she rescues-and falls for-a gorgeous stranger who has no memory of anything other than his name. Handsome, charming, and protective, Reseph seems like the kind of man whom Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man who can be very dangerous . . .

Reseph may not know why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbors are killed, and demon hunters arrive on the scene, Reseph fears that he's putting Jillian in danger. And once it's revealed that Reseph is also Pestilence, the Horseman responsible for ravaging the world, he and Jillian must face the greatest challenge of all: Can they forget the horrors of a chilling past to save the future they both desire?

After the scandalous demise of her marriage, Lady Olivia Carlow knows the rakes of the ton will think her fair game.

Turning the tables on the notorious rogue, she blackmails him into playing her betrothed for the season. But no matter how broad his shoulders or chiseled his features, she will never fall prey to his suave charm.

Still, Roland is not about to abandon his original wager. If anything, learning that the lovely Olivia is as bold as she is beautiful makes him more determined to seduce her into never saying "never" again.

Too Dangerous to desire

Too dangerous to desire
by Cara Elliott

Book Info:
Can a Flame from the Past be Rekindled?

Long ago, Sophie Lawrance chose prudence over passion, rejecting a rebellious young rogue for the sake of her family-no matter the ache it left in her heart. But after a specter from her father's past resurfaces, threatening to destroy all she holds dear, the desperate beauty knows there is only one man whose shadowy skills can save her.

Or Is It Too Dangerous to Play with Fire?

Cameron Daggett is a man of many secrets . . . and many sins. He's never forgotten the pain of losing Sophie. But now, with a chance to win her back, Cameron sets aside his anger and agrees to help Sophie save her father's honor. Together they embark on a perilous masquerade, leading them to a remote country estate near the sea. There, they must battle a cunning adversary-and their own burning desires. Will they be consumed by the flames? Or can they prove that true love conquers all?

Author Info: 

I started creating books at the age of five, or so my mother tells me. And she has the proof--a neatly penciled story, the pages lavishly illustrated with full color crayon drawings of horses and bound with staples--to back up her claim. I have since moved on from Westerns to writing about Regency England, a time and place that has captured my imagination ever since I opened the covers of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice."

I have a BA and an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale University and now work as the Creative Director of a lifestyle sporting magazine, a job which lets me combine my love of the printed word with my love of art. I'm very fortunate in that my work allows me to travel to interesting destinations around the world--however, my favorite spot is London, where the funky antique markets and used book stores offer a wealth of inspiration for my stories.

My review: 

I enjoyed this romance novel overall. I really liked that  it was a historical romance (which is my favorite kind because I love history). The characters in this novel were likeable for the most part and I cared what happened to them. This historical romance novel was also well written and this book was an easy read. The plot was good and easy to follow. I would recommend this historical romance highly it is a very enjoyable read.

Guest Post: 

What made you want to write Barefoot in the Rain? 

First of all, thanks for inviting me today! So good to be here.  Barefoot in the Rain was, in fact, originally conceived as the first book in the Barefoot Bay series.  This is the book I wanted to write when I initially decided I’d like to take a break from romantic suspense and explore deeper, even darker emotions in a more character-driven story.  The idea of having to “forgive the unforgiveable” in order to find love really appealed to me.  But when I sketched out the whole Barefoot Bay series into four books, something in my gut told me this should be the second book.  Not sure why -- maybe because it does tackle heavier issues than the first book. 

If you could not write romance novels what genre would you write and why? 

I also write young adult novels and enjoy every minute of living in a teenager’s head.  No, really, I do!  I read YA voraciously, so that is definitely one of my favorite genres of fiction.  I also love to read biographies because I’m fascinated by people who overcome monumental odds to find success and peace in their lives.  I’m interested in anything spiritual, also, so that kind of non-fiction could be residing in me.  All I know is that I will write a hundred books in my lifetime, and I’m only about 1/3 of the way there!

What are you working on next? 

I just finished Barefoot in the Sun, the third book in the Barefoot Bay series, for release next spring. Right now, I’m starting Barefoot by the Sea, book four, scheduled for release in one year.  I’m enjoying being immersed in the community of Barefoot Bay and the challenge of giving each of the main characters a unique story and once-in-a-lifetime romance!

My review: 

I enjoy this romance novel very much! I do have to say that I was surprised by this because it not my usual favorite romance genre.  This story was so sweet with many likeable characters. It was a very sweet and enjoyable story. It was well written which a good and relateable plot and characters. I have read other romance novels by this author but I have to say this one was my favorite and I hope to read the rest of the books in the Barefoot Bay series! I would recommend this book highly its a nice and enjoyable read. 

I would like to thank the people from Forever for letting me review this romance novel.
