Evelyn Hadley-Attwater has it all -- a genteel Victorian life replete with loving husband, ball gowns and elegant parties. No one, including the man she married, suspects that she was once "Eve," a spy for England's most enigmatic intelligence agency. Summoned for one final assignment, the excitement of her former life and memories of her mysterious, flirtatious boss "Sir" prove too tempting....

Adrian Hadley-Attwater is a respectable, dignified gentleman. But even the most proper gentlemen have secrets of their own. Secrets from the rest of the world, from their families, from their wives. Secrets that have a price. Now, as a veil of secrecy frays, a tantalizing game of cat and mouse will test the bounds of unfailing love...

My Thoughts and Review

Wow ! This book was fun witty and full of surprises I absolutely love it and if I could give it more than 5 stars I would.What a page turner!
There was so much going on in the front line and the background also.The characters were great they all had personalities that were likeabe and also funny and one even on the more cautious side lending there humor to the story to make it a fun filled enjoyable read.

Eve used to be a spy. Eve is now though retired and married happily to Adrian Hadley-Attwater who is now an Earl and she is a countess .She is loving her new life even though at times it might be just a little boring.Eve is called back into service to fret out a spy who has stolen a file containing all the information about all the operatives they have in service. She needs to fret the thief out and bring this thief or spy to justice and this case to a close as soon as possible.Not wanting to do this as she is happily married and does not want to lose her husband due to her past she must find a way to go about and find the culprit and silence him or her once and for all .

Adrian is the suspicious sort and notices his wifes strange behavior. He follows her about and spies on her thinking she is having and affair.Boy, is he so wrong and is now eating crow every time he intervenes he draws even more conclusions getting him in even deeper hot water.The situations that Adrian creates for himself are hilarious !

Without giving away the rest of the plot and story you get the gist. Eve in a sense leads are husband on a merry chase even though she doesn't realize it.Her husband though has a very big secret of his own.Though it is true they need to catch the person responsible for taking the list and retrieving it as it endangers all parties a much bigger scheme is going on and another plot on top of that as the mystery unravels so do the clues to solve all the mysteries floating about.

I have to say that Eve and Celeste made this book really enjoyable with there big personalities quick whit and fun and loving nature.They had me laughing all throughout the book.And then the was Adrian who did nothing but cause havoc creating these all so hilarious situations he got himself into all over his jealousy over Eve and watching him try and get out of them was a hoot !

There was so much going on to keep you interested .Had a bit of romance a mystery and definitely tons of laughs for sure. I loved it.A Recommended read to all !Its in the keeper pile for sure for a re-read when one needs a good laugh.Been reading this author for 20 years and still love her !

Haunted Honeymoon by Marta Acosta

Haunted Honeymoon by Marta Acosta

My rating: 5 of 5 stars






THERE'S MORE THAN HER HEART AT STAKE. . . .As the only human to survive vampire infection, Milagro de Los Santos has become quite a celebrity among the blood-drinking elite. Too bad the perks of her condition--increased strength, super-fast healing--don't pay her condo fees. There are other complications too. She's feeling guilty about her fling with enigmatic Vampire Council member Ian Ducharme, and pining for her ex-fiance, Dr. Oswald Grant . . . the fabulous man whose kiss changed her life. It's when Milagro--irked by Ian's attentions to his neighbor--travels to London and enjoys a sexy flirtation of her own, that the blood really hits the fan. Suddenly, those around her are dying gruesome deaths and Milagro's being interrogated. Who would kill to set her up as a murder suspect? Milagro just wants to turn back the clock and have another chance to make things right, but no sooner has she escaped to Oswald's ranch than an accident obliterates her memory. Will the murderer come after her now? And will amnesia spark a romantic do-over with Oswald--or will she make all the same mistakes before she ever gets to say "I do"?



My thoughts...



Milagro questions her relationship with the powerful Vampire Council member Ian Ducharme. Ian aggressively pursued her and although she had been engaged to another vampire named Oswald, she was unable to resist Ian's allure and broke their engagement. But Ian has a darker side and Milagro wonders what her life would have been like it if she had stayed and married her steady and handsome ex-fiance (Oswald)instead.Deciding to take a break from Ian and thoughts of what could have been with both loves  she's off to see a vampire surfer where she has a fling and some hot and heavy sex.Deciding to hook up at a later date once she is back home the sexy surfer shows but ends up dead.Milagro ends up being the likely suspect but she has a accident and now has amnesia and can't remember anything . Torn and lonely she returns home to be comforted by Oswald and surrounding family.Thinking she may have a do -over with Oswald they strike up there relation again but, Oswald is not being honest in his feelings for her.It was one hell of a  ride that Milagro took us on to solve a murder and trying to find out what her true feeling for the two men in her life one that she loves and the other super sexy vampire Ian she can't forget or remember at the same time. I thought this book was a fun and sexy read full of life and vibrant character's and some very wild and hot sexy vampires that brought some hot sex to the pages of this book that only a girl in love with a sexy vampire could appreciate made me laugh quite often.Quite and enjoyable read and look forward to the others in this series.First time read of this author for me and I have already ordered the rest to read in the series and I am looking forward to it. Can't wait!

 

Don't Talk Back To Your Vampire (Broken Heart Vampires, #2) by Michele Bardsley

Don't Talk Back To Your Vampire (Broken Heart Vampires #2)
by Michele Bardsley

Being a mother is never easy-especially when you're undead.

Eva LeRoy, Broken Heart, Oklahoma's librarian, got "vampified" when everyone else did: during a rogue vampire's feeding frenzy. But books still make her undead heart beat-and, strangely enough, so does Lorcan the Loner, the vampire who killed her...

My thoughts

My first book my Michele and loved it. Her writing and wit reminded me about another favorite author of mine Gerry Bartlett. I laughed, I cried, and I started wondering if all the hot Gaelic speaking men lived in some sleepy little town in Oklahoma .This little sleepy town had some really HOT vampires where a girl like me would like to find a vamp of her own speaking all sexy Gaelic makes a girl all dreamy and melting inside. LOL I really loved Lorcan and Eva, they were my kind of couple. They both had self-esteem issues, responsibilities, and were strong yet vulnerable on their own. Both grew together in order to get over there complex issues and also learning to forgive and accept the past in order to be happy with ones future.

It seems like a very real town and all these parents are dealing with very real issues: how to do right by their kids, how to set up a working schedule, and how to blend their new lives . The fact that they are vampire's and parents they still had to raise there kids like every other single parent but slightly different. I liked the fact that Eva daughter was accepting of her mother's new life style.The scenes going on between mother and daughter are like any other parents you fight and make up.

Eva's character made me laugh out loud so many of times she was too funny for someone who was suppose to be a mousy librarian. Lorcan had so many layers to him it was nice to see all of the unfolding before your eyes.Several twists and turns along the way. They gave you a little background as to what happened and why 11 single parents where made vampire and why.The other characters when brought over from the first book and included in this book made it fun an interesting. Eva surprised me the most of all forgiving the vampire who turned her life upside down and saw his tortured soul and wanted to ease it by loving him. Not a lot going on in this story just a slow budding romance with two unlikely couples falling in love and one making a sacrifice to save the one they love.

Looking forward to picking up the first that started the series and reading the rest of the series .I am thinking there will be many laughs ahead to read about. Fast fun read read the book in a couple of hours.
