As their letters crisscross the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other's true identity.

8. The Lacemaker by Sukey Hughes

The year is 1748. Feisty Dutch girl Saskia Klaassens, 19, flees from her abusive home to take a job as nursemaid, sailing with her young charges and Mistress to the Cape of Good Hope. When Saskia begins her new life at the beautiful wine estate in southern Africa, no one knows she hides a secret skill - making exceptionally beautiful lace. 
The willful and spirited Saskia feels compassion for the suffering of the slaves, one of whom is Titus, the handsome young stable master. As they grow close, Saskia finds that Titus has secrets of his own – dangerous secrets. Saskia struggles against the narrow-minded whims of her wealthy employers, especially their arrogant son, Pier. For solace, she makes lace; and finds mentors in two unusual older women. When secrets at the estate are uncovered, events spiral out of control, and Saskia must decide where her loyalty lies – with her increasingly violent Dutch kinsmen, or with Titus, the man forbidden to her, the one who ignites her deepest passion. 

Throughout, Saskia sees life through the prism of lace; and weaves what peace and beauty she can to the rhythm of her bobbins – while Africa weaves its primeval magic around everyone. 

9. Sentimental Journey by Jill Barnett

U.S. Army officer J.R. Cassidy is man known for his stealth, until he finds himself on the run in the deserts of North Africa with Kitty Kincaid, the daughter of a U.S. scientist he has vowed to protect, but who is destined to be used by anyone who wants to control her father. 

Barnstormer Charlotte Morrison follows her passion to the skies over England, where she and other women pilots choose to volunteer for the war effort. But ferrying planes for the RAF is not the only thing that strikes a sharp passion in Charley. When her path crosses with RAF pilot George 'Skip' Inskip and small town Texas patriot Red Walker, she finds her most difficult choices have nothing to do with duty and patriotism. 

From the battlefields of Europe to the blue skies of the English countryside, from solid hometown roots in the American West to the shifting sands of the Sahara Desert, five ordinary men and women risk their lives for honor and their country, and find themselves changed forever, not merely by the circumstances of war, but by the deepest trials of the human heart.

10. A Spear of Summer Grass by Deanna Raybourn

The daughter of a scandalous mother, Delilah Drummond is already notorious, even among Paris society. But her latest scandal is big enough to make even her oft-married mother blanch. Delilah is exiled to Kenya and her favorite stepfather's savanna manor house until gossip subsides.

Fairlight is the crumbling, sun-bleached skeleton of a faded African dream, a world where dissolute expats are bolstered by gin and jazz records, cigarettes and safaris. As mistress of this wasted estate, Delilah falls into the decadent pleasures of society.

Against the frivolity of her peers, Ryder White stands in sharp contrast. As foreign to Delilah as Africa, Ryder becomes her guide to the complex beauty of this unknown world. Giraffes, buffalo, lions and elephants roam the shores of Lake Wanyama amid swirls of red dust. Here, life is lush and teeming—yet fleeting and often cheap.

Amidst the wonders—and dangers—of Africa, Delilah awakes to a land out of all proportion: extremes of heat, darkness, beauty and joy that cut to her very heart. Only when this sacred place is profaned by bloodshed does Delilah discover what is truly worth fighting for—and what she can no longer live without.

Historical Romance Set in Africa

HOT SUMMER NIGHTS, Vol. 2

~The Third Collection~

Eleven scorching stories so hot you'll need to turn up the air!

Box Set includes:

Jami Davenport CRASHING THE BOARDS

Synopsis: Can a party crasher melt the icy heart of a reluctant party guest or will she crash and burn along with her fledgling business?

Teaser/Excerpt: “She’s heading your way.” Cedric jerked his head, and Cooper forgot all about the team owner. Isabella walked toward him with the loose-hipped stride of a runway model. This time he was ready for her games. In fact, he’d play a few of his own, and he played to win.

Sandra Sookoo OPERATION WEDDING CRASH

Synopsis: When Nora Lenhart and her ex, Camden Webber, are thrown together at an engagement dinner, they devise a plan to break up the ill-suited bride and groom for the good of all involved. As the big day nears, emotions hit a breaking point, proving that wedding planning is more suited to a reality show and while happy endings are optional, they exist despite the odds, and can be had if they stop fighting long enough.

Teaser/Excerpt: “There’s something about you I’ve missed all this time,” he whispered, and then his lips were on hers and the world didn’t exist.
She didn’t give herself up to the kiss. Instead, she became an active participant. Every kiss, every meeting of his mouth, she followed and mimicked, and when he didn’t move along quite as fast as she liked, Nora pulled him closer, her back pressing into the door, and parted her lips, hoping to encourage him to take advantage.

Bonnie Edwards SLOW HAND

Synopsis: In this erotically-charged novella, jilted bride Teri, and charter boat captain Jared, have one short week together under the sultry Caribbean sun. Can Jared’s slow hand lead them beyond torrid sex into a lifetime of love?

Teaser/Excerpt:

“I’ve wanted to kiss these tiny perfect toes since you took your shoes off at the pier.”

“Just keep moving up my leg and I’ll be happy.”

His fingers slid to her knee. “You mean up to here?” He swirled her pinky toe into his mouth and tugged on it.

Her knee turned into a fireworks display at the same time her toe melted in his mouth. “Unnnnhh, higher.” She’d implode if he kept up this slow pace.

Diana Duncan DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

Synopsis: Paradise for software designer Cynthia Wagner means uninterrupted solitude to invent a brilliant video game, and save her job. But renovations on her city apartment force her to seek refuge in a temporary rental in the ‘burbs.

The promised Paradise morphs into Purgatory when she meets her new neighbor, a deliciously tempting Irish rogue sporting a wicked grin and to-die-for body. Rory Devlin is a dangerous distraction—and he’s hiding a naughty secret.

Teaser/Excerpt: Cynthia shifted from foot to foot. What did one say to a man after he’d treated you to dinner, given you a fabulous, unexpected orgasm, and then blown up your house—technicalities aside? “Well…um…good night.”

Holding her in his gaze, he prowled a step toward her. Then another. “Cyn.” His low brogue shivered through her as he touched her upper arm. “Sorry I lost my temper with you before.”

“I’ve certainly lost mine enough the past few days.” Constriction in her chest made it hard to exhale. “No apology necessary. You’re only human, Rory.”

He shifted, leaning closer, and his fingertips stroked up the bare skin of her arm to her shoulder.

Her breath jammed in her throat.

“Aye.” Rory’s voice rumbled to a whisper. “That I am.” His fingers slid to the back of her neck, stroking the tender nape. Then his head bent, and his soft, warm mouth covered hers.

Cynthia forgot all about breathing.

Deanna Cameron DANCE WITH ME

Synopsis: Superstar drummer Taz Roman has it all—looks, money, fame. To ambitious belly dancer Melanie Drake, he’s also a playboy with a bad reputation. But when she discovers he isn’t the man she thought he was, her change of heart is going to change everything.

Teaser/Excerpt: He pulled back, and she opened her eyes. Those gorgeous green eyes of his were staring at her, searching her expression, looking so damn vulnerable and adorable it made her knees weak.
“Should I stop?” he breathed, his voice rough, his breath labored.
Her own breath caught in her throat. She should say yes. She knew it. It was the practical thing to do. But she couldn’t pull away.
She whispered, “Don’t you dare.”

Kiru Taye KEEPING SECRETS

Synopsis: A story of secrets, betrayals and love. Keeping Secret will grip you from the start.

Teaser/Excerpt: "Go home. Get plenty of rest. Prepare yourself for me." He nibbled her soft lips. "We have a lot of catching up to do, starting with our wedding night."

Elizabeth Rose SAVING SIMON

Synopsis: Safety Officer of the Seduction of the Sea cruise ship, Simon Taylor, saves Piper Westbrook's life when she falls off the ship during a storm. But when he returns home to Sweet Water, Michigan, he finds the same woman trying to close down the town's marina that he someday hopes to buy.

Teaser/Excerpt: (The Taylor Twelve: Sons of a preacher but far from saints, these men are nothing but trouble.)

His mouth came closer and she lifted her chin and closed her eyes, anticipating feeling those strong but soft lips caressing hers again, but this time not in an act of saving her life. This time, in an act of passion. Then their lips met and she felt as if magic had passed through her body. His kiss was bold, yet gentle at the same time. He tasted of power, challenge, and the sea.

Jenna Allen DESIRE RENEWED

Synopsis: The daring lives of husbands and wives.

Teaser/Excerpt: His big, work callused hands encircled my waist as he pulled me to him; his mouth on mine, hot and insistent. Trevor’s scent, an intoxicating mix of the outdoors and pure masculinity wafted through me and I relented, allowing full access to my lips, tongue, and mouth. When I was nearly out of breath, he broke away, grinning.

"Good girl."

Rae Lori RIO SUNRISE

Synopsis: After landing the photography job of a lifetime, Jayla Mitchelson gets more than she bargained for when wealthy business mogul, Eric Jansen, asks her for a special favor.

Teaser/Excerpt: "Just move with me." He was lost in the soft, flowery scent of her hair and skin. No one else remained, but the piano player setting the mood for their bodies to fall into rhythmic motion as he held her.
"Eric..."
His name so soft and with such urgency on her lips made his body heat with desire. If he had his way, he would hold on to Jayla for as long fate allowed.

Theresa Troutman MY SECRET SUMMER

Synopsis: Dylan helps Caitlin deal with her grief and awakens her sexuality. These two misfits fall in love, while trying to keep their relationship a secret from Caitlin’s parents.

Teaser/Excerpt: “What if I come too fast? What if you don’t enjoy it? What if I suck?” Dylan asked.
“I think that’s my job,” I joked to lighten the mood.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, thank you Evernight Publishing!

Warning: This short story is an erotica and features sexual content including light BDSM.

This little story was delightful. I have never heard of the author previously but I will seek out more of her work now. It was sexy and fun and well put together.

This is an author who knows what they are talking about when it comes to BDSM. While they did not touch upon this couples’ agreement in particular, but the context of the story lets you know that they are well aware of each other’s rules in this game. And the small snippet of the other story we got even used the BDSM mantra, SSC. That delighted me. There’s even a moment of aftercare! I think I swooned.

This main character is also great. She is a strong, determined, smart fighter of a woman. I kind of cringed when I saw she had a violent past, but it is not typically what you would see and honestly had nothing to do with her interest in BDSM. That was really refreshing since most female characters in BDSM are reliving some past abuse all of the time.

Overall it was a short little story but one that was excellently executed.
