The Virgin and the Viscount
by Charis Michaels
Series: The Bachelor Lords of London (#2)
Published by: Avon Impulse
July 5th, 2016
Genre: Historical Romance
Format: Mass-Market Paperback
Source: Purchased
Rating: 4 Stars

The Virgin 
     Lady Elisabeth Hamilton-Baythes has a painful secret. At fifteen, she was abducted by highwaymen and sold to a brothel. But two days later, she was rescued by a young lord, a man she’s never forgotten. Now, she’s devoted herself to save other innocents from a similar fate. 
The Viscount 
     Bryson Courtland, Viscount Rainsleigh, never breaks the rules. Well, once, but that was a long time ago. He’s finally escaped his unhappy past to become one of the wealthiest noblemen in Britain. The last thing he needs to complete his ideal life? A perfectly proper wife. 
The Unraveling 
     When Bryson and Elisabeth meet, he sees only a flawless candidate for his future wife. But a distant memory calls to him every time he’s with her. Elisabeth knows she’s not the wife Bryson needs, and he is the only person who has the power to reveal her secret. But neither can resist the devastating pull of attraction, and as the truth comes to light, they must discover that an improper love is the truest of all.


     Lord Rainsleigh and Lady Elizabeth met when they were young and Elizabeth virginity was going to be sold to Brayson's father. Before Bryson and his dad, uncle, and cousin make it to the brothel one of the other whores helps Elizabeth switch rooms. Bryson didn't want to be there and so he escapes and takes Elizabeth with him. Years later they meet again but Rainsleigh doesn't remember her.

     From the very beginning, I was hooked with what was happening with Elizabeth and Brayson. I found it very nerve-wracking and later on exiting both times they "met for the first time".

     I found myself cheering both of these characters on and wanting them to be together. I also got mad at Rainsleigh for his attitude and him wanting to always be in control. I felt so much hurt for the pasts of both Elizabeth and Bryson that I couldn't wait for them to be happy.

     There were some things that annoyed me and some things I could have done without (especially towards the end) but I enjoyed the story and recommend it to anyone that like historical romance.

Veronica's Dragon
by Ruby Dixon
Series Icehome (#2)
Published by: Author
May 23rd, 2018
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Rating: 4 Stars

     Resonance. 
     It’s a given on the ice planet, forced upon you by the parasitic symbiont called the ‘khui’. With resonance, a guy and a girl are paired up because they’ll make great babies. It’s a survival mechanism necessary for this sparsely-populated world we’re stranded on… and romantic, in a weird, alien way. 
     Everyone expects resonance to happen when twenty newcomers are dropped onto the frosty world. I doubt anyone expects the gorgeous, golden god named Ashtar to resonate to someone like me, though. He’s fierce. Flirty. Powerful. Disgustingly handsome. 
     I’m… not any of those things. I’m bland. Boring. Clumsy. 
     But resonance seems to think we’d be great together. And Ashtar does, too… 


     What can I say about this book? Well, Ruby Dixon is one of the best (IMO) when writing very alien aliens.

     I loved Ashtar and Veronica so much. I have not read Dixon's Fireblood Dragon series yet so this is my first Dragon from her and I will definitely get my hands on that series asap.

     This story is told paralleled to Lauren's Barbarian story, the first book of the series. From the moment they are rescued from the slavers' ship and before they get their "cooties" Ashtar is attracted to Veronica and he can't wait for the other's to let down their guard so he can steal her away and be free.

     I loved this story and the characters. Veronica is a healer and I was glad to see a new element to these stories (although I haven't yet finished the IPB series so the sa-khui healer might have gotten a story too) and see how the healing is done.

     I was very sad that Ashtar still didn't understand that he was truly free and that he didn't have to run away. That the other barbarians respect resonance and that Veronica just wanted to be with him. I did love how very protective of Veronica and how mad he got when she overtaxed herself. It was just plain adorable.

     Ruby Dixon, in my opinion, is a master at creating "alieny" looking aliens that you can't help but love. I can't wait for the next story and to continue reading the IPB one.
