One Snowy Knight by Deborah MacGillivray

Scotland- 1296 Winter has come early this year and with the drought in summer, Craigendan Keep’s food supply is extremely low. Lady Skena MacIain is a widower with two small children, managing the whole keep since her husband’s death. While she may be strong, and can take on many a burden, she is still a woman in need of love and a man’s presence to take control and replenish what the people of Cragendan need. Born of Ogilvie blood, she is blessed with the kenning, but it has never been strong enough to amount to anything until now; when the children’s Yuletide wish comes true.

Noel de Servian, had lost both of his parents at a young age, and was taken in by the Challon’s, he grew up alongside some of the strongest warriors that he has ever known; yet he’s never known real true love. While he may not be blood, he was still considered a Dragon of Challon. After his service to King Edward, he was awarded Craigendan Keep and the title of Baron. Noel had no idea that fate has big plans for him. After waking to a woman standing before him wielding a sword against a hungry wolf, Skena MacIain was all he could think about. While Noel and Skena have a special bond that forms very quickly, he has a secret that may upset Skena enough to leave this Dragon out in the cold licking his wounds.

The past is haunting to Skena, around every bend she sees her dead husband Angus, and someone is out to hurt her. She may very well be fully head over heels smitten with the beautiful Norman-English man in her bed, but she has worked much too hard to give up Craigendan. Two lives can come together as one, but the truth MUST be revealed, and it’s going to hurt.

Deborah MacGillivray never disappoints with her Historical Romances. I fall so in love with the characters and am always left wanting more. The next books in her series’ are not on the shelf fast enough. Beautifully detailed, warm, and inviting, I could cozy up with Ms. MacGillivray’s books no matter the season, this one just happens to be perfect for winter. I can’t say anything more than, thank you Deborah for creating such a magical and perfect world that you share with your readers. 5 Hearts

Everlasting Kiss by Amanda Ashley

Everlasting Kiss by Amanda Ashley

Daisy O'Donnell has been born into a family of vampire hunters and blood thieves. Although her brothers usually do the dirtiest part of the job, Daisy makes her living by seeking out vampire lairs in the daytime while they're at rest, and stealing a pint or so of their blood. As you know, vampire blood is very powerful and can give you a high like no other if you taste just a small amount, but if you over indulge it can kill you. A blood thief can make pretty good money by selling the blood online, the older the vamp, the more money she rakes in. Daisy is about to become very popular, she has taken the blood of the wrong vampire and slain another... and now the Master of the City, Rhys Costain is out for blood... her blood.

Erik Delacourt has become attached to his little flower, he found out the hard way of what Daisy does for a living when she tried to sneak into his lair and steal his blood. Erik surprised Daisy to say the least, when he showed her that he was the one thing she was taught to kill all of her life, vampire. You would think that she would be afraid, try to run even, well that's even kind of hard when the vampire of your affections will not let you leave. Especially when he knows his friend is out to kill her. Daisy and Erik have a lot that needs to be discussed, lines have been drawn, but lines often get smudged when love becomes a factor.

A betrayal, broken hearts, many nights of tears, and a life path that takes an unexpected turn. Everlasting Kiss is bittersweet, you must take the good with the bad. Amanda Ashley has mastered the art of story telling with her love and passion for the Undead, as well as the purity of her female characters that love with all that is in their being, no matter the consequences. The cover art for Everlasting Kiss is the best so far in my opinion, and the words between the covers pass by much too quickly, I can not wait for the next book! Enchanted as always, Ms. Ashley has really nailed it with this paranormal romance! 5 Hearts
