100 Best Romances and Why Some Books Didn't Make the Cut

Who doesn't love a good list?  NPR published it's 100 best romance novels list this past Wednesday, July 29th, and as the title would lead you to believe, it's got some of the best of the best on that list.  Click here to find out who's on the list.   Upset that your favorite didn't make the list?  NPR was gracious (or smart) enough to publish why some books didn't make the cut.  Read it here.

Can't Wait For: Tiffany Snow's Playing Dirty (October 2015)

Available 09/29/2015

DOWN AND DIRTY

Faced with a choice between bad-boy detective Dean Ryker and sexy power player Parker Anderson, Sage Reece fought the law--and the law won. But while Ryker's sizzling touch may rule her nights, Sage's days belong to Parker's cool, calculating intensity. . . .

Both Ryker and Parker are determined to protect Sage from a brutal enemy who'd use her to pay for their mistakes. Yet when the usually on-point Ryker is distracted by ghosts from his past, Parker seizes his opportunity to get Sage's attention--and keep it in ways beyond her wildest dreams.

Now, caught between a mobster out for revenge and two men who were once best friends, Sage must play to win--even if it means getting dirty. . .

I read the first book in this series, POWER PLAY, in one night!  Seriously, I couldn't put it down.   I am totally working on my review of that book.  Maybe that'll tide me over until PLAYING DIRTY is released--but I doubt it!

Can't Wait For: Elizabeth Hoyt's Sweetest Scoundrel (December 2015)

Available 11/24/2015


SHE'S TAKING CHARGE
Prim, proper, and thrifty, Eve Dinwoody is all business when it comes to protecting her brother's investment. But when she agrees to control the purse strings of London's premier pleasure garden, Harte's Folly, she finds herself butting heads with an infuriating scoundrel who can't be controlled.

HE'S RUNNING THE SHOW

Bawdy and bold, Asa Makepeace doesn't have time for a penny-pinching prude like Eve. As the garden's larger-than-life owner, he's already dealing with self-centered sopranos and temperamental tenors. He's not about to let an aristocratic woman boss him around . . . no matter how enticing she is.

BUT LOVE CONQUERS ALL

In spite of her lack of theatrical experience-and her fiery clashes with Asa-Eve is determined to turn Harte's Folly into a smashing success. But the harder she tries to manage the stubborn rake, the harder it is to ignore his seductive charm and raw magnetism. There's no denying the smoldering fire between them-and trying to put it out would be the greatest folly of all . . .


* * * * * * * * 
Elizabeth Hoyt is one of my favorite authors because of the non-mainstream heroes and heroines that she writes about.  SWEETEST SCOUNDREL is the ninth (!) book in her delightful Maiden Lane series and features one of my favorite romance novel tropes, the buttoned-up heroine and the rakish hero.  Merry Christmas to me!
