New Release Book Review: Consequence of Their Forbidden Night by Rachael Stewart

Rachael Stewart's latest romance, "Their One Night Baby", is a heart-warming and emotional story about two best friends who cross the line one night and must navigate the consequences of their actions. This novel is a perfect combination of romance, friendship, and unexpected challenges. It's the second book in the Billionaires for the Rose Sisters series.

The story follows Brendan, a successful criminal defence lawyer, and Hannah, his best friend since childhood. Despite their undeniable attraction to each other, they have never acted on their feelings. However, one spontaneous night changes everything. When Hannah reveals that their one night together had caused an unexpected consequence, Brendan's shocked and unsure how to handle the situation…

Ms. Stewart has created two relatable and engaging characters in Brendan and Hannah. Hannah, specifically, shows resilience to conform to what others, including Brendan, believe is the right way to move their relationship forward in a positive way. I loved this about her, and her determination not to compromise. It's a classic case of poor communication between friends who haven't had to question their emotional feelings towards each other before. It highlights the strengths and weaknesses of their close friendship, exposing their emotions as raw and real. As they navigate the ups and downs of unexpected parenthood, they both grow and mature, learning to trust and rely on each other in new ways.

The plot moves at a good pace, with enough twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. The romantic tension between Brendan and Hannah is palpable, and their chemistry is sizzling. The author has done an excellent job of balancing the emotional drama with light-hearted moments and humour.

Overall, "Their One Night Baby" is an enjoyable and satisfying read. It's a story about second chances, unexpected love, and the power of friendship. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a romance novel with a strong emotional core.

It's always a treat to pick up and read a novel by a favourite author and this is no exception.

Billionaire's Island Temptation is the first book in the Billionaires for the Rose Sisters duet, and it is a seductive and steamy romance novel that will leave you craving for more.

The narrative revolves around Jessie Rose, a young woman who is looking for an escape from her stressful life, after the break-up of her relationship with Adam, and the death of her mum. Then there's billionaire Joel Austin, a brooding and enigmatic man who is not looking for anything permanent because he's avoiding all relationships. When their paths unexpectedly cross, both throw caution to the wind, as heady feelings of temptation and lust overwhelm them. The chemistry between Jessie and Joel is undeniable from the start, and their fling on the tropical island of Mustique is both thrilling and dangerous. Despite their mutual attraction, both characters have their own demons and baggage that they must confront and overcome if they want their relationship to develop into something more… which they don't, do they?

I love this coupling. Jessie and Joel come from differing backgrounds but share heartbreaking experiences. Interestingly, they both may be far from their loved ones, however, this doesn't mean the ones "at home" don't know what is happening thousands of miles away. Therefore, it's easy to understand how the loved-up couple wants to be left alone...they are consenting adults after all!

Oh, this is another fabulously sexy novel by Ms. Stewart. As I've come to expect, her writing style is captivating and sensual, and once again, she has created two complex and relatable characters in Jessie and Joel. The setting of the tropical island adds a dreamy and romantic backdrop to the story, making it the perfect beach read.

Overall, Billionaire's Island Temptation is a delightful and engaging romance novel that will leave you eagerly anticipating the second book. There's more than a subtle hint about who will be in the spotlight in the next instalment and I know I can't wait to read about their story too.

New Book Publication Spotlight & Review: Surprise Reunion With His Cinderella by Rachael Stewart

Surprise Reunion with His Cinderella by Rachael Stewart

Can one week in paradise…
…heal ten years of heartache?

When the elite M dating agency sends wealthy Freddie Highgrove to the Seychelles for a weeklong “date,” the last person he’s expecting to be matched with is Jasmine Walker, his first love and ex-fiancée! Ten years ago, his family’s expectations for a high-society marriage sent housekeeper’s daughter Jasmine running. Can one week in paradise bring them back together?

 mybook.to/reunionwithcinderella

A modern-day fairytale… yes, please!

Freddie Highgrove and Jasmine Walker were once engaged. Now ten years later, they are matched via the elite M Dating Agency and their blind date is a week-long break at a tropical paradise resort… the same location they'd planned to have as their honeymoon before their relationship fell apart...

When Freddie saw Jasmine...when Jasmine realised Freddie was her date; the awkward comments, foot-in-mouth remarks… and suspicions. The emotional highs and lows are heartfelt as the pair navigate their current surroundings yet, the old feelings for each other are still there… as if they never went away at all…only their priorities and life goals have shifted…as harsh truths are navigated.

The back story tells of how the two originally got together… the jarring discrepancy in their differing social status. However, during the intervening time, they are now equal, at least in wealth. So, after ten years, Is it possible for the former housekeeper's daughter to gain acceptance into the Highgrove family?

Happy endings are hard-fought and Jas and Freddie's follows a well-trodden bumpy path. Second-chance romance is one of my favourite tropes and Ms Stewart has written a wonderful story set against the contrasting backdrops of The Seychelles and Edinburgh. The narrative is escapism at its finest with exotic locations, rich protagonists, wise words and just a hint of calculated intervention and of course a happily-ever-after!

Readers familiar with this author will delight at this new novel and for those who have yet to discover the wonderful stories she creates… take a chance… they won't disappoint. As for Surprise Reunion With His Cinderella, prepare to be swept away in a whirlwind of romance!

Publication Day Spotlight & Review: Reawakened by Rachael Stewart

Reawakened by Rachael Stewart

In the latest superhot tale from reader-favorite author Rachael Stewart, business owner Olivia Carmel is embracing her wild side, and PR expert Valentine Boretti has been hired to rein her in. But instead, Olivia is driving him wild…for her!

Seeing a client naked is no way to start a working relationship—especially when that client is stunningly sensual Olivia Carmel. When she invites me to watch her BDSM session in London’s most hedonistic sex club, she thinks I’m a stranger, not a PR expert sent to rein her in.

Watching Olivia awakens a hunger I can’t allow myself to feel. There’s no way I can work with her! But when she crashes her luxury car, I can’t sit on the sidelines and wait for her recklessness to turn fatal. She may kill me when she recognizes me…and when she learns a man sixteen years her junior has been hired to curtail her bad behavior.

I’m here to reawaken Olivia’s careful, rational nature. But instead she’s reawakening my desire…showing me just how well we work together in and out of the bedroom. As we fulfill each other’s naughtiest fantasies, and share our deepest longings, I realize I’m feeling more for my wayward client than lust. But can I convince Olivia to take a chance on love?

A perfect finale from Harlequin Dare; Reawakened is sexy, a sizzling story with strong-willed protagonists.

Entrepreneur, Olivia Carmel is uncontrollable. After losing her husband, she's determined to live her life in the fast lane, not caring what others think. Only her actions are becoming an embarrassment to the board of her company. They want to… need to rein in her behaviour before she destroys her company and charity's reputation. So they send in PR expert Valentine Boretti to help… with surprising results.

Manipulating. The heroine isn't instantly likeable… it took time to warm to her personality. Her controlling behaviour; baiting a response from Valentine made for uncomfortable reading. Yet, the author makes it clear Olivia is struggling and her actions are symptoms of the issues she is unable to cope with.

Ever the pragmatist and without prompting, Valentine offers Olivia a life with solutions. One where hurdles are easily overcome. Therefore, despite their age difference, the younger man proves he is mature far beyond his years and very much attuned to his client in both mind and body!

Written from a dual point of view, the author gives us a greater insight into what the protagonists are thinking which adds an exciting dimension to the narrative. As with all the Rachel Stewart novels I've devoured previously, Reawakened is everything I expected and more.

Publication Day Push and Review: Our Little Secret by Rachael Stewart

Our Little Secret by Rachael Stewart

A little secret sexy fun
Under the Tuscan sun!

It's her best mate’s wedding week – and Faye Davenport is celebrating with a skinny dip under the Tuscan moon. Except she's not alone. The sexy Italian dish is Rafael Perez – her mate’s off-limits older brother. But now it's too late. This illicit, irresistible fire is already out of control.

 http://mybook.to/ourlittlesecret

A wedding in Tuscany, what's not to like?

Faye is in Tuscany to act as a Maid of Honour at her best friend, Dani's wedding. Her job for the week is to ensure all plans run smoothly, especially when the bride's mother and brother are not thrilled about the nuptials. With the knowledge her friend is trying to set her up with her cousin, Faye is sceptical...especially after she meets an Adonis of a man while skinny-dipping…

Rafael Perez wasn't happy when he found out his best friend and his little sister planned to get married. Now two years later, he has accepted the relationship between the two people who mean the world to him and even bought a castle, so his sister has her dream wedding location. After arriving at his new home in Tuscany, he's instantly attracted to an unknown woman swimming naked in his pool by moonlight. He knows he should ignore her blatant attempts to seduce him, but…

Helping to set the scene, several members of the bride and hero's Italian family add drama as the protagonists sneak around to enjoy elicit liaisons during the many pre-wedding festivities. It's fun, frivolous and sexy all rolled into one!

I needed to fan my self while reading Faye and Rafael's story. Their electrically charged attraction leads to swizzling hot and erotic scenes, as the two lovers try to keep their attraction a secret from those around them. It quickly becomes clear that their attraction to each other is more than a holiday fling even though they both plan to go there separate ways after the wedding.

Therefore, the conclusion is more than satisfying with a sentimental twist and it's another five star novel from a favourite author of mine.
