Las espinas de la rosa blanca
by Rafael Hurtado«Ni siquiera el destino tiene el poder de impedir que continúen naciendo rosas blancas». Posiblemente sea cierto el dicho de que la realidad supera a la ficción, porque no hay nada más emocionante que la vida misma; y este es el relato de esta novela, una historia que podíamos decir aquello de «basada en hechos reales», aunque no es así, pero su relato es tan natural que el lector se sentirá identificado con la historia de un gran amor, un amor que nos hace perder los papeles. Lo único que hoy queda sano y limpio en una sociedad apoyada en intereses y placeres instantáneos.
Diplomacia
by Zahra Owens Saura GarcíaJack Christensen tiene todo lo que podía desear.

Entonces Lucas Carlton entra en una recepción que ofrece la embajada y se presenta junto con su prometida americana. Desde el primer apretón de manos, el joven británico causa tal impresión en Jack que lo deja confuso e inusualmente inseguro.

Cuando sus mujeres deciden irse durante un fin de semana, Jack y Lucas comienzan una apasionada relación, que continuará después de que sus parejas vuelvan. Sin embargo, los círculos diplomáticos son extremadamente conservadores, y ambos saben que la mujer correcta a su lado es una significativa contribución para su éxito. ¿Serán capaces de tomar las decisiones adecuadas para sus vidas profesionales y privadas? ¿O tendrán que sacrificar una o la otra?

Deadly Innocent: He may not be guilty of murder, but his love proved deadly to more than one
by Magdel RoetsSome women learn from their mistakes—some don't! Penelope married a man who first charmed her—then abused her. Fear killed the love she had for him. Then fear branched off into hatred. Should she fight back; should she try to escape? When in desperation fear and hatred collided, it produced a way out, but at a cost. After many years the price had been paid. Penny was offered happiness from the only man who really, deeply loved her. Could she return this love? Could fondness grow into the love this man deserved? Excitement and pleasure versus stability. Which would produce the life she craved? She made her choice, but had nagging doubts. If only she could manage her love life the way she conducted her business. Never seeing what was coming, she walked into the same trap. This time, too late to get rescued.
Shades of Gray
by Brooke MckinleyMiller Sutton, a by-the-book FBI agent, is starting to see some troubling shades of gray in his black-and-white world. He comes face-to-face with his doubts in the person of Danny Butler, a mid-level drug runner Miller hopes to use to catch a much larger fish: Roberto Hinestroza, a drug lord Miller has pursued for years. Danny has no interest in being a witness against his boss, both out of a sense of twisted loyalty and because he knows double-crossing Hinestroza is a sure death sentence. But he reluctantly agrees to cooperate, and as he suspects, it doesn't take long for Hinestroza to figure out the betrayal. Miller is surprised to discover Danny's not the career-criminal lowlife he expected; at the same time, Danny finds himself helplessly attracted to Miller's innate goodness. They barely begin to explore the sparking attraction between them when Hinestroza's hitman tracks them down, and then they're on the run, both for their lives and for any kind of love. Shades of Gray is a brilliantly written story by Brooke McKinley. With a solidly developed storyline and a fantastic cast of characters, this tale will take over your senses. [It]has messages on acceptance, forgiveness and the importance of personal growth throughout the story. There is a healthy dose of action, suspense and a few sensual scenes filled with enough heat to fog up your windows. 5 of 5 nymphs Scandalous Minx @ Literary Nymphs This is easily one of the most enjoyable books I've read this year. Captivating and enthralling, Shades of Gray shines with a tight plot and superior characterization. The writing is engaging and the characters have incredible depth. There are no cookie cutter villains or superheroes, only variations of good and evil within each person. The situations created are interesting and complex with few easy solutions and only one or two last minute heroics but even those are tempered by high physical and emotional costs. 5 of 5 cherries Cactus @ Whipped Cream Reviews While Miller and Danny battle their demons and work together to save themselves, they also find that they completely lose themselves in ways never anticipated. I cried and cried during some of the internal ramblings and confessions they made to themselves and to each other. I haven't read a book where I wanted the two men to find a way back to each other this badly for a long time. 5 of 5 stars xbmbgrl @ Rainbow Reviews

West Coast Love (Journey to the Heart #3)
by Tif MarceloAn aspiring food journalist and a grumpy cameraman take to the California coast for the biggest foodie event of the year in this sweet third novel in Tif Marcelo’s charming and romantic Journey to the Heart series.Online food blogger Victoria Aquino has spent years doing social media for True North and Paraiso Retreats, and she’s ready to take her blog and writing to the next level. But after she was catfished and suffered a heartbreak, she’s clamoring for change. She auditions for and accepts a food host opportunity: covering the Labor Day holiday BBQ festivals along the California coast. For eight days, she’ll travel with a producer and a camera and sound person, in a vintage—and rickety—RV, and she’ll get her very first byline as a video journalist. The only catch? She can’t stand BBQ. And the cameraman also auditioned for the job. Joel Silva is a cameraman with his own past and big dreams of his own, and when he finds out that the job he auditioned for went to Victoria—a woman he’d gotten to know covering Paraiso Retreats, and someone he later slept with—he’s understandably furious and curious. Joel knows the BBQ circuit like the back of his hand, and he now has to help Victoria do her job amidst their growing attraction. When the producer picks up on their push/pull vibe and increases the ante to feature both in front of the camera with the best host taking the next cross-country feature, the two have to decide: is their blossoming romance something that should be left to fizzle along with BBQ season? Or is it the beginning of something even more delicious?

His Cursed Prince
by Ryan LovelessThree facts about Tuckington Belle: 1. Given the choice between illegally scaling the royal castle’s walls to steal flowers for a client at his family’s dress shop or going on a date with a girl his brother set him up with (“He’s fertile, and he can sew!”), Tuck will scale the wall like a spider after a fly. 2. If, upon knocking himself unconscious when he falls off the wall, Tuck wakes up bruised, blindfolded, and inside the castle, where—based on the unearthly wails heard nightly—the prince no one has seen in ten years is probably a ghost, Tuck would still choose this over a date with a girl. 3. Tuck thinks it’s time to admit he’s gay. Three facts about Prince Frederick George Deor (Read and approved with great reluctance by Lord “Protocol is Protocol. Stop Being a Pain About It” Todd): 1. He brought a curse upon himself and now bears the skin of a snake. 2. He can’t take his eyes off the injured thief recovering in the castle. 3. Friendships born from lying and insisting the other person wears a blindfold can blossom into true love—which he needs to break the curse.
